My main motivation for making this mod is for the gamer and to make Grandia II, that is one of my favorite games of all times, more pleasant to play. However, if you really enjoy this mod, please consider donating to help me offset my costs and time. Even the smallest amount will be appreciated.

How to install:
1 - Make a backup of your "[Grandia 2 root folder]\data\afs" folder. This mod will overwrite many files in there and you should keep a backup to make it possible to undo everything.
2 - Copy the "data" folder inside this zip to your Grandia 2 folder. E.g.: "C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Grandia II Anniversary Edition".
Things to keep in mind:
- This is a work in progress, so lots of things are still unchanged.
- If this mod makes your game crash or cause other graphical glitches, please let me know.
- I put jpg files that show what each dds file changes, so you can choose which ones to use if you don't want to use all of them.
- All the changed textures are basically 4 times bigger (e.g.: 256x256 to 512x512) so I don't know how this changed minimum and recommended PC settings.
- I try to find fonts that closely resemble the original ones, but they're not the same.
- The main font of the game, used for many UI stuff and even speech text, is a whole different beast to tame. I don't think I have enough skills to change it, but I'll keep trying.
- I'm not an artist, so some things may look strange while other things I'll never even change, but I try my best.
