The game will run with a patched exe. However the game looks like a whiteout and fmv do not work. You can skip the first 2 fmvs by press f9 but this does not work when an enemy does a spell you will be stuck there.

To skip those pesky cinematics problems, pressing F9 will gracefully skip them and continue on.
When you initially run the Grandia2.exe file, the game screen will be black.
This is because of the UBI cinematic. Press F9. Problem solved.
Grandia 2 has a configuration utility called GmConfig.exe, found in the game folder. Here, you can change or/and memorise the game controls and modify the graphics settings.
The graphics options are quite simple.
The initial settings are 640x480 16-bit.
You would very likely want to change that to 1024x768 32-bit, for best quality.
