You're left with a group of guys with the same stats standing around using a regular attack with a useless défend command and à run button. No unique animations and no sound either. Like take away all the abilities, all the equipment, make it a mirror match between a group of all identical guys with the same stats, no equipment and no passives. Take DQ11, and strip all the "unique" things in it. You're not invested in each individual turn because of a QTE or smth, but because the game is just that mechanically deep even on a fundamental level. Grandia combat is just so dynamic in general. The sound design and camera work of Grandia really helps, but I don't think it's the key imo. That's true as well, but this also ignores just the amount of things missing from all those games that Grandia does have from simply a mechanical perspective.
