The Army and its technology echoes early-to-mid 20th century Germany, though the settlements and culture seem to branch out into more [[StandardFantasySetting generic European stylisation]]. Practically every named Nortis character has a German [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign (or at least German-sounding)]] name.

A 2002 {{Spinoff}} of the ''Franchise/{{Grandia}}'' series. As the ''Grandia'' games were renowned for their exciting and dynamic battle system, a decision was made to make a game that focused almost entirely on combat. Unfortunately, this means that [[ExcusePlot the story is threadbare]] and the gameplay revolves around grinding for [[ForcedLevelGrinding levels, equipment and skills]]. There are only seven dungeons in the game, three of which are [[RandomlyGeneratedLevels randomly generated]].

A natural disaster known as the Elemental Disorder has thrown the world into chaos, forcing the Nortis Army to mobilise and search for a solution. A young Ranger named Evann is recruited to help in this endeavour, an offer that he is prepared to turn down until he discovers that his childhood friend and [[TheRival rival]] Kroitz is a high-ranking commander within the army. Accepting the mission, Evann must travel to the four elemental temples that lie across the world and investigate just what (or even ''who'') could be causing the Elemental Disorder.
