Ninjaman Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 So who's played both Lunar: Silver Star Story and Eternal Blue? I loved both and can't wait for Lunar 3!
Semjaza Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Game Arts is my 2nd favorite RPG company after Enix (third would be Atlus). I never owned a Sega CD, so I never played the original versions of Lunar and Lunar 2... But I did pick both of the special editions up on PSX. I love the games. Sure, they aren't super impressive visually.. But they still look damn good, and the PSX versions have even more color than the original. I liked the character development, although I could do without most of the voiceovers (not that they are bad, but I prefer reading and making up my own voices lol). I think the best part is that they are so challenging early on. There are some really hard boss fights, and so many monsters at times that it's overwhelming. It's never so frustrating that I didn't just try again after dying though. I prefer Lunar 2 over 1, but it seems not many agree with me.
Ninjaman Posted July 22, 2002 Author Posted July 22, 2002 I know what you mean by challenging. Climbing Althena's Tower in Lunar 1 took a lot outta me. It wasn't any easier fighting Ghaleon in the end, either. I think I barely got out of that battle. I love the animation scenes the most. Lunar 1 had very little, very short scenes. But they were beautiful when they came. The same goes for Lunar 2. Like you I like Lunar 2 more than Lunar 1. I wonder if Lunar Legends(a remake of Lunar 1) for GBA will come here?
GhostofSalvtore Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 No Lunar 2 IMO was better than Lunar one in many ways like the characters, and some of the voices did get annoying at times but I liked 2 better than 1.
Semjaza Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Who knows about Legends... I honestly hope so. But it seems like every RPG I want on GBA never comes... Like Star Ocean on GBC. And who knows when Magical Vacation is coming out :(.
GhostofSalvtore Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 I am not a big fan of remakes it almost seems pointless to own a GC well IMO because most of the titles are just remakes.
Ninjaman Posted July 22, 2002 Author Posted July 22, 2002 Lunar Legends is going to be a remake, but parts of the story is going to be changed. For example, you get Nash in the party near the beginning instead of a few hours away. Also, I hear it's going to be easier.
GhostofSalvtore Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 Still IMO its just a waste there is just minor changes.
Semjaza Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 I don't mind most remakes on GBA, simply because it finally gives you the option to play games on the road. Lunar has never even been available on a Nintendo system up until this game, so it's not like most Nintendo only fans have played the entire series by now.
GhostofSalvtore Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 Yeah that would be the only reason cept its a lil dark sometimes.
