Replaying the Lunar series again.

I was looking at these box sets the other day and decided that I wanted to give these 2 games another playthrough again. I am talking about the two remakes on the PS1 which were translated by Working Designs.

There are many reasons that contribute to why I love these games so much. Most people tend to hate on Working Designs localizations because of their American style. I personally love it, and I have found myself talking to every NPC in town and every animal or object in town, just because they all always have something funny or interesting to say. Hell, there was one NPC right outside the Magic city of Vane asking how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop. Talk to him again and he asks why M&MS melt in your mouth and not in your hand. ^^ Sometimes Working Designs can go a little too far though. I still love the main storyline now, but it seems a bit more cheesy then it was before. Probably because I was a lot younger when I originally played in 1998. Luna's boat song is still amazing and makes me wish they did more scenes like this in new RPGs. ; ;

I can't wait to finish this one and move on to Lunar 2. The game seemed like a mjaor improvement over the first. The story was better. It had another awesome cast of characters. The game was made much more difficult than the first (last boss is mean) and 15-30 hours longer. The battle themes were much better in this one as well. It was also neat being able to revisit locations from the original to see how they're doing 2000 years later. When I beat the game before, I never played the extra end game stuff after seeing the sad ending. CS told me its awesome and worth seeing the true ending, so I can take care of that my next playthrough.

Who else loved the lunar games and why? Do you prefer the original Sega CD versions to the remakes? We should get everyone to replay these games this summer. ^_^

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wow. This must be that fan version that came out. The CD art is totally different, and it has a normal sized manual. =O

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Enemies were never based off of Hiro's level. Only the bosses were in order to keep them somewhat challenging. Of course just not leveling up Hiro or Alex allowed you to avoid this. But having them higher level than the rest of your party may put you at a slight disadvantage.

I came across the intro to the original Sega CD version which I haven't seen before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1BNr...ar%20sega%20cd

Why is the intro song so much more cooler than the remakes? ;____;

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Turns out I have to buy a new copy of Lunar 2. I finished the first and started playing the second game today. A few years ago my niece got into my gaming collection and trashed a few of them. Lunar 2 was one of the games she scratched up. Anyway, the game runs fine until the part right before Lucia gets zapped and loses her abilities. Then it crashes.

My copy is officially ruined. ;___;

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Game Crazy? I've never seen one before in my life. I don't think they exist anywhere near me. Maybe I can see if GameStop can do it.

Most amazing jew boots

So did you give him any feedback? :3

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
