I like how the old dragon thinks you're there for something important, only to learn you're after something you have no idea is actually a piece of dragon shit ^.^
Wow I remember the first time I played this game was the original first version on the Sega CD. It was the first time I saw animation and voice acting in a game and I was amazed. It's not shown here but if you didn't press anything in the start menu there would be another preview of scenes with this song "Fighting through the darkness" that I love and think of every now and then
I just learned that the guy who drew the art for Lunar now does the art for THE iDOLM@STER, and the 3d models in the games are based on his style.
His style has changed a bit, but you can definitely see the similarity between iDOLM@STER and Lunar in the original arcade version of the game. And you can even see the similarity in the newer games if you compare it to Dragon Song (I like to pretend that game doesn't exist, but...)
I love one of quarks lines in the game. I don't remember word for word but the general idea was something along the lines of diamonds and why would humans want them considering where they came from. That will forever bring laughter for me.
I can't get over how many wonderful memories this brings back... thats it!!! Luna's song on the boat did it! I must play LUNAR NOW! :D lol after all the movies.....
man... this brings back memories... this is the very first game i ever owned and played on ps1.... though somebody barrowed it and never returned it.. lol.. one of my fave game ever... i just missed this game T_T
man... this brings back memories... this is the very first game i ever owned and played on ps1.... though somebody barrowed it and never returned it.. lol..
@DevHQLessons It was never meant to be an anime series. Although I can understand the popularity of this RPG to justify what you're suggesting. Sadly, I don't think Japan has any interest in reviving an old game as an anime series. One can dream of it, though.
well I'm 21 and I only got to play disc 1 of lunar 2 of the psx version back in 1990s since I was borrowing it. But anyway Luna's voice for the psx version sounds half a sleep.
Everytime I hear the opening, I have a tear of joy because i'm playing my favorite game of all time. and then when this song plays in the credits I have a tear of sorrow in my eye because I don't want the game to end. This game is amazing, nothing and I mean NOTHING will ever top this game.
The game was like most RPG with a Upside Look, This Cut scenes Was Really Cool, Due to the Capacity of the CD (640 MB) Those were really Small but Worth waiting for them to Load..... Or even if you need to change de CD to keep watching it! it was a Really Nice game, the only One that was over this one at that moment was Castlevania Symphony of the night. Most psP games Were terrible xD
Nall is actually a dragon, but he looks like a cat. He was actually voiced by a female voice actor in this game and by a man in the second game. Oh, and Dyne is still alive but he goes by the name of Laike.
Yeah, kinda sorry about that rant. I just saw the cutscene with the girl singing, and its animation is actually wonderful. But still, does animation only look good in key moments? mark me down if you like. I don't have a lot to go on since I won't watch past this video for fear of...spoilers...0.0
The animation could be more fluid, too. I mean, I'm sorry if I'm offending anyone or if it was impressive for its time or anything like that, but from what I've seen so far (and no, I'm not gonna spoil the entire game for me by seeing every cutscene) everything barely moves except in the opening song thing. The opening song thing was beautifully animated, but everything else (so far, again) is considerably less than meh, ESPECIALLY when you compare it to the opening. Sorry if it gets better l8tr
Alright, I do admit that the English voice acting is kind of bad, particularly with Luna (actually, Luna's the only one I have any big problems with, thought her singing voice is gorgeous) but the BEAUTIFUL animation more than makes up for it. Notice how they put so much loving detail into the background. And I actually happen to prefer the English version of the opening theme over the Japanese one.
Also, the way I draw my eyes is EXACTLY the same as Lunar's.
They really need to bring back traditional anime cutscenes in RPGs like Lunar Silver Star Story had. Nowadays the only RPGs that do them anymore are some of Nippon Ichi's, but even then the animated cutscenes are in only a few parts in the game, where Lunar Silver Star Story had plenty of them.
@karitheninja You don't see this as often because developers feel this is jarring for the user as the graphics of the game don't match cut-scenes which leads to a discontinuity in the feel of the game.
@karitheninja I agree with you, its like now days, the RPG designers don't learn from this game and Final Fantasy, Chrono trigger, Star ocean second story, ect... well best of luck for you friend, fyi, i need to play more of this game, lol i only got to the part in the dragons cave, (sad i know) but at least i have a good sense its a good game.

As an RPG, Final Fantasy IX is better, but Lunar is the most memorable.
