lunar 2 eternal blue /zophar 2 - sega saturn (1998)

[lilfrog5]

This is so difficult

[BrimstoneLandscapes]

The final boss theme here sounds so much better than the Sega CD and PSX versions.

[alrmithi86]

T-T can't find this game anywhere ... i really wana play it agaaaaaaaaaain T-T

[kavinh10]

ugh no wonder he wouldn't die... i was lazy so i didn't look up a guide and the memory saved on my emulator got erased somehow so i was trying to beat with screenshots saves. My hiro didn't have his triple attack i burnt up all my silverlights before this fight and didn't equip any with those revive rings. not to mention i spent the whole time attacking him when i was suppose to wait for lucia to heal... time to replay the game

[bamapagedesign]

The stage itself looks like the last fight from Final Fantasy 1.

[IidoTheEevee]

Wow, Zophar sounds dumb in this one >>;

In the English version, his voice just screams Lord Of Darkness

[Noah837]

standing up against a godlike being takes a lot of courage..

[Terestrasz]

Zophar actually sounds a little more threatening in english. >.>

[TheTigerfan99]

LOl no kidding

[Nigrantis]

Yeah he does, his english voice is awesome.

[Terestrasz]

Yep.

[ScholarlyWarrior]

I just did this battle yesterday. I would recommend to sacrifice one round of turns to simply spread your party out so that zone spells only hit one person. Also, I chose to eliminate all of the arms. It takes a while, but has a greater chance of success in my opinion.

[EddyVitkauskasXband]

@ScholarlyWarrior White dragon protect eliminates the need to spread out... You sure you played this game? ☺ Also Lemina's regular protect spell must have the group in proximity.

[ScholarlyWarrior]

@EddyVitkauskasXband Yes, I'm sure. Even if someone used WDP every turn, Zophar and his limbs can still attack you (magically) more than once per turn. It helped me a great deal when the elemental area spells only hit one member of my party rather than all of them.

[EddyVitkauskasXband]

@ScholarlyWarrior Used Lemina's protect for the magical defense and WDP for physical. Hmmm... Just what seemed to work best for me, however I am going off a memory almost 15 years old ☺ Still a great f-in game!

[ScholarlyWarrior]

@EddyVitkauskasXband My first strategy was to use Lemina's protect spell (with everyone clustered) but I found myself overwhelmed pretty quickly. Oh, and I agree -- great game.

[freezingicekirby]

@EddyVitkauskasXband It helps if you aren't at a very high level, and if you don't have many items... like the first time I fought him. Running out of MP restore items and no more White Dragon protection will screw you in this battle, so lessening the damage a little here and there does help in some ways.

[eternalpeacemaker]

the trick is destroying the 2 outer vulnerable hands BEFORE the time lucia heals you(that's time when the head and the other two hands become vulnerable and "active") because if u don't then it wud be really hard to handle coz ur gonna waste ur time defending as he beats ur party into a bloody pulp with tons of insane spells

[MetalMagnaCarta]

Wow... their original voice actors are terrible, especially Zophar's. He sounds less like a trans-dimensional villain and more like a game show announcer.

[101313109]

nice....

[chadawg]

i never heard of this game but its funny as hell, sound like that boss was rapping to the bgm at first lol!!.

[taheem2]

Haha I remember getting so0o0o mad when he would heal...

I eventually beat him thoo =]

[Noahangel21]

i miss this game, maybe i going to look for the rom in english languaje and a sega saturn emulator

[Juzzler]

White dragon protect is so sweet it saves your ass big time!

[Legendian]

5 years ago I had this.

back then i never beat this boss ;_;, i had played the game and i couldn't exit the last dungeon so i couldn't train, so i restarted and then the same thing happened ._. then I had to return the game to a friend D: and i missed it so much,

THIS time i have it and now i'm gunna train like theres no tomorrow! :D to make sure I won't lose to zophar :( currently level 65 :D and rising! hehe

[RyuTora2808]

Wow, and nobody got killed the whole fight. Awesome job!

[ShangDoh]

God I hated this battle, took me several tries before I kicked his ass.

[ev0luti0n13]

first one is way better but they are both the greatest rpgs ever made

[mrkool500]

damn i got the english version and im only lvl 45 T_T

[Balambcelt]

Dude, get to level 50, so you can get Hiro's Triple Sword attack, and 51 gets you Lemina's Catastrophe, and Jean's Slam Dance, things get so much easier after that.

[kevb2011]

Hey, if Lucia restores your HP and MP, why did you use so many items instead of defending until the time came for her to do so?

[Mogkupokupo]

Whenever I fought this boss, I tried separating the characters so the attacks that hit multiple characters would only hit maybe 1 or 2 instead of 3-all of them. I had to do that, because I wasn't at a very high level.

[lightning050704]

Bullshiiiiit!!! i miss this fucking game so bad that watching this makes my eyes drool with tears... It was a shame that i never got to finish this game, when i was in this last battle my cd accidentally cracked... When it happend it felt like my life ended... after a series of game overs and 4-6hrs of gameplay per day in months, it all ended into nothing with a wink of an eye... sooo damn sad huhuhu ;(..

[RealBlkShinigami]

why is working design's other game vanguard bandits a hell lot easier then this one...

[darkariser07]

voice of zophar in jep version is cool especially his laugh

[thor007usa21]

what a nostalgia i really do miss this game :'(

[Gokan1690]

DUDE LOL HAHAHAHHAHAHAH took me 15 minutes and i was lvl 51 XD

[MercenaryTidus]

This boss is a f*king pain in the ass. BUT THATS WHAT IS SO GREAT ABOUT LUNAR!

[Gemquist]

one word...

epic.

What happened to rpgs that actually had difficulty? I miss my 1/2 hour+ boss battles. :(

[ChibiKeba]

Same here, people have it real easy nowadays. When the remake for FFIII for the DS came out people complained about the fact that you can't save inside the dungeons. Back in the day you rarely found a game where you could save inside a dungeon. I guess people just don't like to be challenged anymore =/

[chrisneed]

I like Zophar's English voice better for some reason. In Japanese, he sounds like an old man instead of almighty god of Darkness.

[Griffinluna89]

It was better on Ps1, because they found the appropriot medium of deficulty. on Sega CD it is just nuts. that is irrationally hard.

[VirgilMaro]

Not really... I've beat it several times... I never thought it was that difficult of a game.

[Boyce18]

OmniZophar's fight has imo the single BEST battle song ever made!

[Puunyamya]

Haha you are so right. It's just so epic. XD

[Silvernix]

YOU DAMN SKIPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ChibiKeba]

Awesome! And here I thought I was the only person who says that anymore XP

[lunarnut]

This was one of the greatest games ever made. People who played the PSX version who claimed it was easy... try fighting Borgan on the Sega CD one... many a controller was thrown during that battle. Omni-Zophar music = <3

[Silvernix]

Lol, you are so right. When I played the PSX version, it seemed like Borgan was easier. I remember him being ALOT harder on SCD

[lunarnut]

He was. In the Sega CD version you had to destroy one of those orbs before you could attack Borgan. That's not the big reason he was a pain in the ass though.. that damn Gravity Bomb spell (plus if he did it as his first cheap shot attack, game over...) GAH

[Basetrem]

white dragon protect makes zophar a peice of piss

[MidnaFanDDD17]

Zophar looks like a woman

[POLE7645]

If you want to know how to keep your video from being out of synch, I can tell you how. You just need to do some tweaking with VirtualDub. Send me a message if you want.

By the way, I really love your videos. I just started playing Lunar and I like to hear how the character sounds in japanese. Thank you very much.

[inuBaneko]

hahaha, i'm level 99 here so i beated him forjust 1 hour.. wee.. my favorite game ever..

[ShadowZ1177]

Dude U don't have to lie.....everybody know U not at lvl 99. The monsters U fight doesn't give U enough exp to do that... and if takes U hour to beat him at 99 dude U suck......U should quit games and discover something else in your sad life.

[ShadowZ1177]

Ummm wow get a life? Thats the best U got son. How the hell im a quitter if I beat the boss at lvl 60.Man do some reseach before U open your mouth. I guess U need a LIFE if U have to reply to me...Do yourself a favor get out the basement and do a pushup once in your life maybe the girls might like U more..and the name RPGFAN sounds like U been a loser in life for a long time.

[KyKiske101]

...One of the best RPGs ever. This game made you fight for that ending....its not everyday you get a last boss the was THIS hard to beat....

[BrodeurIsBetter]

The greatest final battle theme of all time, Omni Zophar.

[ifhayl]

gahhh it took me about 2 hours to finish this battle!!

[FakeAlthena]

Also note its a good and bad thing to destroy Zophars hands...as the battle progresses and you destroy most all of his arms he goes into an even angrier spat (notice his eyes grow wider and looks more gruesom) and he starts to cast the move that instant kills (999 damage) consistently which is no good at all. He can do it 2-4 times before your partys turn is even up!

[lanturn]

Ahh good boss... I did this when I was level 50something.. and all I did during the first little phase was nonstop Triple Swording and it killed one of the hands before the actual battle started.. it was pretty awsome :D Thats what made me actually win the battle.. (good tip hehe)

[wowproph3t]

lol when i fought zophar i had 3 healing items and 5 blue lights i was lvl 70 and it still took me 15 mins i got sick so i took out the left upper hand and the right lower then just whent strait for the head i bout did 40 times and did die 6 times tell i finally beat him but the last boss is not zophar its nail in the epologe..

[FakeAlthena]

3. Hiro lacks Dark Sword and replaced it with some other weak move in the ps/saturn version. Dark Sword was Hiros strongest move and hit everything on the screen for 999 damage easy (at the cost of alot mp of course) they took this out.

Those are just a few of the changes but yeah Lunar is unlike any rpg out there even to this date. Its sad that working designs fell off and there will be no lunar 3. The handheld predesessors are quite a dissapointment.

[a012345]

I thought working designs were merely the translators and producers for the US version. They did a good job translating. Game Arts I thought was the original company that made it in Japan.

[FakeAlthena]

1. The music is slightly different in certain areas. Like for one when you fight Zophars 1st form in the ps1 version you get the typical boss theme instead of Zophars theme. Dungeon theme is longer in the cd version and they took out music from the cd version.

2. There are no Dopppleganger in the ps1/saturn version which was dissapointing because they made for a good fight.

[FakeAlthena]

Zophar is undoubtably one of the hardest rpg bosses of all time. This guy had a stack supply of items but try and fight Zophar with little item help say (5 silvers 5 blue0 and limited health replenish and he'll have you pulling your hair out if you have any hehe.

There are alot of differences from the Sega CD version to the Saturn/PS1 one.

[thechilliness]

jasm 4 destiny, i am going to tell you the 2 keys to successfully mastering eternal blue complete. #1 save all star lights from the jump, use only althena statues for mp until you get to zophar, forget the time it takes to go back to one, it will only make you stronger, it is given to you from the start, #2 is fight everyone and never run.

[eisa1987]

This game is real classic, i played it on ps1, and the last stage was the hardest one.

[tanukiishere]

I don't know about you guys, but I always laughed if I lost after their whole "power of humanity bit". Why no buffs during the defending sequence? Can you not keep them or something? Still pretty awesome game and vid. Nice work.

[jasm4destiny]

MAn cant even finish this game for 5 years i gotta go finish it right know if my memory card is still working!!!!!

[ifhayl]

wow anyway my mom and me and my sisters love all lunar games (including sega cd) and my mom was the first to finish the game.. embarrassing huh?

[BrodeurIsBetter]

Classic game.

[Silvernix]

ahhhhhh! -Zophar. Remember how the bosses BEFORE the FINAL boss was stronger and more challenging...yeah... thiis wasn't it. It might be the first game that wasn't.

[Jaymonius]

Man, this boss took me at least 30 to 40 minutes to beats... have the time I was freakin' out goin' OMFG, I BEAT AN ARM, AND I'M ACTUALLY TURNIN' THE TIDES, OMFG... and I was like GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

[AitoKakena]

ahahah, i know i know!! Though I had a HUGE problem!! In the middle of the battle, my dad came home and kick me off the game, so i had to pause and wait... FOR 2DAYS! then when i finally get to play, my cat knock the cord out of the machine!!! i cried so much...

[magnuscaligula]

your father must hate u

[lordartzi]

Legendary. Though i've played the originl USA version. But the awesome theme is the same and the game looks pretty much the same here. smoother graphics.

[ShiningSneasel]

Man this is my most hated boss of pretty much any game, so I hope I can get this game soon so I can beat him/her/it.

[Yeouhsing]

hehe I think for the first boring part of it, just put on defend, zophar doesn't hit that hard in his supposibly god like form hehe

[chrispartyka]

i love tense final boss battles with peaceful music..it makes the situation seem so much more dire

[enjime]

Love this music, hate this fight.

[Benjimar]

Ah i love this game! ^^

But why you didn't destroy Zophar's arms? This make the fight much easier!

[DigiHatesMakingNames]

yea but I 've also read that it makes the battle go a bit longer which I wasn't too happy about so I went straight for the head!

[Dasten]

well, actually id say it's about the same due to the attacking animations of the arms Vs. Hiro spamming Trpile Sword. Also why didnt you spread your characters out a bit? i know you can in this battle, okay, only by a bit in this map, but at least they wont all get raped by zone area spells! ah well, to each his own eh?

[Toneman]

Man, I am definitely diggin' that Zophar sprite! 25 minutes is ridiculous for a boss battle! Good job, how much meager knowledge of Japanese got you through this? I'm now being reminded of a over a few years ago playing through SFC Final Fantasy V before FF Anthology came out

[DigiHatesMakingNames]

it gets a bit tricky especially mixing the crests. but I also played this once when I had the working designs psone special version that came with 5 discs, lucia pendant and hardback booklet but playing that on ps2.. well I dunno if it was the ps2's inability to emulate some psone games but Lunar 2 had slowdown and the music .. wasn't too my liking...

But theres' quite a few game guides for this that helps
