Hey guys! Man, Lunar The Silver Star is one of those "heart" games and I'm so glad I finally got around to talking about its impact on My Retro Life! Anyone else have a great story or memories of this game / franchise? Thanks for being here. Also, big thanks to Sword of Convalleria for sponsoring today. Definitely check out the game here -----> tap.io/WZnoEAe Until next time have a great week!
It looks like a good game
No, thank you, I don't play Gachas.
i cry anytime i beat final fantasy X. that ending cutscene is just *CHEFS KISS*
There was also a sequel that also came out for the ps1 . Played that one yet? Anyway the re-release of Lunar for the ps1 was one of the best rpgs I ever played after Chrono Trigger for the snes.
Prior to watching, I was planning on playing either Suikoden 2 or Phantasy Star IV as my next RPG. I might have to rethink this and pick Lunar.
Every time I click on one of your videos Tyler, it's as if were going back in time.
I was about to comment but I couldn’t say it better than this!
That's because we are going back in time
Let’s hear it for Working Designs. They were true fans of gaming and anime and they brought us so many treasures we would have otherwise never gotten. I am so grateful for having lived through those times.
I remember picking this up at a pawn shop for 19 bucks. Totally complete. Except one disc was broken. So I emailed Working Designs and asked if I could get a replacement disc. They replied back and said 10 bucks!
Lunar was something different and wonderful in my life.
What year was that ?
I bought this game as a kid right when it came out, the battle music has been stuck in my head since. I loved the cloth map the game came with. Good times
This channel is beginning to hurt me from nostalgia and wanting to go back in time. I absolutely loved this game. I seriously probably put like 400 hours on this game. Loved the music, the cinematic experience, the combat and the story my God I can go on and on. This and the 2nd game just blew me away back in my early teenage days. I wish they would remaster this game for like switch or something.
Tyler I've told you before but your childhood was the same as mine. But instead of dad it was mom. She would buy me games ff7 lunar etc. And played them with me. I was born in December 1986. When we got this one it changed my life. We would have been good friends back then. Unfortunately mom passed away and now these games shed tears. Never forgotten always remembered.
I’m so sorry for your loss man. Seems we share a lot in common. Thanks for commenting
I was born in 1987. My mother passed away when I was 12. She bought me lots of great games, I also have similar childhood to you both! I finally beat this game 2 years ago. I also cried when completing it. So many memories.
I'm around your age and had a similar story about actually getting the game. My mom took my sister and I to Toys R' Us to pick up a gift for her friend's kid. While there my sister and I ran off to the video game section and there we saw Lunar. The big box caught both of our eyes and since we had only recently been getting into RPG's, we knew we had to have it. We pleaded with our mom to get it for us but she said she didn't have enough money on her. We knew that if we left the store we would not return, so we told her we could wait there while she goes to the bank, and to this day I have NO FREAKING clue how we pulled it off but she agreed. We waited there starring at that shiny box until she came back and bought it for us.
My sister and I played the hell out of that game together. Months later an aunt in another state asked my mom if my sister could move in with her for a little while to help her take care of her kids. I remember so vividly how I cried thinking about my sister, and the music from this game reminded me so much of her. When I heard the music play in your video it took me right back to that time and made me tear up again from that memory.
Such a good game! Thank you for sharing more memories with us!
You'd better be nice to your mom. I don't think I ever got my parents to GO TO THE BANK to get money ON THE SPOT to buy something for me.... geez.
I could get my parents to buy something on the spot if I paid them back when we got home, since I didn't often bring lots of money with me. They encouraged me not to. But for them to just buy me a game was almost exclusively a birthday/Christmas thing. I can think of one time where my parents let me pick out a new Gameboy game for a long car trip... I grabbed Final Fantasy Legend II for that.
Anyway, you have a very nice mom.
@@anonamatron Agreed! My mom and I have an amazing and positive relationship, and I do anything she needs or wants me to do for her now, so no worries there.
Yeah this was definitely a one time thing, and after remembering the story I went and asked her if she remembers it and she said she doesn't and has no idea why she did that either, lol.
We were poor at the time. Our dad was not in the picture so my mom had to raise me and my siblings on her own. Being the oldest, I was normally the one who took care of my two siblings and a cousin who we took in because his mom passed away. Mom was ALWAYS working, she sacrificed so much for us, and I have never doubted that I had the best mom I could have ever hoped for. I think mom did that for us because she knew video games were important to us, and quite possibly the thing that was keeping us home safely, rather than out on the street and on drugs like how some of my family ended up.
Whatever it was, trust me, i am very aware that what she did was WAY too much, and that I was extremely fortunate and spoiled by what she did for us. I just wanted to give a little background because I don't want to give the impression that this was common and that we were ungrateful or anything.
@@PK_Dispel Your mom sounds so awesome. I remember my mom leaving me to get my hair cut and heading next door to EB games to preorder the PSP release of Lunar silver star harmony. But it wouldn't be an all the time thing. Only on specific game releases that we knew would be hard to find if we didn't pre-order it or birthday/christmas.
Lunar is the only game were I felt the battle system was like a dance… I had to dance a specific dance and not miss any step or I was defeated. Great game.
That’s a very accurate description of mmorpg gameplay too
I remember convincing my mom to get this for me as a kid. I never really played an rpg before it. I struggled so bad playing it because I never knew to equipped weapons. I could beat that ship boss so I went and spent HOURS leveling up to like level 20. I finally beat it with fists. Got to the dragon in the sewers and realized you could finally equipped weapons haha
Honestly, the most underrated channel I’ve seen on CZcams. You should collab with AVGN for a couple of episodes.
Thanks for that man
My aunt worked for this company and got me the game for free. It's what got me into RPGs. I thank her and the company!
Never stop making videos my guy! Good morning have a good day!
Luna was definitely my early video game character crush. I couldn't believe something like that can happen to me.
My number 1 all time favorite game. That cutscene with Alex and Luna at the end gets me every time in the waterworks. Same when I see the recorded history scene in Lunar 2 before Ghaleon appears. My Grandmother gave this game to me for Christmas of 1999 with Final Fantasy 8 and I was so happy and at the time I was 15 and no game has ever surpassed it since although Lunar 2 came close. It was definitely the right moment in time for me to play this when it came out. In the years since, I imported the Mpeg Saturn version, and picked up the OG on the Sega Cd. I really need to sit down and play those as well.
Thank you for this video, the music in it has touched my heart. I lost my mom yesterday and I’ve been passing some time alone coming to terms with everything and this just helped so much. Thank you Tyler
My cousin is a huge fan of this game, that he played the PS1 games and the GBA one named "Lunar Legend".
Dude, i was born in 90, my grandparents lived in richmond and every summer i would go see them and play nintendo/ps1,they would take me into sugarland to buy/rent video games at the mall & blockbuster. its crazy,now i live in richmond and found your channel. Man it brings back great memories of 90s gaming in the houston area,
You got a new subscriber for sure 👍 🎮
I haven't played Lunar yet, but I love how much you show your deep connection to it. Tales of Symphonia on the Gamecube also gave me that same love and appreciation you did for Lunar, and it's one that i'll never turn away from!
I need to finally play Tales of Symphonia! Thanks for commenting
Dude glad I caught this one early. Love your channel. My son and I relate to you and your dad so much. We really connected with the Zelda /divorce episode. Thanks for sharing everything!
I remember my father used to buy me video games once a month, in 1999 we went to a store in my city and I saw a lot of PS1 games, I didn't know what to choose and my father picked up Lunar Silver Star Story Complete and told me "this game looks interesting". I remember I was on winter break and I spent two weeks playing Lunar, the intro, the scene of Luna singing on the ship and the combat system, the art, everything was fantastic, until then I had only played one RPG, Mario RPG, but Lunar opened up a world of possibilities for me in RPGs (Xenogears for example). This game brings back beautiful memories of my childhood and my father's. Lunar 2 is also a very good game. Thanks for making me remember such beautiful moments.
Your time with the game sounds very similar to mine. Super Mario RPG was my first RPG also
This is my older brother's favourite game, i'm glad to see that others felt the same way. It really is one of my favourites too, it is such a perfect RPG, from the characters, to the story, and the music.
I'm 35 n played this as a kid on ps1. I remember staying up all night just engrossed in the world. One of the few games I really connected with as a kid. Amazing!
The itch is scratched thank you for the new video
I remember as a kid, a buddy of mine gave me his older cousin’s copy of Lunar 2 after he’d moved out. I didnt think anything of it since I’d thought I didn’t like turn-based RPGs.
I held onto it for years and years until one day after coming home from college, I finally decided to give it a proper chance.
Man did it deliver. One of my favorite games of all time, it singlehandedly got me into JRPGs.
I played this game a few months ago because I saw you recommend it in an earlier video. It was pretty good!
It's so good! Glad you enjoyed it
Lunar makes me think of my best friend Alex. His parents we're so strict that he wasn't allowed to play video games until he was 13 (He's a year younger than me), Lunar was his first game and he loved it. Fitting that the main character is named Alex.
Oh gosh a totally authentic PS1 intro captured on film during a time when it was still the only Sony console available, before PS2 THAT warmed my heart
I love that Dad captured that!
That's extremely cheesy... 😐
Like having footage of yourself turning on a Gameboy in 1990 and hearing that DING.
Lunar was one of those games that was on my radar for a while before I finally played it. So sad that I missed it while I was a kid, because this game would have changed my life. Even as an adult, it's a beautiful love story that brought me to tears.
Excellent coverage. I knew you had great taste in games!
Thanks! Yep it truly is a beautiful story
This is the first jrpg I ever played and completed on sega cd. I also had huge emotion in this game as a kid. I will always hold special place. It made me open to other jrpg and I would have never played ff7 without me being exposed to this one.
dude....me too!😭 ...back in the day i borrowed Lunar and Lunar 2 from this kid, in exchange he borrowed my N64 and all my games...never got that N64 back but at least i still have those rare gems in my collection
I've unfortunately never played this but I can compare the emotional effect you had with this game to the one I had with Lufia 2 Rise of the Sinistrals. The ending to that one had me emotional. It was the first turned based RPG I had played to completion back in 96. Great video man.
Id love to hear more about the driving force behind your dad recording so much, especially when cameras werent common. Usually you'd only record special events
Damn, I got goosebumps just hearing the music. Lunar was such a good game for its time. The music, voice acting, cut scene, combat, and story was just top tier. The music and story alone made this game a 10/10. For a 90's game, the story still holds up compare to a bunch of the new RPG coming out
I like the sponsor alot. The sponsor game also looks absolutely stunning. I played Lunar in 2008 on a emulator and it's a faint memory now. Watching this video brought me back to how I felt about it the music and story. Man I gotta replay this!
This is one of my favorites too! Lunar SSS for Sega CD was the first RPG that I really got into, so when the PlayStation version came out, I knew I had to get it. Later on, I bought the sequel too. Love them both! Thanks for sharing your memories.
Been waiting for a new drop! Always a start to a good day from one of my favorite channels! Your content is truly a gem, Tyler. I know I’ve considered buying Lunar 1&2 for the PlayStation, but it pretty much cost as much as a PS5 (Plus some accessories), and I’m not quite ready to spend that much for my PS1 collection at this time.
Good day.
Played this and Mother 3 back to back some years back. Tears were shed.
Discovered your channel today, now I’m binge watching. Love the content.
I wholeheartedly agree with your feelings and attachment to Lunar. I played the original Sega CD version and was hooked. I was in my mid teens and loved anime as I grew up on Robotech and many more mecha series. Lunar captivated me with it's visuals, imagination, songs, story, and characters. I beat the game twice on Sega CD, I never wanted it to end. I even put the game in a CD player and it played the music tracks, and I created a mix tape of the soundtrack from the game and played it in my car. When the Playstation version was released, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. As you said, the amount of details and added cinematics in the PS version really brought it to life that much more. Lunar is definitely one of those games that forever changed the way I looked at games. This is one of the most underrated titles out there, as many people have not heard of it.
Hi Tyler I have never actually experienced a storyline from a game with such emotion. Quite cool experience, great video.
I've got a friend who absolutely adored this game.
I saw this morning that you put this up, I didn't have time to watch the video until this evening but was thinking about this game all day. I had the original version of the game and beat it, but I sold it to my friend, and I regret that now, I'd love to still have it. I've played all (four, I think) versions of the game and beat them, they're all great in my opinion. I've got the PS1 version of the second game but haven't played it yet, I have the discs out with my PS3 and plan to play it soon. I guess it's been 30 years now since I played the original, maybe it's time to revisit this PS1 version again. And those songs, man, I'm glad this version came with a cd soundtrack so I can have them to listen to whenever.
Excellent video! the Berg theme from the original game and the theme "Field To Tomorrow" are my favorite tracks in the series!!
God I love this channel. I get to try out so many retro games that I never played because of you Tyler. Ty so much!
Thanks man! Happy to introduce them to you
I really appreciate your mix of original footage and the story behind your experiences with these games.
I’m your age exactly and this video is basically the exact same experience I had with this game as a kid. Love this keep up the great videos
one of my favorite RPGs on PS! fell in love with the cut scenes and the music definitely tugs you hear strings!
The SegaCD version was my introduction to JRPGs. Diehard Gamefan rated it so high that I had to try it and I’m so glad I did. This is my favorite RPG.
I really had very similar experience with Grandia... I just couldn't have enough of its story, characters and music... Awesome time to be alive
Truly was man
This video should have WAY more views! Great game and great video! Thanks for sharing!
Much appreciated!
Lunar Silver Star and Lunar Eternal Blue are two of the most underrated JRPGs of all time! I have both box sets for PS1 that I cherish as my collection. I wish the PSP version of the game would come to PS+ with better load times. It was a beautiful "remake" but the load times made it a chore. Noriyuki Iwadare's music in this series is simply magical! Listening to another person talk about their passion and experience with this game warms my heart. I still get goosebumps hearing Luna's melody played on the ocarina or her singing it with her "la la la's". Growing up my dad was a Zelda/Metroid guy or more so action RPGs like Faery Tales on Genesis so I too didn't have much experience with turn-based RPGs until I was teen when FF7 came out. To this day he won't play turn-based FF games. Only recently he finally tried FF16 and loved it because it was action based.
For me it was the GrandStream Saga and Final Fantasy VIII on the Playstation 1. The animations in GrandStream Saga was like watching a Studio Ghibli film. Ive heard of Lunar from other game collectors but I've never seen the game till now and i see why its so highly regarded. It looks like something truly special. Now I'm going to have to get a complete copy from ebay now. I don't care if i have to pay over 150 dollars for it. It belongs in my ps1 collection for sure now! Thanks Tyler for opening my eyes to another great RPG!
I remember getting Final Fantasy II on the SNES for Christmas and my dad would make fun of it because it looked like they were wagging their weapons at the enemies. He would say “Bad monster! Bad monster!!”
If you had an original PSX, you were an RPG gamer. SOOOOO many to choose from. Not like today.
Working designs was one of my favorite publishers of rpgs back in the day
Same!
I know it’s gonna be a good day when we get another video. Thank you 🙏🏻
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@MyRetroLifedefinitely did! I just recently got into RPGs around 2021 and anime last year so this is right up my alley! Gonna have to check this game out.
Such a great game that I sadly sold the boxed versions of both games years ago. I got the first one back though a couple years ago but only in separate jewel cases. The game, soundtrack, and behind the scenes footage.
I still miss Working Designs. Lunar was absolute magic! I remember spending that entire summer being engrossed..
I bought this game some 20 years ago with the guidebook. Your playing the music in this video made me grab it (one of the few games from that time or before that I still own) so I can finally rip the soundtrack CD that came with it (yes, my computer is that old and has an optical drive). Excellent for sure.
I remember getting very emotional for the first time playing a video game. It was Nier Automata ending E. Wow that game is very thought provoking and dark at times. It also in my opinion has the best OST ever made. Awesome video Tyler.
Star Ocean The Second Story is the only game that made me feel "emotionally wrecked". At least the one I can deeply remember, to me it was such a masterpiece that I wanted more after beating it.
When the Sega CD version came out, I was mainly playing RPG games on my computer and didn't have much interest in console RPGs. Didn't think they had the depth and maturity of the PC stuff. Found a copy in a used game bin at Blockbuster for $2. Yes 2 dollars. Disc only. Didn't have anything to lose so I bought it. So glad I did because it showed me that console RPGs could actually be awesome, and I've been hooked ever since. The original Lunar was the start of my obsession and I'll never forget it.
Did you ever play the hidden "break way" game on the making of disc? you get to choose a character play a version of the old atari game. Its so weird its on there. But i 100% agree with you!! Lunar is one of the most special games it was my big christmas gift the year it came out. Then when they released Lunar 2 in the same manor....FAVORITE ps1 rpgs even more than FFVII.
Yeah that mini game was fun! I had totally forgotten about that!
My little brother and I played through the original L:TSS on SEGA CD, and it was an amazing experience even then (L:EB was an excellent sequel) -- this PS remake is just so enhanced, it makes the SCD one look kind of drab (even the SCD EB was so much more colourful)! It's not just about the looks, though...as you said, the adventure and story are what it was all about! That SCD intro music was so different -- still quite good in its own way, even with the cringey bits! I'm so glad you gave the game another chance...your dad might've appreciated the cinematic elements and the writing if he had stuck with it!
This game was great. One of my favorites as well . Great review
The game looks incredible for its age. Beautiful looking game.
I have heard so many people on here talk about this game series, and specifically talk about Silver Star Story Complete, and Eternal Blue Complete. I love jrpgs, and specifically turn based RPGs but have never played any Lunar games. Thanks to your video, I will specifically try to get the PS1 versions (instead of the Sega CD ones). Great video Tyler, and love hearing you reminisce about games from your past!!!!
This is literally my favorite game of all time.
I still regret selling this game long ago. I really hope one day they bring it to Steam. Brings back so many memories.
I had both Lunar and Lunar II Box sets!! Did you ever play Lunar II?? I cant believe how few people knew of this game back in early 2000s 😢
I did have Lunar 2 also! Decided to stick to the first one for this video
I was shocked to hear you say 3x3 eyes. I love that anime and nobody seems to have seen or heard of it
Games that really emotionally touched me are:
1. Tale of two sons
2. The Cat Lady
3. Red Dead Redemption
And probably more games, that i haven't finished yet
Played it on Sega CD. The song still gives me a knot in my throat. An absolute classic.
I thought I was the only one who became emotionally involved with this game. This is the first, and only, video game, that I can remember tearing up over. I love what Working Designs did here. It's too bad that just about every other video game publisher who tried to follow suit only ended up saturating the market with garbage.
I loved the original on Sega CD and pored over screenshots for the Saturn version. It was one of the reasons I bought the system. After Working Designs and Sega had their falling out, I was happy to read that WD was going to bring over the PSX version. I preordered it as soon as I could, nabbing the demo disco and the Ghaleon punching puppet. I thought it was so cool that you could create a file save from the demo that could be transferred to the real game. Thankfully, I didn't encounter the glitch in the demo which would prevent you from beating the game! The memories I have attached to Lunar: SSSC are tender. It is so summer of '99 for me. It always brings back memories of the newfound sense of freedom that comes with graduating High School, the friends that I had back then, and the great times we had. I still have the game, the demo disc, the strategy guide, and the Ghaleon punching puppet!
It's such a shame that the game wasn't released in Europe. I can literally feel the joy playing the game as a kid😢
It’s funny, I vaguely remember trying a demo of this game at an Electronics Boutique when I was a kid - I didn’t own a ps1 so I knew it would probably be my only time playing it. For some reason the art and enjoyability left a lasting impression so when I came across the IOS version decades later I had to give it a try, and I wasn’t disappointed! If you are looking for an authentic way to play it, go for the IOS version. I only wish they would port Lunar 2 for IOS as well because I’ve heard it is just as good, if not better.
My favourite RPG. I really wish they would release this on modern consoles somehow.
Lunar SSS is what got me into RPG's. Watching my neighbor play got me invested in the story. after that I had to play it myself. Love the game so much that once I grew up and was able to afford buying my own games. I bought just about every version of the Game. remember my teenage years I gotten a Gameboy Micro and Lunar for the GBA. Beat it. even tho it wasn't the PS1 version. somehow my imagination was able to fill in those Blanks. also love the PSP version. was shocked how early in the game the spoiled stuff lol. still great version to play.
this game has been on my list for a while. As a UK gamer this one is hard to find at a good price. RPGs with love stories are my favourite (which is why FF8 is my favourite FF). i think it's time i splashed the cash to get a lunar
To be honest this is my first Lunar game but I finished Lunar 2 Eternal Blue first. When I was about to play this game again there's a huge turn of event in my life and my family because of greed and hatred that involve my relatives I was disowned by my family and kicked out of the house and I was only a child. This and Grandia 1 was the last game that I played on my PS1.
When you mentioned your first video game crush, I remembered mine…Ivy from Soul Calibur 2 😂😂😂
Yes finally Lunar. Barely anyone talks about this game. What an amazing story. Played it on Sega Cd and PS1.
I love this game so much. I still have my original copy at launch. Also found out there is a secret mini game in the making of disc. Full of surprises.
OMG i used to have this game ... and nobody knew about how cool it was. Shocked it didn't have a bigger following.
My number 1 rpg of all time it's timeless masterpiece.
This game was the only Rpg i loved more then the Final fantasy series. Part 2 was just ok.
There was a code on the making cd you typed in and it let you play a pinball like game.
I have been gaming since NES in 94, playing a bit of genesis on my friends house, and almost taste the SNES at my friend's friends house. But Playstation 1, is the one that trully define my taste of gaming until nowadays. NES and Genesis give my nostalgia, but PS1 are the legacy I brought til today. I don't care if it was japanese import, RPG, sports,Action adventure, platformer or racing,PS1 gave me taste of the best game in each of that genre all at one platform since my formative years and Im thankful for that.
Once again thanks for making these videos! It takes me back to a time where I didn't realized how far my parents would go to get things for us. I remembered asking if I can get a special Monopoly boardgame edition at Toy r Us. After a long day of work, my dad managed to go out of his way to a Toy r Us and picked one up. And I'm sure my mom had trouble finding a certain Power Ranger toy for my siblings. I can only imagine the confused look she had trying to sift through all the toys lol. Really grateful for them to this day! Cheers to our parents for going above and beyond for us!
My loyalty will always lie with the original Sega CD version since that's where most of my nostalgia for the game is from, but I can see some of the appeal of the PSX one.
The way I got it was cool because I was in a used game store checking out Sega CD games. They let you try them before you bought them to see if you like them. The girl working there just suddenly says "hey do you like RPGs?" "Yes!" and she pops Lunar in. I bought it pretty quickly. I was the envy of my friends because nobody had even heard of this game but here it was, a Final Fantasy/Phantasy Star/Dragon Warrior level RPG, with movies and voice acting and lots of amazing stuff, and I was the only one with the machine that could run it!
Since I didn't let anyone borrow my whole Sega CD I don't think my friends really ever got the full impact of this game, but man, they KNEW I had an awesome RPG that they didn't. I did take my Sega CD to other people's houses for sleepovers and stuff though. We did some Lunar possibly and definitely Vay that way.
I don't like the removal of random encounters. I don't get why people need to see the (mostly) unavoidable monsters, and it makes levelling up a little more annoying.
Storywise, I didn't like Luna jumping on the ship. Just changes too much of the vibe and intent of the original. The game is still pretty good, of course. but I guess I'm a bit of a purist.
The PSP one looked really cool, and the new "prequel" intro sequence is kind of cool to see, but they way over-simplified the game, even more than the PSX one did. Haven't even tried the GBA one. I don't know why they all need to simplify things instead of expanding them.
Also, it seems like Lunar 2 is always overlooked by everyone... don't miss that one, because in a lot of ways it's better than this one, though Lunar 1 is still the one that sticks with me.
Have you tried Sea of Stars? That’s an RPG game as well and the story to that game is incredible!! Haven’t finished it yet but the graphics are insane!
This was wonderful. I love the Sony PlayStation 1 and always saw Lunar but It never got to me back then. Back then those JRPG'S hit so good straight to the heart. 10:44 I hope we get a anime theme video one day that would be fun. 11:27 Nintendo and Final Fantasy 7 got me back then as I played those games It hit differently than other games around that time for me. Cool video. ^_^
oh man, this was my favorite ps1 jrpg, maybe even fave ps1 game
as a gamer around the same time, I am happy to see someone actually relates to me
🎵Tyler and Luna sittin’ in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G.! 🎵
The Boat Song changes boys into men, lol. If that's your original copy of Lunar on PS1, you really took great care of that thing!
All of Working Designs games were like this. I loved Cosmic Fantasy 2 as well. Say what you will about Victor Ireland, but this was a masterpiece and he was a true JRPG fan
Damn, I bought the special edition when I was a kid and remember playing the hell out of this.. wish I still had my copy
Played and finished my first Lunar via its remake/port on PS 1, then another remake the PSP, and then I tracked down the original Mega CD version... I loved them all.. in my opinion though, the opening song on the PS1 is memorable for me.. I actually hummed the song of Luna to my baby son when he was born
Edit: I did play Lunar 2: Eternal Blue on PS 2 and the DS Luna Legend prequel but was not able to finish then
Btw, any chance you played Legend Of Legaia (1999,2000) as well? It was the next JRPG I finished after Lunar
This game definitely seemed to be ahead of its time
