Back in our day video game dungeons were a bunch of bullshit. Hiding the way through Dragon Master Zoc's cave in the first game by placing the doorway in bottom wall you can't see through under a loving chest in a room that looks no different from any other room in that godforsaken dungeon was goddamn evil.

I'd forgotten about that until you brought it up. I was convinced I'd forgotten something on the mainland, so I went back and got that inane *splish-splash* FMV boat scene. Then I'd go back to the island *splish-splash*. Evil.

This game ranks a close 2nd to the original on Sega CD for me. Your LP is kicking rear end, Crowetron.

Wow, this game does a fantastic job of making you hate Borgan. Now I just want to see Jean blow past his magic due to moving so fast and just punch a hole in him, Chosen One-style.

When I first played this game I was hoping for something like this:

I never had a problem with the Lucia/Hiro nude scenes. They demonstrate Lucia's development as a character. I always thought of Lucia as being born full-grown like Greek Gods and Goddesses; born an adult and not knowing the things you learn as a child.

No one cares.



Here, let's talk about this instead.

Yes, let's. Where does this come from? I'm now picturing Ronfar singing "Beth".

Since Lucia came from the Blue Star and was in some sort of suspended animation, does that mean that everyone that once lived on the Blue Star talked/emoted/interacted with others the way she does? I don't expect an answer, I just like thinking about a planet full of Lucias. No wonder it didn't work out.

Just going by the intro the place looked kinda dead to me, so I figured she's either a survivor who's been raised by computers or some kind of artificial being.

It's dead because Althena destroyed the previous civilization so that the Blue Star would be recreated and habitable. Basically, Nuke it from Orbit.

I always had Lucia pegged as Althena's backup plan in case something like the events of LSSC happened and the Goddess was absent but needed. She's like a lesser deity; not strong enough to go against Althena, yet she's powerful enough to use Althena's magic and command the dragons (well, she didn't hesitate to attempt to use God-tier magic at the base of the Blue Spire and she seemed very surprised when her spell shat the bed). It's probably hard to develop social skills when people find out you can make dragons do stuff and also kill everyone for The Greater Good.


Before the Goddess gave up her powers, Lucia was probably strong enough to make Magic Emperor Ghaleon eat those loving pixies. Just sayin'.

If WD did Lunar 1 & 2 in this day and age, I'd like to think a lot of the humorous character asides and NPC's would sound more like what Crowetron is writing.

Excuse me, but floor-based pentagrams are involved, so it must be:

This is whole thread is only now moving on to Disc 2? Holy Jumpin' loving Jesus, no wonder people start but don't finish LP's of these games. You're a better man than I, Crowetron.

For all the Lunar 1 remakes, the Sega CD version still has the best soundtrack of all of them and is one of my favorite game soundtracks of all time.

This kinda threw me for a loop when I first played. Because so far, everyone has been more or less a copy from someone from the original.

Nash = Jean, the speedy character with an OK offense whose your main status-

Nash was always useless, in the original and remakes (for being a game set in a magical world, Lunar doesn't have interesting magic characters).

I haven't played this game in years but I remember Jean breaking her foot off in half of the assess of the population of Lunar.

I'm glad you've decided to start updating again, Crowetron. Don't leave us with Eternal Blue Balls (sorry), go all the way through the Epilogue!

Please make time for this LP in your life. Whenever I close my eyes, I see the Brogan Bromide. Can't you think of me for once?
