Im not gonna read through the whole freview, but i do think you are being to loe on the score
I played the original
Lunar was a game that was legendary at its time, it was realeased in the west when JRPG renaissance hadnt started yet.
LUnar is definitely a classic type game in line with the original FFs and shouldnt be judged like a new age JRPG
but your complaints are most warranted
The Music is dreadful..happy tunes evrywhere regardless of situation( even final boss theme is happy)
the chracters and art design sucks..even for a classic style JRPG
The story is again predictable and again unlike you i found no interesting plot twist
all the other deisgn choices are annoying but that was normal at time ( back tracking, chest traps, NPC advance)
lunar is a game that was great for being dufferent at the time..and thats where its fame comes from
I give it a C or a 7
