| Xxain said: 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

For the story, I found the part with Ghadelon and the white dragon interesting. I think that's pretty much the only twist I enjoyed. The twist involving finding Mia's mom was laughable; the character designs for the two moms are the same. I wouldn't mind the backtracking if battles were fun and avoidable.
I like old school RPGs, but only a few of them aged well...well for me anyways.
