I'm a little late in reviews since I played its GBA remake Lunar Legend first. (I luckily got this game in trade from my local Game Express) Well anyway from the other reviews you know the basics
Music and Sound-5
This music rocks I especially like the final battle theme Go! Go! Go!
Graphics-4.5
Very nice (since being a Playstation game the areas can be more exspansive than the tiny GBA thus allowing anime cut-scenes and more free roaming through places, but the GBA is nothing to be scoffed at having better sprites and brighter colors)
Storyline-5
Very good stroyline (I'm kinda surprised since I usually hate love stories) The story is as soild as this game can get. And unlike SOME RPGs *coughfinalfatasycough* You won't get bored and say "Oh please" at a useless plot twist that just makes you lose intrest in the game.
Well now let's see if I can test my luck and find Lunar 2: Eteranl Blue (Or maybe, hopefully they'll just remake it for the GBA and call it Lunar Legend 2)
Coolest Charcter-Tempest
Fav Character- All of 'em especially Nash, Kyle Alex, Jessica and Tempest
Fav music fron game- "Go! Go! Go!", "Solitary Wolf", "Fighting Spirits", Magical Weapon Nash", "It's Me" "Modern Boy" and "Mia's theme" (forgot name)
A classic RPG

Lunar first started on the Sega CD but due to hardware restrictions they kept re-doing until they came across the Playstation which allows better graphics. Thanks to them, you can play a great rpg that sold so well, they stopped making them cause it was in such huge demand.
Keep something in mind: the graphics look old when you play so don't expect some mindblowing graphics...except for the animes which look glorious. Ones from simple animations like character intros to magnificent "plot points", the animation just flourishes.
Something that this game also has is a sense of humor thanks to great translation by Working Designs. There's even some pop culture references like when a boy asks Nall(a flying cat) is asked how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop to which he replies that that was an owl.
The soundtrack is great, not memorable but some great music. Wind's Nocturne(the boat song)is a great song with some great vocals by Jennifer Sigle(sp?)who also portrays some of the characters.
The game's about Alex, who wants to become like his hero, Dragonmaster Dyne, someone who can command the 4 dragons and protect the goddess Althena, the creator of Lunar. However, he soon finds himself against great enemies where he's gonna need a lot of courage and some help from some friends. Most of the plot twists you can see a mile away but it doesn't retract from the game.
Overall you should definately play this game(if you can find it). You won't be disappointed. Some of you won't like it but give it a chance. The game doesn't look mindblowing but it's got it where it counts: gameplay and characters.
It has it all!

Lunar is a great game. I mean, what would you do if your sweetheart was kidnapped by a guy who supposedly is Dragonmaster Dyne's best friend, or was, anyway. And what's a game without the cocky "Elite" Macho Mage, Nash, who will never forget to remind you who he is. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll enjoy the music.
Fantastic

This game was awsome. One of the best story lines in a long time. This game you have to beat before you can put it down. The story is about a kid named Alex who leaves to get a crystal from the White dragons cave and endes up on an adventure to become the dragon master. Becoming the dragon master has been his dream and dragon master dyne is his hero from an adventure a while back. On this game you meet many people some evil and others who join your party in your quest to become the dragon master and stop the Magic Empoer. This is relly a great game and I can't wait to ply the sequle. I love how they use Japanese anime to show the movies in the game. This is a must play. I recomend this for any rpg lover.
Best RPG of all time!!

This game... to put it simply... is a classic. It has all that great games have to offer; adventure, action, and love. It's true that the graphics aren't all that good. But the storyline completely makes up for that. The character development is one of the best characteristics of this game. And the storyline is pure genius. If you are a true RPG fan. This game is a must.
I LOVE THIS GAME!

This game deserves a 10 rating! Though it doesn't feature the best graphics available, it is the best RPG ever. The characters are so cool, and story line is outstanding! This game brought me into the world of RPGs with ease. It is easy to understand and get into, for those who are new to RPG's; but it's not easy. ;) I love this game so much that I play it over and over again, and I never get tired of it. As I said, this game is by far the best RPG ever made.
Great Classic RPG

I am an RPG maniac and my favorite types of RPG's are the classic type, because I really don't like the way RPG's today are going, the weird way to level up, how to use magic spells and most of all, online.
But this one was made way before that and it became one of my favorite RPG's. One of the best aspects of the game are the anime cut scenes, with voice acting and they are very well drawn. Even outside the cut scenes the whole game is well drawn, the enviroment, the characters. Even though the graphics are dated, you have to give it a break since when it was first released on the Sega CD in 1992, it was top of the line.
It does have the predictable story, you start out wishing how much you would like to go on adventures and of course that comes true but it devolops into something more....
If you love RPG's and you have a Sega CD or Playstation, this is the title for you.
Great for beginners and even pros

This was the first RPG I ever played and it got me hooked on them. The story is great and the battle system is easy to understand and operate. The videos were really cool, too. I strongly reccomend this to anyone who would like to get started playing RPG's. The only downfall, for me anyway, was the cheesy music.
A Very Good Game!

I thoroughly enjoyed this game! The packaging and extras you get with it are very nice. The storyline was extremely well written, and it was easy for me to connect with the characters on an emotional level. The music in this game is some of the best I have ever heard for an RPG. Definitely a good buy!
Great difficulty

This game is a reaLLY SWEET GAME BECAUSE ITS NOT LIKE OTHER RPGS MEANING: MOST RPGS SUCH AS FINAL FANTASY ARE IN-BATTLE, ATTACK, WIN, LOSE SITUATIONS WHERE ALL OR MOST NORMAL ENEMIES ARE PATHETIC. DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LIKE FINAL FANTASY. ITS JUST THAT THIS GAME HAS enemies that are just as good as the team if not better. And you can move around in the battlefield, kinda like Star ocean 2. This is why this is a great game.
