I don't know why no one said anything about this game, but if it's anything like the other Lunar games, it's going to rock your world. Okay, you can push "This review was not helpful to you" now...

Lunar Silver Star Story Complete Remake

For those of you who have played Lunar Silver Star Story Complete for the PS, you'll find that this game is very similar to it. The only difference is that the plot has been changed a bit, but it's basically the same story. The graphics are better and the battle system is a little different, but nothing too drastic. I'd recommend this game to anyone who has played Lunar Silver Star Story Complete and to anyone who is a die hard Lunar fan like I am.

Listen to me rave about this game!

Before I start, let me just say: This is the best RP I've ever played. If you are interested in why I like it so much, keep on reading. But if you don't want to hear me rave, you'd better leave now...

---THE STORY
The emphasis of Lunar Legend is the on story. It's kinda like being in a movie, or a choose-your-own-adventure. You get to move your character around, occasionally pick what to say. But the main point is seeing the story unfold below your eyes, and it's done wonderfully. Battles are easy, puzzles are few, and you don't even have to walk between towns, so it's not exactly a challenging game. There are about six main characters and they all have their own personality. By the end of the game you really know them. I mean, I could imagine what each character would do in any given situation. When they talk, you can see their faces, and their faces change expressions - really letting you know when their mad, or sad, or whatever. They each have their own story, their own reason for joining you on your quest. And the plot itself is huge. You travel back and forth on one mission then another across the whole world - but it never gets tedious because you do not actually have to walk from one area to another, and people will say different things everytime you visit an area. Overall, the story will keep you enthralled as you play out the game.

(No, I'm not going to actually recount the plot to you. Just play the game!)

---GAME MECHANICS
The controls of the game couldn't be simpler, and the graphics are good in my opinion. Your little sprite is really cute. The music is also good.
-BATTLES: The battles are turn-based and work very nicely; there's an auto which makes your party simply attack the enemies until they die, a strategy system which lets you set a skill or whatever, but then automatically chooses targets for you, and of course a manual control system. You can switch between them during battle. Every character has animations for each skill and each type of weapon. The battles are shown from the side, which there is nothing wrong with. The only complaint I have is that old enemies are often recolored to become new ones, which is a little cheap. However, it doesn't really affect the game.
-WEAPONS, ETC: One possible complaint is that there is no way to change people's class or anything, but I think it makes it simpler. You get to choose weapons, clothes and armor anyway, which is often complicated enough.

---GOLDEN SUN
A lot of people have compared Lunar Legend to Golden Sun, so I just have to put in my two cents about it, since I happen to own and have beaten both games. Except for the fact that they're both fantasy RPs, the two games are very different. I'm not going to put Golden Sun down now, but Lunar Legend is better on all accounts.

---TIPS
When you play the game, here are some things you'll want to know before its too late:
-When you're selling Ramus' dragon diamond, keep on saying no until the shopkeeper offers you a book.
-Before you fight the monster in the sewers (the last bridge is the one where the switch is pretty far off), unequip all of Ramus' items. This is a pain since it makes him useless in the fight, but he will leave you forever afterwards and you'll lose all the stuff
-Before you go into the White Dragon Shrine the second time, remove all of Luna's items (especially the heal ring, which you probably gave her but it would be a shame to lose), because she'll go missing and she wont come back until the end of the game.

-FINAL BOSS STRATEGY
Most battles will be easy, but this one will be very hard if you don't know the strategy, so I'll just quickly sum it up for you. The most important thing is to have Alex use his dragon attack to heal everybody almost every turn. It's the only way to keep your party alive. Make sure you have someone, like Jessica or Nash, give him mental drops.

Ok! That's the end of my raving! I was going to include a section on the different characters but it didn't fit in the 1000 word limit. Bleah. Anyway... Now go buy that game - I doubt you will regret it!

By the way, I'm a thirteen year-old girl, just so you know.

Great for GBA RPG enthusiasts & anime lovers!

Okay, "Golden Sun," it's not, but it's a great RPG, with a fairly in-depth story, nifty character sprites, awesome anime-style scenes, and some pretty decent gameplay. The only downside for hardcore RPG gamers is that the story is fairly linear--no wandering aimlessly and what little puzzles there are, are simple--I personally think they made it a little easier for the younger GBA owners, hence the ability to collect cards ("Yu-Gi-Oh," anyone?).

If you're looking for a great story, cool spells, neat monsters and nice graphics, then look no further. If you want "Golden Sun," go buy the sequel.

Excellent RPG

When I was new to RPG's, I wasn't really hooked onto them. Then I bought Lunar Legend for my Gameboy Advance SP and I was immidiately taken in by the amazing story! The story is about a young "country boy" named Alex who wants to become a Dragonmaster. On his quest to do so, he travels with Luna, a songstress who is his close friend, Nash, a young "sorceror" who is a bit snobbish. Jessica, daughter of one of the four heroes, her boyfriend Kyle, a rogue bandit, and Mia, heir to the magic guild. On the journey Luna is kidnapped by the Vile Tribe, along with other Songstresses. As Alex tries to quicken his quest to become a Dragon master so that he can save Luna.

The gameplay is fun and entertaining. The battles have several options to choose from, which include manual or automatic. I prefer the manual to improve stratigic skills. The towns are fun to explore, and keep you well equipped (so long as you have money of course, which you obtain from battles). And in all it has about 30 hours of gameplay. I strongly reccomend this game to any RPG fan, or to any new RPG fans.

The best RPG for the Game boy advance

You read the title of my review and you may ask "Has this idiot played golden sun?" And yes I have. Golden sun is great, I love this game even more. Enough of the golden sun banter, lets talk about lunar legend.If you havent heard yet, This game is a slightly condensed version of the PS1 classic "Lunar Silver Star Story" I, myself have not played it (yet, I got it off on ebay a while ago and i wait in eager anticipation) so the only thing Im sure that they changed was the battle system. The game is transilated by Ubi-Soft not Working Designs so expect a much more faithfull, But less hillarious, transilation of the japanese diolouge. Now on to the game itself. The stoy is about a young boy named alex who dreams of being a dragonmaster like his hero, Dyne. When an eleite wizzard from the magic city of Vane arrives in his home town his dreams come true when he is asked to guide him. He, his freind Ramus, his sweetheart luna, and The wizzard Nash set of to the white dragon to start the quest to become a dragon master. I admit it starts out kinda lame, but after a while there are great plot twists, romamces, and betrayals that come upon our young hero alex. The battle system is nice. It is a normal turn based engine. The person with the highest speed goes first than it goes from there. A nice addition to the battles was a type of "Limit Break" meter(FFVII & FFVIII fans know what I am talking about)the only diffference is that instead of fillin up the meter by getting damaged, up you fill it up by attaking. The battles are random which is changed form the original. You used to be able to see the enemy and if youwanted to fight it, go for it. If you didint, RUN AWAY! The graphics have to be some of the best on the game boy advance. Especially in battles. The characters are very detailed and the spell effects are awsome. The animations are also very smoothe and great too look at. And the little anime style picture that comes on the screen when you do a "limit break" is awesome. My only beef with this game is that near the end the battles get repetitive and there are only 2 really difficult bosses in the game. One is very near to the biggining, the oter is (supprisingly) the final boss. But these are minor flaws that can be overlooked. If you want a pretty GBA game that delivers in graphics and story this is the one

A beam of light flutters down from the blue planet shining in the sky A gentle light like that of spring sunlight. Soon... green is born on the planet that had been covered in a desolate dead land. It was unmistakably the beginning of life. The cold dry wind became a gentle breeze. The dry land became moist. The goddess Althena, goddess of kindness, breathed life into this world of Lunar, and led the people. Blessed by Althena, the people lived a peaceful life by magic The people soon began worshipping Althena as a god and praying to her. The one who left his name in the people's souls. The one who lived protecting a small happiness with his name known to no one. Even on journeys of different ways, people live out their days the best they can. And day by day, a new story is carved into the history of the world. The story I shall tell tonight is one of these... Far away, in the time of eternity, now only the goddess tower knows the truth. a story of long ago..................
I loved Lunar legend mostly because it is a great story and I really love dragons so Nall was my favorite character but Lunar legend had 3 characters that were really funny Bandit Kyle, Jessica, and Nall!

I'm speechless. I mean, the most enjoyable RPG and possibly most under-rated videogame of all time makes it's compacted appearence on the Gameboy Advance. I just bought this cart today, so I really can't write an objective review, but so far it's been sheer bliss. I own both versions of each Lunar for the PSX, but my PSX is now broken and the games have become more of my own personal collecting fancy. I've missed the sounds, the dialog, the personality of Lunar... And the GBA version does a awesome job of maintaining that original feel. Though, a HUGE chunk of the gameplay has been altered from it's original state for the port, the feel remains the same. If you've played Lunar: SSS and are looking for a shining blue traveling universe, look no further then Lunar Legend.

Only for real hard-core players!

This game was a really cool game! Sure, the storyline lost part of it's charm, but for the first Lunar Legend game I've played, it's the best! I'm telling you, for a person who doesn't fall for guys easily, it made me think when I played this game. The emotional relationships were fantastic and it was a big scream!

The graphics made it all the better. I was going on a trip to visit my cousins, and man, I couldn't let go of my GBA! I went everywhere with it! Really, it's classic, it's RPG; it's LUNAR LEGEND.

Lunar legend soon to be classic
