/vr/ - Retro Games

Nobody should be recommending the SEGA CD version. If they are, that is the worst case of nostalgia goggles I've ever seen.
Everything about the PS1 is superior -with the exception- of the music, which as somebody mentioned, saw massive cuts due to loss rights etc.
So what to do? Youtube the amazing intro.

Then immediately go play the PS1 remake.

I'm going to go ahead and drag in a strawman, Lunar is -much, much better than Final Fantasy 6-, and being that the original was released 92/93, that makes it even more of a slap in the face. It took another 5-6 years after 6 to even attempt voice acting. Just...saiyan.

Lunar 2 however, is a different story.

As another anon mentioned, Lunar 2 on the PS eliminates random battles (which is never a bad thing), but I'd just say from a perspective of

Lunar 2 is more impressive than the playstation version.

Its a standalone game, but it has heavy, heavy spoilers, as characters show up again and it will spoil the ending to the first game.

If you're planning on buying, both are great and must have playstation RPGs. If you're emulating (or you actually own a SCD), don't neglect the 16bit original of Lunar 2: Eternal Blue. It really shows off the capabilities of the very neglected console.
