Lunar thread.

[Anonymous No.6718271]

Thank you, /vr/, for showing this to me. What a beautiful journey that was!

Lighthearted and absolutely charming generic fantasy adventure is just what I needed.
No character choosing, no complicated builds, only basic equip and items. Not even status-effect spamming!
And it even played itself! The only time my attention was necessary is for final battle.

There was a port of PSX translation to Saturn version, and if you have at least 200 /a/ titles under your hood you will understand all dialogue and FMV in this game. Voiced lines and FMV don't have subtitles.

Grandia is better

[Anonymous No.6718297]

Fact. This is not a Grandia thread.

Why have we never gotten any more Millenia anons?

[Anonymous No.6718306]

>>6718293
That one I heard good things about. That's why I never played it to this day.
And it's also an RPG with ported translation from PSX. I guess, my Saturn is porting machine (even tho those games actually were first out on Saturn).

Well, maybe yes, but didn't really bother me.
I could see plenty of silly cliche japanese humor and that was enough.
It's still a story from japanese writers, no amount of american references can spoil it.

Better voice acting than the PS1 version
Better graphics than the ps1 version
Better music than the ps1 version
Better translation
Better gameplay than the ps1 version
Difficulty is the same as the Japanese instead of the bullshit they added in the American ps1

I was playing Saturn version with original difficulty and soulful japanese cast. Alex was voiced by Amuro, isn't that great?

My parents spent $70 or whatever buying this embarrassing overrated weeb trash for me one Christmas. Cloth map and all. Seemed like a step down from surface level SNES RPG classics, honestly.

>You mean piss easy?
Apparently.
Outside of Atk-buff on first turn I never needed to take control in boss-fights, and trash-battles were easily winnable with 0 mp and just auto-attacks.

[Anonymous No.6720840]

i think the ps1 version had an increase in difficulty for the bosses. they would scale to your level. did the saturn do this?

Where did I fuck up? The whole game was easy-peasy but the final boss murdered me in seconds.

[Anonymous No.6721521]

>>6721070
It was the only hard fight in entire game.
I hope you have many items left for this fight, especially mp5. I needed 2 max mp5 items for Jessy for entire fight.
There's no status-effects, so no immun-trinkets.
Max out Magic Def on all characters through trinkets, Nash and Mia don't take much damage in the first place, so you can priories others.
Move everyone except Jess to the corners, because she can't stop healing.
Don't drop anyone below 200hp, if below 100 then waste a turn on defense.
Have Mia to buff Atk to Alex and Kyle.
Don't buff Def, it's for physical anyway.
I was lvl52 or lvl53.

first one is just as good, 2 is decent, and the rest are terrible save for the gameplay.
lunar is similar in that both 1 and 2 are great while the ds game is the worst pile of shit.

Except it was re-written by americans and completely butchered. They also changed all the gameplay and mechanics.

It was. And it wasn't the only one.
And no actual damage was done.

the gameplay/mechanics weren't all that different. the story was generally the same. honestly working designs did a better job than most of the armchair critiques on this forum could do. but most of them were swimming around in their dad's nutsack when lunar came out.
