I was really surprised this game is considered a cult classic. It's pretty mid so far.
Does it get better?

Oh God I really hope SSS doesn’t disappoint me the way FFVI did.
>>
>32bit remake
>>
>>12774593
The Sega CD originals are the best versions to play.
>>
Dialogue aside, the PSX version is definitive. It just needs a fan translation project to remove WD's trash fanfiction.
>>
I was always bummed that the series died without a prequel or a distant future sequel (I think it got some shitty handheld game but that garbage doesn't count)

if they made one now it'd be too late, original writers are all dead so it'd just be slop from some faggot who probably hates video games and gamers
>>
>>12774593
it's pretty goddamn standard. not common as dirt like Dragon Quest, but not super far off.
if it's not your first JRPG, or if you're not an enjoyer of Japanese fantasy tropes, you probably won't be very taken with it.
>>
>>12774593
It has a terrible start. Also if you're an adult you missed your chance. You no longer have the developing brain to enjoy the plot structure to the fullest anymore. You might like it but you missed your chance to love it.
>>
>>12774608
Come on, bro. John Truitt was great as Ghaleon.
>>
>>12774593
No the whole series is kind of like Tales. Fun but very plain and generic. I fell for it too

Kek that's pretty funny and based
>>
>>12774593
It's one of those games that's better remembered because people really loved the story and characters more than for its combat.
>>
>>12774593
The meme translation is why people liked it and started to worship everything Vic Ireland shat out of his ass.
They get super booty blasted if you so much as even float around the idea of doing a re-translation. Even doing something as simple as changing the overall difficulty back to the original nip version and leaving the meme translation alone will still get you dogpiled.

>Even doing something as simple as changing the overall difficulty back to the original nip version
The difficulty is better in the Working Designs version.
>>
>>12775092
But that being said, there's no problem with people wanting to play the original, unaltered difficulty, or hacking the game to play it that way.

>>12774593
Yu-Gi-Oh?
>>
>>12774616
Why bother playing these games if you don't actually like them? No one is twisting your arm. It doesn't have to be some big dramatic thing where you've been personally betrayed just because a game that made someone else happy doesn't make you happy too. Just move on and play something else.
Also you should have played the Sega CD version. The PS1 remakes lost some of the charm.

>It just needs a fan translation project to remove WD's trash fanfiction.

go to spike forum and search up the game

The remakes are total garbage compared to the originals so you already fucked up on that level. Also this >>12775270

Are you not aware of Eternal Blue?
>>
>>12775831
I assume he means another step into the future after Eternal Blue, like how Phantasy Star does it. If not, yeah he needs to play Eternal Blue.

>Least deranged Sony fan
>>
>>12774593
Nah, this game is all style with very little substance. It's main appeal is coming in a cool box.
Like this game is mostly just early weebcore and if you're into that cool but I personally find it kinda trash and always did even back in the 90's bit for some people this was all the anime they could get I guess.
As you said it's mostly just mid, the game isn't bad it's just passable, a huge step down from even (insert your least favorite FF game here). I quite honestly barely remember the game except for the admittedly pretty cool cutscenes.
>>
I’ve been wanting to play Lunar for a long time (this song was featured on the first PS1 demo disc I ever owned and it’s burned into my memory).

https://youtu.be/5uPobOuLAMs

Are both the Sega CD and PS1 versions full of these anime FMVs?
>>
>>12776078
Sega CD has these limited animation type cutscenes, which are pretty cool.

>>12776094
Yeah those are kind of charming but I don’t think I’d rather play the Sega CD version if it doesn’t have the anime cutscenes.

do you not know what the word "series" means?
>>
>>12774593
Stop playing the Fisher-Price PS1 port, its watered-down trash. On Sega CD combat was actual tactical positioning, not generic auto-battle slop. The random encounters and dungeons actually pose a challenge. Get Silver Star and Eternal Blue for Sega CD.
>>
>>12775563
No, it's not. In fact, if you best these ports you didn't beat Lunar.
>>
>>12775563
>Segay CDog
Sega consoles are either sealions, "seadogs", seals, walruses or any combination of the aforementioned. Nice one anon.

It's just a fact. They were given the babbys first RPG treatment on PS1.
