Lunar Silver Star Harmony Thread - GS review 8, the definitive Lunar experience!

My Impressions:

Well, I somehow managed to pick this up today and it's totally worth it and a awesome treat for JRPG fans and PSP owners who love RPGs!

First of all, the graphics, visuals, art, sound, music, everything is so polished and awesome. The animation is so smooth and seeing the sprites in motion are mind-blowingly good! I thought Crimson Gem Saga had pretty sprite designs and animation but this blows that away by a hundred miles!

There's also voice-acting, which is good enough, and really cool anime cut-scenes that round out the story.

Did I mention the music and audio is top-notch? Well, it is!

I never played the original Lunar so I'm stoked about this! Once in awhile the PSP gets these must-have games that whether you like handhelds or not, they are worth getting! This is one of those games!

PSP owners and RPG fans can rejoice since probably the best JRPG since Crisis Core is coming out this week!

Lunar's debut had a bold personality that has successfully shined through in past remakes. Fans can be assured this tradition continues on strong in this refined and tightly honed PSP revival of the ****c. Not only is everything that made the original adventure such an enthralling journey to begin with still intact, but it's also substantially amplified and improved upon through all of the new changes found in this definitive remake. Lunar: Silver Star Harmony works well on many levels. As such, it's a real treat for your RPG sweet tooth.

There are two versions, Limited and regular.

The Limited $39.99

• Comes with sountrack
• Trading cards of the girls of Lunar

Regular $29.99

I say just get the regular. $10 more for a sountrack and trading cards isn't worth it, IMO.

I've got mine pre-ordered! Comes out this week!

Looks awesome!

I'm very glad the port was faithful. I've been wanting to get into the Lunar series for some time, especially because of the great music.

I wonder if that battle with Dyne, Ghaleon, Master Mel, and Lemia is playable. I remember first seeing Ghaleon's attacks. It was awesome. I wish he were playable, but I think it's fair; like Sephiroth in Cloud's memories.

I think I'll pass on this and just buy the next remake for the next handheld systems. :P

(I'm very interested in this game)

Crisis Core is among the best JRPGs on the PSP? When did this happen?

Anyways, this looks alright. The look of it though is a bit too JRPG old school cliche for my taste.

Maybe I played the wrong Crisis Core for the PSP but I am pretty sure it is not a JRPG other than the fact that it is from Japan. Maybe I am wrong in this?

It IS more of an action RPG than a traditional one. Still I think it CAN be considered a JRPG.

Back to topic though - Lunar for the PSP is looking great. I haven't played it since I went through the AWESOME PS1 collectors set all those years ago and I loved it then.

I may actually pick this one up - though I still haven't finished most of my PSP games at all.

Yeah, I don't dig the looks either.

I hope they do Eternal Blue. I haven't played that one.

I'm glad it has been re-released, I have never seen a single copy of the PS versions (not that I am actively looking though).

Sad Story. Played it. A couple months later saw this kid reading a game magazine about it and it was talking about the Epilogue...which at the time I didn't know existed. I go back to load up my old save, and that damn RAMcart they had for SCD...if a save is dormant for a month or so, it loses the data. So I never got to play the real ending, which is supposed to be an additional six hours or so. Didn't feel like replaying the whole game.

Still, I didn't like what I played as much Silver Star. This game pretty much got me into JRPGs in the first place. I'm very much looking forward to picking this one up, even if I already have a Lunar remake sitting around here somewhere (and the original in a box somewhere). It'd be nice if I could pick it up at Midnight when Bad Company launches, but I'm guessing no.

The battle load times seem to be a bit... long to me. However everything else about it looks just great, and the fact that it's a handheld game means it'll really be awesome. PSP gets another enjoyable RPG in quite a while (a year I think?)

Persona came out late last year.

I just bought the game now. I caved in. Well I won't be playing it for a few hours since my PSP has been charged in months. I think I should go charge that sucker right now.

Which is exactly what I did when I got this game! :lol:

Damn, it's been awhile since I played my PSP as well!

Yup. The last time I played it was for Dissidia and I personally didn't enjoy the game. So my PSP has been in storage ever since.

Damn my PSP is all jacked up. There are superficial scratches on the thing, both on the screen and all around it everywhere else. My PSP looks like a wreck.

Nope. It's just been in storage since I moved. The funny thing is that I moved on the beginning of December and now that it's March, I'm now just getting my PSP out of the crates.

I'm liking the game so far. The simplistic battle system is actually nice for a change. Haven't played a tradition JRPG since Lost Odyssey and I loved that game to death. So I think I'll be playing this alongside FFXIII. I've been putting off playing my backlog catalog of RPG's in fear that I'll just stop playing them with FFXIII but I think Lunar will still be able to hold its weight.
