LUNAR in a new way... all the way...
Now, to the game in focus, this last installment in the great series is very underrated, sure, it's very different and has some ingredients that can feel wierd or just stupid... if you're ignorant to the whole picture:
the courierthing is awsome and it feels like GameArts has sneaked on FFTA.... the missions is not to difficult to either understand or perform...
the thing about loosing HP while running, hey, rpg's has become to soft in the latest years, time for something annoying and "difficult"...
Gamespot said leangthy battles? did'nt they find the speedbutton? just push R if you want the characters to attack in ultraspeed... otherwise the battlesystem is great in my opinion, classic.
Graphically it's all simple and nice 2Ddesign ala oldschool (YES!!! after so long at last a good ol 2D rpg) and I have'nt been this happy about graphics in an rpg since I played Suikoden on my PSX *getting all dreamyeyed*
The Music is topnotch and you are totally reminded by the other LUNARgames and GRANDIAgames...
so, in short... don't listen to any of the reviews... get a hold on the game in any way you can (like, rent or borrow by a friend) try it out and get your own opinion... and maybe you will love it, like me...
