Lunar Threads

Final Fantasy VII Just going through dating all characters you can really. XD That's dedication, I salute you. How many have you dated so far? I've only done Aeris so far, though if I even play FF7 a third time, I might do Tifa. They're kinda tied for my pairing with Cloud (Yuffie just annoys me, a...

L-l-lore! My favorite. Just as Ghaleon's being a member of the tribe appears nowhere in TSS or SSS themselves, the sympathetic look at the tribe also really only comes out in these non-game stories...aside from a throw-away scene in SSS where you help one of them during a cave collapse, and I guess...

@ Kizyr Interesting stuff, Leo's monologue in particular was a good read.

Finally finished my 3rd play-through of Final Fantasy VI. The ending still makes me tear up. My last playthrough years ago I overleveled, and almost everyone knew Ultima, and fighting Kefka was kind of a joke. This time I leveled just the right amount.

Forgot to post this earlier. The Alex and Luna from before and myself get an interview at 2:48.  For the record, TSS is still the best Lunar, but the Saturn is the overall better system.

Metal (in general and any of the 565 subgenres) isn't really my thing, but I don't dismiss any genre altogether, so there are often a few exceptions. Here's a couple that I found from an Indian metal group named Bloodywood. The first is an original with a really gorgeous music video (shot in the co...

Finished Slayers NEXT. That was one Deus ex Machina of an ending.

In honor of the Bohemian Rhapsody movie that just came out.

Hey, Shinto-Cetra, I realized I was snippier than I intended to be there, sorry. I still disagree regarding how the Vile Tribe is portrayed in TSS, and I especially disagree with using misc animes to make a point about an entirely unrelated game, but I was a bit brusque about it. I'm not offended b...

Eh, "demonic transformation ability" seems a lot more like a gameplay thing to me. Final boss, after all. And having camaraderie doesn't mean that the monsters are less monstrous. They're unambiguously evil in TSS, and the confinement is clearly because they did something to require it, n...

TSS: Ghaleon cause I love John Truitt's and Rokuro Naya's voice acting for him, even though he was over the top theatrically insane, he still had many redeeming qualities. Also Xenobia cause she legitimately wanted to help the Vile Tribe there; she's also a crush of mine. Plus they're both fabulous ...

The most literal translation of "Mazoku" is "magic race", it seems, but WD probably went with Vile Tribe because they were pretty unambiguously monsters/evil in TSS. The moral ambiguity about them didn't come up until later games. I really don't care for "Vile Tribe" f...

Vile Tribe is a translation of Mazoku. The Vile Tribe had multiple factions: 500 years before TSS, Xenobia's ancestors were banished to the frontier for trying to conquer Lunar (they are long lived so I guess it's *possible* Xenobia herself was the leader then too, but something tells me she wasn't ...

Yes but does it have Silver Star Story and Eternal Blue? https://www.polygon.com/platform/amp/2018/10/29/18037502/playstation-classic-game-list-final-metal-gear-grand-theft-auto-final-fantasy The results are in, and save for potential hacking in of more games, nope! Save for FF7 it's a pretty meh l...

Oh dear. I am extremely for your loss! Perhaps ebay has some doubles if you want to ever replay the games, although the memories and potentially save files cannot transfer sadly.

Coheed and Cambria's new album Heavenly Creatures as a whole is great btw.

https://www.poundtechnology.com/playstation2/ I'm more excited about this than the PS Classic mini honestly, cause my whole library and analog controllers will work. The slimline PS1/2 models were compact enough for me. I should mention that an external power supply is needed BUT it's a just a USB c...

Ghaleon was the last member of the Vane Mazoku/Vile Tribe, so he was never smuggled out of the frontier, he was born in Vane. This is gone into in the Vane Airship manga, but the Vane Mazoku were similar to the frontier Mazoku (casting magic without an incantation, some like Latona even had the geom...

Ironically requesting Desktop Site now takes me to this thread. Not sure if that helps, but I'm posting it in case it does.

Another thing: This has been discussed before, but Borgan and Lunn should not have been been forgiven in Lunar 2 considering how they owned slaves, and were basically saving their own hides. BUT Ghaleon, Xenobia and the Vile Tribe at large own human slaves in TSS, and they get killed by the party? T...
