Lunar Threads

You could justify it by saying that Ingatius already was the existing Dragonmaster for that era, and since he definitely wasn't about to abandon that power a la Dyne, the Dragons couldn't just hand out a fresh set of Dragonmaster goodies to Jian (distinct lack of Dragon Armor, fugly-looking Dragon H...

Yes, it's time for advertising. Or maybe "desperate begging." I'm good at that, too. Anyway, I've begun a new Lunar story. Unlike my previous Lunar efforts ("Pirates of the Meribian," the Mia Ausa Fan Club stories, and a selection of short Leo fics--thanks, Alunissage, for rememb...

I suspect one reason why Americans, at least, often have issues with cricket is that we see a bat, a ball, and we expect it to be baseball. And we're always subconsciously drawing comparisons between it and baseball, which screws up our ability to learn the rules of cricket and appreciate the nuance...

With regard to Dragon Song, while I do admit that animation, cutscenes, voice acting, and so on would be nice, that is so far down on my list of gripes that I would never get to it. DS is one of only two games (Xenosaga II being the other) that I've started playing, actually been interested in the s...

Let's see here...four of these will be very easy, rounding out the list with a fifth not so much: 1(tie). Lunar: Eternal Blue (both versions) Eternal Blue is a brilliant game of traditional "high fantasy," with a likeable hero who says more than "..."; an interesting love story; ...

I've always been a subtitle man myself. Luckily, I read very fast, so I've never had any trouble following the subtitles and the action at the same time (though I can certainly understand how slower readers might have that problem--it's animation, after all, and if I'm missing what's actually happen...

Well...um...actually, yes, it does. Twisted tower in the upper right, "Threads of Darkness" label in the upper left, disco ball hanging from the ceiling, "YMCA" being piped in on the Pentagulia sound system...the whole works, really. CTRL-R is the only spell that can eliminate K...

Looks like it's crazy status for me, then (wait...White Dragon Protect has a duration? Bad enough it lasts for one hit only.). Ah well, as my wife often quotes, "I was normal once, but I didn't like it."

Now who's in charge? Chosen my arse, does this place look like it's being taken over by any madman disco drag-queen and his minions now? Well...um...actually, yes, it does. Twisted tower in the upper right, "Threads of Darkness" label in the upper left, disco ball hanging from the ceiling...

I'm allegedly male, though you'd have to check with my wife to verify that.

Cool! Usually I have to embarrass myself in public all by myself. It'd be neat to have someone else do all that work for me. Besides, your comics are cute.

You can't really say that evil never wins. Kefka technically wins considerin' he took over the world and rebuilt it to his likin'. Anyone who Celes can kill in one turn (okay, okay, not true; Terra had to hit him once, too) should not be counted as a "winner." More accurately, though, not...

Alex the game character, I mean, not you. Sorry for the confusion.

Also, haveing fun editing people's posts to include "heathen" in front of "goddess" eh? lol. It looks like it's an automated find-and-replace kind of thing, with "the heathen goddess" replacing the name of Alex's sweetie when she's being a career woman and "the le...

Gabryel, because she's the only one of the three that occasionally suggests there might be some point in having anyone but Jian in the party to fight with. ( single most annoying thing about this game, dern it! ) And I have to agree that she's also the most attractive of the three, and has something...

Not that those are mutually exclusive, by any means, but... I seem to recall that in the original Lunar: EB, every so often boss monsters would have the power to strip the players of their various buffing spells. This wouldn't be a special attack a la the Profound Darkness's "Cancelling" i...

Some people are meant to be heroes. Those with indomitable will, who refuse to live as anything but the utmost fulfillment of their potential. The rest of us are there to fill an even more vital role--we're there to give the heroes someone to rescue! I mean, hey, if five exceptional members of human...

Hello, fellow newbie!

I guess some people would compare DS9 to B5 because they are both based on a space station. But in my opinion that is the only thing that is similar about them. I don't mind DS9 but in my opinion B5 is 10x better (no exaggeration). Well, DS9 started out very different from B5. It was just the usual...

Sonic, for me. If it hadn't been for playing Sonic II on my friend's Genesis in college, I'd never have bought one, and would never have discovered Shining Force, never have discovered Phantasy Star, and of course never have discovered Lunar. So even though I can't even clear the Chemical Plant Zone...
