Lunar Threads

In the Japanese version Royce is sort of a "little devil" character with an ironically saccharine speech pattern, while WD's version was, as Lyriel said, exotic and mysterious. I can imagine Xseed going for something closer to the original with the high pitched voice, but it's hard to gau...

You are basing this off of a short demo, and voice samples. If you think this is bad voice acting then that is your right, but I have to disagree with you. On presentation alone (from what I've heard) this sounds more professional than a lot of game voice work. You just think WD's voice work was go...

Yeah, I saw the Facebook update about this pop up. Pretty cool. It's very good to have a publisher that is open and willing to communicate in some form other than empty prepared statements.

I'm another Lunar fan in PA, about an hour south of Erie.

The GameStop website even has it listed as March 2nd now.

Yeah, I've been especially intrigued by the use of the word "rebirth" rather than remake, update, or anything like that. Seems to suggest that they're really hoping to move on from Silver Star.

I have this crackpot theory about Square Enix's methods when it comes to this and FF7. They KNOW people want a FF7 remake... but they also know that after they do it, the fans may abandon them. So what they do is they string them along with these side games for as long as they possibly can, under t...

Well, there is a Grandia Online coming. Though out of all of them, I'm still surprised we've never seen another Chrono game, considering how popular that series is. I know. Everyone's argument about Square not wanting to create new IPs is sort of countered by the fact that they won't add a third in...

Cool, thanks. Thanks for keeping this site up, by the way. Visited it for years, but just recently came on the boards. It's by far the best fan site for a video game that I've seen.

It seems odd that this appears to be on track to sell better here than in Japan.

Looks good to me. I like the how you can hover over the picture and have it zoom in. Cool touch!

I missed that artwork being released somehow...

avoid the whole "everything old is better, everything new sucks" sort of mentality you get with any series whose fanbase has been around for a while (a variant of this is the "everything in Japanese is better" thing that you get into with anime and JRPG fans)... When a game is r...

Yeah, I'd rather have a quality game also. Despite the fact that Lunar is on the PSP and FFXIII is on the PS3, I hope it doesn't get lost in the shuffle (only coming out a week before it). I gues sthe good thing is the amount of preorders that have come in so far.

I'll confess that I was a long time lurker (started looking on the site and boards back when EBC came out), and while this post didn't make me come out of lurking this game did. See that? I made Final Night come out. It's okay Final Night, we love and accept you. *sniffles* Do you really mean it?

I don't know if you ever played Grandia 3, but I was getting crazy Lunar vibes when I was playing through it. Part of me wondered if it started as Lunar 3, then became Grandia 3 mid-development. I'm not sure how to spoiler tag here so I won't get into the reasons why. I enjoyed Grandia II. Now you'...

Yeah, I read that the game is actually easier if you DON'T grind. I've never been into the whole card thing in games, but I guess that could be interesting if it actually gets me through. I am intrigued by the story and want to do more than read it on a website, but I don't want to beat my head agai...

That would be awesome! Aside from the soundtrack I'm not exactly pumped about the swag we're getting this time. The soundtrack is going to be awesome though.

I picked up Drag Song awhile back and had been meaning to play it despite how awful I had heard it was. I jumped into the Lunars during the Playstation era and loved them and even played Lunar Legend and beat it. With SSH coming out I thought I should finally dig in and tackle Dragon Song... I'm not...

haha, that's a pretty good point. Maybe since he's not fully developed he only craps Cubic zirconia.

Dragon Song was a later development that had nothing to do with it. Don't forget at the time that Grandia became the focus for GameArts, so Lunar was put on the backburner. Grandia was most likely what he was referring to, but even he didn't know for sure. I don't know. Didn't Vic invent the Ninten...
