Lunar Threads

Inoue Kikuko sung beautifully in LTSS. No matter which version you play, you hear her singing. Hikami Kyouko, who took over the role of Luna (and again her singing is in the English version) in remake did a good job, but she's not in the same league as Kikuko. Lunar 2's cast was full of big name sei...

I think he'd look pretty laughable in the Dragonmaster gear....

When I first saw the World of Mana website a few months back, I knew I would be on board with whatever games the project would yield... Watching that flash intro of the Mana Tree was like going back in time 10 years to when I first played Secret of Mana, and I felt like the staff had made it for peo...

That one stood out to me also.

This game does like to get all philosophical on you. Look at the dragons...

Another one that made an impression on me:

[spoiler]This is from the very end of the Japanese version - Jian says something like, "You can't clean blood with blood."[/spoiler]

For some reason, I always had a hard time getting Cow Bones. Though I identified an enemy that dropped them, they seemed very rare...

More Ignatius (over?)analysis: [spoiler]What?? Althena addresses Ignatius as 'Dragonmaster'??? DevNall, is the dialogue you posted accurate? In Lunar Genesis the player learns that at the same time as Jian, when Zethos says it. But anyway... -After Ignatius knocks Rufus' sword back over to Jian, Jia...

Another response: [spoiler]I don't think the Red Dragon was lying when she said that as servants of the Dragonmaster, the dragons cannot recognise a rival to the current Dragonmaster. If so, then defeat at the hands of Jian circumvents that rule. Perhaps the only way there can be two Dragonmasters a...

Return to DevNall! I checked the first Ignantius scene in Japanese, and Ignatius' dialogue has some subtle layers of meaning that might be difficult to capture in translation. (For example he says "yo ha igunatiusu nari", which is likely to be translated 'I am Ignatius" - but the word choice contain...

Sure there is, if this thread is any indication. http://www.lunarthreads.com/viewtopic.php?t=698 There's dragon trials, there's visits to Vane, there's adventures in piracy... There's hopefully a discussion of how Dyne and Ghaleon got to be friends, and how the Goddess has just about given up on imm...

I feel that pain. Having the Frontier crawling with equip breakers was NOT a smart move on JAM's part. But you don't have to just accept it.

Not when Termite stops that -Dragon Diamond- cold, and Asmodei decreases the enemies' accuracy.

Unfortunately, you have to tough it out with what you can get in Lind. You can't get back to Wrick at that point in the game.

In response to DevNall: [spoiler]In regards to Althena's rebirths, I don't think we can call DS Lucia a rebirth in the same sense as Luna (in the remake at least... in the original it's hard to say). Lucia's more like Althena in disguise. I remember someone (Titus?) saying that Althena sealed her me...

Well, that would've had a LOT more finality about it. It might have single-handedly gotten the game a higher rating too...

That's really cool. It's the kind of information I love to hear about.

Angelalex, that has a good ring to it. I think that sounds quotable.

Those bosses were a lot to deal with. I had pretty good luck with using the Screecher card (little mushroom-headed guys) to soften them up. The poison status did more damage than most of my characters. And of course, not battle strategy is complete without the Insector card... Because it's BIG boost...

GhlaeonOne is right. There's no fixing broken equipment. There is only prevention and replacement.

This is why the Termite card is your best friend on the Sangrid(I don't know the English names) Bridge and in the Frontier.

I'm not suggesting that you are mistaken about the developers' intent - after all, you're looking for definitive proof of what it is, right? As Alunissage said, since the staff never had much to say about Strolling School/Magic School it's unlikely that you'll find an instance of someone with suffic...

The equipment breaking thing is what I dislike most about this game, and there are a lot of enemies on the brigde and in the Frontier that can do that. Having equipment get broken in the Frontier is especially bad. All I could figure out to deal with it was remember which enemies did it and use a Te...

Spirit Icana, it sounds like we have pretty similar persepectives on the game. I wonder if the staff didn't have more planned for Lunar DS that they didn't have time to execute, because there are a lot of loose ends, and the ending seemed very abrupt. Bigtime Spoilers: [spoiler]The biggest loose end...

I think I used the Strong Umbrella all the way up to the Cathedral of Althena, in hopes that Jian wouldn't be the one to kill enemies EVERY TIME.

Since Althena statues are plentiful on Caldor and you can use cards or items to recover HP, I figured why not let Lucia burn through her MP?
