Question about leveling
Recently I watched parts of a Lunar SSSC play through and I noticed something near the end. Here's a screenshot I took from this playthrough . As you can see, the player somehow managed to get everyone ahead of Alex, with Kyle three levels ahead. Now I know that Jessica and Mia usually lag behind on...

Re: 20 years ago today.
I do need to examine those credit pics and things like the balloon fall pic some more. I hadn't picked up on the bloomers. And apparently either they were no longer part of her outfit in SSS or she hadn't put them on yet when dressing in that bromide. I'm pretty sure they nixed the bloomers for SSS...

Re: Jessica: strong female character or missed opportunity?
I do feel SSS shortchanged her a bit, mostly in the sense that it started down the path of really expanding her characterization beyond what it was in TSS, but stopping short of really fleshing it out. Namely, what it felt like she really lacked was an arc, a change -- she's kind of the same person...

Re: 20 years ago today.
I've always found that piece of art interesting (though I wish it weren't quite so big, as it's taking up nearly my entire laptop screen). Luna looks rather different there, with the lipstick, certainly older. She's also wearing a fair amount of jewelry -- earrings (which she always has), at least ...

Re: Jessica: strong female character or missed opportunity?
Here's something from my really sketchy notes on TSS: After Pao is healed, Kyle tells a NPC that "as long as we're around, the bad dudes had better watch out!" If Jess is not yet in the party, Nall inquires if Kyle's including himself in that category; after Jess joins, she's the one aski...

Re: Jessica: strong female character or missed opportunity?
It's funny, because despite the writer's attempts at sidelining Jessica, she still comes off as a stronger character and a better person than Kyle. I get the feeling she's still the one calling the shots in their relationship, since he can't seem to commit. She never loses her feisty side, and still...

Re: Spells in Lunar 1 and Lunar 2 versions
This is a great breakdown! I think SSSC's limited number of spells is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it makes the party members more specialized. Nash suffers from this greatly, as he relies on lightning/electricty spells for damage; this makes him useless against any enemies that are immune to ...

Too bad my last PC bit the dust (I'm using a Mac btw), otherwise I'd definitely buy these for PC. Glad to see that Lunar's still being made available in some form!

Re: Jessica: strong female character or missed opportunity?
I haven't played TSS, but from watching gameplay videos and looking at Lunar.net's screenshot gallery, there are certain things that come off better than in the remake. Mia actually seems more assertive (she calls Nash a jerk while they're in Meryod), and Jessica smacks one of the creeps in Meryod (...

Re: What changes would you love to see in another remake?
Change Luna and Alex's backstory so that they grow up in different households, just to remove any trace of weirdness from their relationship. We don't see too many boys and their adopted sister falling in love irl. Make Luna Ramus' adopted sister? idk Good lord, yes. Especially considering we're li...

Re: Jessica: strong female character or missed opportunity?
I was afraid of that... 1 vote for a missed opportunity. She starts as a strong female character but then they bring her down so that Kyle can be built up... if you can call it being built up. Honestly whenever I replay Silver Star I always find that Kyle is the weakest link story-wise. He not only ...

Jessica: strong female character or missed opportunity?
This is probably going to be awkward coming from someone whose avatar is an image of Jessica, but here goes. I've been doing some thinking on this, and it's really bothering me. For starters, let me go over the positives. Jessica has a very strong upbeat personality and spends a lot of time dressing...

Re: Lunar's music style and music in general through the yea
The opening, in terms of both music and visuals, always made me think of Escaflowne's opening. Makes sense, since both of them are of that 90's style of fantasy that has come and gone. I'd love to see a revival of it.

Re: Tempest and Fresca
Incidentally, not clear on whether you knew this already, but Tempest's weapon in TSS is a whip. Dunno why it was changed to a bow in SSSC. I have the Lunar I and II art book, and she does indeed have a whip. I like the idea of her using a whip, since it contrasts nicely with Tempest's archery skil...

Re: What changes would you love to see in another remake?
Luna meets Mia, but briefly. Meets Kyle, but drunk. Meets Jessica and spends some time with her on their quest to that island of the fake Dragonmaster. There could be more things happening between the girls in the little time they get to see Luna. I definitely agree. One idea I had was Jessica aski...
