We last left off where Seth decided to go to Valor on his black dragon Erath. And when he got there...And if anyone forgot the story, Kyan found his long lost friend Seth on Valor, and his black dragon Erath. Kyan is a mamkute that can still use swords as well as dragon stone attack.

I've been meaning to get around to playing Lunar: Silver Star for ages, and I'm pretty sure I have an ISO sitting around somewhere, but which version do you guys recommend? The Sega CD version, PSX version, Lunar Legends for the GBA, or wait another month for Silver Star Harmony for the PSP?

うおっ、眩しい!

I don't know what the PSP version is going to be like (aside from the isometric graphics of which I DISAPPROVE), BUT for the full Lunar 1 experience I would recommend playing the Sega CD version then playing the PS1 version, and skipping the GBA version unless you really really like Lunar and want yet another retelling of the same story (GBA version is okay, but the battle system is dumbed down a bit, plus it lacks anime cutscenes and Working Designs' hilarious localization). The Sega CD version is a bit outdated, however, so going only with the PS1 version wouldn't be a bad option. The Sega CD version's interface is relatively hard to work with and it lacks the graphics/fully animated cutscenes and extras of the PS1 version. Still, the PS1 version has some changes to the story and character additions that will be all the more meaningful if you had played the Sega CD version already.

If you decide you want to play Lunar 2, which I actually like more than the first, I recommend the Sega CD version over the PS1 version. The interface in the Sega CD version is much improved over the first Lunar, and it's a lot more challenging and balanced than its PS1 counterpart. The only advantages the PS1 version really has are the more risque/uncensored content (Sega made Working Designs edit some symbols and enemy graphics, but it's minor anyway), better animated cutscenes and graphics, and some minor extras like collectible images. Otherwise, they have the same music and even most of the same voice clips, but the Sega CD version has more animated scenes. There are far fewer differences between the two versions of Lunar 2 compared to the two console versions of Lunar 1.

hope that helps lol

PS hopefully it doesn't need to be said but avoid Lunar DS at all costs. It was full of a bunch of shit gameplay ideas and seriously endangered the future of the entire franchise since it was received so poorly.
