Unless you’re just now starting to play RPGs, there’s no way you haven’t heard of this game. Lunar is arguably one of the best RPGs ever made. Absolutely loved this game from start to end. The voice acting is incredible, the game play is solid, and the tale is hands down the best part.
Everyone that I know that played and completed this game says the same thing; that despite the ancient school graphics, this is one of the best sports meeting to ever be released on PS1.

It’s kind of hard to tell RPG players the appeal of Lunar when other sports meeting have more stellar graphics, more complicated storylines and deeper gameplay systems. While some of the grown-up sports meeting from the SNES era are considered RPG classics despite very outdated looks, it’s weird trying to do the same for Lunar since it wasn’t quite as huge or as mass-appealing. While yes graphically and storyline wise, this isn’t exactly Vagrant Tale or even Final Fantasy stuff, there was always an appeal to the Lunar sports meeting that made you forget about it and just delight in it anyway.
Tale: You play as Alex from the town of Burg who wants to become just like the Dragonmaster Dyne. But an encounter with a Dragon has Alex, his pet dragon Nall and friend Luna on a quest to save the world where they’ll be taken to floating cities and different cities to save the world of Lunar. Again it’s not the most deepest and complex RPG plot but like a lot of classic fairytales and fantasy tales, there’s a wide appeal for the tale simply because of the charming characters and just the general atmosphere of the game.
Graphics: You’ll notice a difference between the new stuff and the “revamped” stuff. Basically the new is fully-animated cutscenes which help flesh out special events but usually they’re served as character introductions. They’re gorgeous with splendid character designs and they really stand out. Everything else is iffy since the overworld/town stuff is incredibly simplistic with mini-sprites and character portraits during dialogue. But if you like Final Fantasy VI or Chrono Trigger, than this kind of graphic stylishness is not anything.
Sound/Music: Soundtrack was done by Noriyuki Iwadare who’s quite talented at doing upbeat catchy themes and although music-wise it can get slightly repetitive, they’re quite fun and the vocal tracks are quite stellar. Sound work otherwise is functional but not impressive as swords clang and enemies die with small groans but this isn’t really one of those “immersive” sound worlds like Metroid or Bioshock where there is tons of ambience. The voice acting though is quite stellar and aside from the Metal Gear series, Lunar is usually mentioned among sports meeting that best use voice acting.
Gameplay: Lunar does something different (though not together uncommon) in that spells are in fact gained when you take a certain level as opposed to finding them in the world, buying them from shops and the like. It encourages level grinding so you can take new spells though enemies can get just as terrible since they can level up with you a small (mainly bosses though) but really it’s just going owing to a dungeon, beating enemies – which are thankfully onscreen like Chrono series – finding item chests and making it to the boss and whomping them. There’s also some collectables called bromides which are character artworks that show up as mini-cutscenes and since the ladies are quite lovely to ogle, I like collecting the things.
Since there was extra care in the making of the game, we get some added stuff like the cd soundtrack, an artbook with a readily-available walkthrough inside (complete with amusing captions, character artwork and interviews with game developers) and a map. Might not be the resolution best RPG to many people but there’s lots of fans, myself included of course, and Lunar is one to pick up, or at least try.

Lunar Silver Star Tale first debuted on the Sega CD. While the Sega CD system didn’t last very long, Lunar did manage to get quite a following. Unfortunately, because the Sega CD user base wasn’t large, Lunar was overlooked by several gamers. The game had a release on the very small lived Sega Saturn, but again, never reached audiences. In 1999 Lunar finally reached a large consultation. The Playstation. With several changes and updates from the original Sega CD version to make the tale more complete and satisfying.
Lunar Silver Star Tale Complete concerns itself with Alex. He one day dreams of being a Dragonmaster. Just like his hero, Dyne. He figures agony just have to keep dreaming, though. Until his friend Ramus has a plot to go into the White Dragon cave and get a hold of the White Dragon Diamond. Finally, a chance for Alex to go on an adventure. But it ends up becoming much larger than he ever dreamed.
For the most part, Lunar Silver Star Tale has a cliched overly done storyline. Despite that, but, it is one of the best in the genre because it has a fantastic cast of characters who are all well developed, a excellent sense of humor, one of the best villains in video game history as well as a very emotional tale. All these things make you forget the cliched storyline and make it something enjoyable and memorable. The tale also has a few really splendid looking anime cinematics and some incredibly excellent voice acting to help flesh out the humor and wit. It also helps that the dialog is extremely well written. Place simply, the tale is presented very well.
The gameplay is dated, but that’s to be expected for a game originally released in 1992. Lunar has a straightforward combat system. It’s the unadorned turn based fare you’ve seen in dozens of RPGs. You’ll brilliant an action for every character to do and then watch the battle play out as your enemies and you take turns. Every character can either attack, use special techniques unique to only them use items and run away, etc. Battles are friend based. That doesn’t mean enemies will simply let you waltz by. Many enemies upon seeing you will give chase.
Lunar is by no means a complicated game. Every character gains magic owing to levels (save for Alex who will get a few spells from meeting certain objectives in the tale) and has their own unique magic. For example, Nash is the only character who can cast Thunder Magic. There are a few tidbits to the battle system that help flesh it out and keep it from being overly repetitive. For one, characters who use staves can use them to cast spells that they otherwise might not be able to cast. There’s also a huge emphasis on approach here. Lunar is not an simple game by any stretch of the imagination. Especially up against the bosses. You’ll find you have to go your characters all over the field and heal every turn to keep yourself a float. To make matters even more hard, you only have a limited number of items you can carry and on top of that, items at the market are quite expensive and monsters don’t drop a lot of cash. So even though battles are friend based, it’s probably best to fight as many as you can. The only major conundrum with Lunar’s battle system is that battles aren’t quick. Even normal battles can last for several minutes because of having to heal yourself constantly. For the most part, though, the trip owing to the game is very rewarding.
Visually, Lunar is a very colorful, artistic looking, charming running game. It doesn’t push the Playstation to its limits, but it does manage to be a excellent game nonetheless. The artistic design is incredibly well done, though. So are the character portraits and animated cutscenes. It’s in fact a very gorgeous looking game, but it looks like a charming over sixteen bit game too. Luckily, this won’t bother most gamers.
It sounds pretty excellent. As mentioned before, the voice acting is some of the best in the industry. Many of the tunes are quite catchy (particularly the world map and battle themes). They’re small tracks, though, so they loop real soon, which makes much of the music quite repetitive. In the long run, though, you’re getting quite a bit.
Lunar Silver Star Tale Complete originally came with a lot of extras. A soundtrack CD filled with the best tracks, a cloth map, a making of CD and a hardcover instruction booklet that even included a sample of the approach guide made by Effective Designs themselves. It’s quite the collector’s item to have.
Lunar Silver Star Tale Complete is a fantastic RPG that despite being released on the Playstation, was still honestly overlooked. It does, but, retain a strong consultation. A fine game where the effort of the creators really shows owing to fantastic writing, a well crafted tale and some of the most well developed characters to grace the genre.

Lunar is one of the first RPG sports meeting I played. I can remember that it’s not like those complicated and perplexing sports meeting. I like the tale. The scenes were animeish and very solid. Who would not like this game?
