A young boy and his friends must embark on an epic journey of friendship and love across the planet of Lunar.

Overview

Lunar: Silver Star Story is an epic story of friendship and love that revolves around a young child named Alex who dreams of becoming a legendary Dragonmaster and the four heroes; Guardians of the goddess Althena. Alex is obsessed with the legend of "Dyne" the last known Dragonmaster who disappeared 15 years prior. Along with his adopted sister Luna, his best friend Ramus, and his flying cat-like companion Nall, they set out towards the White Dragon cave and spark off an adventure of epic proportions. Along the way they meet new allies who join them in their quest and new enemies, the Vile tribe, who loathe the Goddess Althena and will stop at nothing to hinder them. Along the way the party unravels the tragic history surrounding the events of 15 years prior, and as the situation becomes more dire, friendships will be tried, allies will become enemies, and amazing revelations will shake the foundation of the characters' beliefs.

Complete

The "Complete" version of Lunar is a remake of the Sega Saturn classic, released for the Sony Playstation in 1999. The remake included almost an entirely new soundtrack, over 40 minutes of hand drawn anime FMV, and multiple altered plot elements. Additinally, the Complete version featured a redesigned overworld map free of random encounters, much less confusing dungeons, and an additional dungeon. The box itself also came with plenty of extras, including a "making of" CD, the complete soundtrack, and a map of the world.

Mia Ausa:

Although she is studying to be a priestess of Althena she often ignores her studies and gets into trouble, usually because of her rocky relationship with Kyle.

Gameplay

The Gameplay in Lunar slightly varies from other turn-based RPGs. Character placement, and the ability to move your characters around the battle areas, allows for many strategically helpful and dangerous scenarios. Area effect attacks and hit all targets in a certain area, and enemies and allies alike can be knocked around the battlefield by attacks.

Criticism

Although the game met critical acclaim for it's story, characters, and great voice acting (which was rare from a JRPG in this era) reviewers complained of it's dated, 2D graphics and old-school gameplay mechanics. Still, Lunar: SSSC is still considered one of the best RPGs of all time by fans.
