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 did a quick scan of the packaging, the disk ID, the .txt files... even the novel and RPG expansion book. I haven't found it identified as 'Lunar gaiden' or anything of the like. I would like to search the game data itself, since I think that would be the most likely place to find it, but that's be...

Anybody heard of a GameArts game on Saturn called Dinosaur Island (Daina Iran)? It's a graphical adventure in a world where dinosaurs have been rediscovered and repopulated (they are really goofy-looking and cute). It turns out that dinosaurs can be controlled by music, and there are schools where p...

FF6 Gameplay Question
Submitted in hopes that there are some FF6 gurus here: I recently found a Japanese article with curious pre-release screenshots. My favorite was a picture of Maduin (Terra's father) encased in ice in the Narshe mines in place of Tritoch. (I assume the staff used Maduin's much simpler sprite as a pla...

I'm hoping V will be better, though, and unless it ends up with terrible reviews, I'll likely buy it anyway. It's one of my favorite series It is an interesting premise, though, the Queendom of Falena. I heard it briefly mentioned with a character's past in Suikoden 2 but not much other than that. ...

It's been a long time since I played it (I have little interest in replaying it) and I don't remember all that well, but I do remember that most of the things that happened had little bearing on the rest of the series. I seem to recall that the manga put more emphasis on human/beastman friction than...

Incidentally, based on the Japanese game I pretty much agree with this review, although I'd like to mention that there are frequent statues for recovery in the beginning, so the HP loss from running isn't that bad even then. Oh, and I haven't experienced this speeding up of battle animation he ment...

One staff member who was in the excellent habit of making her process available is Akari Funato (whom I've ended up mentioning in at least half my posts here). While she's kind of just a lucky fan (an aspiring artist who joined the Lunar staff after playing and loving Lunar TSS), she did work on the...

I'd wondered if using family-like terms to address strangers might be a Japanese language thing. I certainly saw it a lot in the old fairy tales I used to read when I was younger; people were always calling the strange old people they met in the forest "Granther" or "Mother", and of course referrin...

Results of the Umbrella Drawing
You may recall that people living in Japan could enter a drawing via Marvelous Interactive's Lunar Genesis website. 10 winners would recieve an umbrella similar to the one Lucia carries, and it would be delivered to their home by actress Aikawa Yuzuki in Lucia cosplay. Here's an article with picture...

Perhaps his embittered nature after Dyne's loss caused him to pursue more destructive arts? It's not like he never had the ability, but his vengeance may have driven him to hone in on that ability. Going by that, he'd likely be the healer of the party in a Four Heroes game. KF I think Akari Funato ...

More than just the manga supports Ghaleon as a healer. In Silver Star Story, it looks like Four Heroes Ghaleon was a priest. His costume shares certain similarities with Jessica's, as well as Phacia's priestess costume - most evident are the white hoods and the gold medalions. For comparison: Phacia...

Mel's Pirate Backstory
I remember seeing a thread about Mel and his background as a pirate, and what the deal was with Meribia's name changing, etc, etc; (though I can't seem to find it anymore) and I've found some data that clarifies it somewhat. Since it comes from a Lunar TSS guidebook (specifically L:TSS World of Luna...

Kizyr: These characters are not named in the stories themselves, but they are identified in Funato's collections of notes and sketches. Alunissage: Yes. The twins are on page 56. The mention of Madredeus is at the top of p.43. Oh, here's something amusing. Page 42 has a layout for the scene where Gh...

Thanks GhaleonOne. I was afraid UbiSoft had mangled it, but that's pretty good. Alunissage, the part about Confissao and the Confession of the Soul Rumack twins (oh, I didn't mention that, did I? They're fraternal twins) is in the Confessions of the Moon doujinshi. Since there are images of the maga...
