Lunar Threads

I ended up getting Snatcher ok'd as a speedrun in an upcoming event and needed to take some time to route that for a bit. I'll be back to Lunar soon though. The early game, let's say 50% is fully set at this point though for reference.

Great question! And no, no specific version necessary. Whichever works best

Good idea!

I'm finishing up a new save and quit skip atm. With full testing of it like 70%, I'm hoping to post the first section of the 'walkthrough' pretty soon.

Hahahahaha!!! No wayyy! I can't believe it! I decided to re-check the traditional 'speedrun route'through the final dungeon and, lo and behold, it wasn't the fastest way through! Time for the first strat update in Ghaleon's Palace in 15 years! (I had always just assumed Elijah miller's original spee...

Within the first hour after the 1 year anniversary of my latest WR, I've just finished confirming the *cough* Final, New route! Things are now possible that were not before. Things, in fact, went SO well, that I have to put some extra time into testing the latest stuff before more actual runs can st...

Heya Kizyr, So there are some big version differences, but not HUGE English version removes Black Dragon Boss fight's full-party breath attack (helpful) But Buffs 6 Boss Monsters' HP (including blk dragon) compared to their NTSC-J boss versions The biggest one though is that you can only get 1 level...

Hello all! I'm very pleased to announce, the year of the sub 2:30 speedrun has begun! I've recently been rerouting my run for Lunar and have had very promising results. Since I feel this will be my true, final push into Lunar: The Silver Star, if even just for my future-reference, I thought I would ...

Taken from toucharcade article describing the recent update to Lunar TSSST (posted 1/2/23): "It’s been a little while since the last update to SoMoGa’s fine port of Lunar, Lunar: Silver Star Story Touch ($9.99). It’s been a longer while since its last major update, version 2.0. Four years and e...

Hey all, the journey is finally over. Not only did I get my final goal time of under 2:40, I've finished and uploaded full commentary for anyone interested: [youtube]https://youtu.be/dTqyiEwZlgU[/youtube] Now for the game's future - I plan on running this once a year during the month of lunar new ye...

I'm going to keep running any% until I get at least a 2:3X:XX. I have 1 section of the game where I dropped stepcount and I can easily get it down to a 2:37 whenever I get a decent run. Just over 2 minutes ahead my first attempt since the goal run without even hitting that dropped stepcount so look ...

Firstly, hello board, thanks for letting me talk your ear off this past year. I'm Nick 'thedoanezone' Doane, Lunar 1 Undisputed World Record Speedunning champ! Today is a year to the day since I initially captured the (English) Lunar the Silver Star World Record (by 9 seconds) and 8 days ago I compl...

Also, while you're here one other thing I always wondered about was is there actually a scene for the singers song in the village of Lyton? By the time you get there she's already kidnapped, but I know I'm wondering what happens if you get there before the red dragon cave.

Thank you! Would certainly save me a lot of time.

Kyle asks for 1000000 silver to let you through the barrier if you visit him before you gather the full party. I'm willing to run a long save file to see if it's possible to bribe him, but I figured I'd ask here first. Can you even get 1,000,000 silver? Or will the counter stop at 999,999? Can anyon...

Doing some further research it looks like the x factor on this glitch is NOT the merchant being mobile. The glitch is triggered only when walking 1 direction and initiating the shop menu instantly. Any shop where you can walk forward directly into the shop interaction is potentially a run-killer. Ju...

You're in a thread and subgroup about the silver star though...

Then you might appreciate my 100% run I recently completed for the first time - https://www.speedrun.com/lunar_the_silv ... n/z0rk8joz
