Lunar: Magical School:OFFICIALLY a sidestory/spinoff or NOT?
Posted: Sat Oct 01, 2005 4:15 am
NOTE TO ALL: What I really need is expressed in MY first post on page 4 of this thread nice and succinctly. SO you can just go there directly if you want
Hi I'm a big fan of Lunar: Magical School (Saturn), but I was wondering, could someone please provide a URL/ link where the developers of Lunar MS state this game is a "side-story /a spinoff".
Please read this below series of quotes and you'll see why I need to know -_-
from Gamefaqs:
"
Me:
"I'll believe it once someone has provided me with a link where the developers themselves say that Magical School is a side story/spinoff. If THEY say its a side story/spinoff then fine
That way I'll know its not the average gamer's personal bias against the game that leads them to call MS a side -story / spinoff, as if to insult it.
Unless you can provide me with that link tho, you have no proof Lunar Magical School is *officially* a side-story/ spinoff."
and then GhaleonOne (at gamefaqs) replied and I replied to him ( I divided up his response so I could reply to each part of it) :
Me:
Um ok who says any Lunar game without a number in its title is automatically a side-story /spinoff? I mean as several people in this thread have said, Lunar Dragon Song doesn't have a number in its title either and it's not considered a side-story/spinoff... its an official prequel/sequel.
ME:
Hmm couple of things here. Who are these two guys?
(officially as it relates to Lunar).
Second, how do we know someone didnt mess up some small grammar element (in Shigema's statement, as he's the only one who called it "Lunar 3"?
Third a link would be nice so I could check the date to make sure it really was said AFTER Lunar MS came out (even then he didnt come out and say Lunar mS wasa side-story)
Fourth, as I said above, a Lunar game doesn't need to have a number in the title to be part of the main series (like Lunar Dragon Song) and thus NOT a side-story.
Fifth, "Lunar III" is in quotes He might just have well as meant "the next Lunar game".
Got any more possible links?"
SO can anyone answer the questions pose in there?
and ,of course, most importantly, can ANYONE post the URL of a link where the DEVELOPERS of Lunar MS officially call it a "side-story" or a "spinoff"? (if the developers say it, then ok , but if not, then I see no reason to refer to Lunar MS as a spinoff/ side-story when its not backed up by any solid facts)
Thanks!

"Lunar Magic School IS a side story. That's why it isn't Lunar 3.
Lunar Walking School, Lunar Magic School(remake of Walking School), and Lunar Dragon Song are all side stories, like it or not."

"GhaleonOne -
"One specific source that states Magic School isn't Lunar 3:..."

GhaleonOne:
"This was translated out of the Lunar I+II artbook, AFTER Magic School was released.
"Shigema: If we were to do a "Lunar III," what would you want to do, Mr. Satou?
Satou: Hmm, I think I'd really want to do a fantasy-themed one. I'd be fun to plunge even more deeply into the myth of Lunar's world. Not that I know what it would be, though. After all, there's a world that a goddess controls, and there are sort of monotheistic elements. There might be the god of another world somewhere, too. It would be interesting if Lunar collided with that kind of world, I think. Or maybe it could be about what happens afterwards to the world of Lunar, which has achieved civilization. "
