Game Freezing?
Has anyone had their copy of Lunar Legend freeze up when you cast Jess' Escape spell? Is this a widespread bug or is it just within my cart? I purchased it used from EB Games a few months back, and haven't had any other problems with it. Thanks!

That's your choice, but it sure doesn't answer his question. It might be from a previous user, but that's just one option of many. A great many used games have nothing wrong with them, especially cartridge games.
I believe I did have at least one freeze in Legend, but I don't recall the conditions, I'm afraid. I had partial sprites in Damon's tower, color reversing in Burg, and of course the two bugs associated with saving. All of these were in a brand-new US game, and I saw none of them in the Japanese one, by the way.

Doubtful that it's from previous use. It's a cartridge, not a CD, so if it gets dirty then that won't make the game skip or freeze. Maybe not load, but it won't freeze.
It's likely some odd bug, could be in the programming of the game itself (i.e., there might be a few GBA versions with that bug out there). Does this happen every time you cast escape, in certain dungeons only, or what? KF

Dunno Kiz, carts are a bit more resistent to freezing and the like because they aren't as easily damaged, but the first and only time I rented a GBC game from Blockbuster was a disaster. The game kept freezing or wouldn't even load. Or load and instead of freezing reset itself. Or have glitches up the arse. After taking the game out, I noticed that someone had spelt something on it and it had started to either rust, or maybe it just looked like rust.
Great. And it wasn't a little known game that might have issues like L:L or L: DS. No, it was a freaking Zelda Game .

See, if it were a wholesale problem, like the game wouldn't load, or it would load all spotty (like NES cartridges used to do), then it's possible that it's a physical problem with the cart itself. The problem described here sounds like a bug, since it occurs in just one situation when one command is executed.

Thats why I like GXC 90 Days ^-^Kizyr wrote:Ok, yeah, that sounds like some in-game bug...
Since you got it used, I don't think there's much you can do at this point. If you bought it recently, I'd suggest taking it back to get it exchanged; but I think EB has a 14-day limit with used games. KF
Someone I known asked me about freezeing in Lunar Legend but I told him I never got it due to wanting its PSone Counterpart (wants the anime and still pics)
I ask him what it was see if its samething

You did notice that other than the post just before yours this whole thread is from over a year ago, right? And you'd be more correct to call it a very buggy localization, as all of the known bugs appear to be in the US version only (though I know of one dialogue error which I'd rather expect to be in the Japanese version too).
