To the guys saying they beat it, why don't some join me in playing Eternal Blue... Unless that is against the rules.

One day I might get this on PSP too (if it's cheap)

You can get it right now for under $20.

I suppose I'd prefer to keep this thread mostly dedicated to the first game, but I have no problems with some sequel talk. I'm halfway-tempted to jump right into the sequel after I finish the first game myself.

Yeah the rules for this arent strict. We will be focusing on SS, but you can talk EB

I'll be starting the PSX port on Tuesday.

Yeah, just not sure if I really need it.
Of course, that didn't stop me from buying 6 different ports of Final Fantasy IV
(and with each additional one I swore an oath that I had bought the game for the last time).

But I'll stick with what I've got for now.

Another reason I think I like Lunar is that looks-wise:
Luna, Jessica, and Mia all remind me of girls I liked when I was younger.
Alex, Kyle (more personality here), and Nash remind me of friends I used to hang with.
It's like an anime RPG was made using people I knew.

Yeah Jessica reminds me of my wife with the blonde hair, sharp teeth, and attitude.

Played just a tiny bit today. In the ice caves. I had forgotten how annoying the inventory system was in PSX version. Ah well.

My schedule is pretty busy right now so I can see this taking me a long time to complete. Hope to have it done in early December at the latest. Anyone else start?

[Jmustang1968]

Not yet for me. I need to finish Lords of the Fallen for RPGamer revier first.

I played through the PS1 version of this in 2009. The coolest thing I remember is how often the NPCs change their dialogue. Pretty much the entire world would change what they say after every plot event. I spent hours just talking to people over and over, always marveling at how much detail Game Arts / Working Designs put into that aspect.

That said, the worst thing I remember about the game is the 4th wall breaking pop culture references Working Designs had no problem dumping in the localization. I will never understand why Ireland and crew thought it'd be a good idea to do that with so many of their games. Sword and sorcery fantasy RPG? Let's put a Pepsi joke in there with a relevance expiration date of six months! Okay...

Still, the PS1 version was plenty of old school JRPG fun, I recommend it. And howabout them bromides!

So after a certain point Ramus can apparently still gain levels but there are no stat increases to accompany them. I know he leaves the party early on, but this seems rather silly.

In the sewers of Meribia.
