(REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS) This guide is definitely going to be biased! Haha. After reading this review, or before, go out and buy this game. Seriously, if you're a retro game fan, or just a fan of games, do yourself a favor and buy this game. Buy the collector's edition of this game. You will be amazed and pleased by the care and love that was put into this game. I'm a huge fan of Working Designs, the late company that made this game. Every game they made was fantastic, and was made by people who genuinely loved their jobs, and loved the games they made. You simply cannot go wrong when you buy one of their games. If you buy the complete collector's edition of this game, the first thing you'll notice is the awesome big box it comes in. The box has embossed writing on the cover, and beautiful artwork all over it. Inside the box is a hardcover instruction manual. It's huge! It contains interviews with the creators of the game and a bunch of other neat things. Also included is a cloth map, "making of" disc, and a soundtrack for the game. Companies nowadays just don't do these kinds of things. So what makes the actual game so great? In a word, everything. The story, characters, music, battle system, they're all outstanding. The dialogue is witty and the character interactions really keep you interested in this game. The game has a great challenge and you actually have to devise smart strategies to win. I don't really think there's much more I can say about this game. It truly is worth every penny, and you will not be disappointed at all. Companies nowadays should take a page out of the Working Designs playbook, because they did it right. If you have a job, buy it right now. If you're a younger gamer, ask for this game for Christmas.Read full review
This Playstation game originally came out during the Sega CD era as Lunar: The Silver Star. The story was different, but the voice acting was there, and the animation sequences were much more simplistic. But, this was an amazing RPG, even then. When Game Arts became Working Designs, they decided to retool the Lunar series, and came out with Lunar: The Silver Star Story. This features all new voice acting, and all new gameplay. Also, they redid the animated sequences to "anime" style. This gave a new dimension to the game. The story was streamlined from the Sega CD game. I have to admit that I was skeptical of this version when it first came out. I didn't know much about Lunar. A friend of mine let me in on some of the aspects of the game, and I bought the 4 disc collector's edition. This version features the retooled game on 2 game discs, a music cd, and a "making of" cd with videos, interviews, and even voice bloopers. It is a fun, awesome game. Later on, Working Designs came out with Lunar: Eternal Blue on the PSX, and had a similar 4 disc set. These 2 games, outside of Star Ocean: The Second Story, are the only "talking" RPGS on the PSX. They feature full voice acting on the cinematics, as well as some voices on the game screens. Also, during battle the characters talk as well. Final Fantasy, the best RPG series, didn't have talking characters until 10 on the PS2. Overall, if you are a fan of RPGs, and tired of playing the same old Final Fantasy clones, pick up Lunar. It is well worth the money. And get the offical strategy guide from Working Designs. It has full-color maps, story arcs, and even the elusive "bromides". 10/10Read full review
I bought this game because I own it on Sega CD. Sadly, many years ago, my Sega ceased to function. Overall, this was not a big deal, but that meant I was unable to play this game. I recently stumbled upon a copy here on Ebay, and promptly purchased it. This is the complete version, for the playstation 1 and 2. It includes a wonderful art book and manual, with brief strategies for completing the game. Most inclusions like this aren't all that great, but this hardbound book is absolutely wonderful, and worth the price of entry, along with it's cloth map. The game is old, but not terribly dated, as it has been updated with graphical enhancements and new sounds, as well as better recorded music. The story is the main attraction here. You follow a few characters through many trials and watch as they grow in capability and friendship. It is just a wonderful story that everyone can enjoy. You really get to know the characters along the way. For RPG fans, this was pretty much the first game that had this kind of draw. When this hit the shelves so many years ago, it was the first game America had seen that provided this kind of engrossing plot and character development. To this day, it is one of the best, and can well hold it's own against any of the modern story driven RPGs. For years it has deserved a place alongside some of the best games ever made. I will not spoil anything for you. If you are considering this game, buy it. It is worth every penny you have to pay to get it.Read full review
This game is actually a remake of the best game ever released on sega CD. The now-defunct working designed released this gem in the US years ago and demand for it is still quite high. The sega cd version was great but with the re-release there are quite a few improvements, for one the graphics are better, there is a whole host of new animated anime-like cutscenes also the whole game has a much brighter crisper look giving it a great feel of high fantasy adventure. Gameplay is very traditional, like many RPGs the battles are turn based. One thing that this game has going for it that makes it much better than the final fantasy games of the same timeframe is that there are not 'random encounters' to me that always was frusterating but in lunar if there is going to be a fight you'll see the monster comming at you and you'll get a chance to avoid battles that way. The storyline is a mixture of romance melodrama and adventure. The game is about young Alex's dream of becoming a dragon master and his fight to eventually save his girlfriend, on and he also ends up having to save the world along the way.Read full review
I bought this game on a whim, more or less. I've head of it, since I'm in a retro-gaming mood of late. I have the game "Grandia," which I guess is made by the same company. I like how there's a soundtrack CD and a "making of" CD too. I probably won't use the "making of" CD ever, but the other three CDs should get a lot of use. I like the huge instruction book. That's a nice feature, but kinda superfluous. I never played the Sega version, so I can't really speak to other versions of this game. I can, however, speak to this game in comparison to other RPGs. I'm not one to care overmuch for graphics. Unless they're painfully bad or amazingly great, I'll barely comment. I do enjoy the anime cut scenes in this game. I'd compare this game's graphics to FF3's for the SNES. Trees look like trees and such. I really like the "save anywhere" feature too.Read full review
The game's storyline and cast of characters are easily loved by many, and the fact that this game includes animated FMV sequences makes the story that much more enjoyable. Games like these are hard to find nowadays, since this game has been out of print for about 7 years. This game might not have the biggest impact in the RPG field like Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger, but for hard core fans that like old shool style games with great graphics, excellent voice acting, and stunning visuals, this is got to be the most must-have game of them all, and I don't beleive you'll ever find a game that is half as good as this for the Playstation.
well lets see what can i say that I like about this game hmmmmm... ah, only that it's THE BEST GAME EVER MADE...I have owned this game since it was first released and i never get tired of playing it, to me it my Final Fantisy 7. when my friend broke my game i was very sad then i found it on ebay and was happy once again. This is a game that was make for all age groups, with a touching story line and a splash of hummor too. If you can find the game with the music cd in it then you will want to get it, the music cd, is full of great back-drop music, some with vocals but for the most part just music. In short no gamer should be with out this game.
Thank you so much! Feels like I’m 12 again playing this old game! I don’t really care that the price was big, because I am now feeling nostalgic. I was stupid and I sold my old lunar to some video games/music shop not knowing how much is actually worth. I’m just happy to have her back. #workingdesigns we miss you!💋

Love the whole game period! One of the best RPG ever made. Lunar has it all! from storyline which you became attach to and won't let go as well as gameplay from a great RPG. RPG fans should not miss this game one bit, this game is an instant classic. This game is something that should not be passed. I bought this game due to it being a classic, I love RPG that have a great storyline to it, as well as a great gameplay. Which to me is a must buy. The dislike I would have about this game would be the price, this game can be very pricey but I is worth the price due to it being rare!. GREAT GAME A+++++++++..
This game is the first of the Lunar series. It kicks off putting you right in the middle of a great in depth heart warming and sometimes frustrating story. You get addicted right out in playing, and wanting to see what comes next, and wanting to see and make your careters succeed and evolve. It came out on the PS1, but for the grafix for it's time it was great. I decided to buy it because I always wanted it but could never find it for sale and it got quite expensive renting it and I had to find out how it was going to end. If you like games like Final Fantasy or Legend Of The Dragoon then this game is right up your alley.
