Board 8 > Say I want to play all of the 'canonical' Lunar games in order

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ideally I'd like to play them on a console, but if getting a game on Game Boy is necessary, then so be it.

What games do I get (and for what system)?

The Resurrection

The two for the Playstation are remakes of the Sega CD two, so either set of those. The GBA one is a terrible remake of the first one, so avoid that if necessary. There's also a PSP remake of the first one, I haven't tried that yet.

There's also Magic School Lunar/Lunar Walking School, which was for the Game Gear and Saturn but never released in the US.

And then there's Lunar: Dragon Song which is uhhhhh and I've never played that.

So basically:

Lunar: SSSC - PSX
Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete - PSX
Lunar: Dragon Song - DS


That's it??

Do not play Dragon Song.

This is not a request, it's an order.

Dragon Song is pretty much universally regarded as awful, that I've seen.

I've heard that the Sega CD versions are better than the PSX remake.

1st Year OMG Link Always Wins. 2nd Year OMG FF7 Always Wins.
3rd Year OMG Link Always Wins. 2101st Year OMG CATS Always Wins.

In-universe chronological order is DS, SSS, EB.

That said, don't play DS.

I am trying to determing whether I should shell out the money for the Lunar games, or actually play my Arc the Lad Collection that I bought like a decade ago.

Walking School has a fan-translation though...

Congrats SuperNiceDog!

Silver Star Story Complete and Eternal Blue Complete are definitely worth it.

Skip the rest, that's all you need.

When people say they love the Lunar series, they mean those two games (or at least the Sega CD originals those remakes are based on). Nothing else matters or is necessary to grasp the series.

And yeah, go with the PS1 versions of those if possible.

I haven't played much of the Lunar series so I don't know much of the story

so when I say Dragon Song is one of the absolute worst games I've ever played, I'm not talking about the story or some crap, everything about it is atrociously god awful and mind bogglingly stupid

Isn't some stuff suppose to be changed in the PS1 remakes though?

--
1st Year OMG Link Always Wins. 2nd Year OMG FF7 Always Wins.
3rd Year OMG Link Always Wins. 2101st Year OMG CATS Always Wins.

Yeah, for the better.

It's now "complete."

No I mean I heard there were story and game mechanics that were changed in the PS1 version that weren't as good as the CD one.

--
1st Year OMG Link Always Wins. 2nd Year OMG FF7 Always Wins.
3rd Year OMG Link Always Wins. 2101st Year OMG CATS Always Wins.

PS1 version entirely got rid of the tedious random battles

We are thought, and reality, and concept, and the unimaginable

There's a pretty big change fairly early on in SSSC, but I'd argue it was better and they added some things to extend the length. It's better than the original in most ways.

Haven't personally played the original EB, though I'm aware of some changes. They seem to be much smaller than the previous game's.
