A remake of Lunar: The Silver Star
You play Alex, a young boy who hopes to one day be a Dragonmaster like his dearly departed hero Dyne. One day, a wizard named Nash comes into town, and needs an escort to a nearby shrine in the woods. You, your childhood friend Luna, and your flying cat-like pet Nall accompany Nash to the shrine, and your adventure begins.

This is a slightly pared back port of Silver Star Story. It still has the same bones of the plot, but trims some content to keep the story much more tightly paced, keeping it under 20 hours. An interesting and very portable version of Lunar.
Tem varias falhas, porem possui aquele carisma que os RPG's antigos quando portados perdem. Eu gostei bastante quando joguei.
A charming enough port of Lunar. It might lack the voice acting and anime cutscenes but there's some great spritework at play here. The localization is a mixed bag, thankfully it doesn't have the poorly aged punchup of Working Designs' translation, but Ubisoft(!) provides one that's just a little too dry. Though thankfully it doesn't have the bloat that WD introduced in their localizations of previous Lunar games; the GBA port might be the quickest to play through since the numbers aren't cranked up to prolong the game. It only took me about 10 hours and I never had to grind.
It's not the best version of the game but there's something to be said for how quaint it is that this exists; they could have repeated the same plot beat for beat but much like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, each retelling of Lunar keeps the broad strokes but changes plenty of individual plot beats. I think that's neat as all hell!

They tried.
An absolutely wretched port for a very average game. Maybe my relationship to Lunar would be different if I didn't start here, but I think very little of this franchise, what its world is focused on, and what it has to say.
