Hate to break it to you, but Nail and his discount angel's tear was a thing in Complete. Your complaints about the combat, where movement was needed to do basic melee attacks, is a staple of the first two games.

I really loved the characters but it may be worth refreshing my memory.

I've always said that Lunar's strength was in its' characters. They're the glue that ties everything together, and the game, while definitely serviceable, would be far weaker without them. Mixing traditional western role-playing character archetypes with contemporary Japanese personality archetypes was a stroke of genius on Studio Alex's part. None of this is to say that other elements, like music, or story aren't noteworthy, however. Lunar really is the platonic ideal of an RPG, and deserves its' spot on any list of classic, old-style JRPGs, hanging with such greats as Phantasy Star, Breath of Fire, Grandia, or the pre-FFVII Final Fantasies. Highly, highly recommended, though the Sega CD and PS1 remakes get my personal vote for best versions.

Great video breakdown. There are not many reviews on this version of the game. Thank you for spending the time to review it.

Loved what they did for the PSP port, but the one thing I hated & never forgave was the dub job they did. The dub on the PS1 version was far better than the PSP. Even Luna's Boat Song was far better in the old PS1 version!

Although it may not have the greatest battle mechanics, the story of this game is simply amazing.

I'd beg to differ. It had a nice system and held up for years. It's still a great game and looks amazing upscaled on emulators.

This game on my s22 and kishi V2 with upscaling is like an HD remake of this game. Still holds up till this day.

We need a hardcore dificulty mod for that PSP version....

Nice video! I bet the reason the music stops during loading is because it's streaming the music off the disc. Sometimes chip tunes can be nice because they can keep playing while other data loads. Even if they don't quite sound as good.

I first played LSS on the PS1, and I really fell in love with it, the characters, the story, music. When I finished the game, It really made me sad, like the feeling of not seeing your friend again. I hope someone makes a remake of this or a new story or anything on current gen (imagine genshin style lunar minus the gacha XD ) . anyway, I am having a hard time finding another game as good as LSS these days.

@MarcoArielMavilTorres I disagree, I think EB is a little better than SS, but keep in mind I absolutely love SS and it's close, but EB gives you one of the best epilogues in an rpg of all time. @orenji13 I know what you mean about feeling like you can't see a friend you had fun with, but I think it would be a mistake to upgrade the game to a Genshin esque game. Most of the fans of this series would feel offput, I think. I think sticking to the roots more but with an update. Like make the game in 2.5D or 2DHD. I think many series tend to lose what endeared them to us when they go off the rails, like the remake of Lufia 2. I say keep it familiar with updated mechanics. is the route to go, but that's just my opinion.

I played the PSX remake of Silver Star Story, and it disappointed me to learn that the version you played had oversimplified combat. The PSX version was tough but doable. While the standard dungeon monsters were all set at fixed levels which you could level out of by grinding, the boss battles were always scaled to be a bit above your party's level. This gave a pretty good balance between those two type of leveling/battling experiences, and it led to some pretty memorable boss fights. I still think the final boss in that version was one of the best designed boss battles of any JRPG.

Subscribed for that review. Looking forward to it.

The PSP version's dungeons are easier to navigate. But the graphics are better.

Best version ever. If you think different, you didnt like Luna.

Personally i don't like the remake the X seed dub just sounds "off" to me i prefer the ps1 version :)

Honestly It got worse when they brought it to the PlayStation- I don't have experience with the PSP version though so I'll withold judgement. The wind nocturne deserves all the praise in the world but the game's original storyline which was stronger was basically sacrificed on the altar of a true goose bumps inspiring piece of music. it is a great song, it doesn't deserve the storyline that created it.
