GOTM June 2024 GotM Discussion (Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete)

[Random Encounter]

Can't wait for tomorrow! Any others who haven't seen or played this game before? If so, what are your expectations going into it?

[Althena]

Thanks for making this thread, Random Encounter! For that matter, what are your expectations?

[Selbaek]

I expect there to be references to the first game's characters despite being set so far ahead in the future.

I expect the gameplay is going to be extremely similar to the first. I'm not sure what to expect from the story or music, though, but hopefully it's nothing but good!

[Althena]

How is everyone liking the game? It it living up to everyone's expectations? Does anyone have any questions? I'd love to talk about it when I'm not on stream!

[Selbaek]

I really like how streamlined they seem to have made combat. The menu system is a big step above the first game's. I am not digging the generic music in a lot of areas. Especially established places from the first game that already have a theme song.

[Random Encounter]

I am enjoying the story and vibe of the game more than I thought I would. I would have really enjoyed this back in the day. That said, Selbaek is right: the music is a step back from the first Lunar

[The Grimace]

I'm highly enjoying this playthrough and I think I'm gaining more of an appreciation for Lunar 2 as we progress. Like Random and Selbaek, I will echo that largely the music is a step down from Lunar 1. On the positive side, when the music hits, the music hits. The characters are wonderful and reliving this game years later is an abdolute treat.

[Althena]

It was such a an immense pleasure bringing this game to all of you this month! I'm sad it's over, but looking forward to discussing it with Random Encounter and Selbaek during the Post-Mortem!
