I would like to see it launched on the PS3 mainly because I view Lunar as a console-game.. I would say that it would be good if it came out on Wii, but the Wii just doesn't fit the type of console Lunar should be played on.. Idk, Nintendo tried to do Lunar justice once but it gave birth to Lunar Legends on the GBA and Dragon Song on the DS *shudders*... Lunar should stay with Playstation since Sega has blown away in th sands of time.. lol

Its not like its Nintendo's fault that both Lunars on their system were average/bad.
They both weren't developed by GameArts as well (I think?).

I'd prefer it to be on PS3 or Wii. If it has to come on a handheld, I'd prefer the PSP.

I'll admit that it doesn't matter to me what platform future Lunar installments are released on. I'd enjoy a well made game on any of them, and so far I've bought 5 systems with Lunar in mind. I expect I'll continue to do so if necessary. Don't judge me! ^_^; Also, what's up with the older posts in this thread that seem to argue against a hypothetical home console Lunar installment that is colorful and cartoony? Is there some other dark and realistic Lunar series that I don't know about?

I'd prefer it to be developed on the PS3 solely for what can be accomplished with Blu-Ray. This means more room for better sound that is not compressed, enormous video files for anime and cg, and whatever else is possible. I don't want the series to continue on a handheld because it limits the scope of the game, and I just hate staring at a small screen and getting neck cramps from staring down.

In order for it to get taken seriously as an RPG, it'd have to be released on PS3. 360 isn't known for its rpgs and the ones I've played aren't *that* great. The Wii has junk software for the most part it seems, it'd be wayyy too easy for Lunar to get ignored in its library, but I'm sure others would disagree. Plus just the kiddie pop software sort of scares me as far as putting up something real, like Lunar which has heart (tales of symphonia remake was considered sort of bad, but made money). It does have the biggest base, but eh. The graphics would run fine on the Wii since my expectation for Lunar 3 isn't dependent at all on graphics, 2d graphics done well would be fantastic, so would 3d. I played FF7 for the first time like a year ago and loved the graphics/art, wouldn't want it any other way. The 2d art even gave it a greater feel than what 3d wuld have accomplished since it was like you were moving around in an art piece, like seeing the green mako energy flare and stuff, amazing in 2d. That's where I think gaming is sort of lost and might never come back, but that's another topic lol.

PS3 has a bit more "feel" than the xbox 360 I was thinking the other day, even though that doesn't really matter lol. Read an editorial about how FF13 played on xbox would feel weird, and I find myself agreeing.

And as far as handhelds....if you're talking about the resurrection of a franchise, having your coming out party constrained to a handheld is a horrible idea if you are trying to become respected in the mainstream.

Did you perchance read this on IGN? I remember reading something about a long-standing X-Box editor swapping over the the PS3 because, to him, the PS3 was the only system that felt like a "genuine gaming machine."

In a matter of speaking the Xbox360 is more like a PC, so maybe that's why someone would feel that way. The 360 has a lot more rpgs than PS3 at this point, but hopefully there is a big shift coming. Lunar would benefit more on a PS3 release because it's more popular in Japan and now Europe. The U.S. is a bunch of FPS crazed wannabe gun toters.

I just couldn't look at Lunar having the same impact if it showed up on the Wii, as it would on the PS3. The Wii is too casual of a system, and the games that sell the best are all Nintendo first party titles. We don't need Lunar overshadowed by the majority of crap games the Wii loves to sell. Good games like Okami and Klonoa drop in price quickly because no one buys them (and they're ports) even though they're great games. Not that I'm complaining about price.

The Wii really only looks best on a standard television set too, because some games just look like pixelated disasters on an hdtv. My Dreamcast games look better through VGA on my tv than most of my Wii games, and the Dreamcast came out in 2000! How I miss Sega's "ahead of it's time" innovation.

I've got to call you on that one. First, how is the PS3 more well-known for its RPGs? All of the good ones I can think of for it were also on the 360, and in some cases (like Fallout 3), the 360 version was better for having more DLC.

Then the 360 also has Mass Effect, MagnaCarta II, Star Ocean, and a few others. If you don't find them that great, then that's probably because there haven't been many break-out RPG releases in the past couple of years, and those were for the PS2 (Persona 3 and 4), Nintendo DS, or multiplatform (Oblivion, Fallout 3, Dragon Age). The next-gen systems haven't gotten a stand-out exclusive RPG yet outside of Mass Effect (ignoring the PC). That's not unusual, but does contribute to my point: the systems are either on equal footing, or the 360 is doing slightly better RPG-wise.

That being said, I wouldn't mind it on either the Wii, 360, or DS but only because those are the systems I own or will own, and I think Lunar would be best marketed on those systems. (I don't think the Wii-glut would have a large effect provided it was marketed even halfway decently, since a good deal of the glut happens in other genres.) But any system would do, if it were Lunar and well-done.

First of all, Lunar has never been marketed in the U.S. short of magazine ads or in-store displays so that is a joke. There is no way in hell I want Lunar on the Wii, because they will force some ridiculous gimmick into the game using the Wii remote.

I want some HD Lunar damnit!

lawl, that is so true. Or like how Lunar: DS was named only in part since it was made for the DS, good design decision there. Marketing seems like its going well, not. Maybe they should try that for the Playstation if they ever make Lunar 3....Lunar: Pulsing Star. Not horrible really, has star in the title >.> Pulse you think of heart, of which lunar has lots of. Could have a super cool love story and stufff. Maybe tie in a global warming reference to the story (jk of course lol).

Lunar: DS was named because of a poll on this site. The other choices were Dark Skies (my suggestion) and two others I don't remember anymore. KF

There were actually three other choices. Scarlet Sun, Ashen Dawn, Shattered Dawn.

I know the perfect name that was never on the list for it.

Lunar: Dead in the Water

I voted for the PS3 because its my console of choice. I'd gladly buy it for the wii or 360, though. The wii would be plenty powerful to make a good Lunar game, but I'd be worried about its sales because non-Nintendo games don't tend to move many units. I'm still a bit disappointed about Skies or Arcadia Legends not selling on gamecube and never getting a second one.

I'm still wishing on a silver star for a Skies of Acadia 2. I have it on my Dreamcast and loved it. Lunar 3 would fit right at home, and has plenty of room to go crazy.
