I wish I could remember the original Lunar's release but it was a little before my time. (I was 3 when it came out in Japan) My first remembrance of a Lunar game is reading a review of it and seeing a full page advertisement in 1998-99 for Lunar SSSC. It looked interesting but at the time wasn't really interested. (Sadly, I was more interested at the time with FFVIII) Never gave it a second thought.

Then a couple of months later, or maybe a year later, saw a strategy article of Lunar EBC and it was a complete strategy guide of the epilogue up to and including the Star Dragon. I read through that and thought what a pretty game and it was very intriguing. Then I went to my local second hand gaming store (now bankrupt) and saw a copy of it used but looking new with everything included in the original package for $30. (I kick myself to this day for not buying it) but I was a kid and I didn't have the money so then a year or two after that I found Lunar-NET.

One thing I cannot remember though is how I found Lunar-NET. I wish I could remember but I have no recollection. I also can't remember whether I found Lunar-NET and then played Lunar or vice versa. However, I do remember my first e-bay purchase which was Lunar SSSC for $100. It was my birthday present from my grandparents.

I've been at Lunar-NET for seven years ever since. On and Off of course but I remember the days when I was on it religiously. The days of the RP.

My cousin was the one who introduced it to my brothers and me. (As with most other games. ) He had a Sega CD and I remember when we were watching him play it the first time through, and trying to figure out where the Grindery was. (We missed the clue about the water.) He's the one who got me into games and more specifically RPGs in the first place.

I think it was at a Best Buy I first saw the box for Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete. I spent several minutes staring at it wondering what it was (and failing to realize I could open the front to read what it was about...). Checked out an online review and was a bit hesitant to try the game because of the graphics (I was so shallow!). But when my birthday came up I decided I just had to get Lunar 2 as my present.

Best decision I ever made!

Lunar 1 Side Story: After finishing L2 I decided I needed to get the first game. I had my parents drive me to every EBGames/Gamestop/Best Buy/Rhino/etc in the area to find a copy but to no avail! I was a sad panda and ready to call it a day, but my parents recommended we stop by a Wal-mart on the way home just to see if they had it. Sure enough, they did! Among a pile of L2 boxes was a single Silver Star Story Complete box. It was a bit banged up and half-priced. Must've been on that shelf for ages. I got it and it's been proudly displayed on my shelf ever since. Ah, memories...

I believe it was 11th grade science class when my science teacher told me about it. He recommended it to me, so I decided to try it out. I'm glad I took his advice.

I was like 12 or 13 yrs old and i seen the Box of Eternal Blue complete, saved up allowence and bought it a couple months later, glad i did, fav game

I discovered it in a Gamepro magazine article for Lunar 2 for Sega CD. The art style reminded me of Valley of the Wind (as I didn't know what anime was at the time). It wasn't until the PS1 remakes that I got to play them.

Lunar has influenced me ever since.

I remember walking through the electronics section at Wal-mart and saw Lunar: SSSC. I asked one of the people who worked there to get it out for me, thought the description sounded interesting and bought it. Played through it around three times before picking up EBC. Best money I've ever spent. *glances over at her character stand-ups sitting on her dresser*

Oh god, well I've moved around alot, so after one move and I started high school I became friends with this girl who kenw of anime and such. (also how I got started into anime XD) Well I visited her at her house one day and we were talking about video games and she showed me Lunar:SSSC, I was hooked from there. Afterwords I went to gaming stores to see if I could pick it up (it was a few years from when it was first relessed) couldn't find it for a while. Manged to locate one day in a used game pile at a Funcoland (long before they all became GameStops). It only had the game, manual and box, so I didn't get the extra stuff that would come with it, but ofcourse it was used :p. after that I heard that Lunar2:EBC was comming out anf got that right away XD. So that's my story.
