[QUOTE="Jessey-Stone"][QUOTE="Eikichi-Onizuka"]Lunar 2 Eternal Blue CompleteStAzKrnchyNMilk
i saw this game at game crazy and literally ran 10 blocks to my house and get the 40 di]ollars to buy it ( it was the collectors edition in the box and leather booklet and all those goodies) still have the game im looking for lunar 1I asked my grandparents to get me a videogame for christmas the year this came out I just told them something not sports/racing. I was expecting spyro or something of the sort and low and behold I open my christmas gift and there was that box set. they asked if they picked a good one but I already had my nose burried in the book and wearing the freaking necklace. Still to this day one of the best christmas gifts they have ever given me.
And to the other poster about why people like Breath of Fire IV. I like it 90% for the art. Open world "grind-exploration" is not the be all end all of gaming. I like games that tell a story and if that means as I play I am "rail-roaded" through I really don't care if the story is good and the gameplay is fun. Honestly I think these games where you are meant to wander the world for hours on end, just to get that last Crystaline Dragon Dropping or whatever, tend to detract from the overall experience.
As I said before, to each their own. If you like linear "rail roaded" gameplay in an RPG, thats fine... I just like the exploration aspect of RPG's. Most series of games are not open world, and to be honest I have never been a fan of non RPG open world games (like Grand theft auto and the likes). I still think the 1st 3 had PLENTY of storyline, and 3 was the first of its class in many aspects. I can honestly say, I dont play a game for art, I play a game for gameplay. I could care less if it is 8 bit or groundbreaking new age technology. The art of some games can be beautiful, but if the game is sub par or a let down to fans of a series, a new coat of paint isnt going to make one bit of differance to me (no pun intended). Cell shading, cartoon anime, whatever it may be... doesnt matter if the game isnt up to par. I would rather play homebrew 8 bit RPG's then most ofthe crap RPG's that are being shoveled out today.
With that being said, there are some linear RPG's I have enjoyed a lot, but BoF4 was such a let down to me that it will never be one of those gamesI consider a GREAT linear gameplay.... I hate when RPG series stray that far from their roots.
Not saying your wrong, just saying opinions make the world turn, so I should have worded my original post a little different, and without as much haste. I just feel strongly about that game.
