Discovering the Lunar Remastered Collection
The joy of Saving Progress
In the Lunar Remastered Collection, small features make a big difference. One standout aspect is the ability to save your game anytime, anywhere.This convenience enhances the gaming experience considerably.
I recall my childhood days playing Digimon World 3 on the original PlayStation. I had no idea what saving meant or that I needed a memory card. Each time I restarted, it felt normal to begin from scratch. That changed when I got a Game Boy Color and played my first Pokémon game, Gold version. A friend taught me how to save progress thru the menu.
From that moment on, saving became an expectation for me in games.Pokémon made it easy! As I grew older and explored more RPGs, I discovered some games required you to find specific save points scattered throughout their worlds.While this wasn’t ideal for me, I learned to adapt.
Today, I'm particularly interested in whether these save points also restore health for my characters since some games don’t offer this feature anymore. For example, in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, it's frustrating to reach a boss battle with low health after fighting through tough enemies without enough healing items.
After experiencing remasters like Suikoden I & II HD, I anticipated that the upcoming Lunar Remastered Collection would have similar save mechanics since I'd never played these original titles before.To my delight, saving from the menu was possible! This feature allowed me to control my pace while playing through these classic RPGs—making them feel relaxed compared to other recent titles I've tried.
Exploring Lunar's Storylines
The Lunar Remastered Collection includes two beloved games: Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete. The first game follows Alex as he embarks on a quest to become a Dragonmaster and protect Goddess Althena from an evil emperor seeking world domination. The sequel takes place 1,000 years later with Hiro as he searches for Althena while facing foes who label him as “the Destroyer of Lunar.” Both are lengthy RPGs perfect for short play sessions.
While dungeons in Lunar are longer than those in Suikoden, they remain engaging rather than exhausting due to convenient saving options mid-dungeon exploration. If life interrupts my gaming session unexpectedly—like needing groceries—I can easily pause and return right where I left off without feeling rushed or pressured by limited save points.
Another modern touch is that there are no random encounters; enemies appear visibly on-screen allowing players like myself not forced into battles if we choose not engage them at that moment! With this system in place alongside manual saves available at any time during gameplay means if things go south during combat due poor party conditions? Just reload previous saves until better luck strikes!
Engaging Combat Mechanics
When entering turn-based battles within Lunar’s world brings another layer of enjoyment thanks largely due its auto-battle feature reminiscent of Suikoden’s system but improved upon here significantly! The AI performs well enough so most times it selects optimal moves against foes automatically which keeps fights flowing smoothly without constant micromanagement required by players themselves!
As an example when multiple weaker monsters surround stronger ones? My mage Nash unleashes powerful lightning spells targeting groups effectively maximizing damage output across all opponents present simultaneously instead wasting turns attacking lesser threats individually instead!
Additionally there's versatility built into character actions too; unlike Suikoden where every member acts uniformly under auto-battle rules here each character can be assigned different roles based upon player preferences allowing strategic choices tailored specifically towards current situations encountered throughout gameplay experiences overall enhancing depth found within combat scenarios immensely!
Even Luna—the healer—demonstrates extraordinary intelligence knowing exactly when best utilize single-target healing spells versus group-wide ones conserving precious resources especially crucial during intense boss fights where every decision counts heavily impacting outcomes greatly depending upon timing executed correctly ensuring survival rates remain high amongst party members involved throughout encounters faced together collectively working towards victory goals set forth ahead!
