So far, um… I’m playing a 90’s fantasy anime and it’s wholesome as shit.

    What a gem, my friend and I played through the first 2 lunar games in university.

    I also discovered wild Arms which was pretty good and doesn’t get much attention compared to jrpgs like FF and Suikoden.

    I loved Lunar. I wound up playing the second one first. Then went back to play the first.

    An absolute delight. That’s the very game that got me into RPGs. Until I copped Harmony on PSP my brain focused on nothing but Halo and COD.

    I bought this game solely based on the full page ad in Playstation magazine. I put my hard earned cash down on a pre-order of the complete edition at “Software, Etc.” at the shopping mall, sight unseen, with FF7 my only frame of reference on JRPGs. Definitely my favorite JRPG from my childhood.

    My only regret is selling it, along with a Ghaleon puppet, on eBay a few years back.

      Software, Etc

      Holy shit, core memory unlocked. I completely forgot that the Gamestop at our local mall was previously “Software, Etc.”

      Goddamn.

      I regret selling all of my PS1 and PS2 games. Back when the other (standalone) Gamestop in my town growing up was still a “Funco Land,” I found used copies of Tactics Ogre, and Ogre Battle (I think it was a two-disc Special Edition or something?) on PS1 for very cheap, and then sold them on eBay for like $150. I remember thinking I was so clever… Now I wish I had just kept them.

    Yep, it’ll meet those expectations (and probably not exceed them).

    As for being wholesome, well…there is a small part of the game that’s on the pervy side.

          I haven’t played through that one, but if the demon “Mara” is in it, then you bet your ass it’s horny lol.

          Giant pulsing/dripping cock on wheels.

          Well, plus all the other lady demons basically being naked. I believe most SMT games have succubi of sorts, and horniness is like their one known trait.

        Like what Lunar does? It’s pretty rare outside of the ecchi/outright eroge subgenres.

      Remind me of the pervy part? There’s a chance my hormone riddle brain found it acceptable and not noteworthy and have since forgot.

        spoiler

        There are bromides (pictures) you can collect of the girls in the game.

        Most of them aren’t outright risque (it’s not like The Witcher 1, nor is the context), it’s mostly the concept itself that’s a little out of place.

    One of the better JRPGs ever done.

    Follow up Lunar 1+2 with Suikoden 1+2, then Golden Sun 1+2.

    (Optional) Phantasy Star 1-4.

    After that, you really don’t need to play any other JRPG.

    I sometimes still hum the opening theme to Silver Star Story from my time playing the OG on PSX when it released. The game is just wonderful, hopeful, and fun. Enjoy!

    I can’t answer your question, but I have the RG35XX H arriving in a week, and you may have just inspired the first game to play when I get it. 😊

    I actually owned Lunar 1 and 2 back in the day but never got around to playing them.

    I lost my Miyoo Mini in Greece and want to buy another.

    It’s noticeably better than the 35XXsp I got to replace it.

        The buttons on the Miyoo are much better. There are videos on disassembling the SP and putting tape over the buttons to try and fix them.

        GarlicOS is much better on the Miyoo compared to SP stock or Muos. It’s a super quick save/power off/boot/restore so when you hit power you are back in your game but because it’s a real power off instead of sleep, you always have power. (Which is why I stopped using my Restroid.)

        The SP can do save/restore but it’s slower. The power button is particularly weird. You press power, wait two seconds, light comes on, then it boots.

        The only thing the SP has going for it is the form factor.
