I've only played the GBA version, Lunar Legend. The very beginning had a serious tone, so when I got to when they first meet Quark, and after the group leaves, when Quark turns the "camera" and says "I cannot understand those humans. They call them Dragon Diamonds, but they are my turd . . .", I lost it.

I remember that "music fails to loop" lock up at the Black Dragon well. I always just paused the battle, popped open the Sega CD disc tray and closed it again then waited for the red light to finish blinking. The music wouldn't restart but no softlock at the end.

[@Enoby_Darkness]

wow, this actually worked! just fought this guy like 6 times and it froze every single time until I tried opening and closing the tray.

[@RPGtourguide]

It was all worth it for the musical magic at the end. ;) Haha. Great run!

[@chrisstone-streetlightinte5629]

Did anyone realize that Mia's sprite has an upside down cross on it? I never noticed that before, despite having beaten this game at least 10 times.

[@locustkllr]

i have the PSone versions of Lunar 1 and 2, and this version of the game is blowing my mind, it's got the same elements but it's totally crazy.

[@anachronologist2017]

@Burst Your Bubble This run inspired me to go play the original Sega CD versions. I played the PS1 Remakes when they first came out and it was one of my first RPGs, so I owe it to myself to play the originals finally.

[@KevinEDF]

Please mix the audio. The volume is so quiet and the mics are all different volumes it is hard to listen to without earbuds :(

[@jharvey62778]

Good to know it is not just me who thinks this

[@bongchoof]

one of my favorite runs youve guys have ever had. great commentary!

[@IruleIjust]

They're going to have to rename "Hold-Down Street" now that it's a bad idea to do so.

[@jharvey62778]

Spent so many hours playing this game now I have mixed feelings about a speed run

[@nicholaschisholm7018]

The final boss softlock..... decades later and I am still salty

[@michael2244]

Why is there like no one there 😂😂😂

[@ironbowtie]

ALABASTER SKIN!

[@Panaceamedia]

Saw a bit of this live before having to go to work, glad I got to see the rest! Great energy from High Spirits and the couch. At 2:38:00 , I believe him when he says "we toked earlier." It all makes sense now. What doesn't make sense is Jessica's sprite and icon in the status screen wearing a green cape and white everywhere else. Fun game and great run! Anyone know what happened to Everh8te? Google was no help. Died from a flu or something?

[@DFunct905]

If there's no public memorial info it's likely something people would rather not discuss.

[@gerald216]

Wait now I need to know, what's the lunar game he refuses to run?

[@ConsoleCleric]

Most likely the one on DS, Lunar: Dragon Song. EDIT: Wait, he actually ran that one. Now I'm curious which one he's talking about.

[@IruleIjust]

Lunar Walking School for the Sega Game Gear (Japan only). Even in the speedrun, you wait for long periods of time while your MP regenerates.

[@megamike15]

i can never get used to the color palette of the sega cd version. it just looks weird compared to the remakes.

[@garrtrigger]

Pls do a speedrun of Lunar on the psp.

[@GeneralOlde]

1:37:14 Jessica wears bloomers? I always knew she was Best Girt!

[@projectOMA]

One of my all-time favorite RPGs. Played the hell out of it and the sequel on the Sega CD. Ramus was such a worthless piece of shit and sheisty as hell.

[@bahamut191180]

the remake is so much better but i love thius speed run ^^

[@Tifa-Lockhart]

Making fun of one of the best jrpgs ever... first dislike

[@The24thWight]

Only dislike. At least so far.

[@lonegrimo6098]

cringe worthy at the end

[@Panaceamedia]

Yeah, they could have practiced a little more first.

[@Just.Kidding]

its literally not cringe at all. like jfc it's not a serious fuckin concert recital dog they're just having fun.

[@derekwashuck7691]

Lunar silver star complete for ps1 is way better the cut scenes and graphics for the Sega CD suck ass ! But it's a great jrpg !

[@Bloodyshinta1]

you really comparing a ps1 game to a sega cd game?

[@muccmaster]

This would be ugly even for an SNES game.
