One of the Lunar things I drew on the most recent stream! mewthemew wanted Lunar characters as Animal Crossing villagers, so I went ape. :3

[just-ghaleon]

I think you should draw Lucia!

Okie dokie, here you go, Anon!

Hope ya like it! (Hope you see it, it's been..... awhile..... ^^;;;;;;;;)

[jellybi]

Finished Lucia! Back in the day, something really caught my imagination about Lunar 2 and Lucia in particular. Mysterious girl sleeping in a crystal who can effortlessly obliterate all the enemies you struggled your way past to meet her…

@primiera The free-association is off the rails today.

[selanpike]

ah, lunar, the series about being such an anime protagonist that goddesses fall in love with you

i am HYPE about the lunar remastered collection coming out!!! especially eternal blue, which hasn't been rereleased nearly as much as silver star even though i do think that eternal blue is the superior game.

Dreaming of a place where a tree perches on a cliff with a soft blue marble watching over it.

lunar: eternal blue (sega-cd, 1994).

[indigozeal]

I don't get the point of Rajio Tekunosuke's Aoki Hoshi yori Yatte Kita (It Came from the Blue Star), though it seems to be something along the lines of: "what if Lucia dressed in white, had a partially-sheer outfit & huge honkin' breasts, and was totally DtF?"  Only there is no Fing.  Hiro goes to pick up the Genesis carts Lucia forgot in the Blue Spire, only to have another goddess descend from the Blue Star on him.  Disappointed that Zophar's already been beaten but intrigued by banging a clueless but momentarily-distracted-by-her-assets Hiro, she agrees to his offer of temporary housing till she comes to grips with her redundancy on the Zophar-alarm front.  And...the doujin ends, at all of 12 pages (10 if you leave out the credits).  It's not only Plot What Plot but Porn What Porn.  It's the slightest slip of a beginning of a story, except, as the author notes, one "likely not continued."  Inexplicable, but as Magical School Lunar once noted, the world is deeply mysterious.

Rajio Tekunosuke has an ample portfolio of full-length, less-puzzling Lucia doujinshi, so you're better off tracking down one of the artist's other titles  -  or their extant website.  A lot of links are busted, but poke around, and you can find a list of their doujin, with sample 4-koma comics, and doodles.

my arch nemesis. saint lucia, australia.

[an-aura-about-you]

I've got so many jmart AU and crossover ideas in my head it's unreal.

[pandorkful]

Happy Lunar Week 2024! I draw things on twitch every Thursday at 6pm central, many of them Lunar related and pretty unhinged--here's a sampling!

Please feel free to drop in and throw your nuttiest doodle prompts my way! (Unless there's been a massive solar flare within the past 15 hours, those fuck up my internet! :B) twitch.tv/pandorkful

[just-ghaleon]

Fiiiiinally wrapping up this year's Lunar sketch requests! ^^; Here's Nall and Lucia for Alayna Danner on instagram!!

The image of Nall riding around in a bike basket like a reluctant cat hit me hard and I had to draw it. XD I'm still kinda feeling out this lineless color block style of sketching, but I hope they like it! :3

[kinakoishiyama]

I decided to draw Kin from my Deltarune fanfic New Connection dressed as Lucia from Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete!

[pandor-pandorkful]

Sometimes you don't realize how much you love a character until you've tried drawing them.

For example, Lucia from Lunar 2. I liked her well enough before, but now that I've actually spent some time doing study sketches of her--holy crap I adore her actually??

She's so shapey and fun to draw :3c <3 I seriously love her. >w<

LUNAR Remastered Collection announced for PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC - Gematsu

GungHo Online Entertainment has announced LUNAR Remastered Collection for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam). It includes remastered versions of LUNAR: Silver Star Story and LUNAR 2: Eternal Blue. It will launch in spring 2025.

Get the first details below, via GungHo Online Entertainment America product coordinator Asca Akiyama on PlayStation Blog.

The Series That Started It All

When the games first released in the ’90s, LUNAR was a pioneer of its time, often credited as being one of the first JRPGs to become popular in the West. With the upcoming release of LUNAR Remastered Collection, we invite you to experience (or re-experience) this iconic title that shaped the JRPG genre.

A Timeless Classic, Reimagined

The remastered edition brings a host of exciting upgrades, including widescreen support, enhanced pixel art, high-definition animated cutscenes, and all-new English voice acting. Players can choose to either go old school with the original visuals or go remastered for a more modern look. Plus, a new toggle feature allows players to speed up battles, giving them more control over the pace of their adventure, while improved strategy settings make combat even more convenient. And for the first time in the series, LUNAR will be available in two additional languages: German and French, alongside English and Japanese. This image shows a party battling a Yeti. To the top right of screen, the UI denotes the battle’s speed, as the player can use L2 or R2 to speed up or slow down the clash.

The Adventure Begins – LUNAR: Silver Star Story

LUNAR: Silver Star Story begins in the quiet village of Burg, where a boy named Alex dreams of grand adventures inspired by the tale of Dragonmaster Dyne. Enticed by adventure and treasure, Alex and his friends set off on a quest, but with the sudden emergence of the Magic Emperor who wishes to control the world, it’s up to them to fight the rising evil and save the world from peril. This shows characters conversing with a white dragon. On-screen dialogue from the dragon states: “You may begin, children, Your future now rests squarely in your own diminutive hands.”

The Legacy Continues – LUNAR 2: Eternal Blue

Set 1000 years after LUNAR: Silver Star Story, LUNAR 2: Eternal Blue follows a young adventurer named Hiro, who encounters a mysterious visitor from the Blue Star while exploring an ancient tower. Named Lucia, she insists that she be taken to the ruler of their world, Goddess Althena. Together, Hiro and Lucia encounter the best of allies, the worst of enemies, and the darkest forces of destruction that threaten the whole of creation. This image shows a character hanging upside down from a rope. Flames rage on the floor below them. On-screen dialogue from the character states: “Oh no! The exit’s closing. Hurry!”

the Plot Thickens

The LUNAR series tells a classic tale of a young adventurer with a fluffy sidekick, who falls in love with a girl who may or may not be immortal. What begins as a light-hearted quest quickly takes a dark turn with the rise of an evil villain, subsequently placing the fate of the entire world in the hero’s hands. This timeless story, filled with dragons, swords, and treasures, is brought to life by an unforgettable cast of characters—from a young priestess who acts the perfect heiress at home but has a fiery temper, to a tragic villain who nevertheless has a flair for the dramatic. The games’ straightforward and effortless storytelling, combined with thoughtful character development, gives LUNAR its unique charm and enduring appeal. This shows characters wandering through a woodland village.

Iconic Art

The allure of LUNAR also lies in its amazing artwork in both the anime cutscenes and 2D pixel art. The blend of these two distinct art styles in the battles, events, and anime cutscenes made it a standout title when it first released. Even today, LUNAR‘s ’90s anime aesthetic holds up well in quality, and we’ve polished it even further for this remaster. This retro art style is a rarity nowadays, and playing this game will surely satiate your appetite for ‘90s throwbacks.

Highlights of Ep 482

SPOILERS ALERT

tw: violence, child abuse

"Now I will reveal my darkness. You’re not gonna blame me like a fool and cry. I’m gonna take back what I lost..." - Lucia, "Lunar Phase"

After a series of failed curative attempts, Vin’s mom took him from Seoul to the male shaman in Cheonliang in order to cure his eyes.

The shaman and his team immediately performed the exorcism with goat as sacrifice. Vin’s mom spent a lot for this ritual. Vin’s mom was yelled at for being insincere in her prayers and began praying in earnest.

A little boy was used as the sacrifice in order for Vin to “heal”. He had six fingers in each hand and six toes in each foot. He was stripped naked, tied, and stoned to death.

The villagers treated Vin and his mom with either creepy welcome or open suspicion as to why they left Seoul and came to Cheonliang. Some of them accused Vin’s mom of being a “loose woman” who probably had her son out of wedlock.

Meanwhile, the fraudulent shaman secretly lusted after Vin’s mom.

That night, Vin’s mom woke him up and they both tried to escape the village to no avail. The shaman had stopped the selling of bus tickets in the name of the “Child God” and instructed the ticket seller in advance.

Vin’s mom reported the stoning of the child to the local police station and showed the photo in her phone but instead her phone was taken by the officer on duty, again in the name of the “Child God”.

The bewildered mother and son took a taxi, but even the taxi driver took them back to the Shaman’s house and every other cult follower waited for them there.

From then on Vin and his mom lived in misery and captivity where their every activity was being watched and Vin began calling his life hell.

Not long after, Vin woke up to find his mom dead, hanging from the rafters in his dark room.

After that and since the stoned kid ran away, it was Vin who replaced the stoned kid as the sacrifice totem for the Shaman’s rituals to erase bad luck. He was stripped naked in freezing winter, he was also kicked and mistreated in every possible way.

People came and stare at Vin’s eyes during these (fraudulent) rituals, as he was splashed with animals’ blood to symbolize the driving away of bad luck.

It was then when Vin had his meager meal after a ritual, he met another kid, dark skinned and wrapped up warm. This kid is TAEJIN, the only son of the shaman.

Taejin offered Vin some meal (burger from a certain fast food brand) and was kind to Vin and asked if he felt cold. He even promised to clothe Vin once he became a shaman. Because Vin was his. (Edit: I was mistaken about this earlier. I thought he only meant to save Vin).

Taejin’s life was the opposite of Vin’s because, even though Vin was allowed to go to school, stones were thrown at him and he was called a Monster every day.

Vin tried to stab his polycoria eye once because he was sure it was the source of all of his unhappiness (there’s a photo of his family of three on the table, his parents and him). It’s implied that probably his father was gone (but I’m not sure). Crying in desperation, little Vin wondered what did he do wrong.

Fast forward to Vin’s middle school days where he kept beating people up and grew his hair long to cover his eyes. Kids avoided him in the corridors, whispering that he hated handsome guys because of his inferiority complex.

That day, Vin passed Taejin by in the school corridor but they both said nothing to each other, all traces of their childhood interactions had vanished.

As he pretended to sleep in his classroom, Vin thought he was glad to be alienated, at least nobody came closer.

Rumors reached the school of a monster who lived in a cave in the mountains.

One night, Vin was dragged to work for the shaman again and this time he was stripped naked… and was paraded in the street in front of his schoolmates, while Taejin was sitting far ahead with his shaman father.

From shame and pain, Vin ran away crying to the mountain, begging the Monster of the Cheonliang Mountain to come and kill him instantly.

But a young man came out of the cave, instead of a monster.

This man would in turn become Vin’s future teacher. The King of Cheonliang: YOOK SEONGJI.
