A Japanese sequel to Game Arts' cult JRPG, Lunar 2: Eternal Blue unfolds a warm, polished anime art direction, more ambitious than the first entry. Extended animated cutscenes, expressive character design, colorful villages and varied dungeons make a lively, endearing fantasy world. The FMV quality, exceptional for the PS1, elevates the mature storytelling. An elegant rendering, a JRPG peak on the console.
Noriyuki Iwadare's score shines again in Lunar 2: Eternal Blue. Luminous adventure themes, melancholy melodies and vocal songs performed by the characters make a score of rare warmth and emotion. The careful orchestrations accompany the epic journey of Hiro and Lucia with disarming sincerity. Generous, memorable music, inseparable from the magic of this JRPG peak.
To save a mysterious girl fallen from the sky, a boy from the remote lands confronts a god bent on annihilating the world. Vaster and more moving than its forerunner, this sequel weaves faith, sacrifice and love with rare generosity. Elevated by its animated scenes and its music, it remains a peak of the CD-based RPG.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.
