Introduction

Welcome to a tale that brings together the excitement of JRPGs and enough plot twists to make your head spin. Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete isn't just a game; it's an epic adventure through a fantastical world brimming with more drama than a soap opera, complete with intense battles that will have you yelling at your screen like a fanatic sports fan. Strap in; this ride is about to get bumpy, folks.

Gameplay

Eternal Blue Complete is like that friend who insists on explaining the plot of an obscure movie before you watch it. You're in for a journey filled with nostalgia and character development, where you'll guide Hiro, an enthusiastic sword-wheeling chap, and his band of misfits on a quest to save the world from absolute doom (no pressure!). The battles are turn-based, which gives it all the action of a chess match but with way more spell casting and the occasional explosion. Notably, you level up like an absolute champ. Each encounter drops experience points and magic points, and with these, you can unlock new skills! But remember, it's not just about punching things at random-strategic placement and wise decision-making is critical. The first time I waltzed into an enemy encounter thinking I was hot stuff, I learned the hard way why the game encourages patience and tactical thinking. Remember, it's not just about how big your sword is, but how cleverly you wield it. On that note, if you dive into combat too confidently, you might find yourself staring at the 'Game Over' screen more often than you'd like. But fear not; this is a chance to hone your skills! You can save your progress, which brings us to an interesting mechanic where saving actually costs magic points in the US version. That's right, players: expect to think before you commit to saving! A bold design choice that will have you sweating bullets deciding when to save your progress.

Graphics

Graphically, Lunar 2 shines like a diamond amidst a pile of gravel. The enhanced graphics incorporated in Eternal Blue Complete make the sprite work and environments feel more alive. And let's not forget the animated cutscenes! These segments are prettier than a cat meme on the internet, and trust me, that's saying a lot. It doesn't exactly push the PlayStation's hardware to its limits, but it definitely dresses to impress. You'll catch yourself staring at the adorable character designs with a grin plastered on your face.

Conclusion

In summary, Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete is an unforgettable RPG experience that combines challenging gameplay, narrative depth, and graphics that are still super sweet years later. It's an invitation to explore an engaging story without too much hand-holding-perfect for those who enjoy a hearty challenge. So grab your controller, summon your skills, and dive into a world where saving can cost you and every battle is a lesson in strategy. Just remember, in the world of Lunar, failure is just a prelude to glory. Until next time, happy adventuring!
