30 Days of Video Games Day Five: A game that really reminds you of someone





Magic School LUNAR! Now, here's a game that really reminds me of someone, [livejournal.com profile] krile. You see, this woman is outright obsessed with this game. She knows everything there is to know about it, and that's saying a lot, considering she can't read much Japanese. She not only owns the original Game Gear and Saturn versions, but a Japanese Saturn to play it on. Just for this game.

She got interested in it while we were still just chatting online together, so it's something we both discovered at the same time and share as an interest. That's one of the main reasons it reminds me so much of her. There's also the fact that she will name just about any redheaded video game girl "Elie", when given the chance, after this game's main character. She also modeled her entire Dragon Quest IX party after characters from this game. As you can see, she simply won't allow me to ever forget that this game exist, and that she's the world's #1 fan of it.

Another contributing factor is all the merchandise from this game she owns. She owns a vast majority of all the items ever produced based on this game, which is a rather impressive feat considering she had to hunt it all down online and import the stuff from Japan. She's scanned in countless pages of artwork, and maintained a website all about this game for a long time. If she DOESN'T own something to do with LMS, she knows about it, but just hasn't had the opportunity to get a hold of it yet. She's also got a Youtube channel filled with all the cutscenes ripped from the game, which you really can't find elsewhere, at least not so easily. Yeah, she's dedicated, all right. She's a verifiable expert on this subject.

So that's why Magic School LUNAR! is the easiest damn entry in this meme that I'll ever do, because the answer is so obvious to me. I can't think of this game without thinking of her, they're just forever linked together in my head.

I could have sworn this entry would have been about Final Fantasy 5 and Krile. :)

You'd think so, right? I think that would probably be my #2 pick, just based on the name alone. And yet both she and I have a fondness for FFIV, so I might even rank FFV #3. It gets a lot harder to pick after the first one xD

See, you JUST SO HAPPEN to have a 100% appropriate icon of Elie already made for this situation. You're just proving my point further!

But you made progressing in this meme all the easier for me, so we're even, I guess xD

Oooooh. One day, I will own a Sega Saturn; I know I missed a lot of great games that were only out on that platform (like the Shining Force one, for example). Also, I dearly love the Lunar franchise, minus The One Which Shall Not Be Mentioned.

Oh yeah, I definitely want to play Shining Force III! Although it had notoriously horrendous voice acting, but I'm personally looking forward to that. I have issues xD

Magic School Lunar is a fun game, it's definitely more worthy of a re-release than Dragon Song's mere existence, that's for sure.
