Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ah, the meaning of life. There's an interesting topic. The true meaning of life is derived from the experience. Unlike other things, we can feel & reflect. Items can't feel & it's impossible to tell if animals other than humans have the ability to remember & evaluate. Since every person is different, the experiences & evaluations are different, so the meaning of life varies from person to person. The most important aspect of that is what one ultimately makes of their life.

no, no, NO! the true menaing of life is.......42!

Gasp! He's right! Except I have yet to read the books,

Future view expected, probably tomorrow. Basically, its what you make of it, don't let yourself be controlled by the masses, public opinion, and, here's one that'll get me killed: Do not allow for a religion to be the main focus of your life. The ideals are great, but the crap fed to you is not.

An excellent question. Personally, I'd like to know more about the race Ghaleon comes from since we never really find out in the first couple of games. There's so much we don't know about him, even though he had quite a bit of development. Maybe the people he comes from have a leaning towards the actions he took. Or maybe he acted in a way completely opposite to the nature of others in his species. Who can say? I'm expecting some kind of base for the Heresey War that the Four Heroes of the first game to be built on in this installment. Ooh, or perhaps some info on Zophar & exactly why it took him so long to try his hand at doing to Lunar what he did to the Blue Star. I think, since this game takes place before the others, there's enough room to comfortably take the story further. It would be the history of the world the first game took place in. We could see the stories of the other dragonmasters. Maybe we'd get to see Vane's original take to the skies. Perhaps we can see Meribia grow from a new seaport to a bustling city. I wonder, though, how knowing what came before the other games will change how we see the Lunars we've played before...

As long as its the same people that made the other ones true masterpeices and they gring back random encounters, I have high hopes for it. 3nodding I miss my random encounters. gonk cry crying

I personally can't wait to see how the story is going to develop in the new game. I know the two Lunar games that are out now gave bits and pieces into Lunar's past, but I would love to see it unfold.

True, I was always hoping that if they made another one, it would be a prequel. I never guessed it would be true!

I'm actually still iffy about the battle system. According to Lunar-Net, "The battle system in Lunar: Dragon Song is quite different from that of previous Lunar games. The biggest difference is the change from five party members to three. The combat area spans both DS screens, and enemies can appear as either grounded enemies on the bottom screen or airborne enemies on the top screen. Regular attacks won't work on airborne enemies, as you must use magic and missile type attacks to damage enemies in the air. Three commands can be used in battle by the player: Attack, Special and Item."
This may not be a bit deal to some people, but the battle system in the PS Lunar remakes were one of the things I really liked about the game. I find three character jump an' slash battles systems very boring, although I know some people may prefer them. What are all your views on that?

Oh, and..." However, unlike those earlier Lunar titles, instead of only having a limited amount of time you can dash, in Dragon Song, dashing depletes your characters HP. When your HP is at 1, you can no longer dash. When contact with an enemy occurs, the battle begins."
Hmm...I'm not sure what I think about that either. I'll have to wait until the game comes out, and see. At least there aren't going to be random battles. (Although, they are doing something weird with two types of battles. I didn't quite get the explaination, and I think it's yet another thing that will be defined better when the game actually comes out.)
