I know it's asking too much, but man would I love it to be the Sega CD versions. I have the PS1 titles right here and I haven't been able to play the Sega CD ones since '97 or so.

No word since Gaijinworks established a thing with them.

Grandia wasn't terribly translated. Some of the voice acting was a bit iffy such as the battle quips and a few characters but overall the character dialog text and npc dialog was full of charm and read nicely. Nothing like Wild Arms 2 or anything of that level of trashiness. I didn't think it was bad at all.
Would be nice if it were tweaked a bit, at a minimum the censorship undone. Kids going to a cafe that specializes in coffee isn't scandalous at all, especially in this day and age of taking kids to Starbucks for frappucinos, and Grandia doesn't have the strange, surreal angle to it that Earthbound does.

Please god, not the garbage PSP version of Lunar.
Please please be the PSX version.
But I'll settle gladly for the Sega CD one.
Ghaleon is still one of my favorite villains of all time.

My greatest regret is that I've already played Grandia and both Lunars (PSX versions), so I cannot come to them new. I was very satisfied by Gungho's Grandia II release and the support they provided. I'll tell you this - If we were to get hard modes like on Grandia II, I'm sure as hell double dipping. No question. Instantly.
Also like to echo that... maybe everyone should play Grandia. GameArts is a fantastic company that put so much love into their RPGs, and Grandia may be representative of them at their peak. If you want an adventure, play Grandia. Play any of their games really, but Grandia I think is the best. *cue discussion on what the best GameArts title is*

You know, I played Grandia II on Dreamcast and absolutely loved it. A top RPG of mine. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to Grandia I.
I'll always have a soft spot for Lunar, but Grandia does possibly epitomize the best traits of their peak years (great combat system, endearing adventure story.) The field/dungeon "music" is trash though compared to Lunar and Grandia II.

Would love to get Sega CD based Eternal Blue and Saturn based Silver Star Story, although I'll buy any version of Lunar that comes out.
I've always meant to play Grandia and this would give me a very convenient way to rectify that.

I own both on the PS1 but would buy them on Steam if this ever happened.

Remember liking these games lot on the ps1. I will definitely will buy them again. But will never have the time to play them.

I hope Lunar 2 makes it. I have enough copies of Lunar 1 (even if the only one I actually beat was the not so great GBA version).

Silver Star Story has a Japanese Windows port I don't know much about. Not likely they'd use it.

Oh, haha. Guess it was just in the profile.
Anyway, not to be mean towards the Gungho folks, but people are saying the PSP version of Lunar was bad (I have played none of the versions so I don't know if that's true, however), so uh... do we really want them to handle this? >_>
Still just sounds like noise, albeit at least that can add to the mystery of an area rather than whateverthefuck the other 90% of those tracks are.
I think the second one was just "Junior Member" at the time actually, so it's a mistake that DOES make sense without further investigating.
Twist is that it really is a fellow employee being an asshole to a co-worker.
I love this clip SO MUCH.

Well we don't know what version they are potentially bringing. They presumably own the rights to earlier versions too.

You could do worse as I recall, the GBA version was received pretty badly. But the opening bit added is unnecessary and kind of lame really, nevermind it spoils a twist (arguably two actually I think) so it's more for series veterans anyway.

It's not the worst Lunar Silver Star port so if you are new to the series, you might actually enjoy it, flaws and all. The rest of us who played the previous iterations hate the PSP port.

I always want to play Grandia because it's the only game in series that I didn't play.
Silver Star Harmony is the only Lunar game I've ever played. It is surely good, but a bit on the easy side. It's one of the weakest JRPGs I played on PSP though.

The voice acting is very questionable but the actual translation is pretty good. Noticeably better than the average RPG translation of the era in any case.

Yeah, I remember that I kinda hate the first few hours of Grandia. But I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the game.
I meant VA wise. I did enjoy the first few hours somewhat but I admit, on subsequent playthroughs, it's pretty annoying doing it all again. So slow going during the first hour or so
My favourite part of the first few hours is that ruin with those
3 girls. Forget the names but yeah.
But later on is a lot more fun yeah. Though I do miss
Gadwin when he leaves. One of my favourite non-perma characters.

I don't quite remember how the VAs was after all these years lol.
I'm excited to replay this later.
