Lunar is a great example of a JRPG of its time. Originally released on the Sega CD, it has been remade three times (not remastered, remade). The game boasts quite a bit of voice acting and animated cutscenes. The soundtrack is memorable, if not a bit repetitive. The boss fights are challenging and will punish you if you don't go in prepared. The localization leaves a bit to be desired, with a lot of pop culture references and lewd jokes having been inserted that were not in the original text of the game. All in all worth playing, but go in with the knowledge that it is very much a game of its time.
