| Another Lunar Silver Star Story Review! |
|
|
| E-Chan gives us a second opinion of Lunar SSS for the Playstation. He mostly seems to agree with Commodore Wheeler's review except for one aspect: the music. My opinion about the music of Lunar SSS is very similar to E-Chan's so go check out his review here and see if you agree with both of us about the music (if you've played it). - Rudo 4:30 PM EST |

| 2 Reader Written Reviews! |
|
|
| We've got 2 reader-written reviews for you today. One for Grandia and another for Breath of Fire 3. The BOF3 review was written by a good friend of all the editors on the site (Renn Shion) and he's unhappy with the reviews that Breath of Fire 3 has received from magazines and internet sites so go check what he has to say in his review or else he'll turn crazy and try to take over the world (I've seen it happen before to my friend Steve from GameNET) :P. Anyway, click here for Michael Tham's review of Grandia and click here for Doug Hott's BOF3 review. - Rudo 5:00 PM EST |

|
| E-Chan and Commodore Wheeler both sent their reviews of Tail Concerto at the same time so we might as well put them up together. Interestingly, both of them were surprised by this title but not for the same reasons. Apart from the fact that they both liked the game, their opinion on its merits are quite different.

|
| Four big updates to the Monthly Specials section have been put up.
1) A scanned map of the overworld has been put up. Thanks to the owner, Blake, of the Flying Dragon Homepage for the scan!
2) MASSIVE pics update for the Illusion Woods. Careful though, there are some mini-spoilers in this section of pics, so I will start marking each pics section with the word SPOILER for those who would rather not see the spoiler pics.
3) A bromides section has been set up. I have found two of the bromides. One for Lucia, and the other for Jean. If you find any before LunarNET does, let us know so we can slap more of 'em up on the bromides section. Thanks!
4) Another first impression has been added, written by Dragonmaster Dan. Keep those first impressions coming in. You can send them to me.
Also, one note, this update WOULD have been up last night, but my Sega Saturn bit the dust, and I had to replace it. =( But I got a new one, and pics will keep coming at an average of 1-2 sections per day. ^_^ Remember, if your having trouble with the import, just head down to the import board at our message boards section! - GhaleonOne 7:15 PM EST |

|
|
| LunarNET has had a small remodeling. First off, we will be doing a monthly special every month. A piece of artwork with the games logo on it will be displayed on the startup page for LunarNET, and we will cover each game that makes it into our monthly special VERY intensely during its stay as our monthly special. This month (August, I know, it's a little early, but ah well), we are featuring the import Lunar 2 Eternal Blue. I have played some of this game, and it is absolutely breathtaking. We will cover this game more in depth starting tommorrow. But I have already spent the last 5 hours getting pics from the game for you, and now it's up! The first segment of our huge Lunar 2 Eternal Blue Blowout! Click here to proceed! Keep in mind I spent ALOT of time on these pictures, and I want this game to be fully credited like it should be. A lot of gamers don't realize how truly awesome this series is. For that reason, if you want to use any of these pics that I will be posting over the next few weeks (and I'll be posting in the thousands), then feel free to snag them and let people know about this splendid masterpiece. - GhaleonOne 3:45 AM EST |

| Lunar SSS Promo and delay! |
|
|
| Lunar SSS has been delayed, until somewhere around October, but when you read why, you'll be glad! This was posted by Vic(president of WD) on Usenet:
"Our packaging and "extras" agenda got a LOT bigger, as we want
to make this a really special release. As of right now, we
have:
A> A special glossy cardboard "shell" box with art all around
and foil stamping that flips open to show screenshots, etc.
B> Double jewelcase inside said box with 4 CD's in it.
C> 2 game CD's
D> 1 music CD soundtrack with select arranged tracks.
E> 1 video CD for Playstation with a "making of" movie
we're creating for the US release with interviews of
the actors, Japanese development staff, etc, etc.
F> Cloth map.
G> And, NEXT to the double jewel case in the cardboard
shell is a cloth hardbound artbook/instruction manual
weighing in at over 100 pages that will include about
20% of the hintbook as well.
All of this takes time, and we still don't have a firm
handle on all aspects of the packaging (like the book)
and the "making of" movie's production times. 10/16
is EB's guess, but we'll put our best guess on the
webpage soon.

The new dash option has been enabled on the world map so you dont have to walk at a snail's pace like in the Sega/Mega CD version.
Loading time in battles has is almost NOTHING! With only 2 or 3 seconds of loading after each battle.
AI options have been improved in the battle scenes to allow "no magic/items", so that magic points and items are not waisted during battle.
Other features include, the return of the bromides, more game save slots, and most importantly there is a HUGE interview with the creators of Lunar 2 EB Remix, a list of the cast of characters(and for those wondering, they DID get Megumi Hayashira back for Lemina's voice!), and even a little tidbit of info about Lunar 3.

| New FF8 Info! |
|
|
We have some new information about Final Fantasy VIII from our friends at Magic Box:
-
Draw System - The Magic will be replaced by the Draw System, which allows
you to draw magic spells out of the enemies, you can use the magic a number
of times before it is used up. The odds of drawing a magic spell
from enemy depends on you and your enemies' strength, and how well you
mastered the Draw technique.
-
Double - Allows you to cast certain draw magic together to cause double
or more damages to the enemies, but it will cost twice or even more energy.
-
Guardian Force - The Summon spells are replaced by the Guardian Force,
they are beasts that you can summon to protect you, some will take up the
damages for their master, some will give special abilities or magic to
their masters or attack the enemies on their own, when their HP reaches
0, you will not be able to use them for a while.
-
Gunblade - weapon used by Squall, it is both a gun and sword, by holding
R1 when attacking, you will have higher attack power (but Squall will pause
for a while to gather his energy). Squall can also perform combo
moves after a certain point in the story, he can continue to attack until
his combo gauge runs out.
-
Dual Shock - FF VIII will support the Dual Shock controller, vibration
will enhance the gameplay in many different ways.
-
Sony PDA - a rumor said that you can use Sony's PDA on breeding Chocobos
and other creatures in the game.

| New Dreamcast RPG a hoax! |
|
|
| Last night we told you about a new RPG from Edge Creation called Nightmare Saga. We later learned that this company doesn't even exists and that this information was coming from a guy who's been e-mailing Dreamcast fan sites pretending to be from Edge Creations.
Since we never got the e-mail from the guy ourselves, there was no way for us to figure out it was a hoax. After seeing the content of the e-mail that those sites received, I can't understand how they could fall for it. First of all, why would somebody working for a game company e-mail fan sites with exclusive information and
not the big sites like Next-Generation? Also, the e-mail was full of spelling mistakes and bad grammar. However, maybe that's just me. I've always been pessimistic and suspicious so I can understand how people could have fallen for the hoax since it was great news to hear. If you want to tell the guy who started this hoax what
you think of people like him, head over to Dreamcast Extreme where they posted the guy's e-mail address. -Rudo 1:00 PM EST |
