The original #SegaCD version of #Lunar The Silver Star remains far and away my favorite version. I dislike the story changes the made to Silver Star Remake, and prefer the battle system of the original. Most importantly, I think the original Sega CD opening video completely, utteraly blows away the #PSX and #SegaSaturn opening videos.
There exists on an OST in japan a very rare full length rendition of the JPN version of the sega CD opening that completely 100% rules: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6QY1vxo_EQ
Lunar: TSS was the 3rd proper JPRG I ever played. My first was Phantasy Star on the SMS, and Shining Force on the Sega Genesis after. I'd also played Ultima prior. Lunar: The Silver Star remains to me the single biggest jump in RPGs I've ever seen. Coming from Shining Force, Lunar was an enormous step up in scope and presentation. One of my all time favorite games ever. The modern perception of the #SegaCD is nothing like what owning one at the time was like.
@OutofPrintArchive it probably comes down to which version you played first, but Silver Star vs Silver Star Story Complete is so different in a death by a thousand cuts way. Lots of small changes which really add up to me preferring the sega cd version. Like the battle theme, I absolutely love the sega cd battle theme. There is indeed a really huge storage change they make midway through which impacts things, but I'd say the minor changes irk me more.
