I wasn't even aware of the existence of the Ghaleon punching puppet until this thread, but I'm suitably impressed now I've had a quick search to find out about it.

I loved Lunar: SSSC. Annoyingly difficult in places, but sufficiently entertaining to keep my interest throughout the entire game. I think the locales and characters are all interesting and reasonably vivid, the soundtrack is excellent, and the storyline isn't too shabby either. I've not really played Eternal Blue, but might do eventually.
