Damn that Victor Ireland. I've always thought he was an ass from the first time I saw him. I was mainly led to believe WD made Lunar because there's a giant Working Designs logo smack in the front of my Lunar 2 T-shirt (which owns by the way, it's got Lucia casting a spell with the other heroes' faces in the back.

I was tempted to stop reading right there.
OH NOES! My favorite character is Nash and you don't approve!

Nash isn't original. He's not even MEANT to be original. How is a stuck-up, pompous, irritating teenage elitist original?
Show me 5 RPG characters that are stuck-up, pompous, irritating (you forgot lovesick) teenage elitists prior to the release of Lunar: The Silver Star. Then I might give that statement an ounce of credibility. A personality you don't particularly like =/= unoriginality.

You're comparing apples and oranges, there. You can't compare Lemina and Mia; you have to compare Lemina and Nash. Each character from Lunar 2 has its counterpart from Lunar SSSC. So: Nash was better than Lemina(as a pompous jerk), and Jessica was better than Jean(I hate Jean). Kyle is better than Ronfar(because he dressed up like a clown girl which was the best part of Lunar SSSC), and in Lunar SSSC you have Nall's piping comments all throughout the game. So no, I don't agree with your character analysis.
Uh...I believe my analysis is very credible. Lemina and Mia are both the nukers/wizards, Hiro and Alex are both the main characters, and Jean and Nash are both the quickies. For added comparison: Leo and Kyle are both the brawny swordsmen, and Jessica and Ronfar are both the healers (I didn't compare those last two in my post, but you get the idea by now, right?) So while we may base our analyses on different criterias, that doesn't mean the way I look at the characters is any less credible. You can disagree with my analysis all you want, but that's not going to change anything.

See, I like Magic Emperor because HE was more original. Motiveless evil is not original.
Gee, so it isn't cuz he looks liek Seperot!11!1 then? You want to really know why I prefer Zophar to the Magic Emperor? (SPOILER)When a villain becomes a good guy, they lose all the credibility they had as a villain. Nothing pisses me off more than a good villain switching sides. Villains are supposed to be evil and ruthless. While this doesn't completely make Ghaleon a bad villain, this does make him lose points in my book. Zophar is scary. He's the type of villain that makes you crap your pants. I don't know how to explain it very well, how should I say this? He's the type of villain that is very unlikely to fail. I don't know if that made sense. If it did, then wow. And any villain that can make the Magic Emperor shake in his boots is damn awesome. Zophar KNOWS he's the trout. He refers to himself as Master of Mayhem and Architect of Anarchy. Besides, the Zophar battle theme owns the Magic Emperor's crappy Go! Go! Go!

I really don't know what this is all about. Are you trying to start an argument or something? I like Lunar 2 more than I like Lunar 1. Deal with it.
