I was actually referring to Silver Star Story, because your list clearly showed what Legend was missing compared to the PS1 version. Sorry, that wasn't clear at all.

You played Eternal Blue before playing the first game? Man, you screwed up. So much of the emotional impact of EB's story depends on the player's knowledge of the events of TSS/SSS. In fact, if you don't think EB had a good story, that's probably why.
I played Lunar Legend about a year or two before playing Eternal Blue, and probably forgot nearly all of the details. Some parts of it (Eternal Blue) were okay, but others just felt so amazingly cliche. The pure evil creature out for world domination? The young adventurer out to become a hero? The power of the human heart? It was just amazingly predicatable. Funny thing is, I found the battles somewhat boring, had to level up more than I would've liked, and didn't like the story too much...but I still had quite a good several days playing the game. The characters were very fun, and the dialogue had a lot of flair. I suppose that was the game's strong point. I'd like to play the new one if I ever get a DS.
Lunar SSSC (PS1): one of the best RPGs ever made.
Lunar 2 EB: a solid game, worse voice-acting (though any voice-acting game compared to SSSC is crap, because Lunar SSSC had awesome voice-acting), somewhat cliched.
Lunar Legends: rehashed version of Lunar SSSC. Cuts corners a lot in the story, no voice-acting, somewhat boring. A solid GBA RPG, but nothing special in and of itself.
Oh sure, go forget the incarnation on the Sega CD. But, the most likely and best one to get your hands on is SSSC indeed. Who has Sega CDs around these days? :|
I got a question. What's so kick ass about it?? And if it's that cool Im gonna get the used copy (50+ damn buck's!!) and well. Have the time of my life...
It has superlative characters, art design, voice acting, writing, music, and gameplay.
I thought it was like a childrens book adopted to a video game. I loved it none the less. I would definatley say it is worth that price, espesially if you get the Ghaleon (god i suck at spelling) boxing hand puppet.

The Ghaleon punching puppet went out with pre-orders of L2:EB, not SSS. But if someone were selling SSS with the puppet, hey, no harm done. It's without a doubt the most justified result of Working Designs's tendency to pack their releases full of impractical baubles.
So kishi. You claim it's your favorite RPG made?? If so I believe and trust you and I shall buy it!!
No, my favorite RPG is Square's Tom Sawyer.
XD Oh yeah non square RPG. Fine!! Second fav?? Nevermind that just to get back on topic. So it's good right??
Yes, Kishi, please firmly re-establish what you've been saying this entire thread.
Doh,The Ghaleon punching puppet went out with pre-orders of L2:EB, not SSS. But if someone were selling SSS with the puppet, hey, no harm done. It's without a doubt the most justified result of Working Designs's tendency to pack their releases full of impractical baubles.It's been so long since I got mine, I though it came with sss. But yeah, I kinda love all the stuff you get with thier releases. The necklace was like the ultimate ghettosized RPG nerds dream.
Also,wasn't Squares Tom Sawyer a side scrolling game?

I played the "complete" version. I agree that it's pretty much a story-book, so don't expect deep gameplay. The charm in a Lunar game is all about the music and characterization. I'm not sure there's a game out there that lets you get to know your characters better than Lunar. I can't judge a game strictly on that, but as far as that goes, I'd put it up there with Xenogears. I mean you spend ~40 hours with these people, and you're basically right there with them, having fun the whole time. Its hard to describe.
