    Curse you, Curtis! Don't you know my willpower is weak! And I have the new Zelda and a Switch waiting for me at home too! I'm gritting my teeth here. Chances are, I'll have bought Lunar before next weekend...

    Yeah I was really sad when I bought Harmony and found out my 2 favorite songs had the lyrics changed and that some of the voices didn't sound the same as on my PS Complete one by Working Design. Also if I remember correctly some of the fan service art pictures can be easily missed. I had to replay the original to get them all. So if you are a completionist you might want to check a FAQ for where those are.

    Heck, $11 for a Community experience and a 'special' game recommended by Shaun...and roughly 30 hours play time...what a deal! I'm in.

    Even though I'm time poor, I can't wait to see where this takes us!

    This is my favorite RPG of all time though, followed by Disgaea, FF9 and World of Final Fantasy.

    One thing I wanted to warn everyone though is to try not to spoil the major twists in the story. This was the game where I spoiled a twist for a friend and he never played more of the game because of it. #

    I'm in. Never played Lunar before, so am very excited to be doing so alongside the TA community. Download has finished. Wife asleep - let's rock!

    Just finished up the Cave of Trial at level 14 - a very near thing on the boss fight considering the restrictions in place. Now exploring the city beyond.
    Testing spoiler tags in case I need them soon.

    Mostly difficulty balancing. Enemy stats, behavior, and drops were a little more tilted against the player in WD's version. Touch also reflects the JP version's small number of save files rather than the WD version's 15 save files.

    I just thumped the boss of the Islet at level 16/16/14/16. Thoughts:

    Do you have a flame staff? Your attack mage can use it as an item for good damage.

    Be liberal with one of your healer's MP usage, and conserve the other. I suggest attacking with your newest healer in the random battles and save her MP for the boss. Alex and Nash can take care of the boss by themselves, especially if Alex has his attack boosted one way or another.

    Good grief! 2/3 characters slain by slimes in my first encounter :eek:

    Promptly followed that up with a TPK at the hands of...flies?!?! Oh the shame of it.

    ok, I figured out the screencap problem. Lunar saves as .png and I think the file size is too big or the dimensions are. Either way, cropping them just a hair causes iOS to resave as a jpg. Thus, please enjoy this picture of scenic downtown Meribia. I will have more relevant screens later. Also: can you spoiler lock screencaps? I rarely do attachments here.

    *Signing up* Great choice! I have started it many times, but the timing has never been right for it then. It would be great to finally fonish it! Thinking of how I somehow turn my playtime into the double of expected I will probably have to expect 60 hours lol. Seriously. How ever have I not beaten the final boss of FFIV after over 60 hours of playtime!

    Save often, folks. I just had to replay a segment of Hilariously Overpowered Guest Character Theater because the game crashed out of the item use menu.

    On the saving note, is anyone else having issues with the game not saving in the slot you're clicking? Maybe this is only an issue in landscape mode, but the save file keeps migrating anywhere from 1-3 slots lower than I click.

    Nope, still doing it to me even in Portrait mode (iPad Air 2, 9.3.5). Oh well. Portrait is a better way to select enemy targets in combat for sure, though, so I might use it more often.

    I made some more progress this morning while keeping a watchful eye on my baby daughter. Got through the southern puzzle tower and met the folks in Reza with their abundant shopping opportunities. I don't have anywhere near enough money for all their weaponry, so I prioritized swords and maces for now. Moving on to the next dungeon, which has a fire motif. All party members level 21.

    The forest near the onsen is a lot harder than I remembered. I had to burn through Alex's MP to get through it, and it's only one screen long!

    Mine is working fine. Saves where ever I choose. Strange.

    I'm probably going to be far behind everyone this month. I haven't made it to the second town yet. I got my Switch yesterday and can't tear myself away from Zelda. It's pretty amazing.
