Lunar: Eternal Blue/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny|"Seinfeld" Is Unfunny]]: Alongside ''[[Breath of Fire II]]''. Hard to believe that these games were actually [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] with their [[Corrupt Church]] plots. While much [[Lighter and Softer]] than ''Breath of Fire II'', it still had that plot in a time when it was uncommon.

** The translation itself: at the time, a ''lot'' of translations were simple literal translations, sometimes with a [[Blind Idiot Translation|"Blind Idiot" Translation]] thrown in here and there with proofreading being somewhat limited. Working Designs was one of the first companies to attempt to produce a more cultural translation, change sentences around (so they made more sense), removed jokes and references that would confuse American viewers, ''and'' change NPC dialogue around so they had more to say. What would have been a [[Woolseyism]] in the 1990's wouldn't exactly fly today.

* [[That One Boss]]: Borgan in ''Eternal Blue.'' He has a spell that, if cast twice without healing, results in a [[Total Party Kill]]. And he's fast enough that you couldn't be guaranteed a chance to reactively heal in between castings, nor did you have the MP to toss out the healing constantly. This was only in the SegaCD version, though. The remake toned down both his speed and damage to the point where he became an [[Anticlimax Boss]] to anyone who'd played the original.

** While Borgan was [[Nerf|underwhelming]] in ''Eternal Blue Complete'', his companion "dragon" (the Black Fiend) ascends to [[That One Boss]] status in his place through sheer annoyance. Its speed can beat out Jean (the party's fastest character), and its favorite move, an Affect-All MP drain, tends to "suddenly" (read: only for this attack) be that fast every time. And to top it off, the best defense against this, White Dragon Protect, costs a whopping 60 MP, and is best equipped on Jean, forcing one of your best attackers into a defender/support role. You're in for a long fight.
