Story
Characters The character of Lunar; Eternal Blue were designed by artist and Lunar veteran Toshiyuki Kubooka . Hiro – a young man and would-be explorer who is skilled with a sword and boomerangs Ruby – a pink, winged cat-like creature with a crush on Hiro who is a baby dragon like The Silver Star' s Nall Gwyn – Hiro's adoptive grandfather, and an archaeologist Lucia – a mysterious and soft-spoken girl from the Blue Star who is skilled with magic and mostly naive of the world's customs Ronfar – a priest-turned-gambler with healing skills Lemina – money-grubbing heiress to the position of head of the world's highest magic guild Jean – a traveling dancer with a hidden past as a prisoner forced to use a deadly form of martial arts against innocent people Leo – captain of Althena's guard and servant of the goddess. While the cast's primary personalities remained intact for the English release, some changes such as colorful language, jokes, and double entendres were added to their speech to make the game more comical. Primary supporting characters include the servants of the Goddess Althena, the creator of Lunar thought to have vanished centuries ago who suddenly appeared in mortal form to lead her people.
Borgan – an obese, self-absorbed magician with his eyes on the seat of power in the magic guild Lunn – a martial artist and Jean's former instructor Mauri – Leo's sister and Ronfar's love interest. Ghaleon (the primary villain killed in the previous game) - the current Dragonmaster, Althena's champion, and supposed protector of the world. His final end reveals that he regrets the evil he committed and does what he can to aid Hiro. Zophar – the game's principal villain, a long-dormant evil spirit who is attempting to destroy and recreate the world to his tastes.
Although his voice is heard numerous times, he remains faceless until the final battle.
Gameplay Systems
Lunar: Eternal Blue is a traditional role-playing video game featuring two-dimensional character sprites and backgrounds. The game is presented from a top-down perspective with players moving the characters across numerous fantasy environments while completing story-based scenarios and battling enemy monsters. Basic game function remains similar to Lunar: The Silver Star , with story segments being presented as both on-screen text and animated cutscenes. Players advance the story by taking part in quests and interacting with non-player characters, which engages them in the story as well as moves the narrative forward.
Battles in Eternal Blue occur randomly in dungeons and hostile areas. Players defeat enemies using standard attacks or magic, with combat ending when all enemies are defeated. Characters must move close to their target or use ranged attacks. The battle system, enhanced from The Silver Star , allows pre-positioning of characters and features improved AI.
Characters gain experience points from battles, leveling up to face stronger foes. After combat, "magic points" are awarded to enhance magical attacks and unlock new skills. Progress can be saved to the Sega CD's internal RAM or a separate RAM cartridge, requiring magic experience points in the North American version.
