I'd like to take this chance to explain a bit about myself and making this walkthrough. Before I say anything, I'd like to thank you for taking a look at this page, and using this walkthrough in general; I hope it's of use to you.
Now then, my name is Kaiser Farooque, the name "Kizyr" is what I go by online most of the time. My email address is . I also frequent the LunarNET Message Boards, and do a lot of the updates over at LunarNET, where this walkthrough itself is hosted. I completed the first version of this walkthrough in 1999. I began studying Japanese in 1997. Around 2006, quite randomly, I decided to go back through and correct everything about the walkthrough; considering that I knew very little Japanese back then, and wasn't as keen on layout, there was a lot to fix up. So, I rewrote the entire walkthrough from start-to-finish, corrected all the errors in the characters page, re-did the layout for several pages (notably the magic and items pages), and fixed up some of the images. (To give you an idea of how old the walkthrough was: all the filenames were 8 characters or less in length.) The most significant change, I think, is with the content of the walkthrough itself. There were a lot of errors, big and small, with my interpretation of the story back then (I've decided to summarize them below, for those of you who've used this walkthrough in the past). |
About the walkthrough itself. The game is divided into 12 chapters; the walkthrough is divided along the same lines. Each chapter page (1 to 12) explains (a) how to progress through the story, (b) how to progress through dungeons, and (c) a general explanation of the story and what's going on. Progression through dungeons is highlighted by boxes--if you want to skip those and explore dungeons yourself. The walkthrough is written so as to avoid premature spoilers, but the best way to avoid spoilers is simply not to read ahead very far. Finally, the screenshots on the side have embedded translations (meaning that in Internet Explorer you can hover over them to read a translation, or in Firefox you can right-click then click Properties).
There are also five gameplay sections. The Menus page explains the layout of the various menus and basic commands. The Academy page has a map of the two main towns in the game. The Characters page describes all the major and minor characters in the game. The Magic Spells page lists the magic spells and effects for each of the main characters, and the Items page lists the usable items you can obtain or purchase in the game. |

LunarNET, which hosts this site and is the best Lunar resource around. | |
Zophar's Domain, and emulation king Zophar, for introducing me to the game itself in the first place via the Lunar-L mailing list back in 1998. | |
Several people on the old Lunar-L and other places across the internet, including but not limited to: GhaleonOne, Naflign, Zophar, Rune, and Hatless Dezorian | |
For Japanese resources, back in 1999 one program I found extremely useful was Transparent Language's program: Power Japanese. It's an excellent resource if you're just starting out studying the language. For general use, I also recommend Jim Breen's WWWJDIC as an excellent Japanese-English dictionary resource. | |
For Lunar resources, besides LunarNET, there are several classic Lunar sites that stand out. First is the Shrine to Ghaleon, one of the earliest Lunar sites on the internet, and the longest one that's still-running (10 years and counting). There's also TheBlueStar, which has long since been offline, but was a great resource back when it was up. |
