Hiro
An adventurous young archaeologist who becomes Lucia's companion and the party's central hero.
How it plays
The player explores an overhead world map, towns, dungeons, and story locations from a third-person perspective. Hiro's party investigates ancient ruins, solves straightforward environmental obstacles, speaks with residents, and advances through a linear sequence of events.
Combat is turn-based. Party members can move around the battle area, use physical attacks, skills, magic, items, or defensive commands. Victory grants experience and money, while equipment and level growth improve the party's effectiveness. The adventure is primarily single-player and story-driven.
Plan your run
Keep the party's equipment current in every town, especially weapons and armor for Hiro and Jean. Save before entering major dungeons and use healing items so that MP can be reserved for difficult encounters.
Pay attention to enemy weaknesses and use each character's role efficiently. Ronfar's healing is valuable during long areas, while Lemina's magic can clear groups or exploit elemental vulnerabilities. Explore side paths for chests, but do not neglect the main story because progression is largely linear.

Lunar: Eternal Blue is a Japanese role-playing game developed by Game Arts for the Sega Saturn. It follows Hiro, an archaeological adventurer, and Lucia, a mysterious visitor from the Blue Star, as they become involved in a conflict threatening the world of Lunar. The game combines a traditional, story-focused RPG structure with turn-based battles, exploration, towns, animated scenes, and extensive dialogue. Its presentation emphasizes character relationships and a serialized adventure rather than open-ended exploration. The Saturn release was recognized for its polished audiovisual presentation, expanded storytelling, and ambitious use of animation, although its original availability was limited primarily to Japan.
