Translation Game Gear

Lunar: Sanposuru Gakuen English translation

ルナ ~さんぽする学園~ · Lunar: Walking School

Aeon Genesis's English translation of Lunar: Walking School, the lighthearted Game Gear side story that never left Japan.

What's translated

Aeon Genesis translated the whole game into English: dialogue, battles, spell and item names, menus and descriptions. You follow Ellie and Lena as they arrive at the island school of Iyen and work through its chapter-by-chapter stories.

What to expect

The game is gentler than the main Lunar entries. Each chapter is largely a self-contained story, which makes it easy to pick up and put down. Battles are quick and magic matters a lot, with many ways to restore MP and spells far stronger than plain attacks, though the translator warns that the random encounter rate gets high later on.

Playing it

Version 1.00 came out in December 2009. Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese Game Gear cartridge following the instructions on the Aeon Genesis project page.
