I also feel like you have to read to have a deeper understanding to Luna. The most amazing thing about VN is to put yourself into the eyes of a character a live their story. Luna's chapter does a good job providing that.

It is a waste in my opinion to avoid it. But I can understand it, I guess. So I guess I am wrong and the short version is fine for impressionable people. I mean, to have the option and not pick it is always an at least as good alternative, it is just that so much is lost by reading the short one. Like going to a rollercoster park and not picking the most thrilling ride.

There is probably a reason why My name is Luna is the player's favorite chapter.
No you're not wrong in your analysis at all. The player (through MC) does not fully get to understand Luna until that chapter, and the full version of it basically peels back all the layers of Luna's psyche, the trauma where she feels really vulnerable and isn't comfortable in sharing with others.
The full version also conveys the entire impact and emotional feels that she went through and it is the version that I'd recommend to any new players of the game (unless they are really intolerant of stories with dark, grim elements).
Short version, while giving the gist of what happened, just lacks the whole emotional punch (which full version has).

That's not surprising, since the full version is Hopes' true version (of what he probably expects most of his playerbase to experience). But I don't mind that he gave an option of short version. Sure, I'll always be going through the long version and will probably never really care about the short version, but I guess it's there as an option for those other people, and personally I enjoy Hopes shutting down those who complain saying "Did you even read the disclamer? The short version is there for a reason." :LOL: :ROFLMAO:

Might be a good opportunity for another chapter in the life of Filius Canis

the favorite chapter is the promise when Luna gives MC the gun and in her character profile, you can read "he did it, he really did it'
I love regularily checking the character quotes, commenting on the story and adding a great extra layer. I am always afraid however that the order in which I play the game (main quests vs character quests) may make me miss out on some.

whenever you start this game, take heed to Hopes' disclaimer before that story. Because if you don't and go through the long version, and if it's not to your liking (majority of fans [including myself] love it, but there are some who don't), you'll probably regret it.

It was funny before how some people read the disclaimer, but dismissed it and then complained right back at Hopes here afterwards saying "My name is Luna" was too dark. LOL

Yeah, as everyone has been saying Max1276 whenever you start this game, take heed to Hopes' disclaimer before that story. Because if you don't and go through the long version, and if it's not to your liking (majority of fans [including myself] love it, but there are some who don't), you'll probably regret it.
Just to be clear, I love long version. Would not change it a bit and it explains a lot about .. well ... her.

As a father of 3 with 2 girls this kind of story hits hard.

Still great story telling there! Want more!
And no disrespect to any other Lady in the game, after my protective instinct kicked in its Luna, all others are fine to be around but can go dust the sun

I find myself going back through the replays in gellery, checking quotes, and try to find anything that I might have missed the first time.
That's how I noticed Luna's mention of TJ the gunsmith, at the Musala Hill (Bees) event. Hopes originally had no plans for him, but after I asked him, he said he might add him. Not a definite yes, but not a definite no either, so I'm somewhat optimistic about that (though even if he decides not to add TJ, I'd understand).

Come to think of it, here's another question of similar nature to HopesGaming:

1) There's another character that I'm wondering about after watching the Replay of "Can I have this?" chapter (Chapter where MC captures Eiza, the Carnefice Family assassin girl).
Any possible future plans for the DeLuca Family's female interrogator, who Wilfred didn't wake up (to interrogate Eiza) cause "ladies need their beauty sleep"?
With DeLuca, whenever an unknown character gets mentioned in the game by either any of the main cast or other characters, I guess curiosity gets the better of me, & I get the urge to ask you something like this. ;) Hope you don't mind.

She will appear.
Can't promise how big of a role she gets tho.
With this game, we're going to meet a large variety of people and I don't want the mindset of feeling that each meeting has a bigger part than it has. Tho, maybe she gets a big role! We see when we get there because at the moment I don't know either, heh.

where are the save data is hiding? i cant play anymore until i delete it. the game has no more writinglines.
(a) You can overwrite old saves
(b) When hovering over a save game and pressing DEL, Ren'Py games usually give you an option of deleting saves in game
(c) there's two places where Ren'Py games are saved, one in the "game" subdirectory, one in (username)/appdata/roaming/renpy. You will have to delete files in both of them to really get rid of them.

(d) you can recover deleted files from the trash can unless you emptied it
(e) wait for the new version with a restart, will force you to start anew anyway

No unicorns either. And I have been annoyingly reminding Hopes about them.
Speaking of Unicorns & Dragons, I'd actually love to see them in Hopes' The Witcher renders in DeLuca Family style (if that is something he's interested in of course).

Wilfred Geralt & Cordia Yennefer with the

I'm in the midst of Portend. I just got the creepiest feeling.
Uncle Moustache?
He is an enigma...
Also, Chekov's Gun of wondering who would win if Grace and Luna would fight.Another portend.

I just played through this for the first time in a long while and went through My Name is Luna for the first time.

The full version was rough, I was really glad that I went into it somewhat mentally prepared based on the comments in this thread. I look forward to future updates and getting some revenge with my poor girl.

Great story and thanks for the game.

I'm with Wilfred, Gracie and Luna won't ever fight, MC needs to stop being a jinx.
