From publisher GungHo:
Originally developed by GAME ARTS for the PlayStation 1 (PS1), the LUNAR Remastered Collection brings the beloved JRPG classics to a new generation with modern enhancements. This remastered edition features a new English voiceover, wide-screen support, high-definition pixel and animated art, and quality-of-life updates, such as customizable battle and strategy settings for streamlined combat. Two additional language options are also introduced, making the game more accessible to fans worldwide.
Whether you’re a long-time fan or a newcomer to the LUNAR saga, this remastered collection will captivate you with its romantic storytelling and breathtaking soundtrack that has made this series a timeless classic. This remaster not only preserves the heart of the original games, but also showcases the LUNAR series’ influence on generations of JRPGs to follow.
LUNAR Remastered Collection Key Features:
- Strategic Turn-Based Action: Play through two magical worlds in LUNAR: Silver Star Story Complete and LUNAR 2: Eternal Blue Complete as you fight it out in turn-based battle style, where each character’s speed, distance, position, and attack range must all be accounted for.
- Powerful Voices and Captivating Animated Sequences: Immerse yourself in battles with fully-voiced attacks and incantations in either Japanese or an all-new English voiceover by playable characters and enemies. Not to mention, the stylistic animated sequences that still capture the hearts of players today.
- Relive the Classic or Go Remastered: Choose between classic or remastered mode — an option that allows fans to travel back in time to the games’ PS1 releases, or see them in a new light with wide-screen support, revamped PS1 pixel art, and high-definition animated cutscenes.
- Two New Language Options: LUNAR Remastered Collection not only includes Japanese and English subtitles and sound, but also two new subtitle language options: French and German.
- Speed up Battle + Improved Strategy Settings: Save time and speed through battles with the flip of a switch! Additionally, new options have been added to the original strategy settings for streamlined combat.
LUNAR Remastered Collection will be available on Steam, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One X, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Digital editions will cost $49.99 USD and physical editions in North America will be exclusively available through Amazon for $54.99 USD.
LUNAR Silver Star Story and LUNAR 2: Eternal Blue were originally localized and released in the West by Working Designs. While the Remastered Collection is being handled by GungHo, in 2016, oprainfall’s Quentin H sat down with GAIJINWORKS’ Victor Ireland, previously of Working Designs, to discuss – in part – his work on the original Western versions of LUNAR.
