Lunar Remastered Collection Overview

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.

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.
