Lunar: Dragon Song

A fun but incorrect prequel

Among remaks and remasters, Lunar: Dragon Song stands out as a fully developed prequel set 1,000 years before *Lunar: Silver Star Story*. It maintains the classic game's lighter innocence with a pleasant and enthusiastic role of characters. Despite the capacity of Nintendo DS, Lunar: Dragon Song Missing any of the iconic voice work that the series is known for.

Lunar: Eternal Blue

The classic original sequel for tough CD

Lunar: Eternal Blue is a sequel 1,000 years after Lunar: The silver star. Although there are subtle visual improvements, the overall game and presentation improve. While the voice acts and sound was impressive for their time, they can come across as a little over-the-top and inconsistent compared to modern games.

The introduction of expressed sequences and captivating anime cuts was a news in the early 1990s, but it is more than just a gimmick; It brings the characters to life and adds even more charm to this already entertaining and classic JRPG.

Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete

Reworked voting work and translation

Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete is a huge improvement compared to the original. Although it stays at 2D 16-bit style images, it has lighter and more lively colors, detailed cities, dungeons and monster design. It was the right choice because they were better aged in 2D than if they were changed to 3D. The protagonist, Alex, is no longer silent, and there are changes in Luna's story that help to wipe out her character.

She chooses to join Alex and Ramus instead of staying behind as she does in the original version. The voice acts, animated cutting scenes and the soundtrack remains among the best in the genre. Where many modern games try to be dark, moody and depressing, Lunar Silver Star Story Still feels like a healthy breath with its much needed optimism and innocence is similar to a cartoon show on Saturday morning.

Lunar: Silver Star Harmony

Games, but it's a shame that this full remake, Lunar: Silver Star Harmony, have not left PSP's boundaries and made a part of Lunar remastered Collection. It is the most visually impressive title in the series and is easily ranked among the best JRPGs at PSP. The game adds some backstory to the heroes, Dragonmaster Dyne, Ghaleon, Pirate King, Mel and the leader of Magic Guild, Lemia, when they protected goddess Althena and prevented Eiphel from destroying the world.
