in that case, how about luna and lucia interacting? whether it's luna's older form, her as althena, whatever you want
Sorry to make you wait, had to take a bit of an art break! But I'm all refreshed now, so have some Luna and Lucia Lunacy! OuO

LUNAR Remastered Collection announced for PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC - Gematsu
Tumblr media
GungHo Online Entertainment has announced LUNAR Remastered Collection for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam). It includes remastered versions of LUNAR: Silver Star Story and LUNAR 2: Eternal Blue. It will launch in spring 2025.
Get the first details below, via GungHo Online Entertainment America product coordinator Asca Akiyama on PlayStation Blog.
The Series That Started It All
When the games first released in the ’90s, LUNAR was a pioneer of its time, often credited as being one of the first JRPGs to become popular in the West. With the upcoming release of LUNAR Remastered Collection, we invite you to experience (or re-experience) this iconic title that shaped the JRPG genre.
A Timeless Classic, Reimagined
The remastered edition brings a host of exciting upgrades, including widescreen support, enhanced pixel art, high-definition animated cutscenes, and all-new English voice acting. Players can choose to either go old school with the original visuals or go remastered for a more modern look. Plus, a new toggle feature allows players to speed up battles, giving them more control over the pace of their adventure, while improved strategy settings make combat even more convenient. And for the first time in the series, LUNAR will be available in two additional languages: German and French, alongside English and Japanese. This image shows a party battling a Yeti. To the top right of screen, the UI denotes the battle’s speed, as the player can use L2 or R2 to speed up or slow down the clash.
The Adventure Begins – LUNAR: Silver Star Story
LUNAR: Silver Star Story begins in the quiet village of Burg, where a boy named Alex dreams of grand adventures inspired by the tale of Dragonmaster Dyne. Enticed by adventure and treasure, Alex and his friends set off on a quest, but with the sudden emergence of the Magic Emperor who wishes to control the world, it’s up to them to fight the rising evil and save the world from peril. This shows characters conversing with a white dragon. On-screen dialogue from the dragon states: “You may begin, children, Your future now rests squarely in your own diminutive hands.”
The Legacy Continues – LUNAR 2: Eternal Blue
Set 1000 years after LUNAR: Silver Star Story, LUNAR 2: Eternal Blue follows a young adventurer named Hiro, who encounters a mysterious visitor from the Blue Star while exploring an ancient tower. Named Lucia, she insists that she be taken to the ruler of their world, Goddess Althena. Together, Hiro and Lucia encounter the best of allies, the worst of enemies, and the darkest forces of destruction that threaten the whole of creation. This image shows a character hanging upside down from a rope. Flames rage on the floor below them. On-screen dialogue from the character states: “Oh no! The exit’s closing. Hurry!”
the Plot Thickens
The LUNAR series tells a classic tale of a young adventurer with a fluffy sidekick, who falls in love with a girl who may or may not be immortal. What begins as a light-hearted quest quickly takes a dark turn with the rise of an evil villain, subsequently placing the fate of the entire world in the hero’s hands. This timeless story, filled with dragons, swords, and treasures, is brought to life by an unforgettable cast of characters—from a young priestess who acts the perfect heiress at home but has a fiery temper, to a tragic villain who nevertheless has a flair for the dramatic. The games’ straightforward and effortless storytelling, combined with thoughtful character development, gives LUNAR its unique charm and enduring appeal. This shows characters wandering through a woodland village.
Iconic Art
The allure of LUNAR also lies in its amazing artwork in both the anime cutscenes and 2D pixel art. The blend of these two distinct art styles in the battles, events, and anime cutscenes made it a standout title when it first released. Even today, LUNAR‘s ’90s anime aesthetic holds up well in quality, and we’ve polished it even further for this remaster. This retro art style is a rarity nowadays, and playing this game will surely satiate your appetite for ‘90s throwbacks.

Since Lunar Remastered Collection is coming up Spring 2025, that might turn into a future long hyperfixation. Could also turn a possible rp blog of Lunar muses. Dunno yet. But, highly possible. We'll wait and see.

ah, lunar, the series about being such an anime protagonist that goddesses fall in love with you
i am HYPE about the lunar remastered collection coming out!!! especially eternal blue, which hasn't been rereleased nearly as much as silver star even though i do think that eternal blue is the superior game.

What are your biggest hopes for Lunar 1 and 2 Remastered?
Oh gosh, I think my BIGGEST hope is that Remastered introduces the series to a whole slew of enthusiastic folks who missed out on Lunar due to the series being console-locked for 3 decades. (And that it inspires more fan creations and discussions!!)
Another big hope is that the new script treatment removes most of the worst of the 90's bigotry and ignorance, while broadening the room for more queer and neurodiverse interpretations. (Or at least, avoids stepping on the toes of the interpreters. :B)
Also, if Remastered does well, dare I hope for Magic School to finally get an official translation and release?? (I know there's one animated cutscene that needs to get altered or removed. That scene scuttled a fan translation patch several years ago, due to the team being unable to hack around it successfully/getting into heated arguments over whether it needed to be removed or censored. My assumption is the a full Remastered version of Magic School would be able to do surgery on that part of the game, in ways a fan hack couldn't.)
At the very least, I reaaaallllyyy hope they change Jean's battle cries. But we've already discussed that at length. XD

Evidently, Victor Ireland just gave an interview on the Lunar Remastered Collection in which…some claims were made, apparently. I haven’t listened to it personally, so I’m going to post this summary from Robert Boyd of Zeboyd Games (Cosmic Star Heroine etc.). Boyd is trustworthy, but reminder, given past history: please take everything Ireland claims with a grain of salt.
Summary of what I’ve heard so far: Vic Ireland has been trying to get the rights to rerelease the Lunar games for years. Vic has offered to license the original English translations/voices/recordings for cheap for the new collection, but radio silence. Hasn’t heard back from them. The Sega CD mini - Vic was contacted in advance for Lunar licensing. Vic offered to not only license it but also include a free patch that changed the font so it wasn’t all caps. Vic wanted a royalty (a few dimes per unit). They wanted to pay Vic a small one-time fee that he felt was insulting. He thinks they were expecting more demand in Japan and that they budgeted more money for the Japanese side of things and that other regions were more of an afterthought. Would love to include more extras - he’s got audition tapes, he’s got outtakes that haven’t been heard, etc. Complaining about LRG and how if they do a special edition, it wouldn’t be done as well as something he could do. Doesn’t feel like they have a great track record. Doesn’t want to make a bad situation for Gungho. Don’t want to pressure them. Just letting people know that he’s willing to help and willing to license the stuff he has if they contact him. Mentions Cosmic Fantasy and how the new release is inferior to the Working Designs version. Later versions of Lunar didn’t sell as well as the Working Designs versions. The latest version of Vay was done on their own and didn’t use the WD localization or improvements. Doesn’t think there will ever be a proper Lunar sequel, because Studio Alex was sued out of existence. Some of the people involved are still around, but the team is broken. Saw a document with some basic Lunar 3 ideas, but it never got produced. [Note from indigozeal, not Boyd: I don’t know whether this is the Lunar 0 treatment that Kei Shigema currently wants to produce or not.] Vic says that Phantasy Star 4 coming out on cartridge in US is because of him. Sega of America rejected it, Working Designs tried to license it, and then Sega of Japan said that if WD wants it, why isn’t SoA doing it? And then SoA was mad about being forced to release it so they overpriced it. And Vic made some enemies at SoA then. Ubisoft was doing a version of Lunar, they were just using the WD script because they thought GA owned the rights. At the last minute, they realized they didn’t so GA purchased script rights from Vic, which have been used as a base in future Lunar releases. Vic retained rights to voice performances.
ETA: There's an expanded edition of the notes in this thread, though Tumblr freaks out if I try to post it, plus some folks already poking holes in various claims (such as that it makes no sense to hold out for royalties vs. a lump sum payment on a limited-edition product that has a built-in sales ceiling).
