  Timeless Storytelling
  

  
  The Lunar series is celebrated for its timeless narrative that revolves around a young adventurer, his fluffy sidekick, and a seemingly immortal girl. The story begins with a light-hearted quest but soon escalates as an evil villain emerges, placing the fate of the world in the hero’s hands. This classic tale, enriched with dragons, swords, and treasures, is brought to life by a memorable cast of characters. From a young priestess with a fiery temper to a tragic villain with dramatic flair, the characters are thoughtfully developed, making the storytelling feel effortless and engaging.
  
  
  
  

  Iconic Artwork
  

  
  One of the standout features of the Lunar series is its captivating artwork. The game combines detailed 2D pixel art with anime-style cutscenes, creating a unique visual blend that was revolutionary at the time of its initial release. Even today, the ’90s anime aesthetic remains appealing, and the remastered version has polished this art style to shine even brighter. This retro art style is a delightful throwback for those nostalgic for the ’90s era.

With great pride, we announce the return of the Lunar series to PlayStation with the Lunar Remastered Collection.
