Lunar Remaster Collection Is Here – Silver Star Story & Eternal Blue Return!

The Wait Is Over: Lunar JRPG Classics Get a Glorious Remaster

Alright, let me just say it right off the bat — I screamed when I saw the announcement. The Lunar Remaster Collection is finally here, and I’ve been counting down the days like a kid before their birthday. I don’t care if my backlog is already bursting at the seams with 100-hour RPGs and games I swore I’d finish “soon” — everything is getting put on hold.

If you grew up loving JRPGs (or just love a good story-driven adventure), this is one of those rare moments when the stars align. Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue are back, all polished up with shiny new visuals, better sound, and modern quality-of-life fixes. No more excuses — if you missed these gems back in the PS1 or Sega Saturn days, now’s the time to fix that mistake.

Two Iconic JRPGs, One Glorious Package

Let’s talk about what’s inside, because this is a dream come true. You’re getting:

• Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete
• Lunar 2: Eternal Blue

Both were absolute legends in the 90s JRPG scene. They had animated cutscenes (rare at the time!), full voice acting, epic soundtracks, and stories that punched you right in the feels. Now they’ve been lovingly remastered with upgraded graphics, better audio, and tweaks that make these classic games way more comfortable to play in 2025.

My History with Lunar (AKA the Tragedy of '06)

Alright, time for a little heartbreak. I’ve got some real history with the Lunar games, and it still stings to talk about. Back in the early 2000s, I had both Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue in my prized PS1 collection. I’m talking mint condition — jewel cases uncracked, manuals perfectly crisp, even the maps were untouched and neatly folded like the treasures they were. I babied those games like collector's items... because they were.

And then, in 2006, they were stolen. Gone. Vanished. Ripped from my shelf and out of my life forever. To this day, I’ve never fully recovered from that loss — those games meant a lot to me, not just because they were rare, but because of the memories. I never actually beat either game back then (thanks, life), but I put in enough hours to fall head-over-heels in love with the characters, the humor, the music... just everything.

That loss hit deep. But now? With this remastered collection out, I finally get to go back and finish what I started. It feels like a full-circle moment, and honestly, it’s kind of beautiful. This re-release isn’t just for the fans — it’s for the fans who lost something and are finally getting it back.

What Makes Lunar So Special?

If you’re wondering what makes Lunar different from the dozens of other “save the world” RPGs out there, let me break it down: it’s all about heart, humor, and worldbuilding. In Lunar: Silver Star Story, you play as Alex, a wide-eyed small-town kid with big dreams of becoming a Dragonmaster — basically, the ultimate protector of the world. Alongside his loyal friends (including a sarcastic, floating cat-dragon named Nall), he sets off on an adventure that quickly turns into a battle against dark magic and destiny itself.

The journey feels familiar in all the best ways, but it’s the execution that makes it sing. The dialogue is witty, the pacing is just right, and the emotional beats sneak up on you — one minute you’re laughing, the next you’re fully invested in the fate of this world.

Then there’s Lunar 2: Eternal Blue, set a thousand years later, where you play as Hero and the mysterious Lucia, who claims to be from the Blue Star and may or may not be a harbinger of doom. The sequel builds perfectly on the lore and introduces a richer, more mature story. But please — do yourself a favor and play Silver Star Story first. The callbacks, character arcs, and Easter eggs hit way harder when you’ve been on the full journey.

It's the Vibes for Me

Look, I play a lot of modern RPGs — and while some are amazing, they often miss a certain spark. That special something that made late SNES to early PS2-era RPGs unforgettable. And let me tell you, Lunar absolutely captures that magic. It’s a vibe — pure and simple.

The characters in both games have actual personality. They're charming, flawed, quirky, and genuinely fun to be around. The humor isn’t forced, and the emotional moments feel earned. The world feels like it’s been lived in, with rich lore, cozy villages, creepy dungeons, and larger-than-life bosses. And the soundtrack? Don’t even get me started. That theme song alone can hit you with a nostalgia wave that knocks the breath out of you.

You’ll find yourself hours deep into these games without realizing it. I’ve literally lost track of time exploring Lunar’s world, just wandering around talking to NPCs, watching the party banter, and soaking in those detailed pixel environments. These games are the definition of “just one more hour.”

So yeah — if you're craving that perfect blend of drama, humor, friendship, adventure, and good old 90s charm, Lunar is the vibe you’ve been waiting for.

Why This Release Is a STEAL

Let’s talk price: $49.99 USD for both games. In an era where deluxe editions cost $90 just to get a digital cape, this is a breath of fresh air. You’re getting two full-length, beautifully updated JRPGs that are pure comfort food for the soul.

And it’s available on literally everything:

• Nintendo Switch
• PlayStation 4 & 5
• Xbox One & Series X/S
• Steam

So no matter where you play, Lunar's got you covered.

Look, I know we’re spoiled with amazing games right now — but Lunar is different. It’s got that timeless charm, the kind of storytelling that sticks with you, and characters that feel like old friends. Whether you’re a returning fan or diving in for the first time, this is one of those games that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

I’ve waited years for this day — and now that it’s here, I’m diving headfirst into the world of Lunar. So excuse me while I cancel my weekend plans, silence my group chats, and queue up that sweet, sweet title theme.
