PSP version looks way better.

Why didn't they use those graphics and enhance them even more? Seems like a downgrade.

[Seraphita]

...It would be a downgrade if they downgraded PSP's version. Yes, the PSP version is great but these are the PS1 versions (or about). You know, the originals? I would be fine with any versions but since PSP Lunar 2 was never made, it would not make sense...

With this game, we will have the remastered original Lunar 1 and 2. It's a good plan. Let's just hope they do not mess the voice acting too much. It could be the perfect collection of Lunar if they do a good work with it. But yes. The original games are fine.

Actually, the PS1 versions are remakes too. The originals are on Sega CD, which have different cinematics (and in the case of Lunar 2, in my opinion, better animation). But these are great versions too! The PSP version was too simplified compared to PS1's.

PSP version sucks... they killed all the challenge and you can "win" by simply attacking every time.

[khronoschoty]

Could easily increase the challenge on the PC port, or add additional challenge as an option.

[Seraphita]

Yeah but again, it would not make sense to give PSP version of 1 while not having a PSP version of 2. The two games were made to be similar originally. This is better.

I heard the PSP version was gutted, they turned all the big labyrinthine dungeons into a few linear screens with dumbed down combat.

Meh, I honestly prefer Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete to Lunar: Silver Star Harmony. I never even finished Harmony because while the visuals were certainly better, it just didn't click with me the same.

That being said, if they were to release a "Lunar Pocket Collection" featuring Lunar: Sanposuru Gakuen, Lunar Legend, Lunar Dragon Song, and Lunar: Silver Star Harmony, then I would certainly purchase it.

The PSP version's graphics are terrible. The sprites barely animate, especially for enemies. Alot of enemy tells when they are going to use certain attacks are just straight up gone too and effects that used to be really cool detailed pixel art are replaced with crappy looking particle effects.

Even worse off is everytime you or an enemy does a spell, they gotta do this annoying glyph spellcast animation, which makes battles take even longer.

[Sunohara]

it only looks good on a psp because the screen was small as hell.

The PSP version used the difficulty of the Saturn version, IIRC. WD upped the difficulty for the US release, and the iOS/Android releases actually let you choose which difficulty level you want.

I'm not sure if they've said which difficulty this version will use, only that it's not selectable.

^^ It's this. This is clearly intended as a collection of the two games together -- and you want similar releases.

[Seraphita]

Yep. As much as I wished for Psp Lunar 2, I am very fine with classic Lunar 1/2. It means it keeps a certain integrity and let's be honest, these were pretty good games. :D

[Diabolical Taco]

I'd rather have the actual OG Sega CD versions, but I admit they did some QoL in Lunar 1 that I liked. Lunar 2 on Sega CD is leagues more interesting than the PS1 version. By eliminating random encounters, it really saps alot of the magic out of the dungeon designs, and the OG Lunar 2 has a way more epic final dungeon.

I find PSP stuff generally looks pretty sheety once it's unsquished from that ultra tiny screen. Even the crisis core remaster looks completely average... and it got the gold star treatment compared to most PSP ports

[Dragonzord]

The answer to the question is "no".
