If you've never played Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete on the original PlayStation, then all you need to know is that if you're an RPG fan who loves classic traditional Japanese RPGs, then this game needs to be in your library. For those who have played the game on the PlayStation and want to find out some of the differences between that version and this remake on the PSP, read my impressions below."

While the Sega CD versions definitely have their own set of fans, I think most people became aware of the series once the PlayStation ports were made in the late 1990s, with Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete being a remake of the original Sega CD title, and a port from the Sega Saturn version that was only released in Japan. Silver Star Story Complete was a huge step up from the limitations on Sega CD, this time featuring an expanded use of animated cut scenes (50 minutes compared to the 10 minutes from the previous version), a fleshed-out story, combat, and other features that just didn't make the cut in the original. Game Arts was once again behind the production of this title, with publisher Working Designs, headed by Victor Ireland, in charge of translation and bringing the game to the U.S."
