LUNAR: Silver Star Story Complete

LUNAR: Silver Star Story Complete is a traditional Japanese role-playing game developed by Game Arts and Japan Art Media, with the North American PlayStation release published by Working Designs. It is a full remake of the Sega CD game LUNAR: The Silver Star, expanding the original adventure with redrawn 2D visuals, animated cutscenes, voice acting, new story material, and a larger presentation built for CD-era RPG fans. The story follows Alex, a young adventurer from Burg who dreams of becoming a Dragonmaster like his hero Dyne. Joined by his flying companion Nall, childhood friend Luna, and a growing party of allies, Alex sets out from a small village adventure into a much larger conflict involving Althena, the Four Dragons, the Vile Tribe, and the armored Magic Emperor. The PlayStation version became the best-known North American edition thanks to Working Designs' localization, collector-focused packaging, soundtrack disc, making-of disc, cloth map, and hardbound manual. Its reputation rests less on mechanical reinvention and more on charm: bright 2D towns, fast turn-based battles, expressive characters, anime interludes, and a script that leans hard into sentiment and humor. For PlayStation owners who wanted an old-school RPG in a generation increasingly obsessed with polygons, LUNAR was a loud reminder that 2D had not lost a thing.
