Lunar's debut had a bold personality that has successfully shined through in past remakes. Fans can be assured this tradition continues on strong in this refined and tightly honed PSP revival of the classic. Not only is everything that made the original adventure such an enthralling journey to begin with still intact, but it's also substantially amplified and improved upon through all of the new changes found in this definitive remake. Lunar: Silver Star Harmony works well on many levels. As such, it's a real treat for your RPG sweet tooth.
RPGFan - "Over the years, those of us who love RPGs have spent a lot of time with Sony's consoles. The PlayStation 2, for example, was the undeniable king of home consoles for RPGFans of its time. However, when it comes to handhelds, the PlayStation Portable faced an uphill climb from the day it was released. In Japan, it came on the scene just 10 days after Nintendo's DS, but the gap was three months longer in the US. And although both consoles had great features, the DS went on to outsell the PSP two to one."
Yea the games on the list are good but the order is iffy in some parts. Not a terrible list though.
To be honest I was expected something better from RPGFan & disappointed very hard at the end.. for example Crisis Core on No3 is outrageous & completely ridiculous choice... & then we have Kingdom Hearts which I can't even call rpg on No8.. tragic nothing else to say many other wrong selection no reason to mention them all & it's pointless this list is simply teribad, at least they put Trails in the Sky high enough this I'm sure is something most ppl agree with.
Weird list... Some games just shouldn't be on there, like (I might grilled for this, but) Star Ocean 2, and Lunar. Those games are seriously overrated by the rpg community.
Tales of Eternia and Breath of Fire 3, although ports, should really be on there. And what about Dissidia? It's got a ton of rpg elements to it, and certainly takes as long as any rpg to fully complete.
Also I never played Trails in the Sky, but that girl looks EXACTLY like Kid from Chrono Cross.
Let us Cling Together cannot touch FFT. Besides that, it's all games I wish I played

I have quite a list of games I want to get for the PSP, I think this site mentioned the ones I haven't played yet.
I kind of missed out on a lot of amazing games for the PSP. A lot of them are available on the PSN which I definitely need to go and get, they are quite cheap now. I just want to get a Vita first, this way I will have quite a lot of space to put them all on :D
the demo was great and it lookt good aswell
Yeah too bad I don't have any money for it.
this was really a nice game /demo
too bad i'm overwelmed by the number of rpgs that are coming in february , march and april to really care about this remake.
BUt those who haven't played the originals yet should definitly try this title
I never got to play the original Lunar series, and if memory serves correctly, those PS1 copies must cost a fortune on EBAY.
Well, at least I can look forward to this nice RPG on my PSP now. Looks very entertaining.
Can't wait to add this one alongside it's Sega CD and PSone brothers.
