Remember when we told you that a remake of the classic role-playing game Lunar: The Silver Star Story is coming to the PSP? We were anxious to see what this update would look like, especially with the reported isometric view , hand-drawn characters, and reworked graphics.
Now we can take a look at a handful of new screens, thanks to Siliconera. The battle system looks to use a little icon menu bar at the top right of the screen, with a character image and stats at the bottom. It's a cleaner, more open look than the earlier games. While there are only a few images, we can get a look at some of the lush backdrops and character art of the game, all of which look great. It looks as if all the exploration is done in the isometric view, and then things switch to the old side view for battle.
And here's a juicy rumor on the game: Siliconera says that XSEED may be picking up this title for North America. Fingers crossed!
Lunar fans, what do you think of these new screens?

The remakes on PS1 were already quite nice to look at.
It be awesome if the Sega CD one was a secret unlockable.
I'm enjoying the locales/camera though. It feels like it will be a different experience. Do want!
I hope they base it a bit more on the Sega CD version than the PS version. The music was so much better. Also, keep more of the frontier areas, and make the Vile Tribe more vile, rather than getting the player to sympathize with them.
I don't really care about the looks. It's all about the story and the characters. If they don't botch it up, it'll be fantastic!
