Milk it for all it's worth, eh Game Arts?
Revealed via early release of this week's Famitsu magazine, "LUNAR: Harmony of Silver Star" for PSP aims to keep the feel of the 1992 Sega CD original and 1996 Saturn/PSone remakes, but completely revamps the graphics and interface to bring them in line with 21st century standards. The view is now isometric, with lush hand-drawn backgrounds and characters. Publisher Gungho promises new events, remastered music, and an expanded backstory.
Best of all, perhaps, the PSP Lunar remake isn't outsourced: Famitsu identifies the developer as Game Arts themselves.
You can read a translation of the Famitsu article, c/o Lunar-Net, here.

If it came out here, would it be the Working Designs version?
(I miss their preorder goodies
Looks like an enhanced remake of Silver Star Story Complete. There's definitely new stuff there.
The overworld's never looked that good.
The Sega CD original would make an awesome unlock, but it'll never happen.

Suck it, Eternal Blue.
On the Sega CD
(well, the Bolgin fight was a lot better in the Sega CD version. Because when you won that fight you fuckin' deserved it)

And yeah, Borgan.

Okay, stupider. He was also a pushover in the remakes(but who wasn't?).
Pistols at dawn, sir.
Also, Jesus, another remake of Silver Star? That's the third remake of Silver Star in history. I mean the game's been out of print for a bit but holy god, could we move on to some new content or give EB its due again?
Dragon Song never happened it is not new content
Also do we have a date on this or just an announcement, those screens make it look pretty far along.
Aroduc, it goes without saying, is insane.

If it does come to the states, I just hope Ubisoft stays far away from it.
And Eternal Blue was really amazing when you compare it to the predecessor on the Sega CD. It was like five times the length of the original, with more animation, voice acting, the works. There isn't much comparison between the Completes.
Awwww... you remembered. I'm touched.

^That's the Star Dragon, for the unfamiliar. You first run into him after meeting Lemina, and he's tough as nails.

I even remember where to find the in-game music player on the PS1 version.
I can has cheezburger, yes?
He's the guardian of the Blue Spire, and he's the last obstacle in the Epilogue before Hiro can chase Lucia there.
The Sega CD one was the soundtrack. Put it in any CD player, and you have access to every audio and dialogue track in the game.
Eternal Blue's also had the two vocal themes, but that was it unfortunately.

Also a company named GungHo is producing the remake and I am unfamiliar with their works. They have also done a Grandia apparently, though, so they are evidently linked to GameArts in some fashion.
EDIT: Check that, GungHo is the publisher. This is a GameArts joint directly.
The last game they did was Magical School Lunar on the Saturn(which was also on the game gear or something, I think), which is why it's so similar to the originals.
Removing it definitely made the PS1 remake a lot more playable. Also, I still found the PS1 version difficult even after they apparently toned down the difficulty in many areas
The save XP was added to the US version, for reasons only Victor Ireland knows. I didn't find it that difficult, it just forces you to save wisely.

From GAF:
I suspect it'd be a four-way brawl between Atlus, XSeed, NISA, and newcomer Ignition for the title.
The original version of that scene was so much better.
Cold blooded.
Found it on youtube, major spoilers:
