Many RPG fans consider Lunar: The Silver Star to be one of the best RPGs ever made, thanks to the character development, anime cutscenes and a memorable coming of age story. Players gathered a number of supporting characters who helped in the hero's quest. The story has been retold several times since it was released eighteen years ago on the Sega CD, most recently in 2002. Now, the tale is coming to the PSP in the form of Lunar: Silver Star Harmony.
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

From childhood to youth to now, everyone has a story of how they got into gaming. And no one’s is ever the same, even when some strings of the intertwined web cross.

Expect a lot of RPGs on this one." -Hindman of PSLS
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
Anyone knows the release date? it looks like lots of fun :)
I'll weep for the industry. This is one game that everyone should own a PSP for. LUNAR should not be missed by anyone who considers themselves an RPG fan
I'm still pretty annoyed that Working Designs went under. I remember finding both Lunar Complete & Lunar 2 Complete at my local Gamestop. Loved every minute of them >:
well i'm waiting for the release (all they need is some ads and this remake might sell ok )
