On June 8th, 2009, GungHo Works made the first update to the official Lunar: Harmony of Silver Star website. (The website launched on May 15, 2009. You can see the official site here.) More detailed information is below, but to summarize, here are the main highlights:

• - Both remastered and completely-new voice-acting scenes will be included, meaning a reunion of the original voice-acting cast.
• - New scenes from 10+ years before the events of the game, about the Four Heroes and written by Kei Shigema (creator of the Lunar series).
• - Additionally, Toshiyuki Kubooka is still credited for the original character designs.
• - (6-12-2009) For the first time, Kyle has been given a full name: Kyle Reguiss.
• - (7-06-2009) Character page updated with Laike's information

Below we have some more detailed information, separated by the sections of the website. Most of the content is stuff we know already (from LunarNET's section or the original Famitsu release), so I won't be giving exact translations, except for the new items.

An announcement of the pre-order bonus, Lunar Harmony of Silver Star limited-release soundtrack, is at the top. (A bit more information below.)

Story:

The Goddess Althena and the four dragons over whom she rules. On the magical world of Lunar, the strongest defender of the world is a legendary warrior known as the "Dragonmaster". But, some time ago, Althena disappeared, along with the last Dragonmaster, named Dyne. And now there is a new person calling himself the "Magic Emperor"--rumors of him have even reached the village of Burg, where the young boy Alex lives. One day, Alex, his friend Ramus, his childhood friend Luna, and Nall, embark on an adventure to the White Dragon Cave... Little did they know that their adventure would set in motion events which would change the world...

The young boy who dreams of being a hero...

The story will be expanded through full-length animation scenes. Original character design is by Toshiyuki Kubooka, known also for his work on Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water and Idol Master. Original story is by Kei Shigema, known also for his work on Silent Mobius. Music is by Noriyuki Iwadare, also known for his work on Phoenix Wright 3.

You can use the AI in the turn-based battle system. The PSP version will have an updated musical score. A great cast of voice actors also help tell the story...

Revisit the glory with new elements!

The PSP version gets a a great update in graphics. In-game graphics, movie scenes, and even the sound are all updated and remastered. Even the original animation and voice will be revised. And, there will be a new episode featuring new voice acting, meaning a reunion of the original voice acting cast.

Finally, a new secret of the Four Heroes

The PSP version, Lunar: Harmony of Silver Star, will feature a new episode covering events that happened in Lunar's past. Over a decade ago, the Legendary Four Heroes fought against a great evil that threatened the world. This scene is created by the original creator of the Lunar series, Kei Shigema, and has never before been seen. This will be the missing link to tie the series together!
