Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil[a] is a 2001 platform video game developed and published by Namco for the PlayStation 2.

In the standard stages the goal is to reach the end of level by means of using the enemies to overcome obstacles and solve puzzles.

Klonoa has a limited amount of health in the form of hearts, which is reduced when coming in contact with enemies and certain obstacles.

In addition to being able to jump, Klonoa can shoot enemies with his signature "Wind Bullet" using the ring he carries.

Additionally, there is a feature that lets a friend use a second controller to make the character Popka give Klonoa an extra boost while jumping.

For example, Hearts will refill Klonoa's health and Alarm Clocks serve as a checkpoint in the event the player dies.

The Kingdom of Discord, Volk, which lies to the west, resembles several metalworking factories and its people wage a neverending war.

The game's primary antagonist is the pirate Leorina, a former priestess who eventually lost her patience and set off to gain "The power of the gods."

At the Maze of Memories in Mira-Mira, Klonoa ends up finding out about Lolo's past; prior to his arrival in Lunatea, she was bullied and mocked by her peers, and after hearing about his foretold arrival from Baguji, decided that she would accompany Klonoa in order to show her peers that she has what it takes to become a priestess.

Later, Klonoa ends up struggling against the last element's guardian, as the guilt-racked Lolo is on the cusp of giving up, believing that she isn't qualified to save the world, and as a result is unwilling to power the Wind Ring.

After catching up with her, Leorina explains that with the power she has, she'll get her revenge on Lunatea, but instead, she gets cursed by sorrow, turning into a giant silver bird-like creature.

In the end however, the king attacks Klonoa instead, claiming it will be so the Dream Traveler could "atone for Lunatea's sins".

The king, content with this outcome, disappears and fades away into particles of light, granting Klonoa the element of sorrow.

Sometime later, Leorina and Tat decide to restore the Kingdom of Sorrow, and Lolo gives up her title as a priestess, aiming to regain it on her own.

She initially tells him that it's fine and that she'll be okay because "[she's] going to do [her] best", but ends up breaking down shortly after saying that Klonoa taught her that it was okay to cry so long as she kept doing so.

[2] It was stated by Hideo Yoshizawa, the executive producer and director of the Klonoa series, that if the Wii remake of Klonoa: Door to Phantomile was received well, he would likely make a Wii version of Lunatea's Veil too, but it never materialised due to poor sales of the first game's remake.

[3] In February 2022, it was announced that a collection featuring remasters of both the Wii remake of Door to Phantomile and Lunatea's Veil would be remade in a collection called Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, which would be released on July 8 2022.

[6] The score includes the vocal song "Stepping Wind", sung by Klonoa voice actress Kumiko Watanabe in the character's fictional in-game language.

[9] Yujin released a 4-inch tall gashapon figure of Lolo and Popka as part of the "Namco Girls" Mini-Figures Series 5 collection.

[11] GamePro gave it an acclaimed review, awarding it five out of five, saying that "a prime lesson on simple yet addictive gameplay with awe-inspiring visuals - a blend that no gamer should miss".

[17] Benjamin Galway from GameSpy gave the game a positive review: "While the story isn't quite as moving as the original, Klonoa 2 has a wonderful mix of action, great control, nice challenge [...], and just beautiful presentation".

[20] GameSpot gave it a positive review: "Because of its airtight gameplay, awesome visuals, and great soundtrack, Klonoa 2 is an almost perfect platform game [...] almost".

[18] Jim Preston reviewed the PlayStation 2 version of the game for Next Generation: "Worth renting for its first-rate visuals, but this is short, sweet, and shallow".
