Looks like they were really getting ready for it, until Nihon-Flex went bankrupt.

Was scheduled to come out in 4th Quarter 1999.

Some information on Wikipedia:
Lufia: Ruins Chaser was a game being developed by Japanese software company Nihon-Flex for the PlayStation until they went bankrupt. For a time, development of the title ceased; however, it was picked up and heavily remade in both story and graphics, being renamed Lufia: The Legend Returns.

Wow. I remember downloading artwork for this one over fifteen years ago. I couldn't wait for Lufia to jump into the PlayStation era, just like Final Fantasy and Lunar had! Natsume even fast-tracked it for North America!

Oh well. Unseen 64 has most of the art I recall.

Cool art!

Bit more from Natsume here:

"Lufia: Ruins Chaser is high intensity RPG that builds on the successful and intriguing series by offering new characters and a compelling story line.
As the Legend is revived once more, all the mysteries of the Lufian World will be answered..."

and a gif
