A Western edition localized by Working Designs, Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete shares the warm anime art direction of Game Arts' JRPG. Long polished animated cutscenes, expressive character design, colorful villages and varied dungeons make a lively, welcoming fantasy world. The full English voice acting and sumptuous presentation elevate the storytelling. An elegant rendering, the benchmark edition of the JRPG on the console.
Noriyuki Iwadare's score shines just as brightly in this Working Designs-localized Complete edition. Luminous adventure themes, melancholy melodies and vocal songs, here re-recorded in English, make a score of rare warmth and emotion. The careful orchestrations accompany Alex's journey with disarming sincerity. Generous, memorable music, a jewel of this benchmark edition.
Dreaming of matching the legendary Dragonmaster, a young villager sets off on an adventure and slowly discovers the weight of the destiny upon him. A pioneer of the CD-based RPG, the tale combines heroic quest, friendship and romance with sincere warmth and animated cutscenes. This founding epic left a mark on a whole genre.
The American Complete edition by Working Designs, famous for its lavish boxset that paired the game with elaborate physical extras, a bound manual and goodies included. This out-of-the-ordinary presentation, specific to the publisher, made it a coveted piece whose value is measured by the complete set. Its concrete scarcity and editorial care support a high value among JRPG collectors.
