Title(s)
I was just informed that the full title of the game in Japanese is "Lunar: Legend of the Silver Star." I dunno about you, but I personally find this title better than just plain "Legend."
Any thoughts?

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

That title never came up in the game itself.
EDIT: This is directed at Alun, too. This is the first time I've heard of this. KF

Yes, he gets that. He knows who I am, and I posted it here, so it's not exactly a secret.
I'm going off memory, so for all I know I may be thinking of an early press release or something. I'm pretty sure I'm not making it up, but it may not have made it to the final game. Or some overeager PR person or newsie may have made it up. *shrug*
Edit: Googling "legend of the silver star" turned up about 426 hits for Sailor Moon...and two for Lunar, both in Japanese. One is no longer there, but the other is here: http://lab.vis.ne.jp/lunar/jyouhou.html

Ok this makes sense then, looking at that site.
Apparently, when Famitsu first mentioned the game, they called it Lunar: Legend of the Silver Star--sounds like a small confusion between the original TSS and the Lunar: Legend title, is all.
"■タイトルはルナ~レジェンド~
(……でもファミ通の表紙には「LUNAR LEGEND OF THE SILVER STAR」と表記されてる…?? なんでだ)"
"The title is Lunar ~Legend~
(...but wasn't it called "Lunar: Legend of the Silver Star" by a Famitsu article...?? What gives...)" KF

Interesting. That does vaguely corroborate, then. Feel like asking at Lunarhope if anyone remembers that article? It's not particularly significant, but worth putting in a theoretical encyclopedia entry. One wonders if the name itself changed during development or if Famitsu just got it wrong initially. The high number of hits for Sailor Moon: Legend of the Silver Star suggests that the phrase originated there, but I know about as much about SM as a Meribian does about California.

Re: Title(s)
That's the first time I have ever heard about that. I agree that it is a better title than 'Lunar Legend'.Dingle wrote:I was just informed that the full title of the game in Japanese is "Lunar: Legend of the Silver Star."
