This is a shot of all the junk you will get in the Limited Edition Lunar HSS bundle. Those of us who ordered the Japanese version will recognize that cd, but the bromide cards are a whole new deal. I was really hoping they would include something the games package, and these cards are a total surprise.
"As the definitive version of Lunar: The Silver Star with completely reworked graphics, a remastered soundtrack containing songs new and old, an enhanced battle system, and additional story elements never before revealed, Lunar: Silver Star Harmony deserved a special Limited Edition version to commemorate the rebirth of this beloved franchise," stated Jun Iwasaki, President of XSEED Games. "For fans of the previous iteration, we've built upon the English script from before to offer returning fans something new while keeping the heart of the original outstanding localization intact."
There isn't a sentence in that quote that bothers me
Total freaking sweetness!!!!!!!!!!! Now I'm canceling my pre-order at Gamestop so I can get the limited edition one now. Good thing I only put $5 down on the one at Gamestop.
Once they put it for pre-order on Amazon, I'm totally getting it.
I'm gonna say 1up is probably off on the date, but it is interesting they flat out listed it. I'll try and shoot an Email to XSEED and see if there's a concrete date yet. Also, just updated the frontpage will all this stuff, though it's nothing new, as it's recapping everything in this thread.
Edit - apparently that release date came out of Game Informer this month. I'll see what I can find out.
You'll have to go put a little money down at GameStop or some equivalent probably. Or order off Amazon.com.
And FYI, January 12th isn't the release date. It'll be later than that. I thought mid-January was pushing it bigtime. They don't even have the official site up yet and the first screens in English just showed up today.
Cool! I'm glad some English screens have finally showed up. It's nice they are using some of WD's translations. I also agree that the Jessica colon line sounds really odd. O__o

This gives the release a three month bubble, so anywhere between January and March. This blows though, because the first quarter of 2010 is game overload for me with a lot of awesome games coming. I'm going to be backlogged! I think this game should be released on January 22nd, my 30th birthday.
