Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete

Lunar Silver Star Story Complete is the Working Designs PS1 CE that set the standard for premium localization packaging. This US release pairs the definitive remake of the Sega CD original Lunar with a soundtrack CD, a Making Of CD, a hardcover book, and a full cloth map of the world of Lunar, in the kind of presentation that turned Working Designs into a brand.

Lunar Silver Star Story Complete was the Working Designs love letter. Hand-drawn anime cutscenes, fully voiced dialogue, the Vic Ireland school of localization that gave Lunar's script the personality nobody else would. Alex, Luna, Nash, Mia, Kyle, Jessica. The Dragonmaster trial. The Goddess Tower. Twelve years of Lunar fans on Sega CD finally got a PS1 release that didn't feel like a port.

The cloth map is the showstopper. Actual fabric, printed with the world of Lunar, the kind of bonus that turned RPG CEs into something to display rather than store. The hardcover book is the lore reference. The Making Of CD is the behind-the-scenes documentary Working Designs filmed about themselves. The soundtrack CD preserves the original Japanese composition.

Working Designs went out of business years later, which makes every Lunar release they produced a piece of history. For JRPG collectors, for localization historians, for anyone who remembers the Working Designs era, this is the foundational text.
