The Saturn version sold 115,343 units during its first week on sale in 1996 and went on to sell 200,035 units in Japan overall as of April 1999.[6]
Working Designs had planned to localise this game for the North American market as Lunar: Director's Cut (with a planned release date of March 1997[7]), but while featuring in some form at E3 1996, this version was not released.
Versions
The Saturn and PlayStation versions of Lunar Silver Star Story are broadly the same, however without the Video CD Card, all full motion videos in the Saturn version are played at a lower resolution than on the PlayStation. With the Video CD card, the roles are reversed.
Being released a two years later later in late 1998, the PlayStation version offers a number of minor enhancements over its Saturn counterpart, including shorter loading times and minor changes to graphics and audio (the logo, for example, has a strip of silver on the PlayStation). In the US, the PlayStation version refers to itself as Lunar Silver Star Story Complete, presumably to highlight the enhancements, though from a gameplay perspective is not thought to be any more "complete" than the Saturn original.
