Latest Famitsu article translated, plus better scans!

[Kizyr]

The latest Famitsu article (7/17, released on 7/3) is finally translated! (Sorry for the delay; still sort of recovering from vacation and preparing for Otakon). Anyway, here are some of the highlights:

- The soundtrack comes as a pre-order bonus. The CD jacket is designed by Toshiyuki Kubooka, and the soundtrack is arranged by Noriyuki Iwadare. It includes new songs and live performances, too.
- The battle system uses the range layout system of the Playstation Lunar games, and a gauge system similar to Lunar: Legend for the GBA
- Screens, including town maps and character images, are almost completely redrawn. Town designs are also different.
- The storyline of the game (Burg, the Weird Woods, Saith, meeting Nash, and leaving the Saith docks) appears almost identical to Silver Star Story. So, the storyline of the PSP Lunar appears to follow the Playstation version more than the Sega CD version.

We also replaced the PSPHyper scans with our own ones, at a higher resolution. Check out the article below:

Saith looks WAY smaller than in SSSC...

Any idea what the skills listed in the bottom left screen are? I assume the last one is the Wind Dirkish arts gauge attack, but are the others just Sword Dance, Explosion Staff, and Vigor or are they something new (or old, from a TSS perspective)? They have the same MP costs as the old ones, so sadly, I'm assuming they're the same.

The first three look to be the same as in SSS, yes. The fourth, the arts spell, could be the same as the Legend arts spell, Wind Sword, for all I know; although the length of the name is different, Legend used some hiragana where SSS used kanji, and the screenshot shows more kanji. Kizyr could probably confirm.
