Part 32

Good news and bad news.
Bad news: Our scanner is not working and appears broken. It's like the universe doesn't want this shit seen.
Good news: I'm gonna take pics with my cell phone of what we're comfortable sharing and put it up here. It's gonna look like ass but it's the least I can do. I'll see if I can get this out to you guys before MAGFest.

Should be editing this post with some pics here shortly.

Okay here we go, so first proof that this is real:



Here's the first page of the copy of the NDA that was received.



This is the first page of the original rough draft script was received from Ubisoft, that they presumably got from Japan. You can see the fans efforts to translate it and their own notes/comments in the margins in future pictures.



More of the same.

Here's the first page of the final draft the fans got from Ubisoft that they presumably got from Japan after the fans' proposed revisions. Again, you can see the efforts to translate it and the fans own notes/comments in the margins in future pictures.



Apologies to those who can't read Japanese.



A close up on some of the notes to the developers/ourselves.



More Japanese.



Hahahahaha, this one makes me a little sad. We could only hope, right?



This one is kinda neat.



As someone pointed out the similarity to Ghaleon's freeze spell.



Looking back over all this makes my heart ache and fills me with such overwhelming bitterness, a bile rising in my throat. The fans and the crew were so excited and elated... so hopeful to have a new Lunar. Why did this have to happen?

Here's Corey Fong's business card, Corey Fong is awesome. I don't know if he still works at Ubisoft but I hope he doesn't. He's too good for them. He was one of the few folks at Ubisoft I could say with 100% certainty wanted a good Lunar game and tried so very hard. I miss you Corey, thanks for everything.


I apologize for the shittiness of these "scans." We have loads and loads of papers here and a broken scanner and I don't want this LP to die unarchived. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to share more but I hope this proves that, yes, the fan consultants were a thing and yes, Ubisoft did try for awhile. We all tried.

It didn't have to be this way.

Thank you Camel Pimp.

Fuck Lunar Dragon Song.
