Jenner, is your name in the credits on this one? Considering that you mentioned there were three people from the community they reached out to, and there's a special thanks at the end for three people?

How does it feel to be a part of history?

Jenner refused to be credited.

Looking at the final result, that was absolutely the right decision.

I asked my partner other how they felt about being part of history and here is what they had to say:
"It was difficult at the time to see the kind of game that would come out of this. You saw most of it, all it was was words on paper, just that storyboard and the phone calls and e-mails. At the time I was so excited to be part of a new Lunar game, something fans have always wanted. As a fan I put my heart into communicating with the team. What I saw in there was a handful of really passionate guys who didn't have the resources or the care from the higher ups to make what they dreamed. I'm not ashamed of trying to revitalize a series I love."

So, the closing lines of the game here:

Carried by the wind, on wings of hope, time moves toward the future. For now, all is peaceful. But one day, the time for valor shall return again. A day when an adventurer will become... Dragonmaster.
This is a direct reference to Lunar: SSSC. Specifically to the Working Designs translated song from the beginning of the game: right here. It used specific wording in the Japanese text that only a super huge massive nerd fan of this game (one of the fan consultants) could recognize as a reference. So it was impressed on the translators that this was a reference and it should be translated thus. They listened, and I wish they didn't because it's one more connection to Lunar this mess doesn't deserve to have.
