@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games I got a laugh out of the reviewer calling Shining in the Darkness "crap", especially given Shining the Holy Ark coming to Saturn later. (Shining in the Darkness is great!)

I learned just now that Shining Wisdom has two different localizations, one from Working Designs and one from Sega Europe. The WD version apparently takes a lot of liberties and they read quite differently.

@scribblemacher@mstdn.games
Yeah. It’s baffling to me to call Shining in the Darkness crap. It was terrific!
If anything, Shining Wisdom was quite a disappointment for me personally.

I really wish we got Sega Europe to do translations for the Lunar games as well as Grandia. 😭
