Even so, there is no doubt ''Dragon Song''[='s=] disastrous performance, failing to meet the bare mininum of the RPG design, did an irreparable damage to the series and was the last straw for everyone who had hope. The ''Lunar'' series fell off completely from video game industry after this game, with only an occasional news of remakes of the first game.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[https://lparchive.org/Lunar-Dragon-Song/Update%2024/ CamelPimp's Let's Play]] features some insider information from a fan who was consulted while making this game. It reveals some details that were changed during production:
** Zethos' curse would originally [[BewitchedAmphibians turn Jian into a frog]]. In the final version, he instead loses the ability to handstand, taking away two hits from his normal attack.
** After killing [[spoiler:Rufus]], Gideon would have his severed arm stuck between his teeth, instead of his sword. This was presumably changed due to being too violent.
** The Negri Ocean Lab was originally called Vane, and was a city run by a mother and daughter who made research on magic. Due to lack of time and money, this was scrapped and replaced with an abandoned laboratory.
