The future of the Lunar franchise: how has DS affected it?
The general consensus of Lunar: DS seems to be that it's not what we'd hoped it would be. Some seem to think it's okay, some seem to think it's miserable, but it's safe to say that it won't be going down in history as the greatest RPG ever made. What does this mean for the future of the Lunar franchise?
Personally, I'm hoping that the developers are simply using this game as a test subject to see what they should do with a Lunar 3. Like, they fully plan on making a Lunar 3, but they wanted to try different stuff in this title, just to see how people would like it, like Gad's Express and the different battle system. That's my optimististic view of DS.

It really depends on what kind of risk GA is willing to take. The people behind the two Dark Cloud games obviously thought that the poor reception of the first game was acceptable to pave the way for the much better received Dark Cloud 2. Lunar: Dragon Song might be a similar experiment, just something to get the name out there again.
Or, it could be a half-hearted attempt to find a pulse, and not finding one GA will decide it's not worth reviving the series.

From what I've heard (I could be wrong, and I don't know if anybody mentioned it yet or not since I'm pretty irregular here), the remakes of Lunar were done by another company besides Game Arts (although they oversaw it), and the company that did the remakes did Lunar DS. So... unless Game Arts themselves does something, I doubt Lunar has any mentionable future.
I have the bloody game, but nobody I know has a DS to let me borrow so I can play it.
