Mahou Gakuen Lunar!, also known as Magical School Lunar!, is a remake of the 1996 Game Gear game Lunar: Samposuru Gakuen. It's a very cute RPG following the story of Elie, Lena and Senia, three young magical school students.
Unused Text#

Chapters 1, 2, 3, 9, and 12 have several unused lines that just contain the text "台詞なし" ("no line").
Chapter 3#
One unused line in chapter 3 contains what seems to be internal notes related to the script.

Chapter 9#
The chapter 9 script includes multiple copies of a story sequence in which Lena ponders kissing the school's doctor, Emma, while she sleeps. While most of these copies are identical, there are two variations of the ending: the version used in-game, which is vague about what happens, and an unused version that goes into more detail. Bolded lines in the comparison are different between the two versions.

Chapter 10#
The chapter 10 script includes an unreferenced bit of text in the dialogue which reads メッセージ修正中 (Message under revision).
Chapter 12#
The dialogue immediately before fighting Barua at the end of the final dungeon is displayed in a slightly different order from the internal script. The order in the script reads slightly more naturally, so this was probably a very late development tweak. The bolded line in this comparison is the one that was moved.

Development Text#
Three of the script files contain strings that seem to be filenames for the source code that a section of that chapter's script was written in. S00.FLD (prologue) contains the string N00m144.msg; S05.FLD (chapter 5) contains the string N05m104.msg; and S06.FLD (chapter 6) contains the string N06m104.msg.
