1) Why does Lucia/Althena have pink instead of blue hair? Althena pre-LDS, pre-SSSC, SSSC, and EBC all have blue hair. So why does this Althena have pink? I know in terms of the developers wanting to throw off fans of the series, pink is a good reason, but I'm talking continuity here, people. What gives?
2) Why did they have to re-use the name Lucia for the DS heroine? Couldn't they have made some other kind of Lunar-inspired heroine name? Like "Lunia" or "Lunara", or something?
3) The four dragons in SSSC and EBC all look exactly alike. Then why are the four dragons of DS different? Ruby as an adult looked exactly like the Red Dragon in SSSC. Yeah, Nall didn't look like Quark, but Quark was a geezer, so maybe that's not a fair comparison. Either way, the Dragons in LDS are *drastically* different from their SSSC and EBC counterparts. I'm also willing to ignore the fact that the dragons in the hieroglyphics in EBC all clearly resemble traditional dragons (i.e. 4 legs and a pair of wings), because an explanation for that is simply that humans created the hieroglyphics and didn't know what the dragons really looked like, so they just made them all look alike.
4) Do the 4 dragons in DS die? The white dragon makes it sound like they do, but then I think it was the blue one that just mentioned him loosing his form. I guess a good explanation is simply that they can't stay corporeal while two *opposing* dragonmasters exist (which would explain how we could have twin dragonmasters in the future). However, if they die, then it's a good explanation that Althena post-DS simply creates 4 new ones. Either way, I'm assuming the SSSC dragons are created post-DS.
5) The dragonmaster armor? The whole game I was PRAYING that I would fight Ignatius in the dragonmaster armor, with the dragonmaster sword. That would of clearly explained why Jian got rings instead of the armor. However, that final battle never happened, and the armor and sword is nowhere to be seen. I have a hard time believing they don't exist yet. So, I guess it's just safe to assume that Ignatius has them, and if he would have fought with Jian and was on the brink of losing, he would have busted them out.
6) Some people think Althena's love for Jian takes away from the Luna/Alex story. I don't. I think it makes it stronger. Why? Because Althena had loved a human once and still saw fit to become a goddess again, but when she meets Alex, that all changes. This works with my theory that in SSSC, Luna was born to Dyne with the intention of probably making it her last rebirth (with the lessons she learned from the DS experience). This is what upsets Ghaleon (not that he knows what happened in DS). But, it isn't until Luna/Althena meets Alex that the decision is made final. This is the one area where I feel DS makes SSSC and EBC stronger.
7) In my opinion, Searis becomes Burg and Noapeace becomes Meribia. Kirlis might become Myght's tower. Vane is probably created by students of the Magic School in the Cathedral of Althena, and has no connection to either of the two towns on the same continent. But, this is all just speculation.

9) Titus turning into a fairy at the end is kind of neat, and kind of ties DS to EBC (are there any fairies in SSSC?).
10) At no point do I recall exactly WHAT Ignatius' motives were.

I know that's kind of long, gang. I checked other boards and didn't find any of these issues really fleshed out, so let's do that here. It should be fun!!!
EDIT:
In regards to issue 1):
[spoiler]
In all fairness to the developers, Lucia's face (from DS) looks almost identical to Luna's. I suppose the face would be a more important aspect to replicate than the hair.
