... I HATE that page. They've got their info completely wrong, and trying to circulate that Magic School is Lunar 3, which it's not. It's a gaiden. That page has been the source of endless BS Lunar 3 rumors about Magic School. Very annoying.
I just happened to look at this thread now, and that site is pure bullsh|t. No, I would not want that as Lunar 3, and neither should you! GameArts is referring to Dragon Song as the third game in the series, but seeing as how it doesn't follow sequentially it's hard to see it as Lunar 3. I just say it's third in the series, but a stand alone prequel since it has no bearing on the story of the first two.
Because over the years, Lunar 3 has pretty much taken the shape of a sequel to Lunar 2, and generally thought to be a console game. Having a prequel on a handheld is wonderful, but most don't consider it Lunar 3. And Magic School was flat out called a side story or "gaiden" to begin with. I personally wouldn't consider the Four Heroes story a Lunar 3 either unless GameArts specifically titled it that. Lunar EB was universally known as Lunar 2 (ie in both North America and Japan). So far Dragon Song is being called a "third game" without going so far as calling it Lunar 3. And only that stupid website has ever claimed Magic School as Lunar 3 (and has been the source of many a false rumor because of it).
Here's the thing, yes we would all be glad to finally have our Lunar 3, but Magic School is not the epic quest we all would want as our Lunar 3. You should care what Lunar 3 is, because after all of these years you would want something worth waiting for, right?
It's a very old topic to begin with, therefore the problem was solved a while back. Also, the original poster stated that it wasn't Lunar 3, and how does posting a site ruin Lunar?
