Items
There is only one known unused item in Shadow Dragon: a Torch. It was presumably cut because fog of war makes no appearances in the main story mode, but if the game is altered to put it in a unit's inventory, it works properly in multiplayer battles where fog of war is in play.

Graphics
Character portraits
Not counting repeated files, there are seven unused portraits. Internally, portraits are stored separately in two sizes: the full size portraits used for cutscenes, and the smaller size used in unit profiles in gameplay. Usually, a cut portrait will only have one or the other.
File name: DUMMY |
style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A placeholder portrait; the writing on it reads 制作中 Under construction. In addition to its own file, it is repeated frequently through the portrait files as a placeholder for missing or incomplete portraits, including being the full size counterpart for every generic class portrait. |
File name: S_MIDIA |
style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A version of Midia's portrait without her armor. Only exists as a full-sized portrait; the profile version is only the dummy portrait. |
File name: S_MINERBA |
style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A version of Minerva's portrait without her armor. Only exists as a full-sized portrait; the profile version is just a copy of her regular portrait's. |
File name: S_SHEEDA |
style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A version of Caeda's portrait without her armor. Only exists as a full-sized portrait; the profile version is just a copy of her regular portrait's. |
File:Portrait unused fe11.png File name: MAGE_BLUE |
style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A portrait for a generic magic user. Only the profile version exists; the matching full-sized portrait file only has the dummy portrait. |
File name: NEHRING |
style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A portrait attributed to Nehring, a boss from Mystery of the Emblem who does not appear in any version of Shadow Dragon. It is an exact duplicate of Zharov's portrait, likely because they shared a portrait in Mystery. When Nehring appeared in New Mystery of the Emblem, he received a completely new portrait. Has both full-sized and profile versions. |
File name: CANARIS |
style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | An earlier version of Kannival's portrait, which differs in proportions and shading. The final version is at the file name CHANARIS. Only exists as a full-sized portrait, and does not have a file for a profile-sized portrait at all. |
File name: MULAC |
style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | An earlier version of Merach's portrait, which differs in proportions and shading. The final version is at the file name MULARK. Only exists as a full-sized portrait, and does not have a file for a profile-sized portrait at all. |
File name: TORMAS |
style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | An earlier version of Tomas's portrait, which differs in proportions and shading. The final version is at the file name THORMAS. Only exists as a full-sized portrait, and does not have a file for a profile-sized portrait at all. |
Miscellaneous
style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" |An unused tutorial slide which suggests that a Radiant Dawn-style Order feature was planned for the game but was cut, even including a screenshot of the feature in action. There is no known unused functionality for what the tutorial slide describes left in the final game. | |
style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" |An unused label that reads "My Unit Registration", this image suggests that Shadow Dragon may have originally been planned to have an Avatar character, as Avatars are called "My Unit" in Japan. |
