Shining Force!

Obsidian · 04-11-2008, 11:36 PM

Well before Final Fantasy Tactics (but well after Fire Emblem) existed, there was this great series of strategy RPGs by SEGA/Camelot. I am a huge fan of these games and I consider the third game on the Sega Saturn to be one of the very greatest SRPGs on the market.

However, I feel that the PS2-era games of the series, which are somewhat Diablo-like, to be very disapointing. Since I am one of about 16 people who make up this series' fanbase, I guess it is sort of useless to wish for SEGA to put out an old-style Force game.

It's not like those 3 are the only Strategy RPG's. There's also Bahumut Lagoon, and a bunch of other games that I totally can't remember.

Anyway, I was thinking about getting one of the Shining Force games on the Wii's VC, but I didn't. I think I'll get it next time. :3

Ah, Shining Force. After the Eyeson Plays FFII event, I'm definitely playing this baby again.

Man, talk about nostalgia. I would spend hours playing Legacy Of The Great Intention without rest. I know that game like the back of my hand. Shining Force II was also epic.

Shining Tears is one of the worst RPGs I've ever played though. Ever.

Shining Tears was better than Resurrection of the Dark Dragon.

Talk about butchering a great game. I loved Legacy of the Great Intention, and then they remake it and turn it into that...thing.

I didn't play these games til after fire emblem, and I played them on an emulator >.>

They were quite enjoyable... and I enjoyed the magic in it.
The game overall was different enough from fire emblem, to make me enjoy certain aspects of it more.

Shining Force is indeed a game series that I dearly miss.
