yeah right, we haven't had a decent spg in years, I would kill for a new spg like shinning force and fire emblem. It just needs a good story, tons of magic/different looking weapons and todays graphics. I hate todays video game companies, we could have so much good games but we get shitty 3 hour shooting games for 60 dollars with no characters and story.

Shining Force III consists of 3 games on the Saturn. They take place at the same time and are seen from the prospective of 3 different main characters. They are awesome games. Only the first scenario was ever released outside of Japan, and the voice acting isn't just bad, it's LEGENDARILY bad. However, the games are still tremendously awesome.

There is no Shining Force IV in the literal sense. There are the Shining Tears/Wind/etc games that started in the PS2 era and continue to this day, but they are Shining games in name only - the gameplay is 100% different, and they have no plot connection to the older games. These games are notable for having amazing artwork (mostly done by Tony Taka, although Noizi Itoh did one of them), and many have awesome music (Kikuta Hiroki of Secret of Mana fame did several of them), but the actual gameplay is almost universally horrible. Buy the artbooks and the OST's, but skip the games.

There is, however, Shining Force CD for the Sega CD, although this predates Shining Force III. It is a direct sequel to the original, and helps bridge the gap between the first and second games. It consists of 2 main scenarios, plus some bonus material. The second scenario was also released as a stand-alone on the Game Gear as Shining Force: The Sword of Haja.

If you never played through Shining Force with only the absolutely mandatory characters (no ken/luke/lowe/tao/hans, no gong, no gort, no anri, no janet, no zylo, etc), you just haven't lived. It will teach you to appreciate Balbaroy and Amon, Mae, and even Adam who is surprisingly good if you level him up sufficiently before promoting him.

Am I the only one that really enjoyed Shining the Holy Ark? I can understand that the first-person view can be somewhat of a turn off, but it lead to one of the best moments that my younger bro and I had -- the first time my main character cast "Piledriver" where he takes a few steps back, and then the screen just starts spinning towards the enemy.

Then my older bro (who was a non-bro) "borrowed" it to a friends house, and it was never seen again. At least we had the chance to play through it a couple of times.

I miss how different and good looking sega consoles were, If sega wanted too, do they have enough money to make a console? Why dont they just make a console for a smaller group of people? Why must we have only 3 consoles in the video game industries? Remember when we had a ton of consoles to choose from and with that brought more different games and ideas?

I was enjoying Shining in the Holy Ark, but after getting a ways into it, my Saturn's battery died, and I lost my save file. I never got around to restarting it.

I have, however, spent many, many hours playing Shining in the Darkness. Good god, the amount of graph paper I went through drawing maps for that game.

Except that prior to the advent of the Playstation, any console that didn't say Nintendo or Sega on it was crap. Well, to be fair, the Neo-Geo was pretty awesome, but it was so astronomically expensive that it was beyond the financial means of 99% of consumers. But the other third party machines were all glorified paperweights, either because they were technologically inferior, or they just had no software support. Or both, in the case of the doomed-from-the-start Jaguar.

Please do not speak ill of the Shining Force II. It is this posters opinion that OP should seek out all of the hidden Mithril and forge big weapons for his Hero and at the very least, Slade. Also, if I recall correctly, Kazin gets ATLAS and APOLLO for summons when he gets promoted, great for AOE. Lastly, try to push your un-promoted heroes to level 20 (at least) before the promotion. The way the game scales difficulty of opponents, you will be greatly rewarded if you promote more heroes after they hit 20, than if before. P.S. - Have you beat Xeon and his entire army at the credits ever? Never could pull that one off... Red Barron pisses me off when he's evil... Sorry for rant, got all nostalgic, <3'd this game xD

Actually, the Sorcerer spells are quite bad for AOE damage. They do a mostly-fixed amount of total damage, which is divided among all of the targets. So they are much better at devastating individual targets. Also, you couldn't promote until 20 in SF2. It's SF1 where you really want to delay promoting since characters lose stats when they promote, and this can render some characters horribly underpowered if they promote immediately at 10 (even Zylo, who is one of the best characters in the game).

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 30 01:52:18 2011 No.7287183 >>7287036 I loved Ark, and I loved Darkness. Too bad the newer games can't compare to the legendary titles on genesis and saturn.

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 30 02:04:18 2011 No.7287223 >>7287051 The only good sega systems are genesis and dreamcast. Also a lot of nintendo stuff sucks too. Every gameboy iteration but original, color, advance, and DS sucks. Every console but the main systems(nes,snes,64,gc,wii) sucks

I've never even saw a master system. I doubt it was popular at all. As for quality of games, you can't beat the NES.

Saturn... it was ugly. It was lame. You can't name 5 good games for it that aren't Shining ___, Panzer Dragoon, a forgotten shmup, or that clown flying through hoops game

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 30 02:53:18 2011 No.7287315 >>7287133 Because once I get to the point where the story starts picking up, I'll probably end up dropping everything until I beat it. And currently that would be a somewhat unwise decision.

1. Dragon force
2. Iron Storm
3. Magical School Lunar (Japanese game)
4. Samurai Showdown Games (3,4,and rpg, also Japanese)
5. Nights I know you mentioned this, but it was a good game.

The Sega Saturn was a good system, it just was under supported by the game developers, much like the Atari Jaguar. Aliens VS Predator on the Jaguar was a masterpiece.

Guardian Heroes, Barqoue, Soul Hackers, Dezaemon 2, Sakura Taisen just to drop a few.

>>7287223
But...Gamecube sucked dick. Once you look outside the first party games, it's really nothing but sports games, disney/nickelodeon games, and movie games.

I read my game was bugged, because I couldn't equip a weapon for Red Baron. I really wanted to use him, he was so cool.
Shining Force I and II are my favourite games from my childhood. I tried playing III on my laptop, but the 3D was a horrible mess. I really miss 2D srpgs like Jagged Alliance and Fallout.
