Shining Force II
Shining Force II (シャイニング・フォースII 古えの封印, Shainingu Fōsu Tsū: Inishie no Fūin; lit. "Shining Force II: The Ancient Seal") is a 1993 tactical role-playing game developed by Sonic! Software Planning and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. Its storyline is not directly connected to the original Shining Force, although the Game Gear title Shining Force Gaiden: Final Conflict links the two games' plots. The game is much longer than Shining Force, and contains more free roaming. There is no chapter system, so the player can return to previously visited parts of the world. There are also two different ways of promoting certain characters. Shining Force II was met with positive reviews and acclaim during its initial release, with critics citing it as superior to its predecessor for its straightforward storyline and charming characters. Amongst critics, the game is often regarded as one of the best RPGs of all time, and a highlighted title for the Sega Genesis.
Shining Force: The Legacy of Great Intention
Shining Force: The Legacy of Great Intention, commonly referred to as Shining Force, is a 1992 turn-based tactical role-playing game developed by Climax Entertainment and Sonic! Software Planning and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. It is the second entry of the Shining series, following 1991's Shining in the Darkness. While primarily a traditional fantasy-themed game, it contains some science fiction elements. The game has been re-released for various platforms: in Sega Smash Pack Volume 1 for the Dreamcast and Sega Smash Pack 2 for Microsoft Windows, in Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and as a standalone game for the Wii Virtual Console and Windows via Steam. Additionally, a remake was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2004 under the title Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon. In 2010, the game was released for iOS but was discontinued in 2015. It was re-released again on the Nintendo Classics service in 2021.
Shining Force Gaiden: Final Conflict
Shining Force Gaiden: Final Conflict (シャイニング・フォース外伝 ～ファイナル コンフリクト～) is a 1995 tactical role-playing game for the Game Gear, taking place between the games Shining Force and Shining Force II. It was released after both games, with the intention of connecting their plots. Despite its name, it is not directly story-related to Shining Force Gaiden or Shining Force Gaiden II, also released for Game Gear. Unlike most of its predecessors, the game was never released outside Japan. English patches have been created by fans for players who cannot read Japanese. Bottom: A battle taking place. Final Conflict uses gameplay identical to the previous Gaiden games, Shining Force Gaiden and Shining Force Gaiden II. The player progresses through a series of turn-based tactical battles interspersed with short cutscenes. Between the cutscenes, the player is allowed to save the game, promote characters, resurrect fallen characters, and sometimes buy and sell weapons and healing items.
