I'd definitely give this a shot if it was localized but If Sega didn't have their heads so far up their asses they would remake Shining Force 3 on modern consoles since 2/3 of the game never even got an official English release. Then they would ask Camelot to make a proper Shining Force 4.
Can sega stop being little pricks and start localizing Shining games again seriously all i've been seeing from them is Sonic....which is a shit load more repetitive than pokemon
@kakashiy4 not really racist, if they were they'd make games that always use other races as the antagonists, they're just patriotic, and unlike some countries who would rather use the english language for everything they do and either forget about their own language or dislike it.
this is bullshit. why do they have to turn a rpg legend into anime weaboo jpop bullshit. In fact it's not just this game look at Phantasy star these days as well as FF
@TimelordR Valkyrie profile ain´t bad, but Star Ocean, at least the 3rd one on PS3, is fucking bullshit, it´s a Tales of Symphonia rip off, i hate that shit
They haven't made a good shining force game since 3, and only the first scenario was translated... this video is a good example of why Japanese RPGs and Japanese games in general have fallen far behind their western counterparts. Flashy animations and techno/poprock don't belong in RPGs lol
@jtayok This is bullshit, why are you generalizing things? I prefer JRPGS over WRPGS. Persona series, Devil Survivor, Radiant Historia, Dragon Quest 9, Phantasy Star Zero, Nostalgia and others. This game would be cool as a non Shining game.
@jtayok : "Flashy animations don't belong in RPGs"
...Are you actually expressing the dangerously bizarre opinion that fancy animations have no place in the RPG genre? You think they're a... bad thing?
If my character is 20 times as tough and skilled as they were 60 game hours ago, what better way to communicate such an impossible, larger-than-life ability gap without making high-end attacks the most unbelievably retarded displays of supreme strength and agility you've ever seen?
...We are STILL waiting for this game to come to the west (US, Canada etc.). Why won't you give us this game, Sega!? T_T You already screwed up a lot of sonic games in 3D and they still come to the west but you won't give us a game that looks like it is finally going to look good!? We seriously need a translation team to work on this game NOW -_-...
What matters most is the gameplay, and if the more action-oriented battle sequences are as fun to coordinate as the vid makes them out to be, then this is a SRPG that I might actually give a chance.
Normally SRPG's are too slow in combat and take too long to get me excited, especially when there's nothing to do but WATCH when two characters start fighting.
This looks horrible, looks like a damn kids cartoon, and the characters all look like a bunch of emo's. It looks like sega can't make shining force games like they used to, probably cause they lost the original team who made the first three epic games, give me shining force 1, 2 and 3 anyday!
Trailers nowadays are so bull sht...anyone else hate how the trailers look damn epic but the gameplay is just balls!?!?! *FACE PALM* I'm dead inside now...
man i want this game i haven't played a shining force in a while last one i played was for gba it was so fun love rpg styles like that can anyone tell me if this games coming to America i would love it if it does
actually... let me rephrase that... anime-esque visuals AND different gameplay (the original gameplay is great and i love it, but games like neo and exa have given a little variety imho... most will probably hate this comment)
it seems that since sega has started using anime-esque visuals, all people know how to do is complain about it... shining force is shining force... no matter the gameplay or visuals
I've played the first Shining for. Resurection of Dark Dragon. For Sega Smash Pack II and then I bought the remake for the gba. This is nothing like it but I'm still buying it. Btw, I've been playing this 98
Well, this game is developed by Flight-Plan, not Camelot (unfortunately). HOWEVER, according to Wikipedia, Camelot said they are interested in making another SF game. Until then, we can always hope for a SF classics collection. I don't know whether I would buy THIS game, but I would immediately throw my wallet away for an SF3 Complete remake!
I was personally hoping for an actual sequel to SF:ROTDD. Too many of the characters had an underveloped story with great potential (e.g, Zuika, Mawlock). It would be nice to get another chance to use some of the characters whom weren't very useful in it, such as Adam, Alef or Torasu.
Also, this game looks like it's seriously ripping off NamcoXCapcom.
Zuika and Mawlock had no real character development, because they were added into the original game (and badly, at that). Also, Adam, Alef, and Torasu were three of the best characters in the game if you took the time to level them properly. Asam was just a plain destructive force, torasu is the only healer in the game who learns Aura 4, and Alef is the only character in the game who learns Bolt 4.
If you listen to ALL of Zuikas character dialogue, he clearly has some kind of unrevealed backstory (the stuff about him being hated and sealed away). The same applies with Mawlock, if you hear all of his converstaion in HQ.
I know Adam, Alef and Torasu are good, but have no point to them considering that by the time you have them, you'll already have a team probably double their level.
Magic was seriously dulled down in the GBA remake, so Alef isn't as good as she was in the original, either.
They actually did make a direct sequel to the original Shining Force, But I'm not sure on what system.
And Mawlock exists out of time and space so he probably has WAY to much back story to go into. Zuika is a form of beastman like Zolo and the birdpeople were. So maybe in that area of the world the beastpeople were frowned upon and thus shunned. Oh and the fact that Zuikas class is ASSASIN and then he becomes a TERMINATOR might have something to do with it also.
actually they made 3 direct sequals for the game gear. 2 of them are in Shining Force CD. The 3rd one Shining Force Final Conflict just got a translation patch.
Hm... I'm slightly sceptical. I'd rather have the first 2 on the DS I think, seeing as how Sega has had a poor track record for a good while now. Don't get me wrong, Sega is up there as my favorite gaming company, but the future does not bode well.
An SRPG? Really? I mean, seriously? After years of horrible action RPGs? Between this and Sonic Unleashed, it's almost as if Sega's getting their shit together.
I'd definitely give this a shot if it was localized but If Sega didn't have their heads so far up their asses they would remake Shining Force 3 on modern consoles since 2/3 of the game never even got an official English release. Then they would ask Camelot to make a proper Shining Force 4.
Oh yeah and fuck Sonic.
