@WizeLoL - Give the first game a shot, you won't regret it. :) It's a little less story-heavy but it's still an epic as hell story, and the gameplay is as solid as ever, though stats are on far lower a scale than with 2.
I'm only now discovering the Shining series. I don't know if I should say this, but I think I like the music from this game better than any of the Final Fantasy games.
I played this game not too long ago for the 3ed or 4th time again (lol i wanted to play it again after i beat it, its that good!) and as i was playing i got a friend addicted to it aswell, lol he's still stuck at the last boss, i personaly think that this had a great unique story (even tho it was abit kiddy), awesome music and great turn based combat..
the only thing that got to me was the fact that the music would restart every time u would go in and out of combat, small price to pay tho =)
for some reason i could'nt get into the other ones after playing this... i should give them more of a chance... i think i will some day, hopefuly soon =D
hes a really secret part of the game sega kept it hidden olny few know the way all i can can tell u is a clue to get him hes some wear in the mouintains
Oh, really? Prove me wrong. I've looked through the game, and the only reference to him in the game is a couple one-off references in a book and in some dialogue.
i seriously doubt this is true i have played the game 7 times not to mention a member of a site dedicated to this game if he was there im pretty sure a friend of mine would have found it in the code of the game
i always whistle shining force tunes as a walk through tesco doing my shopping, ive done it for so long that random strangers sometimes join in, simply cos they no the rhyme from me :)
heya there i have this game and wondered if anyone could help me. i am stuck on one part, i have defeated the Kraken and am in the village next to it but i cannot get Rhode to talk to me, could you help me please?
You need to get the Achillis Sword first (mail me if you dont find it).
If you have it Rhode will talk to you and say "sniff sniff, i smell something old ..." (I will never forget this reaction ^^) and then he will tell you how to defead Taro an get the caravan.
cool i love this game and i was a really good music vid but did you ever find that tort guy and if you did could you make a vid of how he is after hes promoted

go to the east (its right across the river) and go to what looks like a cave and before it youll battle and its pretty easy so battle and enter the cave then talk to the old man a few times he'll come with you which is when you go back to the past cave you coulnt enter and its like way north then you enter and battle which is when you get the archelis sword or some thing and then Rhode will talk to you
The Genesis' sound chip pushed to it's limits. This is one of the rare instances where it surpassed many SNES rpgs music wise. Or maybe it's just nostalgia speaking...
This is without a doubt 1 of the best RPG's Sega has put out for the Genesis. The other was Phantasy Star IV. And both of them are my personal favorites!

I am excited!
This game had been translated to foreign country. USA?
I didn't know that.
I played the original version of Japan when I was teen.
In Japan, there are still many fans.
Story is good, battle system is good,
And this is important, music is very beautiful.
