This opening is epic, one of the best i have ever seen in videogames history, the OST of this game is awesome, Motoi Sakuraba is one of the bests!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a classic. I remember this game nearly costing me my university degree! I remember, like venomgold, stumbling on the Ninja by accident, and I remember thinking that final battle in the training area (the one with all the dragons ad the magus who WOULD NOT DIE!!) was impossible, and then finally winning it....aahh such good memories lol.
I realy want to get this game, but I don't think I could get one easily and I can't find it on a ROM nighter thats not protected by ESB (or some company protection plan.)
I have the first one on the SEGA but every time i saved and turned off the consel, it would delete all my info. Bastard thing.
I don't understand why this game was not so succeed as Panzer Dragoon in the Saturn. Personally I found it better and I hope that someone just "give us" some more... the other 2 that were not release in Europe could be a nice gift...
I would like to see this on PS3 on a collectors edition set. Somewhat like Lunar. I don't think this game would fit x-box very well, it just doesn't sound right. There better off with gears & halo and does other kiddy shooting games there so good at!:)I kid! RPG games should and will always be on PS3 unless Sega comes up with a new idea!:)
HELL NO this game should be remade for wii i mean since Camelot made this and they also made goldenson which is for GBA. Also nintendo has Fire emblem which is similar but not as good its still good though its suits nintendo more then PS3 should stick wit MGS4 and fantasy or just rpgs and mmos and Wii has tactical rpgs and mmos and 360 well.... its tryin hard for rpgs i give it props
P.SS are you using an emulator if so WHICH IS IT i have SHING FORCE 3 ISO!!!!!!!!!!!
@kingoflibya ya SF III is awesome. Too bad the SF games that are coming out now are completely different to how they used to be. You can get SF III Scenario 1 in English, 2 and 3 are in Japanese only but you can get a transcript for them - Google it.
@Sonical529 *more* recent - shining tears and shining force Neo on the PS2, there are also a couple of mobile phone games that were released in Japan.
There's a translated script for the two remaining scenarios. i won't like seing this on playstation. it's because of that thing that sega died anyway. i'd prefer to see it on the xbox, and i'd buy just or the sake of it
Playing all scenarios in English now.... finally after more than 13 years. Still a great game!

@DonomicGAMES It probably wasn't it would of just ended up like Panzer Dragoon saga except they would have less money.

Yeah I think it was the right choice for SEGA. But for us fans it was the worst decision in my opinion.

@DonomicGAMES Would of been cool if the brought it to the Dreamcast instead, Shining force 4 on the dreamcast 2?
steve5123456789 1 year ago
@DonomicGAMES But because of that mistake, the latest shining games have been rather poor quality wise

As already said, you need to change the battery. The cartridges all have a watch battery in them.

I think you should change the battery of your saturn. It should do fine then.

Uh... the only similarities is that it's really low-polygon graphics, but the gameplay is still classic strategy RPG.
