| Toefactor said: Dude, Shining Force 1 and 2 are downright fantastic games. Sharp, colourful graphics for the time. Simple, yet enjoyable combat system, and an overall addictive nature to both games. I must have played through both of them 5+ times back in the day. |
I've played the first Shining Force up to the first boss - I believe it was the marionette thing - and the game feels quite a bit like a simplified Fire Emblem, only a lot more random, and not in a good way. Yeah, you can roam the villages and the world map occasionally but barring a few optional items, chars and sidequests (which FE games don't really have), it doesn't really do that much for the game.
I suppose any SRPG fan should try the first one, but one shouldn't be expecting that much IMO.
