If you like FE, I see no reason you shouldn't play Shining Force. It's quite similar to Fire Emblem.

Any recommendations of where to start? Any specific titles which stand out in the series?

I would recommend getting and playing the GBA remake of the first game(Ressurrection of the Dark Dragon) before jumping onto the next games. Every new chapter in the Shining Force series is somewhat related to the previous one, so you'll probably miss a few things if you play the games out of order.

That's actually the one Shining Force game I own.

Thank You, I think I'll do that, but I'll probably just limit myself to Camalot's Shing Force games. I have a Sega CD and a Genesis, so I if I look I should be able to pick up copies of Shining Force II and Shining Force CD fiarly easily (and hopefully inexpensively).

I think I'll like Shining Force because I like the genre, and I might like Camalots other Shining games because Shining the Holy Ark looks a lot like Golden Sun,

I also own Shing Force EXA, and I remember liking it, but the PS2 Action RPG's are suppose to be very different, so I'll wait until I beat EXA before I buy others (if I like it).

However looking into retro RPG's, I'm tempted to get a Sega Saturn one day. Panzer Dragoons' multiple Shining __ games, Blazing Hero's, Dragon Force, etc.
