Hans's level increases
Speed increases by 1


Other than Hans being an entirely useless party member, I'm having loads of fun replaying Shining Force.

Anyone else get the system? What are you playing?

I skipped it since, well, I think most the titles are on Steam.

Playing Chakan would be nice, though

Hope you enjoy it. I wish I imported one at this point. PAL systems got gyped, we can't access US mode, so no Genesis versions. Don't get the 6 button controllers of the JP systems. Still got some nice games, but worst version released.

My enjoyment will probably mostly hinge on if I like Musha. IIRC, Langrisser II might also be something I like. I already own most of the games either on cartidge or on those Genesis compilations, so there's not much new to me.

I just liked the idea of Mega Drive style controllers for playing these games, not random Sony or XBox controller. I'll just hack it when that stuff pops up and install the games I really want.

I can't be bothered to hack them.

Oh, there's a Dragon Slayer game included -- Lord Monarch. I seem to be stumbling into more and more of that franchise.

There are some hidden characters in Shining Force that you can miss out on if you progress too far.

I have the original system with the original game, just one of my large backlog lol. Other than this "complaint"? how do you like the game? I've been wondering what to play after Cross Edge.

Beaten the game many years ago, missed only Yogurt / Jogurt. I'm aware of the other two as well, and the hidden items that can be found in some places like Chapter 3.

My original copy is long gone, mum tossed most of the Mega Drive games. But Shining Force was always a favourite of mine back then, and if you still haven't played / beaten it yourself, it is something I'm happy to recommend.

Thanks, I know I've looked at it in my system to be sure it worked but just never got around to playing any of my Shining franchise games. I'll have to see if I have them all yet (pretty sure I do) and pull them out next.

I haven't played all of them, but the ones I did are rather good. Shame that several never saw a English release.

Oh right, I was going to maybe finally cave and pick up the PS Classic at Best Buy if they still had it on clearance. It's probably sold out by now, though.

I picked up a similar-themed unit not that long ago (well, plus the bootleg Nintendo version) where it's just Capcom games or something simply because it had Knights of the Round.

I really wish those $20 PS Classics were done here, the local price hasn't budged.

@DeltaBladeX

I don't do handhelds or mobile, but there's western versions of all but Shining Force III: Scenario 2 & 3 for console versions. I'm hearing rumblings that most, if not all of the JRPGs will get western versions thanks to SEGA and Square Enix. They finally realized that we're their biggest market.

At some point after I made my computerized list of my games GameFAQs finally re-organised the series they had mixed together. I had "Shining Force" and "Shining in the Darkness" series all labeled as one series of games. That would have fucked me all up trying to play in order lol. I did figure out I have the entire "Shining Force" series comprising 8 console games with both an English and Japanese version of Shining Force III: Scenario 1.

Thanks for your opinion, you're one of the few on here I'd trust to evaluate a game. Too much fanboyism on here lol.

@DeltaBladeX

Found this on the Genesis board:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/916377-genesis/78027665

Apparently, the US versions of some games are accessible if you set the language to Korean.

Sure thing.

My Jpn Mini arrived on Tues and I picked up the US Mini yesterday at my local WalMart. Both US and Jpn use 5V, 1A, so I'm able to use the AC adapter included with the US one (the Jpn one doesn't come with an adapter, which, to me, is stupid) for both. The Mode button on the 6-button controller brings up the Save/Load/exit game menu, which is a nice plus.

I only tried out a few games, since I don't want to get distracted from Fire Emblem, and whatever lag people have been talking about was unnoticeable to me.

Same with the PAL one, but with all the plugs needed for the various countries, that isn't a surprise. I just plugged it into my Switch dock since that is always supplying power.
