It got modernized for today's gamers.

They finally hired a better artist.

Based Tony Taka happened

>Shining game actually coming overseas
>It's Tony Taka Nu-Shining
Damn it suck liking Shining. I'll buy anyways.

Tony Taka and the series head hates old shining.
>we get a new shining in the west
>it's tony-shit
KILL ME

Wait, what? Shining's still alive?

more games could do with hiring porn artists to be honest

Only in japan.
Why can't they hire someone fun, like Jackasss? Porn scenes aside, is Dragon's Crown doujin was actually pretty enjoyable as an adventure read, and I'm kinda sad he never continued with it.

Question now is, will it be worse than 3DS Langrisser?

Sadly, no. Despite the shit we give them, the Taka
Shinings are still competent games.

It ain't even an SRPG. The last Shining SRPG was for the DS for Japan.

...

>shining force then
>forced diversity SJW bullshit

>shining force now
>beautiful aryan elf women that BTFO triggered feminist SJWs
I don't see the problem.

The Shining SRPGs weren't very good, dunno about the dungeon crawlers. I'm willing to give the ARPGs a fair chance despite all the hate it gets from people who probably never played them.

I want to FUCK that dragon in the top left

So is resonance the best out of the shining games? If not, what is?

What other game/series is the gameplay most similar to?

Shining Force II and III are masterpieces.

>tfw playing shining force 3 right now and it's every bit as heavenly as everyone said it was

it's the complete edition I hope.

yeah, scenario 2 so far
hoping to be even more blown away by 3

Are the Shining Force games still Gauntlet-style hack-and-slashers, or did they change it up again? I got bait-and-switched by NEO, but it and EXA were better than I expected them to be, especially the latter.

The 90s ended.

Shining Blade HD when?

I hope that was a typo.
SFIII > SF = SFCD > SFG:FC >>> SF2
And SFIII was just ok

Good user.

>more fapping material
Now I can fap to shining force and play the classic at the same time

I honestly don't think that's possible. Even when not comparing it to old Langrisser games, 3DS Langrisser was just an awful game.

>SFG:FC
This nigga knows what's up.

>What happened?
Sega never really knew what the series really was so to them it's just something they will do whatever the fuck they want with it.
I mean think of it. It was a Dungeon Crawler, SRPG, Diablo like game. It never really had much of an identity so you can't really complain when shit like this happens.

Well shit. How's the game objectively?

this

I like Tony Taka's artwork, but even Satoshi Urushihara has less problems with recycled designs than he does, and I don't like seeing him as a lead character designer on anything.

Oh goody, they're porting it to other things.
The problem, contrary to OP's dumb ass, is that it's been the latter far longer than it has been the former and stuck in two categories: generic turn-based RPG and generic action-RPG. The most recent attempt at anything even resembling old Shining was Feather, and that was still far too influenced by Tony-era stuff.

I'm not saying everything should be "just like the old days", because as I know and as you noted, it was always a variety of things. However, it barely does anything remotely interesting now either. Hell, the most recent mix-up was a fighter, which was actually different, but unfortunately that was just characters from Tony-Shining, with all characters being humanoids. Even the wolf guy is still a humanoid character, compared to someone that could have been really trippy like Domingo, Yogurt, Peter, or even one of the bajillion fucking centaurs. It feels like the demographic is far too concentrated on the anime-otaku market instead of being more inclusive by being pure high fantasy with lost-era technology twists.

You know what I'd like to see? A fucking Shining game that actually takes place during the Ancients' era with a lot of technology about, but still having the races, monsters, and a mixture of locales.

kys

Oh boy a Shining thread, first one I've seen I didn't make.

I wonder if they'll ever acknowledge Camelot's offer to make Shining Force IV.

Is this bait?

I don't get how Shining Force was SJW shit.

>Shining Force became yet another otaku bait waifu sim with japanese school girls
How does Japan get away with it?

>Is this bait?
>types like an underage Sup Forumstard
Of course it is.

are any of the action games good at all?

I didn't even know they were still making games

Neo was kind of shit, but it seemed like they were really trying with EXA. EXA is probably a 6.5 maybe 7/10 if you're being generous.

As someone who grew up loving the Shining SRPGs, I'm still angry that these games replaced classic shining force, but if I remove nostalgia/bias out of the equation thats how I feel about those games.

Rate from best to worst.

degenerate otaku is what happened
I fucking hate modern anime

Please explain, master Sup Forumstard. Elucidate for me, for I am apparently an underage Sup Forumstard, based on two short sentences that simply borrow the base vernacular of the person I'm expressing incredulity towards.

I played Shining Force as a child on an old SEGA collection CD. Looking back and remembering just about every part of it doesn't bring to mind anything that's particularly SJW about it. Was it Mae and Amon? Every other female followed the typical female fantasy tropes (agile and magic-based, not strong). I remember alternate female costumes, too.

You can't stop the future

Depends.
Dungeon Crawlers:
Holy Ark > In the Darkness

Strategy
III > I > I GBA > CD > II > G:FC (however, II:Hajya > Gaiden I, but both individually are below FC)

Action
Soul II > Wisdom unaltered > Soul I > WORKING DESIGNS WISDOM

Everything else
Haven't played, don't care

>Camelot's offer to make Shining force 4

Storytime that shit, although I have a feeling its not as interesting as I'm hoping.

>Tokyo Xanadu is a decent game, but has absolutely nothing to do with Xanadu and doesn't even have any references or musical cues to Next or the olden entries
They should have just called it Trails of Action or some shit.

nichegamer.com/2017/11/18/camelot-boss-wants-to-make-shining-force-iv/

It is what it sounds like. Sega being Sega turned them down though.

It isn't.
The original producer of all the classic Shining titles (including all the Shining Force games and Shining in the Darkness) and Dragon Warrior II, Hiroyuki Takahashi, expressed the desire to make SFIV just a few months ago.

Sega of course, couldn't give less of a shit.

it was obviously a joke. the original post you replied to was a joke. or "bait" if you are too autistic for jokes

Xanadu Next is a masterpiece tho.

I just bought Tokyo Xanadu, will play it tomorrow.

It seemed kind of evident, given what the original post I replied to claimed, but I wanted to believe that someone that retarded existed and would explain their warped idiocy.

Now, I am the fool.

Serious question: What are the odds of a PC port for this game?

Also why is Sega not doing a PC port for Valkyria Chronicles 4?

what did working designs do this time

>Tokyo Xanadu is a decent game
I'm Agree, I just a little tired of the "homogenous" art style is some Japanese games.

Good.

PC?

I'm curious too, what exactly got changed?

Holy shit I hate Sega. If they did a re-release of the full Shining Force 3 and then released Shining Force 4 I would probably buy 10 copies of each.

shut the fuck up autist.

>this is a modern day SMT cast
What the fuck happened with so many jrpgs adopting moe styles? Why do japs have such shit taste?

The typical WD stuff. Mainly script changes and name changes (Admittedly this part right here actually isn't their fault. Sega wouldn't let them use the original names although the Sega Europe got to use them) I dunno if they fucked with difficulty in anyway it didn't seem like such when I played it.

T2 is trash.

Ok so I looked it up and apparently Working Designs changed changed a bunch of names of people/places who were in Shining Force 2, not because they wanted to be dicks, but because Sega of Japan literally wouldn't let them use them for some retarded reason.

Like, can someone explain that shit to me? They wouldn't let them use lore names in the USA version of their own game?

Wait what? What happened?

Too much soy

Remember Shing Force Feather? Yeah me either.

>Holy shit I hate Sega
Welcome to the club of Shining Force fans, Ecco the Dolphin fans, and every other forgotten IP that Sega doesn't just sit on, but actively stifles any future of.

i rememer that squid, he did like 1 dmg, but if you leveled him enough he learned the best spells in the game

Anime style changed. Deal with it. Or not.

Domingo is a great unit, the only flying magic user in the game.
He also gets great stats when leveled for a creature type character, and a secret one at that.
Probably my favorite character in the whole series.

By admitting that men want to put their penis inside high school girls.

>the penis does not lie

Mind you I'm not saying that you should ACTUALLY DO IT because that's wrong and rapist and immoral but being sexually attracted to young nubile girls is quite normal. Thought crimes do not exist. Fantasy does not harm anyone.

>tfw peter the phoenix was bro tier as fuck
went from a nerdy motherfucking to the chad of phoenix.

>having sex with high school girls is wrong and rapist and immoral

Fuck off, whore.

Good taste user

Let me guess, they got rid of the bara animal men husbandos.

I fucking hate Japan now.

millenials

Which one? You're not talking about the Blade Arcus PC port that was localized last year are you?

>doesn't even have any references to the older entries
wrong

No. It's Shining Resonance

Oh, better than nothing I suppose. Is it actually good or on par with Media Vision's other stuff like Valkyria Revolution?

This is the same game? Are you sure, OP?

Okay, I was wrong, but do any even show up in gameplay or during dungeons? I was really hoping for a Valse Pour Xanadu ringtone at least.

I can't say personally from what I see it's considered okay.

Unfortunately no. Its just seeing Xanadu and Xanadu Next on shelves in different shops.

Top is the original Shining Force on Genesis. Bottom is Shining Resonance, latest game in the series.

tactical rpgs are dead

Disgaea is still alive user

Try FE Conquest and Birthright.

I played a bit of the PSP Shining games. The girls were gorgeous, especially the elves, holy shit Tony's elves are amazing. Great voice cast, it was all the big name VAs of the era. Based (and probably expensive as fuck) Mizuki Nana doing the OPs and voicing someone in a bunch of the games.

But goddamn they played like arse. I got bored within a couple hours each.

Budget is the same but costs have raised so they can only afford 5 characters

EXA was alright. Whatever horrible metamorphosis happened it must have been on PSP.

Ark is best because hand-holding battles.

The director is now 60 years old and still wants to make the game.
