Gaming Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon

[Ninjaman]

I'm quite excited to play this remake of the Sega tactical RPG. I absolutely loved playing this game back when I had my Sega and I've been wanting to play it again for a while, so I can't wait to get this one.

The graphics for the remake are quite pretty and colorful and I also heard that there's going to be some new characters. And every time you beat the game, you can replay it and the monsters' levels will increase, so the more you replay it, the harder the game will be. Though, I kinda doubt that a lot of people would want to replay the game more than 90 times, but I give props to those who will. ^_^;;

Anyone else getting this game or have comments?

I'm looking forward to the game. The GBA has been getting some really great tactical RPGs as far as I'm concerned.

I've never played the orignal, but I do own Shining Force 3 on the Saturn. It has some problems, I suppose, but it's still a rather good game.

I figured I'd post some more information in here from Atlus for those not familiar with the game.

[quote] Darksol, a mysterious traveler who has worked his way into the King of Runefaust's graces, is secretly planning to resurrect an ancient, but terrible creature, the Dark Dragon. He has convinced the King of Runefaust to invade the kingdom of Guardiana in an effort to realize his sinister plan.

You play the part of a promising young warrior who washed ashore in Guardiana, but you have lost your memory and remember nothing of your past. When Guardiana is attacked, you are thrust into the role of leader and must unravel the mystery behind the Legacy of the Gods and put a stop to Dark Dragon's revival at any cost, or the world shall perish.

In this classic tactical RPG, you'll control a band of up to 12 characters on the battlefield as you fight to save Guardiana, as well as the world, from the forces of evil. Customize your party from over 30 characters as you explore the world of Rune. On your journey, you?ll discover a vast array of weapons, armor and powerful magic spells which will be at your disposal. Do you have what it takes to learn the truth of your past and win the final battle?


Features:

Control up to 12 characters in battle from a cast of over 30! Also included are three never-before-seen characters that can help you in your fight against the Dark forces.

Improved graphics feature added visual effects and character patterns.

Rebalanced game play from the original version provides for a more tactically challenging and engaging experience.

Unique card system allows you to collect special abilities and bonuses that could turn the tide of battle in your favor. [/quote]
