Shining Force 2 CS-G BS-G

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Shining Force series (2 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Sonic/Climax/Sega
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             RPG
LANGUAGE:         English and Japanese

PREMISE:          The Continent of Rune has slumbered in peace for 50
                  generations.  A horde of invaders swarm across the
                  border, while a dragon that has slept for centuries stirs
                  in its tomb. Only the King's youngest swordsman and his
                  war party can defy the Dark Dragon's evil power and crush
                  the mighty army! (box promo for first game)

IMPRESSIONS:      Aaahhhh, Shining Force...I must have played this game all
                  the way through at least ten times.  This is where RPGs
                  like Vandal Hearts and Final Fantasy Tactics got their
                  ideas....[and] just when you though the first one
                  couldn't be topped, the second one comes along.  More
                  enemies, more allies, more weapons....[Shining Force 2]
                  is my favorite Genesis RPG of all time. (Chochobo's RPG
                  Ranch)

VARIATIONS:       Shining Force - The Legacy of Great Intention (1993)
                  Shining Force 2 - Return of the King (1994, an entirely
                    new story in which the Shining Force team reunites to
                    deal with a revived King Zeon, the Evil of All Ages)

                  There were also some Game Gear titles released as part
                  of the series in Japan, and a special edition produced
                  exclusively for the Mega CD - see appropriate entry for
                  more info.

Shining Force is the sequel to Shining in the Darkness, but instead of dungeon crawling, you must amass an army of people to fight evil. This is the game that started me out on strategy/rpg, it's one of the best with a great storyline, good graphics, and lots of cool characters. The fighting occurs on a grid field, but it lots of fun and challenging. Don't fprget the music, which is great stuff. I give it a 9

Shining Force 2 is the sequel to Shining Force. It improves upon it by making more of an rpg. You can walk around towns and find treasure and also you get to walk on the Overworld Map! More character, and you get to upgrade your characters class once they are at level 20! The music is once again outstanding and fits the game well. The story is cool too. With a cheat code, you can even fight using the enemies against the heroes. Lots of replay value, and once you get to the end, your in for a funny surprise :) I give it a 9.5

Shining Force was also made into 2 games on the game gear, these games were a lot of fun and were actually released on SegaCD as Shining Force CD. And Shining Force 3 was released on saturn, though us americans never got to see episodes 2 or 3 :( Oh, and Shining in the Darkness did get an official sequel on Saturn called Shining the Holy Ark which a great sequel, although it's a very tough rpg.

HBNT-F0BR

and Bolt 4 magic spells!!

3KJT-EDXW

Blaze 1, Blaze 2, Blaze 3, Blaze 4, Heal 1, Heal 2,
Heal 3, and Heal 4 magic spells!!

93NT-F93E
Money code. This code lets you get lots of money very
quickly. Here's how: Go into any shop that sells
"Medical Herb", and with the code turned OFF, buy a
Medical Herb for $10. Next, turn the code ON and sell
the Medical Herb back for $49,150!

E7WA-ERS0
When you use the BLAZE 1 spell, it will cast a BLAZE 4
spell instead! (but it still only costs 2 MP.)

FPWA-E0S0
When you use the BLAZE 1 spell, it will cast a FREEZE 4
spell instead! (but it still only costs 2 MP.)

F7WA-E8S0
When you use the BLAZE 1 spell, it will cast a BOLT 4
spell instead! (but it still only costs 2 MP.)

C7WA-FRH0
When you use the BLAZE 1 spell, it will cast a HEAL 4
spell instead! (but it still only costs 2 MP.)

DPWA-F0H0
When you use the BLAZE 1 spell, it will cast a AURA 4
spell instead! (but it still only costs 2 MP.)

When using the 9 codes above, if you pick one code and
stick with it, you should have no problems. If you
start switching back and forth between codes while
playing, the codes may not work right. If you do switch
codes while playing and the code doesn't work right, try
this: turn off all of the Game Genie codes, save your
game, reload your saved game, then turn on the new
code you want to use. (emulators only.) Remember, this
only applies to the 9 codes below.

C7WA-FRDG
When you use the HEAL 1 spell, it will cast a HEAL 4
spell instead! (but it still only costs 3 MP.)

Well thats all the Shining Force 1 codes!

Note: Rememer the Game Genie codes for this game do work (probably not on a real game genie for a real sega genesis they probably only work on a emulator) if your using Gens 2.11 (an emulator) type in the following codes when the sega logo apears or any where else in the game (note at the sega logo pause then in the right hand corner click on file and click on game genie if you type in the codes if the game isn't on the codes WILL BE DELETED AND YOU HAVE TO TYPE THEM IN AT THE SEGA LOGO I DONE IT BEFORE SO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T DO IT)!

One of the cheats ahead is wrong: it's the cheat to name all characters. You don't need to complete the game or enable the configuration mode, just name the leader, go to "end", hold Start and press any button. And you don't need either to repeat the process with the other character; just name the him/her and select "end".

This is my second fave Genesis RPG series (Phantasy Star being #1). The battles Are hella fun. It's strategy, but not as excessive on the details as most other strategy games. I like the graphic style. Nice and colorful, kinda cartoony but well done. I must have played through Shining Force 1 about ten times.

These game not like other kind of similar strategy games, in each turn, the movement of all character would be arranged by their status, so strategy as group may not help so much, so you need to maximize all your character strength, to not let's it to away from battle.

also these game not like other kind of similar genesis strategy games, it allow you to travel around the map(when there are no battle), this make you have a feel to playing a game, not story telling(like warsong), you can also find some secret weapon yourself with this feature.

Besides the Langrisser engine, Shining Force has to be my favorite battle system. While all the fights have fixed enemies, they're challenging at times. The story line was good, the graphics were good for its day, and the music was pretty damn good also. Shining Force 2 was even better, a bit easier than the original I thought.

These games demonstrate that often, simple mechanics yeild the best results.

Take a big cast of characters (even more in the sequel!), a handful of stats, heaps of items, lots of enemies and drop them into possibly the best battle system on any console yet! (BIG call, I know)

The graphics are simplistic, but charming. Battle sequences excel through great character design for both the heroes and enemies.
The soundtrack alternates between stirring battle anthems and haunting melodies, although sound effects are a little thin on the ground.

The sequel adds a greater emphasis on exploration which only adds to the satisfaction of the game. And is Odd-Eye not one of the coolest character's on the Genesis!

Snap 'em up as soon as you can.. also watch out for SF CD, which is brill!

If this is still such a popular game (and other sega games as well) to play on our home computers, you would think someone or a company would actually produce these games on CD-ROM. I would definitely buy it, if it went on shelf. I have Sonic on CD, why not the Shining Force series!!!

I discovered cheats! I'll show them:

Unlock the configuration mode: When the Sega logo appears, quickly press Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Right, Down, Left, Up, B. Music will confirm correct code entry. Hold Start while choosing to begin a new game or continue and character selection. A configuration menu with turbo speed, auto battle, enemy control, and game completion options will be displayed.

Expert mode: Enable the "Configuration mode" code and complete the game. Reset the Genesis and start a new game. Additional difficulty options will be selectable.

Name all characters: Enable the "Configuration mode" code and complete the game.Reset the Genesis and start a new game. Name your character, highlight the "Exit" option on the character name screen, and press A + Start.
Another character will be displayed and can be named. Repeat this process to name all the characters.

Sound test: Enable the "Configuration mode" code and complete the game. Reset the Genesis and start a new game. Highlight a saved game file and quickly hold Start + Up + C.

Final Boss Battle: Complete the game and wait approximately five minutes when the phrase "The End" is displayed. The phrase "and more...?" will appear. Press A, B, or C to enter a final battle with all the Bosses.

That's all. I hope you guys like it. Better: I'm sure! Hee, hee, hee... I'm cool...
