Yeah but I dont like if you hit start, the game is still running in the background. You have to be preared the whole time during the game. :\

 

[Octavious]

and a problem i had was figuring out what does what
i just learned what the white wings are for lol

reminds me of d2/gauntlet legends, i can easily see elements of both in it. my friend and i are going to try multiplayer as soon as possible so who knows, that might make it heaps better! and lonely driver, what exactly was wrong with lunar legends?

However, the server often have connection problems so you might not be able to get in on first try

Change server... the USA servers are a sure bet

Pushing the select button (when the cursor is over an item) will give you a discription of what that paticular item, took me a while to find that out, but boy is it helpfull =]

I really like this game too, its something not so serious that you can just pick up and play without worrying about story, yet it still has that sort of rpg feel.

Well, actually i would mention that this is the first "shining" in french in an european version (and multilanguage to be more general). It's a side story of the shining force 1 and shining force CD. Again you need to fight against Dark Dragon. I suppose that chronologically it comes before shining force 3 : The final conflict on Game Gear which was the end of the whole dark dragon and zeon (shining force 2 on genesis) saga with the last appearance of Odd Eye and the birth of Mephisto son of dark sol, dark dragon and zeon (he has absorbed all of their powers).

For those of you who are interested shining wisdom on saturn is far better after the final conflict on game gear and shining force 2. You see in it Kazim and Sarah, former heroes (magician and sorceress) of shining force 2. and the last boss is a friend of odd eye who is supposed to be dead, so maybe, we will see what happened to him and mephisto in shining soul 2 or maybe it's already in shining soul 1. damn i need to play this game til the end after all. I maintain that animation and gameplay are awful however.

The other shining episode on saturn are the beginning of a new saga against the revival of the Hyudol (Vandal in english). No real link but i'm sure that sega wish to make a sequel o f this part of the saga on gamecube (the sequel originally intented for dreamcast was cancelled so i expect it will come on gamecube).

Talk about dredging up an old thread

I just gotta find out though...does anyone know what the multiplayer is like? Thinking about investing in a nice used cart, but I wanna be sure it can support up to 4 players in multi-mode.

Anyone know?

Shining Soul supports multi-pack multiplayer.
It's like Diablo, you can go around the level with your mates freely, but you all must gather to the portal at the end to go to the next one
