That's fair

I'm relatively convinced it's mostly a bit of autism.
As far as I know some things got lost in translation for the first game, which got reintroduced or written back in in the GBA remake, but I also heard that was the writer changing the story a bit after a few years.
That is to say, if it was butchered horrendously, I never noticed through all three games. The stories are generally simple enough anyway.
>art
The art is great, I wish there was some comprehensive artbook somewhere tbqh.

>>6475695
It is.

It's a shame, I know there's some low res stuff for the SF3 artbook around, but no really good quality one either. And I don't think I've seen much of anything for 1 or 2.
Which is a shame because some of the art for those games is really cool in my opinion. Even if I forgot the artists' names again.

I don't know, 1 doesn't have all that much QoL compared to the others but it was also really fun and I feel the character designs were better than in both 2 or 3, more coherent in a way.

Playing through 3 for the first time currently and having fun. I'm glad I found this series.

Camelot stopped making them after 3 and after Feather there were no more Force games as such.
Arguably Shining Blade and another PSP one were TRPGs, they used a similar system to Valkyria Chronicles, but neither of them really resemble Shining Force. Blade is about sword waifus for example as I recall. The fact that the PSP ones are JP exclusive and about stuff I don't care about too much hurts too because I really like the VC combat system and combining it with Shining Force could have made for one of my favourite games.

The action RPGs I don't know too much about. There's Neo and Exa but neither are all that good for gameplay, but at least both of those still kind of include some of the cast of fantasy races and stuff you'd gotten in the old ones. The modern ones are Shining in name only at best.

I also wish Feather got a translation patch of some kind, it is kinda fun to play and, while designs are somewhat wonky, it also still seems to retain some of the old magic.

I guess it's ok on a technical level as you say, but compared to the rest of the series, it's just generic looking at best. Purely going on the art.

>>6210793
SRPGs but the Shining Force series.

Are they independent stories? Been meaning to try some of them out, and II was recommended.

That is all.

Also waifu thread, because I don't see one of those.

Dude the past few days I've been rewatching this series, after having forgotten about it the past couple of years. He was one of the few quality retro game YouTubers back then.

The 90s were a good time for game art.

Fuck yes!

Shining Force is one of the first and one off the best strategy RPGS of all time.
