Max and Kane were brothers, Kane knocked up some lady who birthed Ian.

According to JP supplements and ROTDD, both Max and Kane are Ancients who were cryo-frozen to act as guardians of the Seal/wielders of the Swords of Light and Darkness, but Darksol fucked it up. (You can actually see the cryo-machines in SF1, but they don't explain what it is). In this timeline, the Lady of the Pool is the ghost of their mother or a hologram representation of her, can't remember which.

Pic unrelated.

Oh it is? I was not paying attention.

Eh, I'll just do it next thread I guess.

It's been a few years now but they have long expressed interesting in making a Shining Force 4: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/10/camelot_software_boss_is_keen_to_make_shining_force_iv_a_reality
Many developers are willing to make a proper new entry for many beloved Sega IPs; the problem is Sega would rather sit on them instead. Not to mention that while current Shining is just cheap 40hr ad commercial for Tony Taka's figures, they haven't even annouced/made a new game since Shining Resonance which first came out in 2014. We just don't know what Sega is doing right now, but I'm pretty sure Sega doesn't know either.

You mentioning the poll reminded me that Shining Force made the top 10 of series fans wanted to see revived iirc. But then again JSR was second place on that poll and we've still haven't heard anything about it since, only Sakura Wars. While I wouldn't be too opposed to Sega letting other devs work on their IPs (SOR4 was pretty fun/solid), I hope they wouldn't do that to Shining since Camelot has said they want to make a new one.

I would much rather that Tony Taka be still in charge of the designs but the actual gameplay/story be handled by Camelot or something. Tony design's aren't as charming as the older games to me (or even titles like EXA or Feather) but I'd be more ok with it as long as I could have the gameplay and story/world building I loved back.
