Starting with Shining in the Darkness is a good time, it was fun making all the maps on graph paper. But it's the later tactical RPG entries (1, 2, 3, and the game gear entries/CD) that the series is really known for, and they're quite fun. Avoid the PS2 and later nu-Shining games.

This and Sword of Vermillion were like the only games I thought were interesting on sega

Yeah sega is boring as fuck they don't really try with their games even when they first started, none of their later RPGs are as fun or have as much soul as the shining force series and the sword of vermillion. Phantasy star 4 and Dragon force are shit games compared to them.

I think I played Shining Force CD for a few hours many years ago... well I remember getting tired of the menus and slow battles. It can get very tiresome.

I recommend playing it on a phone or some shit and going back to it.

Didn't get particularly far in sword of vermillion but idk how you could say phantasy star 4 is shit compared to it.

I played SF1 not long ago and found the battles pretty fast compared to something like FFT. They still got old closer to the end because of how many enemies there are. The game needs to move the camera all around the map to show them move a few steps.
