hyperbolically metafictive
and by 'new shining force' they mean 'new game bearing no meaningful resemblance to shining force'

Game industry's worst kept secret that doesn't involve zombies in Las Vegas.

Edit: Whats with all the announcement about the announcement lately? Or maybe its been like this for a while and im just noticing it now?

If it's as good as Exa the rest of the series can get fucked as far as I'm concerned.
Too many damn S-RPGs these days anyway.

You bite your tongue!

Shining Force II is one of the best games ever made.

makes good threads.
Is this going to be another one of the Sega-zombie's games that wears the skin of one of their previous franchises but underneath it doesn't actually resemble anything like it?

Hmm.

So wait, weren't all the other faux shining games just called like Shining Tears and the like? Were any of them (besides feather) actually referred to as "Shining Force"?

This is totally going to be the Wii one.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Shining series is not only focused on Shining Force. <_<

Heck, the first game isn't even a Shining Force game. >_>

I could understand the complaint if the title is Shining Force and it's not an SRPG (although I do like Exa), but complaining that the game is not a Shining Force game when the name isn't even Shining Force is kinda annoying.

Then again the people at Shining Force Central tend to be like that.
 
Yeah Sega has been doing this for the longest time. It's all good though considering outside of a couple exceptions all of the Shining games are decent to fantastic.

I think I'll have to snag a new battery for my Saturn and play some Shining Wisdom. Great soundtrack.

Please God let it be a real Shining Force game and not some other random BS like the other recent Shining games. Bonus points if it's a collaboration with Camelot. :p

I want Shining Force III, in its entirety.
Pretty much never going to happen.

Anyway, I believe this is the DS Shining Force game Sega showed awhile back. It looked interesting. I'd be willing to give it a chance.

The website says "in 17/04/09 All feelings will cross" or something like that.

Let's not forget about Sega's registered names:

Shining Force Feather is actually awesome, judging by the Gamekult review.
I was a bit surprised.
I didn't know anything about Flight Plan before, so I didn't expect anything great but damn I'm on the hype train now :D

It's nothing like the old Shining Force games, but whatever. It's a good game.

So I hope this new SF is a S-RPG too.

Flight Plan games can really range from totally fuck awesome (the GBA games) to totally batfuck shitty (the DS game). Their PS2 games all fall inbetween those. I, for one, welcome anything from them, but they really need to stick with SRPGs on the main consoles.
 
Went from a SRPG to a Diablo clone. What could be next?

Sega is taking the series into a first person point of view. Shining Force: King's Field ripoff coming your way.

I was thinking of making a Shining Force appreciation title the other day.

Man, I can only wish it would be like the classic games. Probably not going to happen :(
 
We already missed Wind on PS2, and SEGA is still silent about Feather DS (unless its getting a World Destruction-like localization, see you in 2011 DS game then) so I wonder what are the chances this new one will get localized and if that would be before Mayans vanish from the universe.

Well they did start off as first person dungeon explorers. I just hope it won't be some bad action rpg again...

Actually, a new Shining in the Darkness would be awesome.
 
Has anyone explored the possibility of Cross being renamed from Gear?

This could be Tales all over again. Where Sega trademarked more than one name, but ended up using only one.

Gear was the only sign of the next SF game, Cross was only heard of from the trademark database, plus the game's supposed to be out this year, and Feather just came out right?

It'd be very odd for more than two SF games to be out in one year right?

Hell, there have been some years where none were released, like last year right?

Edit: By the way, here's Cross' logo:

Shining Force Neo and Shining Force Exa were not SRPGs.

I am totally fine with new Shining releases that aren't SRPGs, though I would like to have one; I do NOT like, however, them making games with the "Force" name that aren't SRPGs.

Sega better not fuck this up FUCK



Oh.My.God.YES

I'd play it. Would be an excellent Shining Force...and worthy of being called Shining Force IV.

Wastes hours checking old Famitsu software data, but that's why we love him.
Sega is like totally the king of the internet countdown site.


Edit- when was Gears supposedly supposed to be coming out? August or September?

Shining in the Darkness was/is goddamn amazing. My favourite thing about it was the sequence at the beginning of every fight where the enemies would phase in one by one and screech.

Woum... woum... AUCK!
