Mmmm...Shining force....

08-27-2002, 07:43 PM

lol.I think it's either Gamecube or PS2. All the Sakura Taisen games are going to PS2 and it would make the most sense financially but GC has Sonic Team and Camelot as heavy supporters.

ANYTHING but Xbox... ANYTHING I ASK YOU! Must... have... Shining Force!

Camelot adresses their involvement in the Shining series in a letter. This may make some of you cry.

Quote:

Moogie: "Would Camelot like to continue to work on the series?"
Taguchi-sama: "Shining Series is now developed by Sega. Such as the Shining Soul released a while ago. As well as the new Shining Force game announced in May.
I regret to tell you we are not participating in any Shining Series development now.
(I can't go into more detail on the reason why. Sorry about that.)
Although it's developed by different staff, it's a good thing Sega is continuing the Shining Series.
Right now we are putting our endeavor on making Golden Sun Series Camelot's new RPG masterpiece, or even exceed the success of Shining Series.

And when playng Golden Sun, don't you feel the true spirit of Shining Series is continued in Golden Sun?
At least that how we, the development team, felt. "

no not really. Shining Force just seems more epic and has better characters. Don't get me wrong I like Isaac, Garet, Ivan and the rest of the gang but it just don't feel the same. I'll take characters like Peter, Jaha, Kazin and Astral anyday of the week. Also at some points in the game it seemed like I was forcing myself to play. Altin Mines anybody? yuck! With Shining Force it was like I'd think about how tight it was gonna be when I get home from school and play some more ShF then I'd come home and play some more ShF! lol.

Anyways enough with my rant. Now that Sega is doing it by themselves it leads me to believe that it will likely be on PS2. If Sega was really going to do it for GC I'm sure Camelot would have helped. Anyways I'm sure Sega has plenty of people that used to work for Camelot so we shouldn't worry. If they just get people from the Shining Soul series and team them up with Overworks(srpg geniuses) they will make a damn good game.

Yeah...SF easily owns Golden Sun.

Overworks = Phantasy Star + Skies of Arcadia. Mmm...

Sonic Adventure 3 is going multiplatform? WTF? I thought it was going to GC exclusively.

Somebody didn't expect the next Sonic game to go multi-platform? Sonic is Sega's biggest franchise, why wouldn't it go to every system?

Pikahobbes · 08-31-2002, 12:45 PM

Well...Sonic Team is kinda pro-Nintendo...wouldn't this be hilarious is their definition of multi-system was GCN and GBA?

odds are Sega will put it on x-box
