has anyone played shining force 2 (sega genesis)? it was probably the first rpg i ever played and i fell in love with. i played a few other of the shining series, but 2 was the first and my favorite. just wondering if anyone has played and what their impressions of this game are...
yeah, my cousin played and beat both Shining Forces and loved em. I watched him play a lot. Tryed playin it myself but i stopped for some reason. Very awsome game though. I like EarthBound better ^^.

Shining Force 2 was totally awesome, though it was more of a turn-based strategy game than an rpg, though it did posess the RPG element. Ahh who could forget the saga of (Hero) as he travelled with his friends around Granseal. All the while trying to stop the ressurection of Zeon. When you played, did you do the secret battle after the credits? Lol, you fight all the bosses at the same time. How cool is that!
yeah i did that battle, ahh the great game of my childhood

I had the game too, but I never played the secret battle, didn't know about it till a couple months afterwards, by then the game was gone. I used to love it though, one of the best RPG's on Sega Genesis, other than Phantasy Star 4 and Land Stalker.

The only reason I found out about it is because when the Light and Dark crystal were sitting there, glimmering, no button pressing would make you leave the screen. Back in those days, I was afraid to turn off my game if it did that (..a lot of Capcom games did that on SNES, i've begun to notice, but thats besides the point), so I just left it on. Pretty soon the battle music kicked up and the battle had started. I agree, its one of the best Sega Genesis RPG's out there, and it had to compete with FFVI and Chrono Trigger. Massive overshadowing there, but i'm glad to see it has a fan base still.
i still play shining force 2, i had to buy two copies from ebay, one didn;t work. and then my sega died, so i got one from a friend

Ahhh, good times. Shining Force 2 was one of the games my husband and I played when we first started dating, along with Phantasy Star 4, Syndicate, and all those other badass Genesis games. Yes, we were nerds in love. <3 <3 <3

OMG! Syndicate! 
I didnt think anyone else knew about that game. Did you know they made a sequal to it for PSX called Syndicate Wars? An equally awesome game.
