![]() ![]() This cuts off a little of the top and bottom of the picture, but we shouldn't be missing anything important. I'm using an RGB connection through a Framemeister to get a 5x upscale of the game. I'm playing the game using a physical copy on a real Model 2 Sega CD and Sega Genesis combo. From what I can tell Super Hard increases enemy stats slightly, and according the manual it changes the type and frequency of the items you will find, as well as increasing monster aggression and spellcasting. ![]() I don't have any plans to limit or bring specific characters into battle, but I will be playing the game on Super Hard difficulty. I did at one point play a little bit of Gaiden II via Nintendo's eShop (I think), but that was a very long time ago. I've never played Shining Force CD before. ![]() There is also a camp screen where you can do things like save the game, manage characters, and in some cases buy items from a shop.īook 1 of SFCD takes place 20 years after the events of the first Shining Force game (which I did a playthrough of a long time ago), giving us a glimpse of what happened to the members of the original Force after their battle with Dark Dragon. Instead there are brief cutscenes between fights to propel the story forward. The gameplay of these games departs from the original formula in that there are no town or field exploration sections. Being a Sega CD game, the graphics are vastly improved over the Game Gear versions, and the game features CD quality audio. Book 3 continues the story from Book 2, and while I'm not currently sure what Book 4 entails, I believe it is a smaller bonus thing, unlocked by finding a secret item. However, CD also features two additional exclusive adventures in Book 3 and the secret Book 4. CD is divided up into "books" with Book 1 (Towards the Root of Evil) being Gaiden, and Book 2 (The Evil God Awakes) being Gaiden II. Only Sword of Hajya was released in the US making CD the first (and only) official English translation of Gaiden that I'm aware of. It's a remake of two Game Gear Shining Force games - Shining Force Gaiden, and Shining Force Gaiden II: The Sword of Hajya. Shining Force CD is a tactical RPG released in the US in 1995 for the Sega CD. ![]()
