The first named Shining Force game for consoles after Camelot departed for Nintendo - don't know why it bears the Force subtitle tbh, it's a Diablo-like instead of a strategy RPG. I haven't played Diablo but I like the core kill->loot->sell->upgrade->kill loop here, and the fun dynamic between Max and Meryl helped get me over the gargantuan 50-hour runtime. Could be a LOT better - I'm told EXA is, but I also don't know if I want to jump right into another one of these just yet.
