i have always had a maybe silly amount of nostalgia for this game despite having barely played it in my teens, largely due to the love shown for it in the game magazines i read religiously back then (egm, gamefan, etc). i had my snes and zelda 3, but i was still young and couldn't afford much—shining force 2 was one of the foremost among the many games i coveted.

anyhow, suffice to say this game deserves to be remembered and rediscovered. if you've never played it before (perhaps if you've liked any fire emblem), give it a shot.
