Characters look PSOish, no?<p>Which is good.

[Mizehrith]

Looks promising!

All I can say is it's about freaking time! The look of the game reminds me of Ys VI (graphically)... and I'm glad to see a 2D look, though I'm sure it'll be 3D.<p> <blockquote>Characters look PSOish, no?</blockquote><p>I don't see it.

I found the official websites for Shining Tears, and the other new Shining games coming out. Of course being able to read Japanese would help, but you can always use Babel Fish to translate the page for you (http://babelfish.altavista.com/). This link will take you to a hub (so to speak) for the three new Shining games (Tears, the GBA remake, and a new Shining Force as yet untitled):<p>http://shining-world.jp/

NOOO!<br>Not a good Sega RPG on the crap console... !@#$ <br>Plus, it wouldn't sell anyway next to all the other RPGs.

[zoothe]

Are you ever optimistic?

[PSLassic]

<blockquote>Sega has stated their intentions to bring back the "Shining Force" RPGs.<br> <br>A company spokesperson claimed that a Shining Force RPG is being developed as we speak, exclusively for the Game Boy Advance. The new GBA RPG will be "Shining Force Revival".<p>Shining Force Revival revives the origin of the series by basing the game on the original "Shining Force" for the Mega Drive console. Shining Force Revival will release this August in Japan. The game will boast a card battle system as well as high scale graphics.<br></blockquote> <p>What? A card battle system?!?! I'm happy there finally making a new Shining Force game but a card battle system, meh....

[Lord Khyron]

Card battle system works in Episode 3! I mean my god I love it!!<p>I've got to find a new combo!

[HuBBsDoctor]

We argued its graphical processing ability. And as for quality, its got tons of great games that you never been bothered to try and play.

I've never been a huge fan of Sony, but I agree that the PS2 has got more than enough good games to warrant buying the system. I still think the Dreamcast had the potential to blow all the current systems out of the water, but that was not to be. And so, games that should have been released on it are now released for the GameCube, PS2, and Xbox. It's a shame yes, but boycotting the system will only limit the games you are able to play. I've loved the Shining games ever since Shining in the Darkness; and if Sega came out and said "We're only going to release Shining Tears on the Xbox." then I'd probably bite the bullet and buy a used Xbox so that I could play the damn game. But as luck would have it, they're releasing it on the PS2 (which I already own)! With the new Shining games, the PS remakes, a possible Ys VI release, Growlanser, and who knows what else... it's a good system to own.

it looks great i know im gonna get it. However one thing bugs me about it. They copyed a character from another game and that pisses me off to no end. The character Volg in this looks almost identical to Volk from the fourth Arc the Lad game. the only main difference i see is that Volg uses claws while Volk used an axe. Even their names are pretty much the same. but other than that i love what im seeing

<blockquote>We argued its graphical processing ability. And as for quality, its got tons of great games that you never been bothered to try and play.</blockquote> <br>That's not all you argued to start with. Programming for it has been made hell. The only thing going for it is its popularity, because if it wasn't popular it would never have had good games.<br>Its graphical processing ability doesn't even compare to Dreamcast. Mind you, both the Dreamcast and GameCube have compression in their VRAM. With that, the Dreamcast reaches 28 MB of VRAM. GameCube reaches 32 MB. The PS2 has no compression. As you say, graphics will indeed take longer to show up, but it will be at the cost of processing power, draining the PS2 and making it inferior to the Dreamcast. Its badly designed.<br>And as of now, there are not that much games that interest me, and believe me, I do have an idea on what there is to offer. And I'm not interested in tons of little RPGs, endless sequels and many crap games, which is a fair part of what it has to offer. The other stuff doesn't really catch my attention. There's not much innovation either. I prefer gameplay and story over graphics/FMV.<br>Plus I would never get used to the pad which as names for the buttons has symbols, which is unhandy.<br>And then we're not even getting to the point of what the system and the games cost (much here in the EU), and that the system breaks down easily in many cases after 2/3 years of use.<p>[size=small][Edit by Benoit on [TIME]1083502617[/TIME]][/size]
