looks great.

*enters anti-whining bunker*

And the game looks like Kingdom Under Fire the Crusaders, only with shitty J-pop and cute animals. Maybe It'll be more playable than we think

 

[Guns N' Poops]

Why is it an ARPG?...

 

[Hotsuma]

This is the co-op Action/RPG, right?

No, Shining Tears is. But this is also an ARPG....

 

[Bog]

I just wish I knew why. Why.

 

[Mejilan]

It doesn't look terrible, and it could be lots of fun.

But this isn't Shining Force.

 

[GhaleonEB]

But this isn't Shining Force.

The series has long since used different titles to differentiate the genres, all using the Shining moniker. I've owned Shining Force 1&II, Shining in the Darkness, Shining Wisdom and Shining the Holy Ark. Why the fuck is Sega using the Shining Force name when this is so clearly not Shining Force?

 

[nitewulf]

wow, that actually looked pretty impressive. cheesy themesong, which is always a good sign.

I dunno, I own all of the Shining games released in a America, in one form or another, and it irks me to no end that they've broken their own solid naming convention. That's Sega though, they only piss me off these days.

 

[nitewulf]

ah, but this is Shining Force Neo, not Shining Force 4.

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

ah, but this is Shining Force Neo, not Shining Force 4.

I'm holding out for that myself. Not saying I don't like the look of Neo, because I do, but I don't want it to signal the end of the SRPG Shining Forces.

 

[Hotsuma]

No matter what Sega does, someone would find something to bitch about.

 

[Piecake]

This game is like the complete opposite of the Shining Force games i knew and loved

It looks pretty good, but after watching the trailer im more disapointed in the way this game is shaping up.

 

[Ferny84]

Why do all these games start/end with a fruity song?

 

[Foobar]

No matter what Sega does, its always something stupid.

Fixed

Really, they can throw "Neo," "Alpha," "Zeta," or "Omega" behind it, but if the word "Force" follows "Shining," if better fucking be a Strategy RPG.

Shining Tears, yeah, action RPG. That's fine. Shining Force Neo, WTF?

Instead of worrying about what style the game is, how about caring if this game actually turns out to be good? Sega needs to make more quality games, period. It doesn't matter what genre the games fall into.

 

[Foobar]

Instead of worrying about what style the game is, how about being worried about the game actually turning out well?

I really don't care how it turns out, its going to be more brainless hack'n'slash fodder for ths PS2. Sega sold out one of their best yet again. First Shenmue, now this shit.

 

[Unison]

I think it looks lots of fun, but I don't see where there is going to be any strategy required.

 

[BenT]

You have to admit that it looks to be a good test of your "push the stick towards enemies and hit the X button" skills.

It looks like a possibly decent game with a very wrong title. The mini bunny person is cute.

Can I invest in some of your time travelling company stock, please? My family needs to eat and I've got to get onto a sure thing this time

 

[RiZ III]

Wow, those battles look awsome and seem like a lot fun.

 

[Quartet]

me like. sure look better and less gay than what square is ofering since the playstation, so it feel more old school RPG to me.

It seem like a mix of phantasy star online and skie of arcadia.

 

[Andy787]

That looked very, very surprisingly awesome. Graphics look like the Unlimited Saga CG, looks fantastic in motion. I even liked the shitty Jpop song.

 

[jiggle]

The real time graphics look really really good.

The airship landing scene reminds me alot of Arc the Lad.

 

[teepo]

i rather have xzibit make music for this game then have that shitty jpop song.

 

[GermanOfficer]

It looks nice and seems to have even some FMV's in it but will there ever be a true Shining Force again?
Why does Sage change this series so much?

 

[hooded pitohui]

Eurgh. Looks disappointingly generic. I'll probably bite if it has a solid battle system, though.

 

[Volt]

Graphics = good !

No strategy (or anything remotely reminding me of Shining Force) = no sale !

 

[sprsk]

get over it, its not an srpg. stop crying like little babies.

 

[belgurdo]

:lol :lol :lol welkum to teh GAF

 

[Cloudy]

Wow, that looks horrendous. Down with dungeoun crawlers!!!!!!!!!!!!


PS: I like the song and anime cutscenes tho

it does seem like they put alot of work into the cutscenes. this game being a series of dungeons would be true to shining force form, seeing as shining force is essentially a bunch of battles strung together with towns that contain plot stuff.

Sega are kings of almost giving fans what they want, but then screwing them somehow.

Hey guys, we've got a new Phantasy Star!...and it's a real time, non-RPG online!

Does the idea of a Virtua Fighter RPG excite you? Well get ready...here's Virtua Quest!

Who wants a new Shenmue? Well you're in luck. Presenting...Shenmue Online!

Do you love Panzer Dragoon Saga? You're not alone. So today we're here to show you...a new Panzer Dragoon shooter!

Don't think we don't know how much you guys like NiGHTS. So get excited...NiGHTS GBA download!

Knowing the demand for a new Shining Force, Sega have brought you....Shining Force Neo! We got rid of that annoying strategy stuff too!

Not that Sega don't give fans what they want sometimes (Outrun 2), nor does ignoring what they want mean bad games all the time, but it just seems that sometimes Sega go out of their way to get their fans' hopes up, then screw them over.

this one doesnt count.

 

[Mama Smurf]

I know a lot of people like the shooters, and that they came first, but not too long ago it was hard to get Sega fans to shut up about PDS. I think there were higher hopes for that than another shooter.

Still, drop it from the list if you like, leaves plenty of others.

i have hope for this game though, it does look rather good.

Thanks for synthesizing everything that is wrong with Sega today. Though the list could be MUCH longer

[duckroll]

Hey guys, thanks a fucking lot. I come into this thread all ready to somehow troll Shining Force Neo for being a lame action rpg and all, but instead I see that list, lower my head and cry. Great job! Sega's in a pretty deep slum now and it seems the only person that can shut up jaded ex-Sega fanboys like me are even MORE jaded ex-Sega fanboys. >_<
