Characters are just as colorful and are more detailed with an anime-like feel to them. The animation for characters in battle has also improved.Įnemies look more colorful and varied and some in later parts of the game are downright huge.
Some exceptions are the battles fought later in the game, one of them being at Mitula’s Shrine, as these battlefields look quite impressive and original. Unlike the first Shining Force the variety of battlefields in Shining Force II isn’t as great and sometimes gets repetitive. Battle animation has improved by leaps and bounds, with battlefields ranging from small, constricting caves to large landscapes. The graphics are much better than the first Shining Force and characters sprites are more colorful and better animated. Everything in Shining Force II has been improved. Shining Force II is a large game, with lots of towns and villages, ruins, secrets, characters to recruit and battles to fight. This little act of mischief soon leads our heroes to a great adventure across Grans Island and the continent of Parmecia as they discover the secret of Ground Seal and the fearsome King of Devils, Zeon. Astral is, however, called to the castle as the King was ill and Bowie’s pals Sarah and Chester decide to sneak into the castle with our eager hero in tow. He sets off for school early in the morning, meeting his friends and calling his teacher Astral to begin lessons. Players take control of the hero, Bowie, whose name can be changed. Back in Granseal Castle, the king is assaulted by a monster and this is where we begin our adventure. Slade then removes them not knowing of the big and boy do I mean BIG consequences for doing so. We see Slade, a kind of Robin Hood, and some companions entering the ruin, they explore a bit and enter a room with two jewels. The story starts out on a stormy night in some ancient ruin. Graphics, Music and Interface have all improved and make Shining Force II really impressive for a Sega Genesis game. What Shining Force II does is take the best elements from the first Shining Force and improves greatly upon them. As a strict follower and a fan of the Shining Force Series, I must say that, in my opinion, Shining Force II on the Sega Genesis is the best ever, with the Sega CD and Game Gear Shining Force games a close second.
