1. Shining Force 1 (Genesis)
2. Shining Force 2 (Genesis)
3. Shining Force 3 Part I (Saturn, Parts II, III, and Premium Disk Japan Only)
4. Shining Force Gaiden (Game Gear, Japan only)
5. Shining Force Gaiden 2 (Game Gear, Shining Force: Sword of Hajya in US)
6. Shining Force Gaiden Final Conflict (Game Gear, Japan Only)
7. Shining Force CD (Sega CD, upgraded versions of the first 2 Game Gear Gaiden titles plus 1 extra episode and 1 extra battle, 4 games total)
8. Shining Force: Resurrection of Dark Dragon (GBA, remake of original Genesis Shining Force 1)
I think that is all of them. I'm not counting any game with "Shining" in the title that is NOT a tactical/strategic RPG in the traditional Shining Force manner such as Shining in the Darkness, Shining the Holy Arc, Shining Wisdom, Shining Tears, Shining Soul, or either of the lame Shining Force games for the PS2)
I have heard of a couple of Shining Force games for mobile phones but I believe they are all in Japanese. This means that the last TRUE Shining Force game was #3 for the Saturn (I'm not counting the GBA remake of the original)
My first experience with the series was Shining Force 3 on the Saturn. It was the first game of its type that I had ever played and I LOVED it until I hit a battle I could not win. I gave up years ago but still kept the save on a memory cart. Then I played the GBA game and got hooked all over again, finally learning how to play it in the process. I've since finished it and Shining Force CD. I'm going to start on Shining Force 2 soon (skipping the original as I hear the GBA update is better) and then I'll be ready to try Shining Force 3 again. I'm curious to look at what my old character stats look like after all this time... it's been at leat 7 years and I had no idea what I was doing back then.
Any news on this awesome series? Anyone know if there will be a part 4? How about the phone versions? Has anyone translated Final Conflict for the Game Gear?
