Shining Force is putting me to sleep. But... that's why I wanted it, so it's good? (-ish:-D)
Before that I played Shining in the Darkness (I made a post about it to help that community get started, although it is too highly specific so I don't expect it will survive).
I wonder if I should follow up with Shining Force II, but I tend to not want to finish it. All the extra stuff you want to do to level up your characters just leads to really long battles and then you Egress and do it all again and again - it feels too gimmicky, rather than natural.
But Shining Force is so simple and easy and short and fun so that one I enjoy:-).
