New: 0868 - Shining Soul (E)

[KiVan]

OMG This is the best RPG I've played in ages! YaHoo!Â

that means that this is the first RPG you played

p.s. this is not even a rpg

 

[dice]

LOL KiVan.

This starts that old argument again
about what is or isn't an rpg.
There were a lot of people who said zelda
wasn't an rpg, so what is it that actualy
defines something as an rpg?

 

[Smith]

An RPG is defined by it's party elements. It's like a cross between an adventure and a wargame. As a result, it generally involves a heavier emphasis on strategy and tactics than something like Zelda. Zelda is that rarest of genres these days, an Arcade-Adventure.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to try Shining Soul

 

[G.O.D]

well anyway its a good game so just play it

 

[phuzzz]

Shining soul is closest to shining wisdom on saturn than on shining force on genesis. Nothing comparable to PSO on Dc where there was a true story extremely hidden and interessant side quests and download quests (where the story was developped in fact). Giving a 7/10 to this game is quite generous knowing that the game play. What i don't appreciate is that this game lives on a name the "shining" series but is just a commercial game. As a shining addict i will play it to the end (just to see if there is any link with the serie but i think there is none, just probably the shining sword displayed in this game for a commercial reason) and hoping that shining soul 2 will be better however.

SEGA sur GBA c'est n'importe quoi.

Well, I haven't really played Shining Wisdom. It's just the begining was so like the begining of Shining Force.

aw man all my sites are dead x.x cant find it

 

[mekaxero]

seems only 2 ways this could be dumped by now. someone's so called review copy must have gotten dumped, or the rumor of it being out in France is true, as the release date was just pushed back to March 7th. love getting games early.

 

[dumbsioux]

My site has it. It looks like a cool game. I might play it. Tell me how it is if you have played it.

 

[Elrinth]

I'd say Zelda is a ActionRPG, or plain Adventure.
Secret of Mana is a ActionRPG, but noone calls it an adventure game, ne?

 

[lonely driver]

another disappointment

. I had high expectation for Lunar Legend, turns out to be a disappointment. Now this. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad game, but it doesn't come close to golden sun, which I secretly hoped for. Now it's waiting for Lufia.....

What a load of BALLS!!!!
RPG means ROLE PLAYING GAME, therfore if you are playing the ROLE of the character on screen it is an RPG.
Simple.

Basically this IS an RPG and KIVAN you are so so wrong.

 

[ivans the man]

I can't save it!Please help.

 

[ivans the man]

Please help!I need to be able to save so i can play the game!

 

[X-Gamer]

Do not double-post. The game saves automaticely when you choose the Quit option.

 

[arun12345]

I might make a strategy guide for this game when I am playing it... Well better start working! :\

 

[Octavious]

hey ini a scence this is kinda like diablo yeah
i wish they would out that on gba *frowning

 

[arun12345]

VBA automaticlly saves the game when you quit?!?

 

[aaaaaa]

I actually quite like this game

very diablo-ish...

 

[X-Gamer]

VBA automaticlly saves the game when you quit?!?

No. When you press START during gameplay, 4 menus shows up (Items, Status, Options, End). Obviously, you choose the End option to quit gameplay; that's when the game saves your progress.
