Prepare yourself... Shining Force NEO Website it's so beautiful

If this game lives up to my expectations then Final Fantasy better watch out. Sega might just dig themselves out of the rut they have been in.

Check out the site and trailers, The trailer with this image is awesome :thumb: (cant direct link to video)

The in-game looks amazing, lots of bright colorful textures and of course the cg/anime cutscenes are nice also

The RPG genre in general should have more variety like this. Turn based is what most people are used to and have a hard time liking different styles.

Action RPG's seem to be growing in popularity with developers. Tales of Symphonia had a really awesome battle system IMO, also the upcoming YS: Ark of Napishtim has a great action system aswell that is great from the demo I played.

The battle style in RPG's that I buy dont really effect my decision to buy it. I thought Kingdom Hearts was going to be a huge disaster but turned out to be one of my all time favorite games.

Shining Force Neo is actually not a spin-off. It's being considered the reinvention to the series. I understand why they would do this. Camelot, the original creators of SF, had a fallen out with sega. They ended up creating the Golden Sun games for nintendo and you can see where it actually has some shining feel.

It's not just the gameplay that has me bothered. They've taken alot for granted with charcter designs and even plot with this SF. If you don't follow me, I'm sorry. I've been a die-hard SF for along time. I suggest if you love SF..just go read the MB's or posts by the Number 1 rated SF sight out there..

I understand what your saying but are you sure that this is the reinvention of the series? I havnt read that statement before, although I loved the SF series on Saturn I am still really looking forward to this game.

Could be great for the series or just another one of Sega's flops. We'll see
