While the Phantasy Star series of RPGs will forever remain the best RPGs as far as characters and story lines go, Shining Forces II has by far my favorite battle system in any game ever. It has a turn-based battle system, and characters with RPG-like powers and equipment. This game is great!

Shining force 2 is 1 of the best games for sega genisis, along with Shining Force 1. The 2 games are my most favorite games out of any system and i think they should bring it back to todays systems just like they did for toe jam& earl. Please put it on playstation or one of those systems.

Shining Force 2 took everything about SF1 and made it better. This game is amazing. The fun factor is overwhelming, the story is fun and epic, and the gameplay is addictive and challenging. I have played through this title several times and I love it every time, it is probably my favorite video game period. If you have a Genesis, and you play RPGs, it is imperative that you own this game.

yeah

Like the title states, Shining Force I and II were my first RPGs. I started the former in 2nd or 3rd grade and I can't remember how many times I've played them both through. There's no comparing either one of these with Final Fantasy Tactics. In SFII there are nothing but improvements. Graphics, music, weapons and even the ability to shake up the order of play a bit. (I would say the first one is a little bit harder b/c of the boss battles). Def. a must buy if you're looking for a great game that's just really fun. I also recomment Vandal Hearts for the PS1. Similar style with a battle system that rivals (maybe tops) the Shining Force series.

the best strategic RPG ever in my opinion

hehe, this game is just absoloutly great in every way...hmm where to start?

For one thing, the graphics for the time, are jaw dropping. The music, while not superb, is nice, and the storyline is great. But the main thing that made me like this, is that unlike the other strategy rpgs ive played (Vandal Hearts, Front Mission 3 etc...), the battles were a lot less repetitive and seemed to have more relevance to the story.

The best Genesis game ever made, I reckon.

Pretty Good

Shining Force II has to be the best game ever. The graphics are very good, considering it's on the 16-bit Sega Genesis. The music is very nice. The varied cast of characters really rocks! The map could stand to be a bit smaller though, it was very easy to get lost there. However, the outstanding battles and towns make up for that. It's one of those classic "rescue-the-princess-from-the-evil-king-and-save-the-world" game, but with a very creative twist to it. Finally, I give this game 5 stars for its excellence and I hope they make another game of its same quality.

Yes I think this game is pretty fun. If you like roleplaying games. Now this is classic role playing game you got the hero then you have to defeat the person that is trying to destroy the world.
