Shining Force 3 is the pinnacle of tactical RPG's. From dynamic story choices, amazing gameplay, voice acting so bad that it becomes amazing (in English at least), three different storylines all wrapped up into one big finale and the single best soundtrack ever created made by the best Video Game Composer ever, Matoi Sakuraba, all of that together gives you the single best game ever made.
The only thing that stopped this game from being a massive hit is timing. Terrible, terrible timing when it was coming out. 1997 is the start of Segas downfall and terrible decision making. Only the first of three parts even came out outside of Japan because of the quick launch and even quicker death of the Sega Saturn.
It fully came out in Japan and if you had proof of purchase of all 3 scenarios, you could get a special premium disk with all kinds of bonus features and 9 boss fights from Shining Force 3 and other Shining Force games as well, of which I still have them all in their original, Japanese glory.
This was one of the first games I ever played with my Father and it has stuck with me ever since. I will always love this game and I can never recommend this game enough. It's even got it's own dedicated fan translation that you can download so you can experience the entire game in English, with the first scenario being the Japanese translated script so you get all the story beats and name drops that were cut from the original release since we were never gonna get the other scenarios.
Please preserve this game and all of its glory. Share this everywhere and go try out the fan translation. 10/10, VERY highly recommend.
This game was my white whale as a kid. We couldn’t afford a Sega Saturn at the time. The complete game never came to the US, only the first scenario (out of 3) made it out of Japan.
Ahh Shining Force 3.. Such a masterpiece and easily my top pick. This game is really a true hidden gem and it's a real shame that Scenario 2 and 3 were never translated or released in the Western markets. I've always loved Shining Force and I remember playing it when I was a kid. Didn't understand the game that much because English isn't my main lanquage. Years later I discovered and played Shining Force 2, which also is a masterpiece. And eventually about 5 years ago I discovered SF3 and I immediately fell in love with it, it is my top 10 game of all time. The game's story is pretty good in my opinion even for today's standards and the gameplay is very addicting and fun. Although the game is incomplete without Scenario 2 and 3 even if we would get Shining Force 3 Scenario 1 I would be very happy. Please do it.
I’ve never actually played shining force 3. I’ve played the first 2 shining force 2 is one of my all time favorite games. That said I’ve always dreamed of playing it ever since I learned it existed but I can’t afford it or the console. Please help fulfill a dream I’ve had since I was 13 years old and let me play this masterpiece finally!! I’m 40 I’ve been waiting 25+ years for this!!
SF3 is my favorite game of all time! I bought a Sega Saturn several years back just to play this game.l and was not disappointed. I got the second and third scenarios in translation and had to figure out how to make it work just to play them.
One of my favourite games of all time. I was lucky enough to play Scenario 1 on the Saturn at launch. Had to wait 20 years to finally finish it and play the fan translations of Scenarios 2 and 3. It’s a masterpiece that far too few people have played.
The Shining Force series is one of my favorite SRPG series of all time. They are my comfort games. I usually play through them once every couple of years. They have so much replayability due to the large cast of varied characters and charming world building and storytelling.
Definitely my favourite game of all time. One of the best Tactical RPG ever made. The story, the characters, the gameplay, the music, the atmosphere. I bought a Saturn 20 years ago only to be able to play it and what an incredible experience! It's a shame that game doesn't have the glory it deserves. I will always be mad at Sega for what they made about the franchise after that.

Phantasy Star Online: Blue BurstPhantasy Star Online: Blue Burst, a port of the Xbox version, was released for Microsoft Windows in 2004 through digital distribution, featuring both Episode I and Episode II, and adding a new Episode IV, NPCs, quests, team system, and server-side saving system.
The Phantasy Star Online titles are a sub-series of Sega's Phantasy Star series of games that began in 1987. With the exception of Episode III, the PSO games themselves are hack and slash role-playing games where the player slays monsters, levels up, buys new equipment, etc. The online Phantasy Stars differ from the previous games of the series by offering a real-time – rather than turn-based – approach to combat, seamlessly integrating this with exploration and plot developments.Action Fantasy Science fiction Sandbox
Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II PlusSEGA re-released in 2003 an updated version of Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II for the Nintendo GameCube in 2003 called Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus.
Early in the effort to run unsigned code on the GameCube, people found that when playing PSO and connecting to a server using the GameCube Broadband Adapter, a regular PC could be made to pretend it was a server which would fool the game.
After making the connection, data could be streamed back to the GameCube, making it easy for hacking and false servers. Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus was created in mind to fix this problem. Along with this problem, SEGA included extra content for offline with this game including:
- Episode II Challenge Mode, which was perviously only online.
- Perviously Online only quests, Seat of the Heart, West Tower and East Tower are now available offline.
- Central Dome Fire Swirl, a downloadable quest for the Xbox, is now available offline.
- The downloadable goods from Fake in Yellow quest are now available offline.
Aside from some extra cheat protection, Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus ran exactly the same as the original version and all data from characters, items, ect, can be swapped between the two instantly.Action Fantasy Science fiction Sandbox

Drawful 2The team behind the hit party games Fibbage, Quiplash, and YOU DON’T KNOW JACK presents Drawful 2, the game of terrible drawings and hilariously wrong answers!
You use your phone or tablet to draw weird and funny things like “pitcher of nachos” or “death by trombone.” The other players type in what they think the (probably terrible) drawing is and those become the multiple-choice wrong answers. Then everyone - even an audience of potentially thousands – tries to guess the REAL answer.
Drawful 2 is a go-to party game that everyone can play and enjoy!Comedy Party
Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VIIDirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII is an action role-playing third-person shooter. As the first shooter game in the Final Fantasy series, the action is viewed from an over-the-shoulder perspective similar to Resident Evil 4, although players can switch to a first-person perspective if they wish. Defeating enemies yields EXP, and at the end of each stage, the player can either use that EXP to level up, increasing Vincent's stats, or convert it to Gil (the in-game currency), which can then be used to purchase items and equipment upgrades.Action Fantasy Science fiction
