#Shining blade review Patch#
Shining Blade and Shining Ark translation patch projects are back on. If anybody can explain, correct or flesh out these plot points please do! Panis had been on Endias for how long? Little time on her home planet had passed I believe. I'm also confused in relation to Panis and her song and the End Giant.ĭid she want to bring End Giant to Endias in bitterness for the destruction of her colony? I'm confused as to why he is programmed to destroy Panis and Fried's ancestors relations to the Ancients (called the Enfield civilization). This purpose was to protect Endias if ancient weapons were unearthed in the future.The (true) final battle is with a Boss named "Thor" who I believe to be that or one of the ancient weapons. (A robot named α-DAM is left in the 'ruins' of the Ark for 1000 years to be reactivated by Fried. I'm not sure if a cryogenic chamber was also used. It might be man made with it's purpose to sustain life.įried is sent 1000 years into the future as his family have a time altering gift, similar to how Max&Kane were. there are lots of Phantasy Star Online similarities here.Īrcadia is far away from the other countries on Endias and has little contact. They are for all things considered Space Ships. Rather they are vessels from another (dying) planet (as far as I know unnamed and the setting for Shining Resonance) The Arks here and that in Holy ark are not related nor do they need to be to be interesting. It has more of a Shining feel to it again with the Japan Modern life inclusion that crept in during Shining Wind removed. it's kind of new and isolated yet still connected. especially with the game being more friendly than blade for non japanese people
The good thing is the gameplay is still pretty good and as the story is bad during most of the game, you can play the game without understanding the story.
#Shining blade review psp#
While there is some improvment from Shining blade and some crafting element from Heart are pretty good (but repetitive), the game suffer from the limitation of the PSP (4 character in battle in the place of 5 is because of that), a too fast devlopment and a mediocre story. there is no music you stille remember after shutting down the PSP (Shining blade music were better) While not being bad, the music in Shining ark are forgettable. it's not enough to save the story however these two chapter and the final chapter are interesting. Shining Ark story is not good, most of the story is just ininteresting slice of life with generic character and nearly no relation with the other Tony Shining (and Shining in general), but the 2 last chapter have a big and good twist with some reference to Shining the holy Ark and the original Shining force. There is also a final dungeon and hight level battle at the end. in Shining Ark, there is not the possibility to finish with different girls. The character quest are also here, with the Link attack being auto, they are more easy to unlock (far less repetive fight) but also far less in quantity (as there is only 7 character). and like in the battle the item needed in every quest is newn with graphic art and icon (and no more japanese text) making the game more friendly for non japanse people.
Shining Ark is also the sequel to Heart, so the game include a more complete and far better Weapon creation and upgrading system, many craft thing (fishing, making bread) and still grinding quest. The battle imenu is also better with graphic icon(similar to the one in the old shining) showing the effetct of every attack (and not kanji like in blade) so it's easier to play the game without japanese knowledge So the gameplay is inferior to blade but still good. In the positive thing, the Dash and protection are really effective, the turn based on speed is excellent, the ennemy IA is better, the battle map bigger, and the normal mode is a little more difficult. the loreilei systeme is also less present and IA controled character is a complete mess. There is also far less playable character (7 against 21 in Blade), and only 3 in same time (4 in the last chapter) against 5 in blade. The Link attack are now automatic with every character, dealing more powerful attack and making the game less strategic. While there is some enhancment from Shining blade, there is also the disparition of some excellent thing. Shining is an optimised version of the graphic engine of Shining blade, with bigger map, less aliasing, no slowdown, smaller loading, more enemy on screen and some very big boss Seeing the review of Shining by Kalkano, I ve thought I never made a Shining Ark review.
