Shining the Holy Ark is a 1/10.I lasted five fucking minutes.What is this nonsensical fantasy bullshit? Airships, destiny, ancient evil, corpse-inhabiting fairies, some samurai-looking asshole on a statue. Who the fuck are these people and why should I care?And those obnoxious little chirping noises every time someone speaks. Jesus fucking Christ.Sega gave us Phantasy Star in 1987 with first-person 3D dungeons. Phantasy Star IV had already delivered a far more compelling RPG experience by 1993.And people are giving this a 9/10?What the fuck am I missing? Is this actually a masterpiece or are Saturn collectors just collectively losing their minds?

Are those avocados in your pants or are you just happy to see me?
>>12929251>>12929272Heavy Nights? Heavy balls.>>12929238If this is your first Shining game I can see why this one gave you a horrible impression. Camelot tried to figure out many things at once with this game and never got anything particularly right compared to the others in the series.
>>12929238>What the fuck am I missing? Is this actually a masterpiece or are Saturn collectors just collectively losing their minds?I haven't played it yet but "engaging battles" is the most common praise I've seen, which is rare in dungeon crawlers. The same developers made half a dozen Shining Force games in the 5 years before this one and they got that down to a T in those games at least, so I wouldn't doubt.
Interesting that the defense of this game is apparently that one should have played six other Shining games before being qualified to dislike this one. That's a rather telling admission.
>>12929238>What the fuck am I missing?About 99.99% of the game, assuming you actually only played five minutes. Only Shining game I played before this one was SF II, but I thought this was a pretty fun dungeon crawler. Dungeon design is good, a lot of secrets to find and environment interaction. Very cozy game, and there’s really nothing quite like it aesthetically; just thinking about it makes we want to replay it soon, even though my first playthrough was only about a year or two ago. The little plot there is does basically come to a halt during the middle 20 hours. I don’t play these games for story though, so didnt mind. If you actually enjoy the genre, I think you should give it a little more of your time before passing judgement. I really don’t think playing any other game in the series is a prerequisite to enjoyment.
