The intro to the game is really memorable, and sort of establishes a deep interest in the story. The turn based strategy is also very challenging, later in the game. A very traditional heroic Japanese RPG plot as well. Well worth your time if you enjoyed Final Fantasy Tactics or Front Mission etc.

This game is a perfect JRPG in 90s. It's like a fairy tale fantasy book, but as a game. All characters have a stories, game have a lot of secrets, so every new game can have a difference, even levelling here is fun. Its a shame that it do not have remasters or remakes.
The single greatest RPG ever put on to the Sega Genesis platform. This was a game ahead of it's time and a real joy to play. The opening, the characters, the story, what a great game that deserves to see the light of day once more.
To this day, I still play this game. Nearly everything bout it is superior to the first, and even the most frustrating parts (I"m looking at you, Dwarven Blacksmith!) are oddly endearing and fun for me. My cousin and I played this game to death. Each of us kept trying to find new things to surprise the other with and it ended with both of us bonding over a game we loved. It needs to be on GOG because it represents the best of the classic Shining games. It's a timeless RPG and it should be shared with everyone forever.
There are no words that can express what that game means, from my childhood. Everything in it is magical: the story, the graphics, the music, the gameplay, everything. I wish to all the kids, and especially to my own, to hold such a beautiful video games in their heart as they grow up. Like I do with Shining Force 2.

This update will be released alongside a seasonal league which is what the update is usually named after. A lot of changes and additions were announced for the skill gem system, items will now have a set number of sockets for active gems and those gems are where support gems are equiped. There will be a separate menu screen for skill gems to make it easier to view and manage gems. There will be a default of 9 active gem sockets available from standard items, 2 from each item in hand (4 for a 2-handed item), 2 from body armors, 1 from helms, gloves and boots. Specific rings, amulets and unique items will still add additional sockets or gems to the new skill gem menu. Active gems can have up to 5 support gem sockets based on the gems item level with available sockets linked by default. A new gem class, currently called meta gems, will allow both active and support gems to be socketed on them, curse on hit and cast on crit support gems would be changed to these meta gems. Jeweler and Chromatic orbs will now be used on active/meta gems to customize the available support sockets and fusing orbs will be removed from the game

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Dragon Age: InquisitionWhen the sky opens up and rains down chaos, the world needs heroes. Become the savior of Thedas in Dragon Age: Inquisition. You are the Inquisitor, tasked with saving the world from itself. But the road ahead is paved with difficult decisions. Thedas is a land of strife. Factions constantly war with each other even as a larger demonic invasion has begun. And you? You and your band of champions are the only ones who can hold it together. It’s your job to lead them… or fall. Enthralling, Choice-driven Narrative – You’re not just deciding who to send into which battle in Inquisition, you’re making important decisions that shape the future of Thedas. Each choice carries weight, and your actions can lead to a variety of outcomes. Inquisition is a highly personalized journey, where one wrong move could set in motion a series of events that alter the physical aspects of the world itself, making your Thedas – and your heroes – feel truly unique. A Massive World to Discover – The world of Thedas has never been bigger or more detailed; it’s wide open, and ripe for exploration. Discover enemy keeps ripe for the taking. Unearth hidden caves filled with lurking creatures. Thedas is vast and dangerous, but uncovering its secrets can spell the difference between victory and defeat. Intense, Strategic Combat – There’s no wrong way to play Dragon Age: Inquisition… except for the way that gets you killed. Fortunately, the optional strategic view gives you a god’s-eye vantage on battle. Time stops while you plan in this view, but if that’s not your style, you can just barrel ahead, crossbows blazing.
