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.

Eternal Sonata
Eternal SonataEternal Sonata is a role-playing video game developed by tri-Crescendo and published by Namco Bandai Games. The game is centered on the Polish romantic pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin, who died of tuberculosis at the age of 39. The story envisions a fictional world dreamed by Chopin during his last hours that is influenced by Chopin's life and music, and in which he himself is a playable character, among others. The game's battle system centers on musical elements and character-unique special attacks. Light and darkness play a part in the appearance and abilities of enemies on the battlefield, as well as the types of magic that can be cast. The game features a selection of Chopin's compositions played by pianist Stanislav Bunin, though the original compositions were composed and arranged by Motoi Sakuraba. It is notable for its use of classical piano pieces, educational cutscenes featuring real paintings and photographs (in contrast to the cel-shading graphics of the game) and lush landscape design.
