Title: ANOTHER new Shining on the way!

"Famitsu reported that Sega is developing a new simulation RPG title in the Shining series, the destination platform is undecided." (Quote courtesy of The-MagicBox.com)

What is a simulation RPG? I wouldn't bet on it being a tactical RPG, but maybe more along the lines of an RTS? Who knows?

Would you buy it anyway?

The Shining Series (Not the action type seen as of late) is categorized under Simulation RPG.

So this... finally, could be the game we've all waited for.

Excellent news! Fingers crossed it's for the PS3 coz thats the console I aim to get ASAP. If not then I guess I will have to buy 2 consoles :P. Hey, I'm not missing out on it.

Does anyone know anything about Shining Force 3 being ported to another console. A few years back my brother said it was being ported to the PC. I don't think it's true but it would be great if it was! Damn multiple platforms...

You'll sooner see a camel pass through the eye of a needle than a repackaged, translated Shining Force III. I know Sega are on a misson to repackage ALL their games in a SEGA AGES-stylee, but it just won't happen. Ever.

Also, about the simulation RPG, I thought that's what SFNeo was touted as before it came out. Here's a quote from our good friends Dreamflint: "Shining Force Neo was originally scheduled to be a strategy RPG, but changed direction early in development"

We shall see.

Here it is everyone.

The new PS2 Shining! (http://www.the-magicbox.com/0607/game060715e.shtml)

Is it the new tactical RPG we've been waiting for?

Answers on a postcard, please.
