The Shining Source

I'm having a lil bit of a problemo here with weapons and armour...obviously in a normal shining force game you wouldn't have armour...but in mine you do.

So would the best solution to balance up the stats be for every weapon have armour thats of the same strenght? bit like yin and yang....?

Or should i just scrap having armour totally and use the standard defense levels? doing this however would in theory tho i'd end up ripping the whole system apart again and rewriting a few things.

any suggestions?

Shining Force 3 has a little bit of armour, and it works well. You can add resistance to certain types of armour if you're feeling brace - eg a piece of armour that protects you from fire, but is vulnerable again ice.

Armour strength seems to go up slower than weapon strength, but I haven't really played enough SF3.

The best way to balance is just to keep playing, as obvious as that is.

mmm well i've decided to keep it I guess there's no loss in doing so...can you remember in shining force 2, whether the the coins gained is displayed before or after a user is promoted...i was thinking afterwards for some reason...but i can't be 100% sure

After in my opinion...

It was after, I'm sure of it...

I will tell you now the I don't have any of these games other than Shining Force 1, but if you find armor, you should probably use it.  :arrow:  Check what good each peice of armor does before battle, check with your stats, and save first in case it is cursed.  I do the same thing with weapons.
