Tabonga | 2,531 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) What is your favorite final team for this game? I like this line up: Bowie (well duh since you have to have him). The flying corp - Chester (as a pegasus knight), Jaro and Peter The medical corp - Karna, Sara and Sheela as master monks One archer (usually Rhode as a brass gunner) Slade - who is pretty awesome once he gets up in levels - and he wields a mean gisarme. The dwarf contingent* - Randolph (who I usually pick before Karna at Creed's - Karna is quite capable of catching up level wise when you go back to get the others at Creeds), Jaha (as a baron) and Gyan. *I usually abuse the heck out of the blacksmith and get the best weapons for everyone. The dwarves get a rune axe, ground axe and an atlas axe (one of them will get the heat axe since there is not enough mithril). I equip the ground axe, move and then switch to the rune axe if attacking (or I use the atlas/heat axe to cast a spell) . This makes them little walking tanks with a bit of magic capability. (I am not big on magic in the SF games and prefer a strong ground force.) Edited March 19, 2020 by Tabonga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighab | 58 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'm ashamed to say Shining Force 2 is the only Shining Force game I haven't beaten. Got to the end with my party 10 years ago and kept losing and gave up for awhile. I did restart it a few years ago though. I really need to beat this one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabonga | 2,531 Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 In a lot of ways it is the best of the lot. Lots of secrets to unveil - and some exploring - both of which I like in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tall guy | 63 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 It's my least favorite of the trilogy, but still a great game, pretty sure last time my party was something like: Bowie Kazin (as a sorc, his wizard spells don't cut it). Slade Gerhalt Karna (mmnk) Sarah (mmnk) Frayja (with a mystery staff, aura is amazing) Tyrin Higgins (yeah he sucks, but I just like him) Jaha (brn) Rick (pgnt) and Peter, stupid overpowered Peter.

Tabonga | 2,531 Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 I just finished SF1 on the switch (from the Sega Genesis Classics) and started on SFII. The switch genesis classics has a quick save/quick load function. Which will certainly be handy when I get to the point where I have to harass* that parsimonious blacksmith until he gives me the best weapons. *In the original release I was often tempted to do this by throwing the controller at him after the umpteenth attempt to get a gisarme for Slade.

Tabonga | 2,531 Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 I just finished SFII and the switch version has a quick load/quick save feature - which makes getting that S.O.B. parsimonious blacksmith to cough up the better mithril weapons quite a bit easier - still tedious but you don't have to stand by the console and hit the power switch and reload ad nauseum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
