    Any word on if there will be a console version?

  • Raregroove

    Seems kind of odd to call it a Shining SERIES fighting game when they are only drawing from two of the games.

    • Kit

      Well, Heart and Blade is the most famous game of Shining series illustrated by Tony Taka, that’s why most characters come from these two games.

      Besides, may be this is a low budget game, so they only stick with one artist and most famous shining game he illustrated.

        So where’s Tears, Ark and Resonance?

        • Kit

          Ark pretty suck. Tears is too old. Resonance pretty new, so their characters might come later as patch.

    • Rafael Weber

      Persona 4 Arena games use a few characters from 3 too, but I think this doesn’t count as a example as it uses 4 in the title. But I don’t think we should bother with that. I liked more Shining Force games and it’s the older most people remember because they’re SRPGs but the franchise really started with a dungeon crawler. But this is a fighting game and this is irrelevant to this as Shining Force designs are pretty bland by now and it didn’t had many variety of spells. Seeing the characters in this game make interested in playing their own games too.

    Will it ever leave arcade?

    • Renaldi Saputra

      I don’t think so, but might eventually end like Dengeki Bunko

  • Noire Yoshida

    Rejection Card is wrong. It should be
    Rejection Guard.

  • Saddio

    They’re taking forever to put this on Vita so I can play it during work commute… damn you Sega!

    And omg the improvements/additions look orgasmic.
