Shining Force III: Scenario 1

Background

As the territorial war between the Aspinian Republic and the Destonian Empire escalates, a peace conference is called to take place in the neutral city of Saraband. However, things don't go quite as planned and one of the Republican representatives, Synbios, gets pulled into a vicious plot of ambition and back-stabbing that threatens to destroy his country.

Gameplay

The first part of three, the choices you make in Scenario 1 will influence events in the second and third installments. An RPG with heavy influences from the strategy genre, Shining Force 3 places emphasis on tactical, turn-based battles. These are intersperced with towns and other detailed locations where the complex plot is played out.
