Together Retro: Shining Force

[DinnerX]

Also something I didn't realize until tonight - many weapons (the special ones) can be used as items too. ex: The Sword of Light can be used to attack with Bolt2, and the Chaos Breaker Freeze3.

This can be extremely helpful. Especially if all you spell casters are dead or far away.

only been able to play in a few spurts, just started chapter 3. i've died about 3 times. it's getting to the point where i can't use my character as much from fear he'll get whacked and have to repeat the battle. does arthur stay useless? so far he's either missed, caused 1 hp damage and got killed in 1 blow. enjoying the game though. my first srpg.

Once Arthur gets a few levels into his promotion, he starts hitting his stride. He is, by FAR, the best centaur once he levels up. The problem is that he lags behind until then. If you have the patience, he gets really good. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

If Arthur is stressing you out and Mae has decent stats just focus on her and Ken. Then drop Ken later in the game once you have more characters such as Guntz or Bleu.

Really? I always thought it was Earnest that was the default best centaur...

20-25 hours average?
My run felt quick,a few hours a day and I was done in a week or so.

His stats generally spike in the upper levels, plus he can use magic.

Earnest is probably next best in the end, although he is the best in the middle to late-mid game.
