I said in the forum which ROM I was using, but you didn't have to unlink the other ROMs.

5 new games plus? This is absurd.

Alurith 17 Aug 2021 15:43

I have to agree. At least it is worth 100 points though.

This game could really use some achievements for beating the battles within the turn limit, since it's one of the new features to this version.

5 new game +, oh my God... What the point?

bjoehanna 25 May 2022 17:35

take 5 new game pluses out pls.. that is not fun. the cards are hard enough ^^

Damn it's finally over ! Game is fun, set is overall great except for the grind for getting to the 5*. Once you have finished the game once with every cards it's mostly down to abusing Mawlock and knowing the couple of spots where you can braindead farm for hours. If I could offer a recommendation for the set, I think offering a fresh chapter 1 5* save with all cards would probably motivate more peoples to attempt completion and would reduce the tedium while keeping the challenge of the run intact. This game was also the last "true" Shining game I was missing and on top of that I managed to snatch the last spot of the top 10 !

Congratz Sines. I'm considering doing a run of all the shining games, but not sure which order to play in. Release or chronological order. If I do chronological order then I will have to reset my current SitD progress as that is way down the line, just before StHA and SF3.

Emoon 6 Jun 2022 14:34

Wait, did that insane Unstoppable cheevo just get downscored from 100 to 50!? There was some discussion on whether to allow a public savegame or to keep the score intact for the sake of past earners, and... now we have it bad both for old and new players. Seriously, it seems those decisions are taken with no regard for the community in any way whatsoever. What's next, changing the requirement to "Complete a 10-star game" instead?

Sines 6 Jun 2022 14:38

Don't joke about that, there is a full 30 page thread of SF Central dedicated to the madmen that did up to 99* runs !

thanks for the fun set alfex, i really enjoyed researching this shining force version.

jeftah 16 Aug 2022 23:41

It was rescored to 50 because there is a save file now available for those that don't want to do it legitimately. Meaning those of us that do get shafted.

I just keep failing to see why we keep giving in to these complaints that ultimately keep screwing over people who have an issue with the design of the achievement (ie only 100 pointa to run the game 5 times was a crime. Like someone auggested, throw in some incrementally scaling milestone achievements that lead into that 5* run) and not the challenge itself.

Sines 17 Aug 2022 00:03

As the last person that completed the challenge before the change, I still think it was a good idea. At the end of the day the challenge is to beat 5* with the stats increase, not to play for probably 10x time more than all of the other achievements combined. I also think that the challenge itself with the save provided is harder because you start with 0 cards. You cant cheese the early game with map AOE, you cant combo to have units get 3 action per turn + flight, you have no access to Mawlock's clones for controlling battle tempo etc... On top of that due to the stats increase you have no access to some cards like Narsha's boss, which are likely statistically impossible to get by that point. I'd say that the change is fair because you have two ways of going at it now: the old way, longer but easier, or using the new save, quicker but more difficult. The game is already long, trust me the grind to get to 5* really isn't interesting even if we had progressive achievements for it.

bjoehanna 31 Aug 2022 13:35

some of the fights are almost impossible in 5*... T_T Guess I should have looked up the farm places first

Alurith 31 Aug 2022 15:07

Grinding in the GBA is crap, except for Musashi and Hanzou. 5* isn't that bad with the right team. And positioning. It's hard to completely change the way you play the game, for new strategies, though.
