....this?

Wait what?

I used to love Shining Force, don't tell me it fell for the anime meme.

>>381876765
And improvement if you ask me.

>>381876765
Japanese players like cute girls. A lot of old franchises have done this.

The real after effects of the nuclear bomb have not been properly explored yet.

Pretty sure >>381876765 was just obligatory Sega wankery service dlc; actual characters look like this.

Unfortunately the gameplay is really mediocre and has shitty music sub-theme so gameplay is centered around playing music with their weapons. It fell for the idol culture meme, not anime.

Same franchise

When and why exactly did waifufaggotry take over?

It was never this bad in old vidya, and games never failed simply for not having it.

>>381877620

I-Is this at least a fire emblem situation?

Does it still play like the old games but with waifushit?

I can't just play FE forever.

>>381877765
It's worse than FE.
All hope for SF has been lost.

>>381877765
Nah it plays like a worse Tales of game with a lot more super armor enemies and a band gimmick. Plays nothing like the old Shining games.

Why even call it a Shining game then?

>>381878126
Marketing.

>>381878126
Brand.

>Those comments

>>381876750
Shining in the Darkness was a subpar dungeon crawler
Shining Force was a subpar TRPG
I haven't played the later games but from what I've heard they're subpar ARPGs
I don't see anything worth complaining about.

Most "old shining" fans are ponyfags and hate Tony Taka because he draws cute girls instead of the abominations they usually fap to.

>>381878126
Old Shining games weren't very homonymous either. Shining Force was nothing like Shining in the Darkness which was nothing like Shining Wisdom and so on. Though there was a really noticeable shift when the series passed from Camelot to Grasshopper. All the Force games from that point on were remakes of older titles.

Where's Jogurt?

In Japan, video games generally follow the culture created by other media.
When EVA was what was defining Japanese pop-culture, games got developed that reflected that.
Modern Japanese pop-culture is (and has been for like over a decade now) defined by idols. They got stuck and never moved on from it, like how western art culture is stuck in post-modernism.
