You can't have one without the other

Rudo, his face sullen as he bangs out the tunes: My wife and family were murdered by biomonsters.

About time I tried to organize all the rambling i do here.

Update: also organizing things even better on a website on Neocities, it’s still a work in progress but I hope to one day just replace this entire mess of links with it.

For now though, the mess of links below is the best we’ve got.

Shining Force:

partial translation of character bios from the Shining Force Encyclopedia (original scans here)

translations of the Shining Force Kouryaku no Tebiki Book (original scans here), starting from the character bios, then getting to Max’s diary, the epilogue interview with Nova, and the Country Guide.

translations of the Shining Force World Book  (original scans here)

partial translations of the Shining Force Data Collection from Beep Megadrive magazine

Write up on the japanese pre release coverage of the game, including plenty of changed/removed content

Write up on unused content in the game seen through a ROM editor.

Some further investigation on unused content visible with walk through wall cheats: Khris’ scandalous secret line, unused NPCs in Alterone, and weirdness in chapter 7 and the debug mode (note: i have since then sadly confirmed that lines related to the unused event in Metapha are sadly removed in the JP version as well).

The unused content info is also summarized on TCRF as well.

that one post where i ramble a lot about the ending, including the japanese/english differences

All HQ quotes in the japanese and english versions

All special quotes from the ship HQ of Chapter 5, japanese and english versions
