"While the story is directly connected, the game shares little else with the rest of the series. Style wise it is very similar though. Much of the animation and music is reminiscent of Shining Force: The Legacy of Great Intention."

There is so much wrong with this line, I don't even know where to begin 1st: Shares very little with the series? Except for Style maching SF:LOGI, plot following SF2, and gameplay mechanic following Shining Holy Ark?? IT DOES SHARE STUFF WITH THE REST OF THE SERIES 2nd: Reminiscent of SF: LOGI? SitD came out first!!!!!!! SF: LOGI is reminiscent of this, not the former.

[edit] Shining and the Darkness

Shining in the Darkness can't be 24 mb. Sonic 2 was the first 16 mb cartridge, and it was released after Shining in the Darkness. (I don't know if it's 12 or 8 mb)

Come to think of it... I remember from a poster advertising differenty games, that used to ship with Megadrive (Genesis) cartridges, it advertised the game as 8 MB (which back then I confused with 8 bit  ;-) Gnorn 21:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Should there also be a page called Shining and the Darkness which redirects to this page? Shining and the Darkness is the Japanese name for this game.

Let's see... Shining and the Darkness... Done. I suggest reading up on WP:REDIRECT so you won't have to ask next time. Nifboy 18:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minor Fix-Up, and...

I did 2 minor fix-ups: I got rid of the "c" in Mishaela's name (I have never seen it spelled that way, and spelling it that way conflicted with the article on Shining Force, the game) and added a space between "Dark Sol" and the information in parenthesis in the first paragraph. I was thinking of adding information on some of the characters (i.e. Pyra, Milo, maybe some of the King's advisors and such). Anyone else think this is a good idea? And, if so, possibly an image of the King and his advisors to go along with it (such as a screenshot from the game)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.73.28.81 (talk) 23:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Shiningdarkbox.jpg

Image:Shiningdarkbox.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
