#shining force#ressurection of the dark dragon#sfrodd mawlock#shining series#long post#sfrodd hq dialogue#man this one is such a disappointment#way too bland for mawlock's fun fourth wall breaking shtick and also kind of nonsense#why pretend mage is a fake word for scientist when you'll acknowledge the existence of mages later on#magic exists in this setting bro what the hell are you talking about#also do the cards capture the soul itself or some sorta impression of it? the latter makes more sense#given that we collect cards of living people with powers based on them but not exact clones#either way did the girl consent to any of this as well? i know the writers don't care lol#also mawlock telling the story like a long lost myth kinda annoys me#because he's otherwise the guy that knows the truth behind a lot of ancient stuff#like okay sure a man can't know everything but still. disappointing vibe wise#he shows more knowledge about that teleporting machine than his own weapons of choice apparently#weird#using soul stuff though while being similar to a thing called the soul eater... hmmm#i know he's not too similar to the soul eater but. i still feel it in my heart okay. i'm connecting the dots#oh again i forgot to make more fun of him#'it must be fate that brought us together' my brother in christ you shoved yourself in the narrative on purpose#you busted through the wall like 'this is a remake i'm here to bring the extra content'#and the extra content was narsha so thanks but also shut up

love how the og game is like “Khris has surprisingly high attack” and then the gba remake comes like “cool let’s give her the two best weapons of chapter 2″

also i continue to lose it at the plot being occasionally interrupted to remind us that Max and Mawlock have their own tcg quest going on the side. Maybe in a more serious story it would be annoying but here it works just fine, it’s just one more fish out of water thing for fish out of water Max to deal with, and it doesn’t interrupt important character moments of plot beats anyway, it was tacked at the very end of the scene.
I’m also just fascinated with Mawlock in a meta sense at this point. Narsha it’s a perfect fit for the plot and some very important humanization of Runefaust’s side of the conflict, Zuika is a rando but fits the universe just fine (half of shining force is just getting randos on your team after all) but Mawlock? He doesn’t fit, and he’s not trying to. He’s really leaning on the card mechanic which does sound interesting and because it’s just a few scenes it’s actually kind of charming? Yes i am a random extra to add features to this remake don’t worry about it sir let’s go buy more booster packs for our deck and move on

good news: they do point out when you’ve unlocked all dialogue, so i won’t be running in circles with a character saying the default line and not knowing if i finished their conversation or not
bad news: Mawlock is the only one i’ve seen this so far. I’m three battles away from the end. Please don’t tell me i screwed this up it’s a deathless single team playthrough what else could this game possibly want

boy if there’s some way to win that i’ll be impressed
This continues to be fascinating in a meta way, in that Mawlock seems to be an overpowered dude who wants Narsha to be in the story no matter what. Kinda getting really sad imagining that if there was a Narsha in the og shining force universe, she likely died

idk where this plot is going but it does seem to be a fun meta jab at the fact this is a remake lmao, i like it
Tumblr media
i do not like that it seems to have thrown me in a solo battle though, there’s likely a catch but hmmm, mean
