Story
Book 1
The game's story takes place about 20 years after the Sega Genesis game Shining Force: The Legacy of Great Intention. The is a 16-bit Video game console released by Sega in Japan in 1988 North America in 1989 and the PAL region in 1990 If you are looking for information on the Shining series in general please see Shining series Shining Force The Legacy of Great Intention In this Book, the player controls Nick, a visitor to Guardiana (which is incorrectly called Gardiana constantly through the game), who is chosen to be the new leader of the Guardiana Shining Force. The party must travel to the Kingdom of Cypress to find a way to rescue Queen Anri, who was poisoned when Woldol of Cypress first came to meet her. The initial Force members are the children, cousins, brothers and sisters of several of the first-chapter members from the first game, Shining Force: The Legacy of Great Intention. If you are looking for information on the Shining series in general please see Shining series Shining Force The Legacy of Great Intention
Although Guardiana/Gardiana initially sent out a force beforehand, no word of them had been received. So Lowe, advisor to Queen Anri (and best friend of Max from the first Shining Force), decided it was best to send out another force, which is the force you control. The force then travels to Cypress, meetings friends and enemies along the way, and also discovering secret things about Nick, the visitor to Guardiana/Gardiana which you control.
During the development of the game, you learn Nick's true identity: He is the Prince of Cypress. His father, the King of Cypress, was killed by Woldol and his brother Edmond, who then assumes the throne of Cypress. After Guardiana/Gardiana first discovers this, they are suspicious of Nick, but after meeting the Warrior Gyan at the Port Town of Cypress, who explains the cituation of Cypress to the Guardiana/Gardiana forces, they trust Nick again. The force continues onto Cypress castle, killing Edmond along the way, rescuing Luke (who is incorrectly called Lug in this game - Luke was one of the original members of the Shining Force of the first game), and defeating Woldol. Before they actually battle Woldol, he, using the power of Iom (the god whom he worships), turns himself into a giant scorpion. In this form, Woldol can only be attacked by Nick who wields the Sword of Haiyja, after of course, the sword is given to him by Luke/Lug. Unfortunately, when Nick first attacks Woldol, Woldol attacks back and ends up posioning his (Nick's) right arm. After defeating Woldol, Nick's arm turns to stone.
Thus peace is restored to Cypress and Guardiana/Gardiana, and Queen Anri is released from her poison. This sets up the continued story of Book 2.
Book 2
In the second adventure, after rescuing the Queen, Prince Nick and the Cypress Army join forces with Guardiana to avoid Iom's evil plan. The player now assumes the role of swordsman Deanna and must redeem the Sword of Haiyja alongside the great group of heroes.
After finishing both books, a third book can be accessed. Due to the memory limitations of the Sega CD console, saving progress made in book 3 must be saved on a back-up RAM cart since the Sega CD's internal memory isn't enough to save both games data.
