Absolutely loved Shining Force 2. Hopefully Sega will do a Collection/Remaster of Shining Force 1/2/3.

Shining Force II is one of my favourite Genesis games. I highly recommend trying it if you have the Expansion Pack.

Lot of people praising Shining Force. Would I need to play the first before trying this one?

Shining Force II is one of the best Genesis games, but they need to get stuff on there that isn’t in the Sega Genesis Classics compilation.
