Item Description
A peace conference that is supposed to end a war between the Republic of Aspinia and the Destonia Empire collapses into violence, and each side blames the other. Synbios, a young Aspinian lord, sets out to find the truth, and what he uncovers is a conspiracy far bigger than either nation. Shining Force III is the series' most ambitious entry, a tactical RPG with political intrigue, shifting loyalties and a cast large enough to fill an entire army.
Battles unfold on fully 3D maps you can rotate to study the terrain, with units moving across a grid and terrain, positioning and turn order deciding the outcome. Two systems give the combat extra depth. Characters who fight side by side build friendships that pay off with bonuses in battle, and heavy use of a weapon type unlocks powerful special attacks. Promotions, a deep roster of recruitable fighters and memorable enemy commanders give long-term goals beyond the next skirmish, and Motoi Sakuraba's score gives the war a sweeping, heroic sound.
Developer Camelot Software Planning designed the story in three parts. In Japan, it was released as three separate volumes: Scenario 1 follows Synbios, Scenario 2 follows Destonian prince Medion and Scenario 3 follows the mercenary Julian, and the storylines overlap as the hidden threat behind the war emerges. Only Scenario 1 was released in English, making this the one officially localized chapter of the trilogy and a substantial adventure on its own. Its ending leaves the larger conflict unresolved, which only deepens the intrigue around the chapters that followed in Japan.
Arriving late in the Saturn's North American life, Shining Force III is the high-water mark of the console's strategy RPG library and the last great Shining Force before Camelot moved on to Golden Sun and Mario sports games. For players who love Fire Emblem-style tactics with a warm, character-driven touch, this is the Saturn game to seek out.
