Another good title for the next topic:

"The gilded pages of your betrayal!"

At least that's the way it's in the transcript, but it almost seems like "guilded" sounds slightly better, since guild means "an association of people of the same trade", as opposed to gild meaning "to cover with a thin layer of gold", although, the only problem with "guilded" is that it's not technically a word.

Yeah, congrats Silvergun. Need to try doing the Premium disc some time myself, but it always seemed so daunting, like I'd need to spend days grinding for it.

Thanks!

As for grinding, it's not too bad, just focus on 12 characters you are definitely going to use for the Premium Disc. The nice thing is that finishing Scenario 3 is not required to use the save file. Oh, and one of the characters has to be Synbios, since he is the default main character of the Premium Disc.

Level wise this should be fine:
10/20/30

However the optimal level in my opinion would be:
17/30/30

Just a thought iiicon, but maybe you can do both sets of rankings, the normal one and also the eliminated list as well.

Okay. Although, that was the one I was hoping that wasn't going to be eliminated, oh well.

Looking at your list, I don't think any of mine noms have been eliminated.

That episode was definitely a fun one to watch. Rarity can be quite hilarious in the show.

Well, that sucks, Windows Vista 64 bit is basically saying no can't install this, so it's a lost cause.

Civilization 2, that is a game I have not played in a long time.

Maybe I should try in Vista to see if it works, I still have a copy of the game, why not?

Congrats on finishing!!

Thanks, I appreciate it!

It took a while, since I took screen shots of my progress as well, the final image was #194, I honestly didn't think I would end up with that many.

--
Warning, the self-destruct system has been activated, all personnel should evacuate immediately, 5 minutes to detonation.

Yeah, I finished my Premium Disc run!

TheArkOfTurus and eaedwards6400, nice job with the progress on your respective runs on Shining Force CD.

I was thinking along the lines of either:

"You are not scientifically possible!"

or

"Monitor Everything!"

Jeff Zero, I hope you get around to playing it some time. Shining Force III is quite the experience.

One last thing, I did a quick HP number breakdown for each battle.

Battle 1 = 0,524 HP (9 Enemies)
Battle 2 = 1,580 HP (9 Enemies)
Battle 3 = 2,240 HP (6 Enemies)
Battle 4 = 1,700 HP (4 Enemies)
Battle 5 = 4,600 HP (4 Enemies)
Battle 6 = 4,400 HP (3 Enemies)
Battle 7 = 5,700 HP (3 Enemies)
Battle 8 = 5,000 HP (1 Enemy)
Battle 9 = 7,000 HP (1 Enemy)

Total = 32,744 HP (40 Enemies)

Promotional Video

A promotional video played at the very end starting here, and displaying the date even, very convenient:


A run through of dates of the various Shining Force games, leading up to 1997, the year Scenario 1 made it's debut in Japan, the US saw this game in 1998, which unfortunately was too late, cutting off Scenarios 2, 3 and the Premium Disc from appearing here:


A dialog about Shining Force series started here, don't ask me what he said though:


An image from Shining Force I:


A CG render of the Walcuray weapon that appears in a few battles of Scenario 3:


An early test of the graphics engine used for the game in wireframe mode:

Oh, and the SEGA logo at the end:


And this concludes my playthrough of the Shining Force III Premium Disc!

Also thanks to everyone that followed along with this run of the game!

The end is definitely here for Dark Sol, the last enemy standing in the way to the completion of the Premium Disc.

Dark Sol didn't go down until two last attacks on the team, both of them Spark LV 4:



Gracia gets the final attack on Dark Sol with it being Blessing LV 1:


And down goes Dark Sol's HP to zero:


And it ends up to be 52 damage:


Then Dark Sol explodes in glorious Shining Force fashion:

Battle 9 - Dark Sol continued

The final battle really begins here. Dark Sol puts up a good fight, but it stays manageable throughout.

Masqurin gets the first attack in, by casting Blaze LV 4:



Dark Sol casting Spark LV 4, this spell got many uses from him throughout the battle:


The spell Confusion LV 3, rarely used by Dark Sol, but as his second attack? Not something I expected:


This battle made use of the usual setup, once again Julian, Synbios and Medion in the front, all of the magic users in the middle, Hedoba, Gracia, Masqurin, Syntesis and Arthur, the archers Barnard and Kate on the sides, and the healers Grace and Isabella in the back. I went with low MP cost spells such as Blaze LV 4, Freeze LV 3 and LV 4, and Blessing LV 2 for attacks, and Aura LV 4 to heal:


Dark Sol casting Chaos Gate:


Synbios with some nice punishment with his sword:


Dark Sol's special attack:


Just a front shot of Dark Sol's character model:


Dark Sol taking more damage, from one of Julian's special attacks:


Dark Sol's HP dips below the ??? total to 561, down from his massive 7,000 HP:

Battle 9 - Dark Sol continued

Before I even start the battle, the task at hand is to take care of all of the Poison statuses that have been inflicted on the team. Moving from one battle to the next does not automatically cure the Poison effect. The total number of characters with the Poison status totals to 8.

I have both Isabella and Grace using Antidote LV 2 to neutralize the Poison effect all of the effected characters:



After taking care that, I had Grace use Aura LV 4 to recover lost HP from the lingering effects of the Poison status:


With that taken care of, I can move on with the actual battle itself.
