Shining Tears PS2 Q&A

Shining Tears, the long-anticipated side story to the legendary Shining Force
saga, tells the tale of a young man who has lost his memory and has gotten
caught up in a war he does not quite understand. The city he lives in is under
siege, and the reason, he is told, revolves around two magical rings of power.
In a journey of discovery, the boy and his friends will soon realize the terrifying
truth about the world they live in. Along the way, they will fortify themselves with
ever more powerful weaponry, spells, and a rotating cast of allies.
Shining Tears shifts away from the strategy-RPG gameplay familiar to fans of
Shining Force, focusing instead on real-time action. Up to two players can play
cooperatively as they explore lush, 2D, anime-style environments, slaying
monsters and working through a robust RPG leveling system.
