in the beginning

Today we're finally looking back at the Shining series' roots. I covered Shining Soul expecting exactly zero interest, but I was wrong. I don't think people are as interested in Shining as like, GBA rpgs in general, but I found something interesting after playing the first Shining game - Shining in the Darkness - which is that the indirect sequel, Shining the Holy Ark, is the precursor to Golden Sun in almost every way. So we're heading back to the Genesis and Sega Saturn to see what's up.

So join me as I dredge up a ton of unwanted discourse and explore the early years of Camelot and Shining, then give up on making a video and drop 10 minutes of story analysis. What could possibly go wrong? The good news is, this one probably won't do that well so I ain't gotta worry about covering Shining Force 3. Load off my mind, lemme tell ya.
