Shining force 2 is SO VERY MUCH UNDERRATED, that it deserves the remake that’s coming

[@michelleeverbloom]

Thanks so much! Shining Force II deserves to be played more!

[@TripAces]

What remake

[@matthewroyer1561]

@@TripAces the remake they promised including shining force 1 and 2 but unfortunately it was cancelled

[@TripAces]

@@matthewroyer1561 Far as I'm concerned, they should just make SF1 CD and SF2 into a Netflix series. Introduce the Ancients prequels. And Time travel devices to muck the whole thing up haha

[@TripAces]

They did an Ancients thing with HeMan in 2002 backstory that was satisfactory on a certain level

[@GruppeSechs]

No game soundtrack gives me those tingles up my spine of adventure like this one.

[@michelleeverbloom]

@@MMC377 Thanks! I encourage everyone to start a video game orchestra in their area and play the music they want. I can provide assistance if needed.

[@mintydog06]

This is amazing. The very fact that this was done with an Orchestra is brilliant in itself.

[@daxdre]

This is so dope! One of my favorite games and I used to play french horn in school. Always wanted to play music from this and Chrono Trigger.

[@user-ox8tn3qe7k]

who remember this?? only me..

[@user-ox8tn3qe7k]

who gave you guys lylic ... i don't think that whom wasn't sega's music diretors

[@michelleeverbloom]

Hello! Arrangements are very creative so sometimes our arrangers create the lyrics themselves!

[@user-ox8tn3qe7k]

wondering why u guys perfoming this song? that song was about 25 years ago.

[@michelleeverbloom]

Hi! The arrangements are done in-house by the orchestra members. The arranger will usually do songs from their favorite games, so the arranger is a fan of this game!

[@d3nxfr494]

What's the problem with the song being 25 years old ?

[@Quinceps]

@@d3nxfr494 He/she probably assumed this kind of stuff would be in some coffin buried only for consumers of the forgotten, inaccesible to arrangers.

[@d3nxfr494]

@@Quinceps probably yeah

[@user-ox8tn3qe7k]

@@Quinceps yap thx u got me

[@Phnxkon]

Is this a high school band? Why are there so many notes out of tune, and players playing out of time with each other. Nevermind randomly speeding up and slowing down.

[@michelleeverbloom]

Community orchestra of non-professional musicians

[@alephricardo100]

It's hard to play a music of this caliber. :v
