Definitely start with the original... Then play this guy. Otherwise the new changes will kinda be underappreciated. I feel like this hack is more for Shining Force 1 and 2 veterans

Thank you, my friend. This hack is pretty special!

I see Rune from PSIV, I wonder if Alys is also alive in this..

Requiem? Really? First time hearing of it. Can't wait to check it out!

Yeah, it's also by Dark Claw, seems to be a culmination of his ideas.

Haha you're right :D thanks

I skimmed it, there's more than just simple rebalancing.

I intend to post Requiem sometime later today also, since it seems to be a sort of evolution/tweak of this. Are you interested?

It has interesting changes, but I haven't personally played; it was a user request.

Hack appears to include a character from a whole other franchise (Rune from Phantasy Star IV), so *some* liberties might have been taken here. Feels like a hack you'd play after experiencing the original so you can appreciate the differences.

It's a pretty Curious & Interesting Romhack that rebalances the original Shining Force II game itself.
