We hope to see more contests and entries in the future this year. possibly as early as spring????

If you have any suggestions for contest themes please write it down below in the comments section.

Have a great new year!
Its been a bit empty here for awhile, time to liven things up. Thanks to Shinto-Cetra for the suggestion.


This contest will start TODAY though December 31st. this gives everyone plenty of time and holiday breaks to do it within.



The theme of the contest will be Character outfit redesign.
 

Pick any Shining Force Character (or characters) and do a redesign of your favorite outfit.
This can include alternate outfits
alternate colors
Clothing swaps with another character
Make a fancier or less fancy version
Swap designs with another era of Shining force (example shining force 1 style outfits on newer shining force games or vice versa)
gag outfits that are in game (jogurt outfit, chirrup sandals, swimming suits/bikini...ect)
holiday outfits
Swimsuit/beach day
ect... be creative! Just let us know what you did to their outfit.


(please note that this all needs to be kept family friendly... no string bikini or indecency/suggestive themes. Bikinis are fine if they cover everything and no one is falling out of things. If the character you are doing is already indecent/falling out of clothing; well here is you chance to change that. We want everyone to be able to see the contest entries. If your entry needs to be mature filtered or flagged, than it cannot be entered....sorry.)



Rules:
1. enter as many times as you like, but only 1 of your entries will win a place if any entry does. We want ample opportunity for others get a placement in the contest so no one person will win.
unless only 1 person enters that is. That would be lame.

2. Creativity will be part of the judging so if you feel you aren't that good with art; keep that in mind. You may still win.

3. This is for fun, there won't be a prize, other than congratulations for all of us here at legacy of shining force.
Still, we hope many people participate. We will post the winners sometime the first week of january.
(its my birthday on the 2nd so I might get busy. That gives me time to do things on my end ;) )

4. Please include in the description the character and game they are from and what you did to the outfit
(so we can track down a reference to base it off of)

5. NO OC CHARACTERS... maybe another day, just not today.

6. You must be a member of the club to enter. If you aren't already a member, we welcome you to join!
we don't bite, I promise!

7. All entries must go to the CONTEST folder to be considered for entry. After the contest is over we can move them elsewhere if you want.


Have fun! Can't wait to see the creativity that is out there. Also put in the comments any suggestions for other contests in the future we may do.
First off, merry christmas to those who celebrate it. I wish also merry hanukkah, kwanzaa, ramadan, solstace, and any other holiday that I am aware of at this point. Also to a good year and hopefully better year next year.

This year we saw many shining force games come out, weather on new consoles or new countries. Its been quite the shining year indeed.

I would recommend you try out the new Sega Genesis Collection that just released.
(I got the switch version so I finally can stop buying reiterations of this and just dig in to shining force and not redo my ultimate game once again)
They have so many personalized playing options that just about any collectors head would spin. Enjoy in true blurry crtv glory, or the way it was meant to be shown by the artists in x4 pixel mode. Rewind, forward, pick your retro borders, stretched widescreen, even simulated curve crtv mode. Music adjustments, button mapping, even a literal shelf of genesis games to choose form and pick favorites for easy access in a separate section on the shelf of your virtual room. Its awesome. My favorite part is quick save and quick load are either up or down with the right analog stick. No more soft resetting, its the push of an analog stick and your teleported back in time. Its glorious. 50 plus games, 3 being shining force titles ( nothing new to the table, but is nice)
Yeah I bought it yesterday and am enjoying every single grindy hour of goodness I can get out of shining force.

Other than that this year we saw shining resonance come west finally, hopefully this will open dialog for new and old games coming west as well in the future. lots to learn and new people to meet as the shining fanbase gets bigger and bigger these days. I love how big this series has gotten and there is a place for every fan somewhere even if we cannot agree which is our first game we played or which is our favorite, but we can all agree that more shining force in general the better!

My life will hopefully calm down this year and I can get more cosplay and artwork up so I apologize for my absence. My life has been a bit scattered this year. At least I can say though I did meet my new years goal of donating 20 boxes worth of junk from my life and storage. I surpassed it. Others I will work on.....

Let us know how your doing, or what goals you have for the next year. Any new speedruns in your future, or just trying out a new (or old but new to you) shining game? let us know down below in the comments.
Well, not new to japan, but to the rest of the world it is! And it is the definitive edition with all DLC included, voiceovers, dual language options, and for all current consoles! Sorry PC.... you got others on steam right now.

The game is Shining Resonance: refrain.

Check it out and support shining force games going to the west in the future! I know many out there still mourn over how it isn't as force as it used to be in recent years, but who knows, we may see more throwbacks in the future like sonic has been enjoying recently along with many other classic games recently if we do show interest and support.

As always, keep shining on!
Hello all, sorry for no activity as your founder:iconshiningforcekaya:, that is because I have returned form a nearly 19 month long mission in california. While there I had no way to do things via internet, but now I am slowly putting my life back into order.

Thanks for your patience and all the entries you have put in during my absence.

I also want to give a big thanks to :iconexevalon: for his help during my absence, he was a big help!

If you have any questions, comments, things to add/subtract from the group, let it known here. Or any problems you need fixed ----please note me directly----. I will do my best to help. Thanks!

Keep shining on!
