About Shining Resonance Refrain
✦ AI summary
Shining Resonance Refrain is a JRPG where you play as Yuma, a captive who harbors the soul of an ancient dragon and must join forces with allies to stop an empire from conquering the land. This remaster adds new playable characters, expanded content, and a special Refrain Mode that unlocks additional story perspectives for returning players.
Play as Yuma Ilvern and stop the Empire from exploiting the power of the ancient dragons, including the soul of the Shining Dragon within you. With the help of your friends, realize your destiny, save Astoria, and unleash the strength you’ve always had locked away.
In the original game, previously released only in Japan, Imperial Princess Excella was an unplayable character, but in the new “Refrain Mode” in Shining Resonance Refrain, both she and Dragonslayer Jinas can be added as party members for a new experience – just be sure to save this for your second playthrough to avoid any spoilers! As an added bonus, all of the extra cosmetic items and side quests are included in this remaster.
Dragons were long thought to be extinct, and because Yuma holds the ability to transform into the Shining Dragon, he was taken as a captive of the Empire. With the help of the Dragoneers, Sonia, princess of Astoria, pleads with Yuma to aid them in their fight to save their land from the Empire’s dominion. Typically timid, will Yuma find the courage to realize the strength he has within him?

✦ AI summary
Players consistently criticize the game for excessive mandatory grinding that gates story progression, with a combat system that relies more on stats than skill and devolves into repetitive button-mashing of single combos. The difficulty curve is poorly balanced and not adequately communicated to players, forcing them to grind for hours even on easy difficulty, while the story and characters are seen as clichéd and fail to compensate for the uninspired gameplay. Most reviewers recommend avoiding the game unless you're a desperate JRPG completionist willing to wait for a major sale.
Originally released in 2014, Shining Resonance is a unique JRPG with greatly enjoyable lore, an innovative combat system, and interesting mechanics. Refrain adds bonus content and additional playable characters. Had a great time through multiple playthroughs. Worth a look, especially for JRPG fans.57 found this helpful
This game expects you to do so much narrationless grinding in order to raise your level and acquire power ups that it is insane. The game doesn't teach you this, but the difficulty curve makes it evident once you see the infinitely respawning enemies and how they jump many levels above you after pretty much every story beat. The combat is a game of stats more than anything, and the devs expect you to slog through the same fights over and over for hours on end just to "unlock" the next story beat. It's just like a mobile game in that regard, and that formula isn't fun at all.12 found this helpful

- Boring story, boring dialogues. - Visual Novel game when characters talk. - Too much grinding requirement to play. - No fast travel. - Repeatitive side quests. No wonder the game usually has big sale.
the game is very fun for me and i love it, i appreciate the story tho i wish it had new game plus.
Dragon song awakes steel and music intertwine hope rings in the note
