Shining Series Continuity
The game takes place 20 years after the events of the Sega Mega Drive game Shining Force I, and is in effect a sequel to it. The story continues the history of Guardiana and centers on a new threat to the nation. Anri, Ken, Lug (called "Luke" in Shining Force I and Resurrection of the Dark Dragon), and Lowe, who were playable characters in Shining Force I, are all major characters, and one of them briefly serves as a playable character. Domingo, another Shining Force I playable character, appears as a hidden character. The initial party members include the sons of Lug, Ken, and Hans, the sister of Tao, and the nephew of Gong.
Shining Force Gaiden I is also the beginning of the Cypress saga, which is continued in the Sega Game Gear game Shining Force Gaiden II and the Mega-CD game Shining Force CD. Gaiden 2 is a direct continuation of the story of Shining Force Gaiden I; it takes place just two months after and covers the resolution of the war between the forces of Cypress and the worshipers of Iom.
