Shining Series Continuity
See entries on Shining Force Gaiden and Shining Force Gaiden II for details on how Books 1 and 2 fit into the continuity.
Book 3 takes place just a few months after Shining Force Gaiden II and is a direct sequel, including all the playable characters from Shining Force Gaiden I and II (most of whom are still playable characters), as well as Queen Anri, who was also in Shining Force I. In the first Gaiden, Prince Nick killed the king of Cypress, his uncle Edmond; in Book 3 of Shining Force CD, he officially inherits the crown and becomes king.
Book 4 is another sequel to the Game Gear games, albeit a very brief one, in which 13 of the playable characters again make return appearances.

Famous quotes containing the words shining, series and/or continuity:
“O shining Popocatapetl, It was thy magic hour:
The houses, people, traffic seemed
Thin fading dreams by day;
Chimborazo, Cotopaxi
They had stolen my soul away!”
—Walter James Turner (1889–1946)
“Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
“If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
