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.

Deeper down in the well than where the water
Gives me back in a shining surface picture
Me myself in the summer heaven, godlike....”

“Only the family, society’s smallest unit, can change and yet maintain enough continuity to rear children who will not be “strangers in a strange land,” who will be rooted firmly enough to grow and adapt.”
