Shining Series Continuity
In Shining Force Gaiden: Final Conflict, it is revealed that the villain of Shining in the Darkness, Mephisto (called Dark Sol in the English versions), is the son of Darksol and his chief follower, the sorceress Mishaela (the villains of Shining Force I). After the final defeat of Darksol, the child was whisked away by Oddeye, the foremost Greater Devil of Darksol's archenemy, Zeon.
Mephisto's role in Shining in the Darkness places its entry in the timeline sometime following the events of Shining Force II. Since Shining Wisdom takes place but a few years later, it almost certainly takes place after Shining Wisdom as well.

Famous quotes containing the words shining, series and/or continuity:
“the splendor without rays, the shining shadow,
Peace-bringer, the matrix of all shining and quieter of shining.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
“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)
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
