We finally have the first look at Shining Resonance, the newly revealed Playstation 3 RPG set within the Shining series.
The new game is in development by Media Vision, the team most famous for the Wild Arms series, and the new information comes via Famitsu’s online preview.
In the preview, we’ve gotten a hold of some direct feed screenshots and some new details.
First up, it’s the outline of the game’s story:
In an ancient world, a region of Gods known as Alfheim exists. It’s been a long time since the dragons which soared the skies have died out. Their souls formed crystals and were scattered throughout the world.
Unbeknownst to the people of Alfheim, a dragon managed to survive. It addresses to the name Kouryuu Iruban, and not soon after it surfaces, the Imperial Army, Church, and Dragon Slayer all begin to pursue the dragon.
A young girl managed to save the dragon, and she was followed by a group of warriors known as the Dragon Instrumentalists, who devote themselves to protect the dragon. In a twist of fate, the dragon remembered a girl saving him as a child – could she be the same girl?
Shining Resonance is a moving and yet painful story involving the girl and the dragon.
Battles within Shining Resonance take place in real time where players control an individual character.
The dragon is in the party, while the other party members can fight by manipulating song magic.
As previously mentioned, the protagonist of the story is the dragon, Kouryuu Iruban, the last remaining dragon whose very existence has shaken the world.
Due to his immeasurable power, a lot of people seek to capture or kill him.
One of the supporting characters was revealed in the form of Sonia Blanche, the lightning princess from the kingdom of Astoria. She is questing amongst the people to help revive her country. Dependable and always in high spirits, she is natural ally.
Shining Resonance is currently at 5% percent completion, and is in development for the Playstation 3.
