Shining Force -Descent of Great Intention- is set a few years after the events of the original Shining Force and takes lead Verge, along with his friends Shaun and Meg as a mini-Shining Force against a group of people who think kidnapping princesses and bringing back Dark Dragon are really ace ideas.
On the way this new Shining Force bumps into a few familiar faces from the game, the most notable being Max, Anri and Musashi.
