Player's Review

Shining Force III Premium disc is a turn-based tactical role-playing game released for the Sega Saturn on December 3, 1998. In Japan, Shining Force III was an episodic video game with three discs - Scenario 1, Scenario 2, and Scenario 3 - released individually across late 1997 and 1998, followed by the Premium Disc. Each scenario utilizes the same core gameplay mechanics, but follows a different character's perspective of the overarching narrative in a shared game world. In North America and Europe, only the first entry, Scenario 1, was translated into English, and was simply titled Shining Force III for its release in mid-1998.

The Premium Disc uses save data from the end of Scenario 3 and allows players to enter a bonus boss rush dungeon featuring boss enemies from Shining Force III, as well as from other titles from the series. The party is led by Synbios and may include any combination of characters from all three armies featured in Scenario 3, which includes Jane, if she joined the party. Additionally, the Premium Disc features a developer interview, TV commercials, trailers and opening videos for previous scenarios. There is also a concept art gallery and other features.

In this longplay, I complete the game on hardest difficulty and show contents of the video gallery, art gallery, sound gallery, 3D model gallery and the built-in save editor.
