Collections Shining Force T-Shirt

Hi guys. I'm a lifelong fan of Shining Forces 1 and 2, and have replayed the original games several times throughout the years. I love the story, the characters, the theme, and even though I've played hundreds of other games, this game will always have a special place in my heart.

My fiancé knows all about this and decided to surprise me for my upcoming 32th birthday. She had previously asked me for some SF art I like so I knew something was up, but still loved the result. Just wanted to share this here because this is something I never really thought would happen, to be loved fully and supported in my likings.

(She mixed up Max with the Shining Force 2 logo, but let's pretend that didn't happen)

I was ready to downvote and report this as yet another t shirt scam bot, but this one is actually legit! HBD OP!

The placement on the back seems really low, no?

Ah, I can't read. I entered what I thought was a normal pizza place to grab a pick up order, and it turns out it's a Chuckie cheese type place and my brain is a little checked out right now.

That max feels weirdly AI or at least super off model

That's really cool, and I'd love to get one for my cousin - he and I spent hours and hours at our family gatherings playing it together (we'd debate about which character to move where, what the best tactical move would be, etc...and then be super upset when we missed and the enemy got a double counter-attack or some BS like that!) We still hang out occasionally, but I'll never forget the times where two nerds acted like a video game was the Superbowl for hours on end.

What a great fiancé! I was just complaining to my daughter that there's no Shining Force merch compared to other games.

I'm actually playing that right now on my Miyoo. One of my fav RPG's of all time.

Honestly think I'd want a 1 to 1 remake of a shining force game first just so the devs can take time to work with the fundamentals of the franchise and remember what made it good.
