Shining Resonance Refrain: The Epic Return of the Shining Series!

Get ready to unleash the dragon within you with Shining Resonance Refrain! This enchanting JRPG tells the story of Yuma and his friends as they battle against the oppressive Empire. After a decade-long absence, this release marks the glorious comeback of the Shining series in the West, bringing with it a rich narrative, captivating gameplay, and breathtaking visuals.

A Remaster with a Twist on Classic Gameplay

Shining Resonance Refrain is a remaster of the original Shining Resonance, which was previously available exclusively on PlayStation® 3 in Japan. This new version offers players an exciting choice between English and Japanese voiceovers, allowing you to immerse yourself in the game's world in your preferred language. Additionally, it includes all downloadable content from the original game, playable in "original mode." But that’s not all! The new “Refrain Mode” unlocks Imperial Princess Excella and Jinas Dragon Slayer as playable characters, providing a fresh experience for both newcomers and veterans of the series.

Master the B.A.N.D. System for Unique Combat

Courage and music go hand in hand in the world of Shining Resonance Refrain. The Dragoniers wield Armonics—ancient instruments that serve as weapons to release powerful rune-songs. As players accumulate Battle Performance Mana (BPM), they can activate the B.A.N.D. system, allowing the party to perform together. Depending on the chosen song and the character leading the performance, your party can gain various beneficial effects, adding a layer of strategic depth to encounters. Get ready for a harmonious blend of rhythm and combat!

The Heart of the Story

At the core of Shining Resonance Refrain is Yuma, a young hero burdened with the soul of the legendary sparkling dragon. This unique gift allows him to transform into an ancestral creature, wielding the power contained within his sword. However, this remarkable trait makes him a target for the Empire, which aims to use Yuma against the kingdom of Astoria. As the Empire closes in, Princess Sonia of Astoria embarks on a daring rescue mission with the help of the Dragoniers, seeking Yuma's aid in the fight against tyranny. Despite being shy and reserved, Yuma must summon the courage to harness his powers for a noble cause and navigate the treacherous waters of destiny.

Conclusion

Shining Resonance Refrain beautifully blends storytelling, music, and strategic gameplay, offering an unforgettable experience that will captivate both new players and long-time fans of the series. With its modern remastering, immersive world, and innovative combat system, this title is a worthy addition to any RPG enthusiast's collection.
