Shining Force is a tactical roleplaying game originally released for the Sega Genesis in 1992. As with most older games, it's pretty challenging, which is why we're here to help with these hints and secrets.
Shining Force is Classic
Shining Force is an absolute classic in the tactical RPG genre, outshined only by its sequel. And it's a virtual console title, so it's dirt cheap. Everybody should experience it, but we here at Brighthub realize that your skills may have been softened by today's easier games. Not to worry, as I've come to the rescue with some helpful Shining Force secrets and hints.
Shining Force Cheats
This one is the only actually cheat of the bunch, but it's easy to pull off and gives you a nice little boost. Enter SEGA as your name and you'll begin with +1 HP and +1 MP.
Shining Force Unlockables
In battle 11, hidden in the cliff where the snipers are, you'll find an item called the Kitui Huku. Give this to Anri to unlock Anri's bikini.
There's a tricky way to name every character in the game. Start a new game and name your character. Before moving on, highlight end, then hold A, B, and C on controller two and press Start. On controller one, press A, C, and Start. This will cause a new character to appear. Name that character and another one will appear, and so on and so forth, until you've named every character in the game.

Get Jogurt to join your team.
You meet Jogurt in chapter 1, where you can talk to him. There's a way to get him to join your team in chapter 4. When in Pao Town 1, before the caravan moves, go to the priest's hut in the northwest area of town. Once inside, walk along the west wall until you see Jogurt in the top left corner of the screen, where he'll be flapping his arms, trying to fly. Once he's done flapping, he'll join your team.
