Sega Japan have updated their Shining Tears site today to include some information which seems to be about the availability of Shining Tears themes for Vodaphone mobiles (cellphones, for you Americans). It seems there will be five different tunes available, including the theme song. What with the page being Babelfished, and with my lack of familiarity with mobile phones, the details about obtaining the tracks didn’t make much sense to me. Besides, they are only available in Japan from what I can tell.
In other news, IGN recently posted a bit more about the game (thanks to SFCer Synbios FG for pointing it out), as well as a better quality version of the TGS Shining Force PS2 video (thanks, Kalkano). I still can’t say I’m too keen on the looks of that game. Ah well, my Shining Tears ought to arrive today unless the postal service is being worse than usual, so I’ll be occupied with that for a while. Will post my thoughts on it ASAP of course 🙂 I’ll also rip the videos from the bonus DVD and post them here.
In other good news, Shining Tears has apparently made it to the number 2 position in the Dengeki game charts (thanks to SFCer Goonboy of Shining Camelot for that tidbit!).
Well, since I have a day to myself today (albeit with a bit of housework to do), I’ll try to get a few more updates done around here – new comic perhaps, work on SEE and perhaps even update the Chronology at last! Then again, maybe I’ll take some time to myself and do a bit of gaming – here’s hoping that postman arrives soon with Shining Tears!
Oh, and for those of you posting in response to this at the SFC forums, I’d like a little bit of feedback – would you be interested in seeing more pictures of the various Shining Collectables posted here at SFC? The collectables already have links to any artwork scans etc, but would you be interested to see for example, a few full page scans for the various books (sort of like samplers, for those looking to buy a book but unsure what the contents are like), photos of items taken from various angles, bigger scans of stickers, full scans of leaflets/fliers (all pages) etc? It would work something like this, but with more than one picture generally.
