Hit the like button if you enjoyed this video. It's much appreciated~ Subscribe! ► http://goo.gl/vCLEjN. In the World of Rune, the Kingdom of Guardiana is about to be invaded by the Runefaust forces. A young man named Max is training under his master, Varios. (Character notes: Max is the main silent protagonist of the game, meaning he is a required member in every battle. That isn't a disadvantage though, as Max boasts good attack and defense growth. It should be noted that Max must be kept alive through the course of every battle or else it's game over. In tough situations, do not hesitate to cast Egress to escape from battles - he has this spell for a reason.) Max is chosen to form a group to do battle with the invading Runefaust forces. He manages to recruit a few enthusiastic soldiers including his good friend Lowe. (Character Notes: Ken, the first knight to join your Shining Force, will see his use early in the game (when you have no choice but to send all of your units into battle). He does have a fair attack and defense growth; however, as better knights are recruited, Ken will become overshadowed by their stronger stat growth overall.) (Character Notes: Luke will prove to be an instrumental fighter from the point you attain him early on through a good segment of the game. His defense growth is phenomenal, as is his attack and HP growth. These advantages make him perfect for running the front line of a battle to soak up enemy attacks.) (Character Notes: Although she is the first mage acquired in the game, Tao is useful throughout the game. Her Blaze spell, when fully maxed out, becomes extremely powerful. Along with that, she learns Boost (at a very late level though), which increases a unit's attack power. As is the case with most spellcasters, Tao suffers from low HP and defense growth; keep her protected in battle or else she'll fall to enemy attacks quickly.) (Character Notes: Lowe appears very early in the game. At first, his healing spells go a long way in keeping your party members alive through the early missions. However, once you begin to pick up better healers, Lowe's usefulness goes down the drain. He doesn't learn Aura, a spell that is essentially Heal but with an area of effect (Aura 4 heals every single party member on the battlefield). (Character Notes: As a ranged unit, Hans does have his advantages in battle. Early in the game, you'll be relying on his arrows to deal damage from far away. Eventually though, Hans will become significantly overpowered by the various other ranged units who join your party.) After getting some spending money from the King and finishing up some shopping, it's time to head out for the first battle.
