Max?

[MaxofGaurdiana]

Ok I rented this game and was about to stop playing it when Max Mentioned Cain ... I have three questions. This Is the Max From Shining Force Right? How did Max And Cain get from where they are in Shining Force Neo to Shining Force? When was it astablished that Cain and Max were brothers? I'm so confused here. Hopefully somebody can help me out I'm almost never near a computer so please respond quickly.

[Aldur]

It has nothing to do with the original games. The end.

[Guthwulf]

Well, of course they are the same Max, Cane and Adam.
Max defeated DD and after was cryogenized with Cane, in the same temple you find Adam in shining force. The robot was the guardian on this temple; he waited long, for 10000 years, when DD returned and the hero brothers were awaikened too.
It is all explained in "shining force - the resurrection of the dark dragon" for game boy advanced. It isn't so well explained in the original game but you can remember that Max had forgotten his past in the begining of the game. And in the end of the game the force thinks that Max is dead but appears alive again with Adam, perhaps 10000 years later.
The three sages of SFneo say that the chosen one would be prepared to figth DD when required.
Also say that Maria is very similar to the god that appears in SF in the end of part one behind the castle of Alterone.

In many ways SF Neo is the spiritual sequel to - as well as better than - SF1

You make me giggle.

[Guthwulf]

Well, I finished the game (not the tomb of the king) and now I'm more sure than before about what I said, my friend Aldur.

There were two things that didn't suit for me, before finishing the game. One is that no one even mentioned Dark Dragon. Finaly Rebeca does before the last battle. But Vandolf doesn't manage to call it because Max stops him and doesn't appear in the game. We are talking about the same shining universe.
The second was that Cane was dead by Vandolf and this could not be posible because he appears in SF. Well, he didn't die; he appears in the very last secuence. He still has some things to do before dieing in Dragonia.

Talking about dragons; Dryu is the same type of dragon than Bleu, isn't it. Both are descendants of the Sacred Dragon that defeated the Dark Dragon. I think that Bleu is surely descendant of Dryu.

So, for me, Max, Cane and Adam are the same ones. Dark Dragon is the same one. Adam has the answers in SF the resurrections of the DD. Also in SF but less, I think. I don't remenber what he sais in the original game.

Good bye!!

dumbass. Don't fall into Sega's lies.

[Guthwulf]

What lies??

This is only a fiction story/game!!!!

[Rick]

they're just saying that people are using the Max name in the games to actually realate it to the SF universe...

in the original there isnt any mention of the memory loss thing is there?

[Guthwulf]

Yes, there is. It is also in the original game.

And WHO is using the nameS? And the title? It is sega because it's their game.

And it is the same universe! Didn't you see the centaurs??? But is it a coincidence that 4 characters including DD have the same name? I don't think so. This didn't happen since SFII and SFFC.
And, as i said, they suit in the storyline of SF. They could have had other name and it would be another story but they don't.

Well, this is my opinion. Bye!!

[Noma]

Yes, there is. It is also in the original game.

I'm about to cry.

Resurrection of Dark Dragon and Legacy of Great Intention are not the same game. They may have the same overall plot and characters (for the most part), but LoGI is the first, so that's what everyone goes by.

[Shining Bowie]

The priest SO mentions Max's memory loss at the beginning of LOGI. Right there in Gaurdia.

And his washing-up-on-a-beach-edness.

[Eric]

maybe those eyebrows froze off eh?

anyways, you know its not the same theme because Chikita is labeled kyantol when really it looks like a reject from some kids cartoon.

[drewbster]

Neo just felt like a remake to me.

I don't remember ever seeing that. Is this the priest in the Guardiana chapel, or the old man over by the Gate?

[Balbaroy]

I just played through the entire first chapter and I talked with the priest at every junction allowed, and he never once mentioned anything about memory loss or beaches.

[zagato05]

I'm pretty sure that the priest says it if you talk to him before you see the king. So about 15 secs into the game, right after Varios leaves.

[Alones]

The memory loss thing is ROTDD exclusive.

[rotdd]
Priest:
Ah, the good Max!
I had an odd dream last night.
Can you guess what it was?
~ If NO ~
Priest:
Well, I suppose...
Even the great Lord Max can't read people's minds!
I had a dream about the first time I met you.
Lowe and apprentice here, found you lying on the beach.
That was a year ago now...
You'd lost your memory.
I think it was fate that you came here..

Priest:
Hello, Max! I've been having the worst nightmares. Have you had any?
~ If NO ~
Priest:
Well, then, let me tell you about mine. I saw our land in ruins.
Evil creatures roamed our halls! It seemed so real!

Thank SFC game scripts.

[Balbaroy]

Almost a year after the fact, lol. Way to revive the dead.

Still RotDD and LOGI are two different games, and LOGI is the original so that is the one we go by. This was already said.

[Alones]

*Read 27 jan, but it was 27 feb.. *

Btw, Why do not count Force RotDD as canon? I think it only adds info to the original plot...

Thank you for clearing that up. I've played LoGI countless times, but never once saw anything other than "evil creatures roamed our halls."

I think you raise a good question too. I'm not familiar with RotDD, but I thought SF fans accepted that Max and Cain were brothers.
