Fin or Bin: Shining Resonance Refrain
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5c24b180969226fb5cc781baf1a41563/922d56af61dbfab2-91/s540x810/3c16c7fcca610be6849a57c6efac24d26528f070.jpg)
My whole life, I've craved a certain… something. I've never quite been able to put words to it, and I lack many of the skills required to make it myself, so my search goes on. A music-based story where music is magic and the songs happen in-universe and have a specific impact on the story. A good example of something that comes close is Gitaroo Man, which I have played to death and love to bits, but it's not quite hitting that intangible sweet spot that eludes description.
I saw the Steam page for Shining Resonance and wondered if it might be The One, with its clear focus on music as a theme and the repeated showings of the characters standing in a circle playing their instruments to do battle. And early on, I was hopeful, as Diva Magica Kirika whips out her longbow which is also a harp (possibly the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life and I want one) and enters musical battle with the villainous Princess Excella, who is also very very cool and uses a flute-spear to control dragons. Like, damn, right?
Sadly the musical connection is only skin-deep. I had been hoping for perhaps attacks being timed with the background music making them more powerful, or a quick rhythm-action sequence to cast spells, but it is instead most similar to the Tales Of series. Overworld monsters collide with you, a battle begins, you mash attacks at them until they die, and move on. Even those circular jam sessions in the trailer are no more than mini cutscenes with no interaction that grant a slew of passive bonuses for a short duration after they are completed.
I didn't find what I was looking for here. But what I did find was a passable-to-decent RPG with some honestly very likeable characters and like-to-hateable villains and great voice acting. Cutscenes mostly play out in visual novel style, actions implied rather than shown, which is somewhat a shame.
Fin or Bin:
There's a delightful nostalgic bite to these cheesy, cheap, naff Gamecube/Wii era RPGs (this one originally on PS3), and I am eating. I'd give it a 6/10 on the cheesecake rating; Sonia's boob-window armour is very distracting for all the wrong reasons, but these kinda games often go the weird harem route with all the girls falling in love with MC (except the one who thinks he's s-stupid…!), and that doesn't seem to be happening here- though that might be because MC-du-jour Yuma is the saddest wet cat of a man you've ever seen and couldn't court a chatbot. But mostly, I want to Finish this to find out what the heck is going on with Excella, a villain so cool they put her on the storepage box art instead of any of the protags!

What if I told you that there were two separate games whose’s main characters were purple-haired boys named Yuma?

Beating four games in a single month might be my personal record. Glad to finally be clearing out a bit of my backlog.
