** Although the first game [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny|really looks this way nowadays]] thanks to the fact that it was made in 1990, around the same time as ''[[Fire Emblem]]''. |

* [[Demonic Spiders]]: Chimaeras in the first game. High defense, high HP, high speed (roughly 1 in 12 physical attacks from any party member will hit), and powerful attacks. They are far more common than the blue dragons, armed skeletons, and horsemen that appear alongside them, and far more likely to cause internal bleeding from player blood pressure. |

* [[Ear Worm]]: ''Shining Force I'' and ''II'' are full of short, catchy looping tunes. If you have played either, the battle theme will be with you until the day you die. |

* [[Even Better Sequel]]: The first game was certainly a very good game in it's own right, but there are few who would tell you that the second didn't take every single aspect that made it good and polished it to a shine. (Including balance issues!) |

* [[Fan-Preferred Couple]]: In the second game, [[White Mage|Sarah]] is generally the favored [[Love Interest]], especially when compared to the canon [[Distressed Damsel|Elis]]. Several long-time players were somewhat bitter that the character who's been with you the whole game and loved you from the start [[Strangled By the Red String|loses out to a princess who gets maybe two lines in the whole game]]. |

* [[Goddamned Bats]]: Literal example. They'll surround you, they'll dodge all your attacks, and they'll put your character to sleep for a few turns, or occasionally poison them. Luckily they can't dodge magic attacks. |

* [[Mary Sue]]: Arguably Narsha in ''Resurrection of Dark Dragon''. She is Ramladu's daughter, who takes it upon herself to save Runefaust from her now-[[Brainwashed and Crazy]] father. She also uses a powerful weapon and owns some of the best healing spells in the game. Though in a game with relatively little character development (not surprising given Camelot's [[Golden Sun (Video Game)|other popular series]]), it's hard to concretely pin her as such |
