About Shining Soul

Shining Soul is a Game Boy Advance title that blends adventure and role playing game elements. Its setting involves a world rebuilt over centuries after a prior destruction by the Dark Dragon, which has now returned to threaten civilization once more.

The player's objective is to assemble a party from various warrior classes, known as the Shining Fleet, who seek a method to defeat the dragon. Progression involves journeying across the world and confronting hostile forces encountered along the way.
