In between these more dire concerns, Mayfair also helps play matchmaker for two of the Cypress recruits, Natasha and Deanna. Mayfair turns the squad towards a rescue mission into Iom, where they succeed in saving Prince Nick and defeating Iom. After they recover the Sword of Hajya, Hindel anonymously tips them off to the fact that Nick has been captured. She immediately commands a squad of the new recruits to pursue the thief and accompanies them to offer her guidance and services as a priest. In Shining Force Gaiden 2, Nick leads an invasion of Iom and the Sword of Hajya is stolen under Mayfair's watch. Her sight also returns at this point, perhaps as a result of Woldol's death. Mayfair comes to develop a close motherly relationship with many of the recruits.
Whether she joined the expedition because she reasoned that the Guardianans would help overthrow Woldol as part of their mission, because she wanted to keep an eye on them in case they tried to take control of Cypress, simply out of an altruistic desire to help people, or some combination of those three reasons, is open to speculation.Īfter Shining Force Gaiden, which concludes with Woldol's death and the liberation of Cypress, Prince Nick appoints Mayfair to an unnamed position involving maintaining the security of Cypress and training new recruits to the Cypress army. When an expedition from Guardiana invaded Cypress, Mayfair joined them at the first opportunity, not knowing that the leader of the expedition is also her rightful king, Nick. Sometime prior to Shining Force Gaiden, Woldol killed Mayfair's father and blinded her whether this happened before or after she became part of the Cypress resistance is not known. Though the game is not explicit about the matter, the desperation with which the Cypress army hunts her suggests that she is the leader of the resistance on Asreet Island. Of course the original is still the best and continues to see re-releases in classic games collections across various modern systems.Mayfair is the daughter of the Archbishop of Cypress and a prominent member of the Cypress resistance. Indeed, so loved was this title that it spawned a remake in 2004, Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon on Game Boy Advance.
SHINING FORCE CD HAIJA SERIES
Shining Force is the first of the Shining series of games chronologically, but was the second game released in the series, after Shining in the Darkness. Its linear chapter-based gameplay style make it less confusing than the later title Shining Force II but that doesn’t mean the game isn’t challenging! The Legacy of Great Intention remains a firm favourite with fans, having introduced the turn based grid battles to the series – something most of us long to see make a return to the modern games. It is part of a long line of ‘Shining series’ games, many of which have sadly never seen a release in the West.
