    Shining Wind (シャイニング・ウィンド, Shainingu Windo) is an action role-playing game developed by Nex Entertainment and published by Sega for the Sony PlayStation 2 in May 2007 in Japan.

    Shining Wind was the first home console game in the series not to receive an English localization since the last two scenarios of Shining Force III. Future games in the series would not receive English releases until Blade Arcus from Shining Battle Arena in 2016 and Shining Resonance Refrain in 2018.

    Story Impact

    Shining Wind defines the fantasy realm of Endias first introduced in Shining Tears as a world separate from Erd, an equivalent of modern Earth.
