Sega Mega Drive · 1993
Shining Force II reached the Mega Drive in Japan in October 1993 and the West the year after, built by Sonic! Software Planning — the studio that would become Camelot — and published by Sega. It took everything the first game did and gave it room: a larger world you cross on foot instead of through a menu, thirty-odd recruits, and battles that sprawl far enough that losing the left flank is a thing that can happen to you.
It is also the game this house is named after. Creed's Mansion is a real place in it, and the wizard who lives there is exactly the sort of person who would let you poke around in his things.
The dwarf smith rolls four times, not once, down a ladder picked by the recipient's class. Here is the routine, both ROM tables, the exact odds counted over every possible seed, and a method that gets you the rarest weapon every time.

The promotion tables, the battle damage formula, and whatever that debug hook wired into the battle rolls was really for.
Nothing here yet. Taking the game apart comes first.
