In a 1993 Dengeki Megadrive interview with the game's producer and writer Hiroyuki Takahashi, he was asked what was the basic difference between Shining Force I and Shining Force II? He responded:
Hiroyuki also stated that he intentionally changed the way the game's story progressed, noting that in the first Shining Force game, as soon as the player leaves town, they're drawn into a fight. He felt that players saw this immediacy as too linear and forced, and decided not repeat it with the second game.
"The first Shining Force was a game of armies battling armies. In Shining Force II, it doesn’t have that rigid “troops” feel so much—it’s more of a swashbuckling adventure. For example, say your team is traveling by wagon. In the first game you’d basically proceed straight to your “true enemy”, but in this one, you might get waylaid by random monsters along the way. In that sense, Shining Force II doesn’t feel like a game where you’re simply trying to defeat the big bad guy at the end."
