Shining Force World Book translation - part 4

Previous part here

Last force member entries, next part is the villains. I’ll also shove here the species and classes pages from further on the guide, just don’t get any expectation for those, they are very short and generic descriptions.

A knight who drifts carefree like a cloud

Pelle Class: Knight Species: Centaur Gender: Male Age: 33 years old Height: 233 cm Weight: 198 kg Place of Origin: Runefaust Starting Level: 8 Starting Weapon: Bronze Lance

Traveling lots of countries in the world while looking for his birthplace!?

A free man who wanders aimlessly while working as a mercenary knight. He doesn't know much about where he was born or who his parents are, but doesn't care in the slightest and continues to live as he pleases.

His pride and self respect as a knight are exemplary, and he never forsakes those in his actions.

Being an elite knight who has served in countless battles, he is also quite fearsome.

Strength is not all you need to win! His sense for battling is excellent!

Fitting for his personality, his growth by leveling up is uncertain, and can be fast or slow. He's a reputable knight, but that doesn't mean his attack is extraordinary or anything. In the end, his worth in battle might depend on how well he uses the spears and lances available.

He's more effective fighting as part of a team than taking the lead at the front.

_____

Alcohol is a source of power!

Vankar Class: Knight Species: Centaur Gender: Male Age: 44 years old Height: 231 cm Weight: 195 kg Place of Origin: Runefaust Starting Level: 8 Starting Weapon: Bronze Lance

The unhealthy lone wolf who does as he pleases

A centaur who drinks lots, and has more pride as a knight than anyone else. In his youth, he was an excellent knight of some country, but lost the job after getting in a fight with the minister. Even though that was due to the alcohol, he did not bother and has not quit drinking, working as bodyguard for taverns and traveling merchants in towns.

He cannot stand the heinous path Runefaust has gone down, and decided to fight alongside the force.

[Note: in game he joins by Koron’s orders, though it’s not hard to believe he also disliked Runefaust at the same time.]

He loves building more than fighting!

Lyle Class: Assault Knight Species: Centaur (subspecies) Gender: Male Age: 34 years old Height: 204 cm Weight: 181 kg Place of Origin: Rindo Starting Level: 8 Starting Weapon: Robin Arrow

A centaur who keep messing up with his laid back personality

Like Vankar, he couldn't stand Runefaust's ways and joined the force. As a centaur with a great sense of justice, he used to serve a kingdom. However, his laid back personality caused a lot of disaster and he was fired. After that, he immersed himself in his beloved inventions, and nowadays uses weapons he created himself. He joins the battle with his prized cannon.

His slow movement is a problem, but his power is outstanding!

Using a unique destructive weapon, his attack is great. But because his movement is low, he can't make the best out of that power. If you manage to support his low movement, defense and agility with the other characters, he can still be a power up for the party. If you want certain victory, he's a must have in the team.

[Note: Most other sources including the other guide book credit Crock for creating the cannon, but it’s not hard to believe they worked together, they’re just bickering over first author credit like any other academic.]

_____

An intellectual and poweful knight!

Guntz Class: Steam Knight Species: Armadillo Gender: Male Age: 21 years old Height: 142 cm Weight: 68 kg (not counting the armor) Place of Origin: Rindo Starting Level: 8 Starting Weapon: Bronze Lance

An armadillo who hates fighting but hides terrific power!

Member of the armadillo race, of which there are few around. He wears a heavy special armor. Unlike what you'd assume by his tough exterior, he's quite sensitive. He's hardworking and has dexterous fingers. Like Lyle, he works as an assistant to the inventor Crock, and has made a bunch of inventions.

He looks like he enjoys battling, has actually has more inclination to be an advisor.

The heavy armor is both his strong and weak point

Because he uses a heavy armor, his agility and movement are low, however his defense is quite high. His attack is also high, and he'll certainly be useful if you let him fight.

The most effective strategy would be to put his attack and defense to good use, slowly approach the enemies and then defeat them at once. But if you push things too far, his small amount of HP becomes a problem so you must be careful.

Species

A game world with countless species

In the world of "Shining Force", 17 species are shown, including humans. To help you understand what they are like, we explain ten of them here, from the common humans to dragonewts and the mysterious Yogurts. At the end of the explanations we list representative characters of each species as well.

Humans

Compared to other species they are short lived, weak, and have no special abilities. However they may acquire special abilities through the way they are raised and trained. Representatives: The protagonist, Ramladu, Anri

Hobbits

They are generally short and robust. A race that prefers using their heads as opposed to fighting. Representative: Lowe

Elves

They look much like humans, and are slender, tall and dexterous. They are skilled with bows and magic, and have long lifespans. Representatives: Hans, Tao

Dragonewts

A humanoid dragon species. Superior to other species in power, skill, intellect and everything else. Representatives: Nova

Centaurs

A species with a human upper body and a horse lower body. They use the same weapons as humans, and are drawn to fighting. Representatives: Mae, Arthur

Birdpeople

A humanoid species with wings on their backs. Many like toying with their enemies with their distinctive swift movements. Representatives: Balbaroy, Amon

Dwarves

They grow long beards, and have sturdy bodies. With very lively personalities, they usually work as warriors. Representatives: Luke

Giants

They usually have large bodies, and are a violent and savage race. They are easily fooled by people, but their strength is superior. Representatives: Gong

Wolfling

A species with wolf faces much like werewolves. They excel in fighting, and are proud of their own species. Representatives: Zylo

Yogurt

A mysterious species that only appears in this game. Weird creature from the evil planet Yogurt. Representatives: Yogurt

[Ah yes, this one makes some rounds on random trivia websites. The other guide book also brings it up in a section I didn't care much for translating, since it was just explaining secret items, Musashi and the Sound Test.]

What's the Yogurt Ring?

The weird animal, Yogurt. It is said he came from Planet Yogurt to turn all people into Yogurts. The Yogurt Ring is supposedly a tool for that purpose, but no one really knows the truth.

Classes

There are lots of classes!

We explain here in detail 8 classes, from the typical swordsmen and knights to the odd ones like birdpeople!

Swordsmen

They fight with smart moves, using mainly swords. They don't use heavy armor or big shields, having to rely on the sword for both offense and defense. In terms of constitution, many tend to be stout yet slim. In this game, the protagonist is a swordsman.

Knights

Usually elite knights at service of a sovereign. The king's orders are absolute, and they act on them even when having misgivings. They are loyal to the point of sacrificing their own lives to protect the king, They usually use lances, and fight mounted in horses. In the game, centaurs are the knights.

Warriors

A class for people who can use any sort of weapon. Not worrying with the loss of mobility and agility, they use armor to raise their defense. Their constitution is great and their have vitality, being capable of resisting wounds to some extent.

Archers

Skilled at shooting down prey from afar with a bow. Due to using long distance attacks, they usually have great sight and high concentration. But, they cannot use heavy weapons or armors, and many have low endurance as well.

Mages

A class lacking fighting skills in exchanging for acquiring magical abilities. They have no strength or endurance and cannot use heavy equipment, so they are weak in terms of defense. They also can only use staves as weapons. Tao and Anri are examples of mages.

Priests

Primarily a class that serves the gods. Instead of offensive magic, they use mainly defensive spells. Unlike mages their defense is high, and they can fight. Those of this class are intelligent, quiet and level headed. Lowe and Khris are examples of priests.

Monks

Usually ascetic monks training their body and spirit. Monks don't use weapons such as swords and axes, nor equipment like shields and armors. Their fight with nothing but their own body. The only force member of this class is Gong, who joins in Chapter 1.

Birdpeople

A class of winged people who used to fly freely through the skies. They patrolled their borders and castles using their wings. With superior movement, they are very useful for surveillance. Balbaroy and Amon are birdpeople.

If it's not too much to ask, why do you hate Eileen??

i made a thoughtful post i can't find right now but the sparknotes version is to me it's gross, underbaked, so self-hating it becomes misogynist, droll and trite and just like. so aware of it's own crassness and dirt that it just. was so unenjoyable to read. happy ottessa finds fulfillment in reclaiming bowel movements and unpleasantness for #women but it was such a tiring exercise. i think the story could be excavated by a film but #horridwomen have been given better voices and stories by other authors <3

#one of my least favorite books i've ever read #it felt tailor made for girls who run twitter accounts with pearl icons #i never want to be within 50 feet of ottessa #she could be the worlds kindest coolest person but i dont wanna find out! shes my nemesis

More than that, you’ve got to actually spend your time doing this stuff on the off chance that the algorithm picks it up and people care about what you have to say. You’ve got to spend your time doing this even though it’s corny and cringe and your friends from high school or college will probably laugh as you “try to become an influencer.” You’ve got to do it even when you feel like you have absolutely nothing to say, because the algorithm demands you post anyway. You have to do it even if you’re from a culture where doing any self-promotion is looked upon as inherently negative, or if you’re a woman for whom bragging carries an even greater social stigma than it already does. You’ve got to do it even though the coolest thing you can do is not have to. You’ve got to offer your content to the hellish, overstuffed, harassment-laden, uber-competitive attention economy because otherwise no one will know who you are. In a recent interview with the Guardian, the author Naomi Klein said the biggest change in the world since No Logo, her 1999 book on consumerism and inescapable branding, came out was that “neoliberalism has created so much precarity that the commodification of the self is now seen as the only route to any kind of economic security. Plus social media has given us the tools to market ourselves nonstop.”

Oh hell yes. An article that supports my half-joke that a corporate app's demand for constant self-promo is technically classist.

tom blyth being obsessed with his girlfriend: a compilation

this was inspired by @astranva’s famous blurbs, love you and miss you novs <3

MASTERLIST | MY PATREON

It seemed like the entire world was crushing on the same man: Tom Blyth

Unfortunately for those who watched The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and came out of the theater in love with the man who played Coriolanus Snow, he was happily taken and loved to talk about his girlfriend any chance he got, which lead to fans making several compilations about the times he was a simp over his girl.

The most popular video was a 10 minute and 33 seconds compilation, which had around 445k views.

It started with Tom's interview with Good Morning America to talk about Billy the Kid, the interviewer asking about how he prepared for the role.

"It was during the pandemic, like any actor during that time I was just hoping that the world came back to normal so I could start making a cent," everyone in the set laughed at this, "I was living with my girlfriend YN in a barn house and we were like chopping wood every morning and visiting my friend's ranch. So when I got the part I kinda felt like I was ready for it."

"Your girlfriend, you say," one of the interviewers said making Tom smile right away, "Did she help you prepare for the role too?

"Of course she did, she's my biggest supporter ever."

The video moved to show some behind the scenes of Songbirds and Snakes footage, Tom dressed in his peacekeeper costume and dancing around while Rachel recorded him.

"See this moves?" he got closer to the camera, "I used them to charm my girlfriend."

"And I doubt they worked." Rachel laughed behind the camera.

"She loves me so I'm pretty sure they did."

The next thing shown was Tom sitting next to Hunter as they did an interview for Rolling Stone, the crew just asked about their thoughts on Olivia Rodrigo's single for the movie.

"I love Olivia Rodrigo," Hunter cheerfully said, throwing her arms up to the air, "The new album is so good."

"I'm a big fan as well," Tom joined in, "My girlfriend YN, she's obsessed with her, plays her songs all the time."

"Just so everyone knows, YN is like the coolest person ever," Hunter said, making Tom smile, "She brought us snacks on set so many times, such an angel."

"She's the best."

The following footage was Tom and Rachel's rapid-fire questions with Vogue.

"Can you guess where this is from?" Rachel asked holding up a card that showed a zoomed in picture of a suit.

"That's my Prada suit from the London premiere," Tom asked confidently, Rachel confirming that he was correct, "My girlfriend YN loved that suit, that's why It's one of my favorites."

"Oh I miss YN."

"So do I, so do I."

Next clip was Tom's interview Stephen Colbert, who just asked him if he was a fan of the books growing up.

"I was such a huge fan, I grew up watching the films. My mom and sister used to go to opening weekends to see the movies," the audience cheered at that, "Actually, for my third date with my girlfriend I took her to see the last movie, so getting to play a young president Snow is a real honor."

The video quickly moved to show the lat clip, one of Tom's interviews at the London premiere of the movie.

"Are you here on your own? No date?" The interviewer said once Tom finished answering the previous question.

"I'm here with my girlfriend, actually," his face beamed as he spoke, "She's probably somewhere taking selfies with Hunter, those two are like best friends."

"Is she close to your cast mates?" the interviewer asked again.

"Definitely, they try to steal her from me and I can't blame them, she's the best."
