See Shining Blade’s Animated Opening

With Tony Taka’s artwork, Shining Blade *looks* like the other games in Sega’s Shining series. However, it doesn’t play like any other game in the series. Sega created a battle system that is said to be similar to Valkyria Chronicles.

The red haired character in the video is Reiji, a Soul Blader sent on a quest to find a diva who can sing the Song of Mana. Shining Blade is slated for release on PSP in spring 2012.
