Two of those are games I want to finish, so I’ll try to come back once I do! (And see what Shining Series is about.)

Video game fics have it rough in Yuletide, both due to the smaller audience and the time commitment/difficulty of consuming the canon—this definitely isn’t a good metric for worst fic.

Yeah, obscure ones in particular. You can find a no-commentary playthrough video of any Squeenix game, but if you get out into the woods with obscure Sega RPGs...

Though there is a Shining Force longplay on Youtube, I see! Wasn't expecting that.

Sega have been rereleasing older games for current consoles as well, not speedily or anything, but Shining Resonance Refrain got a current-gen upgrade, the earlier Valkyria games got redone, and there's a few others that I can't remember but I know I bought them because they were Sega rereleases.

I wish I'd seen the Shining series request early enough to write for it.

Yeah, if you through the collection by hits, it looks like the least hits contain a lot of video games. Also a lot of presumably more esoteric Japanese and Korean canons.
