One day, a dragon named Yūma Irvan is discovered, and dragon slayers from the imperial army and church set out to find him. A girl saves the dragon from the dragon slayers, and they gather the Dragonars. The Dragonar warriors play musical instruments called Armonics that resonate with the dragon's soul.
Previously announced characters include:
Yūma Irvan (Nobunaga Shimazaki), the protagonist who takes the form of both a human and a dragon
Sonia Blanche (Asami Seto), a heroine of the story who acts as the party's leader
Kirika Towa Alma (Saori Hayami), the other heroine and a girl who inherited an ancient song

The player will command a party of four to battle various enemies, including rival artificial dragons created by the empire. The "dragon and musical instrument-playing role-playing game" will feature seamless transitions from field to battle sequences.
Tony Taka will return to the Shining series as the character designer with Tsuyoshi Sawada as the game's producer.
The game will ship in Japan on December 11, and the regular version will cost 8,222 yen (about US$77). The limited edition that bundles a Kirika figure will ship for 16,800 yen (US$164).

Sega launched its Shining game franchise with Shining in the Darkness in 1991, and Shining Ark, the most recent main game, shipped for the PlayStation Portable in 2013. The 2010 Shining Hearts role-playing game inspired the Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan- television anime.
