Re: Turns Out Shining Force CD Didn't Actually Need The Sega CD Backup RAM Cart

Yeah as Ghaleon said, this seems to be pretty common knowledge but I guess it's not actually true!

There's some corroboration on this Japanese site under "Evaluation Points" (評価点):

Basically says that the backup RAM is not required to play the extra scenarios, but since there's not enough built-in RAM for the system, you have to use the default stats unless you carry them over with the RAM cart.
