Liberate the dragon that resides within you!
Play as Yuma Ilvern and stop the Empire from exploiting the power of the ancient dragons, including the soul of the Shining Dragon within you. With the help of your friends, realize your destiny, save Astoria, and unleash the strength you've always had locked away.
In the original game, previously released only in Japan, Imperial Princess Excella was an unplayable character, but in the new "Refrain Mode" in Shining Resonance Refrain, both she and Dragonslayer Jinas can be added as party members for a new experience – just be sure to save this for your second playthrough to avoid any spoilers!
Dragons were long thought to be extinct, and because Yuma holds the ability to transform into the Shining Dragon, he was taken as a captive of the Empire. With the help of the Dragoneers, Sonia, princess of Astoria, pleads with Yuma to aid them in their fight to save their land from the Empire's dominion. Typically timid, will Yuma find the courage to realize the strength he has within him?
The young man who possesses the soul of the legendary Shining Dragon within him.
With the immense power of the dragon sealed away, he lived a quiet life. However, the Empire found out about Yuma's power and captured him. He is rescued by Dragoneers, warriors who wield the power of the dragon, and under the protection of the Kingdom of Astoria, Yuma decides to lend his strength to defeat the Empire.
After being isolated from the outside world for so long, he is somewhat timid, and prefers to let others make decisions for him. However, through his life with his new friends, he may learn to grow as a person.
He wields a manifestation of the Shining Dragon's power, the Dragon Resonator Vandelhorn, and excels at dealing high damage. The sword acts as a conductor of the Dragon's power, allowing him to transform.
