    Shining Force Feather (シャイニング・フォース フェザー) is an entry in the Shining series of games. It was released exclusively for the Nintendo DS in 2009. It features character desings by pako and Noizi Ito.

    According to the official player's guide for the game, a Wii version was planned but ultimately scrapped in favor of the DS version (and also maybe due to Flight-Plan's poor financial situation at the time).

    Story

    3,000 Years ago, a war between the Shining Force warriors and enemy forces known as the Kyomu plunged the world into chaos. That war is remembered primarily in items known as artifacts, which were sealed away after the war. 3,000 years later, a young Treasure Hunter named Jin and his friend Bail discover a hidden ruin where a lost artifact is found and accidentally awaken an android girl named Alfin. A new adventure in search for lost artifacts has just begun.
