Play as Yuma Ilvern and stop the Empire from exploiting the power of the ancient dragon homes, including the soul of the Shining Dragon you possess. With the help of your friends, fulfill your destiny, save Astoria, and unleash the power within you.

In the original game, which was previously released in Japan, Princess Excella Imperial was a non-playable character. In the new Refrain mode in Shining Resonance Refrain, both she and Dragonslayer Jinas can be added as party members for a new experience.

• Dragons were long thought to be extinct, and because Yuma has the ability to transform into a Shining Dragon, he was captured by the Empire.
• With the help of the dragons, Sonia, the princess of Astoria, pleads with Yuma to aid them in their battle and save their country from the Empire's control.
