Shining Series is an Eastern RPG franchise from Sega. The games are all set in the same universe, with minor characters and locations being referenced; however, sequels rarely acknowledge earlier events.

Sega always regarded it with disfavor, and the series has an alarming tendency to switch genres, causing fans to never know quite what they're getting themselves in for.

Not to be confused with the film called The Shining, nor with the black metal band Shining.
