Shining Wind is an action role-playing game developed by Nextech and Amusement Vision and published by Sega for the PlayStation 2, and the 18th game in the Shining video game series. It was released on May 17, 2007 in Japan. The game is the sequel to Shining Tears. The main characters from Shining Tears appear in Shining Wind as well. An anime adaptation of the two games, called Shining Tears X Wind, began airing in early April 2007. Like Shining Tears, the game is illustrated by artist Tony Taka.

The game take players to the world of Endias, where man's feelings turn into so-called Soul Crystals. In this world, an area known as Liberia is home to three states. One ruled by humans, another one by elves, and a third by beastmen. But at some point the energy of chaos begins to flow and at the same time otherwordly warriors appear. The game's protagonist Kiliya Kait is a young man yielding from this other world. He gets caught up in the struggle of two states over the Mind Sword.

Kiliya posseses a special ability known as Soul Blader. This ability allows him to turn his battle spirit into a special Soul Crystal shaped like a sword, a Soul Blade. This Soul Blade's strength is determined by the level of trust that exists between the protagonist and his partner. This trust can be built up through conversations with partners in the adventure mode.

Conversations, however, are not the only way to increase a partner's trust in you. Players are able to enter a partner's imaginary world and find mini games and adventure games inside. Since enemies will also have partners, it will be possible for you to talk your enemy's partners into joining your party, while enemies will try to convince your partners to change sides.
