If you look through the game's files, you'll find one named ABSTRACT.TXT. This contains a production diary of the game, written by Yasuhiro Taguchi, the director and main programmer. He talks about wanting to remake the first two Shining Force games, and as well as the announcement of the Dreamcast. There's also BIBLIOGR.TXT, which contains a list of all the Shining series titles released at that point.
