FEDA: The Emblem of Justice

While Sega's Shining Force series might be described as "cutesy", Feda, on the other hand, slams a game player against the raw edge of survival inside an unorthodox guerilla unit, operating on a war-torn planet called Mildras Garz. Emerging from a 1000-year war, conditions seem to be getting only worse in this world, a situation that disturbs the hero and his growing band of "misfits" as they reluctantly get swept into a national liberation movement of a small country being subjugated by an evil empire!

Feda's game designers departed from a number of Shining Force conventions. Most notably, they assembled a nine "emblem" system. The guerilla unit will carry one of these emblems at all times, based on its repuation as a fighting force, ranging from "Law" designations at the top, to a "Neutral" designation in the middle (Viper), and "Chaos" labels on the bottom.

The Emblem will change, based upon whether a gamer chooses to kill everything on the screen, or spare life when the mission may be achieved by slaying just certain enemies. Generally speaking, more kills will result in a steady movement toward a greater Chaos reputation (Genocide at the bottom); and mercy will propel the unit toward the top Law reputation, and an opportunity to carry the highly esteemed "Feda" emblem!

The emblem carried, based purely on battle decisions, will directly determine who the hero is able to recruit and retain in the party. Once a recruiting opportunity is bypassed, or a fighter leaves the party due to an emblem change, the hero will rarely enjoy a chance to include or regain those combatants in the unit, but this feature adds unlimited variations in fighter combinations, enhancing Feda's replayability!
