Was shining force the 1st of its kind? It was the first strategy game I played as a lad.

Shining Force was made to counter Nintendo's Fire Emblem so no. Not even the first Shining game lol.  FE is not the first either.  Plenty of 80s strategy stuff. Famicom Wars from Nintendo even predates FE. I don't know the first SRPG tho.

FE was Japan only?  As a kid I don't recall seeing it.
