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.

Yeah FE stayed in Japan until Blazing Blade for GBA. Possibly due to Smash Bros. TBH  Shining Force III is possibly better than any FE of that era. My friend is a FE superfan and feels that way and not even until the Wii game did the series catch up on some things Shining Force III did better according to him. I've only played the original FE. A couple 3DS games. Shining Force 1-3 tho are amazing.  Esp 3.
