s are activated when the player and an enemy unit occupy the same area or in scripted event. Feda was planned as the Shining Force for SNES, but never made it out of Japan. Same happened to its sequel "Feda 2 - White Surge the Platoon" for PSX and the earlier released FEDA: Remake for the Sega Saturn. Feda shares the same cinematic battle scenes as the Shining Force Series does. Depending on which character the player uses to act, the scene shows him in full picture or just a part of the character. Unlike in Shining Force where the player always just sees his character from behind and the enemy in front of him.

Also in Feda the screen switches from your character to the enemy. But the most difference between Feda and Shining Force is, that the player may choose your alignment - he can fight for law

Battle

Battles take place on a square grid where each unit occupies a single square. Battle is turn-based where during a character's turn, they can move a certain amount of squares, they may then perform an action such as attack or use items. When an attack action is used it goes into a fight animation and tells the player how much damage was given/received.
