| JP SFC | Bahamut Lagoon | Square | Square's oft-forgotten SRPG child, divine spritework |
| JP SFC | Bushi Seiryuuden: Futari no Yuusha | Game Freak | Zelda-like exploration; combat is 2D platformer-like, but still turn-based (enemies only act when you do); pretty spritework |
| JP SFC | Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu | Intelligent Systems | Introduced the marriage/children mechanic that would be seen in later FE entries |
| JP SFC | Kouryuu Densetsu Villgust: Kieta Shoujo | Winkysoft | Based on an anime of the same name, ridiculous stat levels before Disgaea made it cool |
