Besides those games, he would also illustrate for games like FEDA: The Emblem of Justice (both the Super Famicom original and its Sega Saturn remake), FEDA 2: White Surge, Alundra, and Assault Suits Vaiken.

SEGA Almost Ported Shining Force 1 And 2 To Saturn

Yasuhiro Taguchi who was the main programmer wrote, "The reason is the development schedule and the labor involved.
