    FEDA: The Emblem of Justice (フェーダ エンブレム オブ ジャスティス) is an alignment-based strategy role-playing game developed by a team of Climax developers directed by Yoshitaka Tamaki at Max Entertainment and published by Yanoman Corporation for the Super Famicom on October 28, 1994.

    Tamaki has expressed that FEDA was an outlet for ideas that were abandoned when he and Climax departed the Shining series.[1]

    In October 2024, FEDA's publisher, Yanoman, discovered inside a warehouse scheduled for demolition several boxes full of binders containing design documents for both FEDA and its sequel. Yanoman subsequently posted to their Twitter page a series of images showcasing excerpts of these materials.[2]
