Sword World SFC
Super Nintendo Entertainment System · 1993
About this game
Sword World SFC is a game based on the tabletop role-playing game Sword World by Group SNE, released for the Japanese SNES, Super Famicom, hence the SFC on the title.
Comparing to other J-RPG's, the game is more like western RPG's, where you have to create your character, choose his race, classes and stats, rather than having a set hero for the story.

The game is supposed to follow roughly the same rules as the tabletop books.
The story is set in the world of Forceria, which is in the same universe as the anime/manga Record of Lodoss War, and has many similarities to Dungeons & Dragons, having races such as humans, elves, dwarfs, Grass Runners (Halfling like creatures), and half-elves.
Classes available include: fighter, thief, ranger, sage, bard, sorcerer, shaman and priest.
You start the game with 2500 experience points, which you can use to "buy" classes for you character.
Combat is turn based, and experience points come in very slowly.
In 1994 a sequel was released, called Sword World SFC 2 Inishie no Kyojin Densetsu (Legend of the Ancient Giant).
About Super Nintendo Entertainment System
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1990/1991) is widely regarded as home to one of the strongest first-party libraries in gaming history, from Super Metroid to Chrono Trigger. It's a mature collecting market: iconic RPGs and late-cycle releases (which typically had smaller print runs as the industry moved toward the next generation) are consistently among the most sought-after and valuable cartridges from the 16-bit era.
Gamevaro tracks Sword World SFC for Super Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Sword World SFC to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This SNES release dates back to 1993.
