I think it was confirmed Tear Ring saga was a remake of Fire Emblem gaiden, both have similar game mechanics, two protagonists with seperate paths, and the same monsters.

Lets not forgets Tear Ring Saga's tributes to older characters with people such as Barts(An axe fighter who is a tribute to Barst), Norton(same face and class as Arden, but he gets a horse which Arden always wanted) and Lionheart(Tribute to Book 1 Hardin, has a turban, mounted archer second in command, and is even called the Wolf of the plains)
