Let's make some meek attempt at FF1.

White:
Pawns: Coneria Guards (These guys look like the epitome ot pawns)
Knights: Knight (Maybe one will be a Ninja)
Bishop: White Wiz, maybe the other is Red.
Rook: BB & Master
Queen: Nuke Mage (I mean Black Mage)
King: Thief (Because he's cool, he's not that powerful, and he's always running away!)

Black:
Pawns: Imps (Come on now)
Knights: Wizard & Sorceror (I hate these guys, and I hate tricky knights)
Bishops: Dragons, I guess. (Frost and Red for Variety!)
Rooks: Kary and Tiamat (Lich and Kraken suck.)
Queen: Warmech (You saw that coming)
King: Astos? (Didn't see that coming!)
