I might be totally pulling this out my butt - if not, Wild was either an NPC or Arche - but Tales Of Phantasia?

No, that's not it. It wasn't an import.

Is it Paladins Quest?
Here is a Let's Play of the boss fight (warning: many pictures!)

That's the one! Thank you!
A SNES RPG that featured a Hopeless Boss Fight at the start, and a female party member named Wild later on. Sorry there's so little to work with. I think the protagonist might have been blond.
EDIT: The Hopeless Boss Fight took place in a tower, and it was against a huge monster, not a person. It was in the first town, or your school, or something (I think it was a school, but that might just have been how I was interpreting the relative lack of buildings).
The battle perspective was from behind your characters, looking forward, not from the side.
