  1. When I get home I'll boot up a new game and verify if the Recruit option is available during Chapter 2 (5th Month). And Catherine being available as early as Chapter 4, cause it seems off to me. Because the first mission, rout the thieves at Zanado, you can't ask for any mission assistance. And Catherine being available a month before Cyril is odd, too. EDIT: Okay, the Recruit option is available for Chapter 2. And Catherine at Chapter 4 at the earliest is an option to Recruit.
  2. Shamir was Chapter 6 for me. No option in Chapter 5. Also, added the Movie Gallery images, Cutscene CGs/items (including S-ranks) to the Mega folder also.
  3. @VincentASM Here you are, everything I have converted so far. I have the folder numbers preserved with a comment on what they're for. https://mega.nz/#F!OvBkmKhL!GeqaAXOdfv8zLj4Bv6tBrA Be wary of spoilers with the portraits: 3522 - Portraits have some enemy spoilers, crest icons and monastery icons at the end 3537 - Full dialog portraits, heavy spoilers at the end 3539 - Battle menu portraits, has spoilers 3540 - Battle menu portraits, has spoilers 3541 - Large Portraits of Playable Chars (and Jeralt, Rhea, Sothis) Part 1 3542 - Large Portraits of Playable Chars (and Jeralt, Rhea, Sothis) Part 2 The only non-text differences with US/JP versions of images is the Motivation emojis. Japanese uses a different color scheme Green -> Yellow -> Orange -> Pink, and the last one is like an "ahegao" lol. Also, I mentioned in the other recruitment thread, but Catherine listed as being available Chapter 4 seems off to me, because the prompt wasn't first available until Chapter 5. I'm way over-leveled, and I've been taking notes when each one is first available (Blue Lions route). Here is my photo of when I recruited Catherine. It's Chapter 5, when Rodrigue visits. Also, the Students saying they're available starting at Chapter 2 is off to me, too. I know the tutorial prompt is in Chapter 2, but the actual option for Recruit didn't start appearing for me until Chapter 3. I took screenshots of each student I could to document their stat requirements, my first screenshot is this one with Petra, which is dated after I did The Chapter 2 fight. Disregard. I was wrong. 😮
  4. I've been spending my time datamining to get all the audio and art assets out. Would it be okay to share that kind of stuff? Would like to help out the site, if possible. Right now, I have Part 1 and Part 2 Roster images (includes Jeralt, Rhea, and Sothis, for the suspected DLC reasons probably) all converted and sorted like so. Was a lengthy process of getting the decrypted files from the NSP, then extracting the DATA bin files, then converting the G1T files to DDS, then converting the DDS to PNG. Most of it is batch, including the renaming tool, so ti's not terribly long. But I got a system down. For example, here's the quality of Jeralt. Whoa, look what I found. It was in the folder that hold all the Tutorial Images, EDIT: Oh derp, that's from New Game +. Okie, my b. Last update before bed: got all the maps converted. They're semi transparent, but if you put em over a black background they're easy to see. Check out Gronder Field:
  5. Azure Moon, Petra info And I honestly don't remember, Lysithea. I didn't recruit her (I only got Dorothea and Ignatz first playthrough) She didn't appear again, that's for sure. Also, Azure Moon, Chapter 20
  6. I see the recruitment data was updated on the site. https://serenesforest.net/three-houses/characters/recruitment/ Catherine being at Chapter 4 seems off to me, because the prompt wasn't first available until Chapter 5. I'm way over-leveled, and I've been taking notes when each one is first available (Blue Lions). Here is my photo of when I recruited Catherine. It's Chapter 5, when Rodrigue visits. Also, the Students saying they're available starting at Chapter 2 is a bit hmm, to me. I need to double check. I know the tutorial prompt is in Chapter 2, but the actual option for Recruit didn't start appearing for me until Chapter 3. I took screenshots of each student I could to document their stat requirements, my first screenshot is this one with Petra, which is dated after I did The Chapter 2 fight. EDIT: Now I know why the Marianne recruit worked. Because I fed her those Gifts, and B-support was ready, she was actually in the C+ range, which reduced the requirement for Riding from C to D+.
  7. Someone else on GameFAQs mentioned it was at the Goddess Tower. So either after the Ball or the victory at the Battle of the Eagle and Lion? Yeah, I feel like I've heard it too.
  8. Digging around the files and found this: "You have done quite a lot today. Why don't you rest a bit"? https://drive.google.com/open?id=19SKqZvV4SD2wcbcq85LCIlGm5MViomUa Reminds me of Morgana lol. It's in the same file containing as all voice clips related to tutorials, and when each house leader explains what each student is like at the beginning. It's the last clip inside, 214.kns. Path: nx\sound\Resource_EN\TR_EN.ktsl2stbin For example, the one right before it, 213.kns is the last voice clip for the last Giant Monster tutorial. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dO_MfM0PHRj4LM7ipO92d6ZyOZ6PBjQq And here's a bonus Monastery bell toll from the BGM folder. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1olq2lrWbWyxOl1-ZjqSMg0cI23PnW42K
  9. Hit the Home button to suspend the game and pause the timer.
  10. But one thing that is worth figuring out is that quirky thing, where getting an S-rank also unlocks one for another gender. Here's the one about Ashe being unlocked because I got the Mercedes S-rank. Mercedes S Rank on M!Byleth available on NG+ When I went to F!Byleth loading the same save, Ashe was available, along with Mercedes S-rank for female Then after saving it got applied to Global You mentioned getting all those males with Hilda, can you double check that in the Support menu in the Journal? Someone else claims they did F!Byleth x Claude S-rank, and got Leonie available to purchase for M!Byleth on NG+ It seems like some kind of mechanic so the game ensures you don't get punished for sticking with one Gender. And I only see it doing 1 at a time, not making multiple available.
  11. Hmm... If this "New Game Plus takes your Support Conversation list from the main menu" thing true, I guess it happens that the moment you save the NG+ file after the end. And not upon loading the file. Like, the game snapshots your global Supports upon saving. Because I loaded up my original NG+ file (The Cleared-Game Data) while in the middle of my second playthrough, and global supports didn't apply to it. Only what I had at the end of the file. So I'm gonna test it out, loading up my chapter 21 save file and beat the game again, this time pairing with Gilbert. If this thing is true, then when I save on a new New Game Plus file, it'll snapshot all supports I've gotten up to that point. I'll record it so we can actually have proof of it working.
  12. I'm replaying Blue Lions on a fresh save (not NG+). On my original clear I did Mercedes S-rank as M!Byleth. So I'm curious if it is true if you start a New Game + it pulls the Support Conversation from the main menu instead of supports from the cleared save. And you did touch on the oddity where getting an S-rank on one gender will unlock an S-rank on another. For me, when I switched to F!Byleth, it unlocked Ashe's S-rank and was available to purchase. So I bought them and saved to add to the Support Conversation menu.
  13. Just wanted to put some thoughts here. It's kinda funny, because if a patch does happen, any and all of 1.0 Bylad's grunts are already all on Youtube. And it's not like it's going to make the whole thing disappear, there's going to be comparison videos of the two. The files exist on all the current printed copies. It's interesting from a business perspective, cause Nintendo and Cup of Tea can do a delisting of a credit without issue, because they hire non-union voice actors for very cheap. As a comparison, Sean Schemmel (Funimation's Goku) was paid only $600 for Lucario in Smash 4, and they reused the clips. Resulting in his distaste about voice acting as a career. So yeah, overall it's all "meh". Only reason Nintendo is doing this is because people cried about it, and it's not that much of an issue in cost. But on the other hand, it's people being unable to separate art from the artist, and getting in a frenzy over a few one-liners and some grunts/yells.
  14. Something I just realized and it's bugging me. Folks have been saying that since Ferdinand's B-support is in Part 2, you need higher stats. But using my Marianne example in the vid above, I didn't fully unlock the B-support, I just got enough Support points to get to it, then she joined. Could it be that the stat requirements looks more at Support points, instead of actual unlocked rank? Because if so, if you could get the pending B-rank to show and give the message "It'll take some time before you can deepen this bond", I feel like the same logic would apply.
  15. So here's my results of both things. Stats didn't change for the second attempt, but I had enough support points to unlock B-rank. Attempt on 8/24 after raising Riding to D+ via 3x Faculty Training Then next video is a successful recruiting, no change in stats or level, on 9/7. BUT. With her birthday Tea Party on the same day, she reached the B-rank support threshold before Exploration started. I just noticed in the previous one it was the prompt of she was interested in joining. Hmm. And hey, just noticed the trend that every month students/faculty go up 2 levels per month. So on July - Level 7. August - Level 9. September Level 11. And so on. I'm behind the party on catching on to these things haha. Oh and Marianne still doesn't want to join, haha. Gotta raise the Support and/or Magic quickly. EDIT: Got Marianne to join by pumping her full of gifts to make her B-support ready, and as long as you didn't use the Recruit option yet for the day, it'll work (if it says they were showing interest). I recorded a video her of me saving, talking to her seeing she showed an interest, reloading the save, giving her the favorite gifts and when I saw B-support was ready, I tried it then and it worked. Very nice So to reiterate, it confirms to me that the game doesn't lock if the student will join or not upon starting the day. it checks upon choosing Recruit. So you can save scum it. Like if it says they're showing interest, reload and pump em full of gifts to get that support points up.
  16. So like other things, does the game lock in if a student is available to join via Recruit at the start of the day? I tried testing with save scumming, I have Dexterity at 22, and Magic at 18, Petra (Dex/Riding) and Marianne (Magic/Riding) at C-support. Riding was at D when I started the day, did 3x Faculty Trainings (Chapter 5, Jeralt, Gilbert, and Hanneman) to bump it to D+, but it didn't let them join (though Petra did say interested). I'm doing Normal mode trying to recruit everyone, those are the last two I have left, haha.
  17. Increased support stats for purchasing S-rank in NG+ https://imgur.com/a/YnVst9L And I mentioned before you can get more than one S-rank.
  18. With NG+ S-ranks, it's only the one you chose and saved the clear game save with. When you start NG+ you must choose a Cleared Save, and it'll only have the S-rank you chose. So you can't cheese it by making multiple clear saves, because you must pick one and go from there, it doesn't merge them together. So if you wanna see all S-ranks unlocked for purchase with Renown, gotta go through the game and get S-ranks each time. If you only care about unlocking them in the Support Conversation menu on the title screen: Each time you save the game after getting a support or whatever, it'll update it there. For example, I saved and it updated for Female Byleth. I could even save to an empty slot, reload, buy others and keep on saving/reloading to unlock them all. But what my post wanted to point out, that nobody mentioned, is that oddity where getting S-rank with Mercedes as M!Byleth, then starting NG+ as F!Byleth results in S-rank being available for both Mercedes and Ashe. If this can work for others, it could cut the amount of runs a lot.
  19. I posted about this on GameFAQs. But for some reason, when I started up a New Game + save as F!Byleth (which had Mercedes S-rank), Ashe's S-rank was unlocked too. M!Byleth S-rank available for Mercedes in NG+ (and purchased): F!Byleth S-ranks purchased for Ashe and Mercedes, using the same NG+ save: I have a rough draft theory, but I'm assuming that when you get an S-rank for a character, the game also unlocks it for someone on the opposite gender, in case you want to switch and you're not disadvantaged. But there's no logic to exclude those with S-ranks on both genders. So the game did "Oh, you have S-rank for Mercedes? I'm gonna unlock S-rank for Ashe for when you go F!Byleth!"
  20. Word. Seems like there's no complete mapping of everything in the save file. Do you know where the Convoy data is stored? And I guess Logbook data is in the Global file? Found out where the bytes for Renown are. With your save, starting at 0x0000000A, take note of the four bytes starting from that offset. If you scroll down (or search for that exact string) you'll find it again shortly down the file, then the four bytes after that is your Gold, and the four bytes after that is Renown. They're both in Little Endian order Gold: 91A60E00 (Little Endian) -> 000EA691 (Big Endian) -> 960145 (Decimal) Renown: 7E040000 -> 0000047E -> 1150 So I changed the Renown to 98000 98000 (Decimal) -> 00017ED0 (Big Endian) -> D07E0100 (Little Endian) And yay, it worked.
  21. Oh man, so I wanted to replay Awakening from the beginning on a fresh save file, because of the years of backing up and editing across all these different tools made me feel dirty. Backed up my original save, wiped the cart, starting over. Three years ago I was here for the sole purpose of making my avatars hair color red, so I go to look how to do it now and tried to find all my old data. I don't remember if I posted this, but I remember doing each paralogue by removing the marriage between the mom and the husband, and this was what was in my text file named "color.txt" lol So the whole FCRAM dumping and loading codes is obsolete now right? I edited the hair colors with save file dumping. Has anybody ever been able to successfully use TCPGecko to poke things? Been doing browsing to find resources and data dumps of recent happenings. Like the web-based save file editor is neat, and seeing where things are in the save files.
  22. Awesome, thank you. So I'm guessing that the info from the site was from the data mining when the game was released in Japan earlier this month, and it is leftover text for their use being changed prior to release?
  23. Ah okay, that's pretty interesting. So are they just trash items that have no use now? Or were the items removed/renamed? Are they still in the data files, just not obtainable? I'm just going off what information there is on the main site. https://serenesforest.net/fire-emblem-echoes-shadows-valentia/weapons/provisions/ This is interesting to me. There's a difference in changes in development prior to release and changes after release with localization for other regions. It never hurts know about changes. Don't see drama over that tbh, lol.
  24. Lol, was that to me? Where did I say I only care about localization because of crazy people?
  25. Any info about localization changes or censorship yet? I hear that this game doesn't really have anything to be censored, which I hope is true. And since the launch between JP and EN versions is so short, it won't be like Fates where tumblrinas overreact over to a wrong translation which affects the localization. I'm also curious if they'll have the age limit of alcohol usage for Provisions at 20 years for units. I see the ESRB says "Alcohol Reference", dunno what the difference is between "Reference" and "Usage". But it could mean the drinks are still alcohol based, and it doesn't count as "Use of Alcohol" in the ESRB because you don't actually see it (through menus only?)? Just wondering~~
