I would also like to know if this is still happening. The Discord links here are expired.
Really interested, this has been a dream project of mine for some time, but I've never had the free time to learn FE romhacking till now.
I've been wanting to remake 6 and/or 7 using 8's engine as a first mod for a while now.
But I've always been too busy to take the time to learn how to do so.
