That does sound rather enticing, if I ever have a grand scale idea again or want to revive an old project it certainly sounds like something to consider. I even have a hack in mind that several others and I worked on. This was a different forum, and I don't believe anyone has worked on it in ages.

I honestly didn't even know what it was until I looked it up just now, but at first glance it looks really cool. I think it's something I would want to look further into, and see what other people who have used it have thought.

Hey everyone, I used to be on here a while ago *looks at join date.* oh wow, my join date was almost a decade ago. Where does the time go? Anyway, I've continued using the site for general FE information, but only recently did I wanna check out all the Forums I used to visit. (And of course most of them aren't exactly thriving like they used to be.) But Three Houses got me excited to talk on Forums again so here I am. As for an actual introduction since I'm sure this will be nearly everyone's first time meeting me. I've been playing Fire Emblem for quite a long while now, about twelve years. I've at least played each of them, but I have not finished Thracia nor New Mystery. I used to hack fairly often and was never great at finishing my own projects, but would often help with others. I only recently considered getting back into it, and didn't even realize we've come along way and have way better tools than we used to. So perhaps that'll re-inspire me to get creative. Other than Fire Emblem, I spend most of my free time either working (end my suffering.) or watching anime. I enjoy puns quite a lot as well. I suppose that's enough re-introduction for now. Hopefully I'll remain active enough to know some of you and vice versa.

Dessy~! welcome to Serenes~! Ask Me if you have any problems

That's what I usually do; beat the game on normal/hard mode as fast as I can without using a single point of BEXP., I also save all stat boosters until the end. Then save a separate file so that I can pick and choose the characters I want to use for RD transfers.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Linus has the better personality to be revengeful.

*after many months finally starts coming back on Serenes* Hey nice to see your posting MQ in other places Cedar~!

I was actually in the process of making a balance hack for FE6 myself, but I guess there isn't too much need to now... ( still might finish it anyway )

If I remember correctly exp. is actually not that hard to get... If I'm wrong on that thieves get more exp. in a battle than other classes do. and if your on a chapter with an Arena then you could have a random unit go there and bam more exp, as long as going to that arena doesn't ruin your turn count.

Final Fantasy VIII Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow Tales of symphonia

Prologue: ( 2 turns, 2 total) really simple, Seth killed all the enemies. Chapter1: ( 5 turns, 7 total ) Same thing, kept everyone out of the way 'cept Seth who killed everything then seized the throne. Chapter2: ( 6 turns, 13 total) Got some new people, Vanessa and Garcia, first thing I did was recruit Garcia and then I had Seth kill everyone, Garcia took care of some people that somehow got by Seth and Vanessa visited some villages. Chapter3: ( 6 turns, 19 total) Seth and Garcia took the lead, Vanessa followed behind, Neimi recruited Colm and Colm went on a treasure hunt. everyone else went straight for the boss and the chapter was seized on turn 6. Chapter4: ( 5 turns, 24 total) Seth went straight for the boss, Colm, Garcia and Vanessa fought of enemies and made sure nobody could get to Eirika or Artur. I will be updating everyones stats and levels every five chapters.

Gilliams not that bad, but he does have pretty bad move. given the fact that Garcia can use axes, I guess will use him so I can use Garm. Also, I just realized I don't have any magic units.

I'm not too worried about FE8 so I don't really need to ditch Colm for Cormag. Since I'm doing Lyn mode I want to use Lyn since she's the only unit for the first chapter. Roy is good at defeating dragons later and is good for fighting the final boss. I was thinking about replacing Geese with Gonzales, but I decided to stay with Geese and I don't think I'll need Garcia. Although Gilliam might come in handy... Forde for Florina... Flroina is very useful and I don't have too many people for Lyn's mode so I might consider switching. I'll think about it later, if I get rid of Forde I'm going to end up using one of the letters to solo chapter 5x with Orson.

Oh whoops! thank you for pointing that out, I threw Z in there becuase it's an uncommon letter but I forgot about Zeiss. I was thinking Normal mode for all of them, fe8 might be a little too easy, especially with Seth but oh well. Also kinda don't have a choice for some of them, a while ago everything on my computer got wiped so I have to start new files on everything, of course it would be pretty easy to find a save file but still... I will be playing through Lyn's mode and Eliwood's mode on fe7. If I find Normal mode on all the games too easy, I will probably redo the challenge another time on hard mode.

I got bored so I thought up a new challenge for fire emblem. I'm gonna play fire emblem 6-8 ( starting with 8, ending with 6, seeing as how 8 is the easiest and 6 is the hardest) Now the challenge is to use all character with different letters, in other words I can't use Sain and Serra when I playthrough FE7, but I also can't use Seth in FE8 and then Sain in FE7. I might post this on youtube depending on if I'm in the mood or not... Youtube gives me some trouble every now and then and I don't like taking the time to upload stuff. FE8 Vanessa, Seth, Joshua, Garcia, Colm. FE7 Eliwood, Hector, Lyn, Bartre, Kent, Matthew, Oswin, Ninian/Nils ( they count as one) Florina FE6: Roy, Zeiss, Alan, Treck, Wade, Percival, , Dieck, Igrene. Q, U, X, Y For each letter left over ( since I had to do something with the left over letters) I can use one character for one chapter, ie. I can use a Q to use Ephraim for one chapter, but I'd have to use U to use him for another one. These are basically so that if there's a chapter where I have hardly any characters, I will have something to fall back on. I'm going ot do it kinda of like a draft playthrough, It's probably going to be played casually but I'm hoping for a decent turn count, also if I do end up using a character I haven't choosen after I have used up letters Q, U, X and Y then I get a +2 turn penalty every time I use the character. Also using a character means: shopping, visiting villages, entering a battle ( this includes meatshielding) and unlocking chests. I can however do the following with ALL characters: trade items, open doors, Talk/recruit, Rescue unused characters with used or unused characters.

what I like to do is, if I'm looking for really good transfers... start a new game and don't use ANY bexp until the last chapter for staff users and mages that become staff users I rely on staffs for exp ( especially ward) with ward you can easily get, rhys, mist, Elincia, Soren, Ilyana and Tormod to level 20/20. then there's the low leveled people that come late, such as Rolf, as long as they can do some damage you can boss abuse for a while and they're level up relatively quickly. I don't usually bother with laguz since they're a pain to max a stat in and they typically aren't that useful in RD but if you want a few bonuses with them you can just give them stat bonuses for a stat. Reyson you can just spam Canto you can also rely on dodgeing, this takes forever but I've actually had a level 20/14 Mia for chapter 8 because of this ( It took a lot of patience, and a lot of suspending and resuming for about two weeks) I have a near perfect transfer file where almost everyone has decent level 20/20 stats ( except for people like Devdan who I didn't even bother recruiting XD ) but anyway I'll stop rambleing now since I'm kinda getitng off topic, there are many methods of exp abuse, and if you have a level 20/20 Haar in PoR then you'll be really well off in RD since Haar is one of the best people in RD.

a new one I came up with recently, choose a number ( make it somewhat low) and then you can only use every character that many times. ie the number is two you use Soren, Shinon and Titania in one level, they can be used one more time you use Gatrie, Haar and Titania in the next chapter Gatrie and Haar can be used one more time, you may no longer use Titania. use means they are involved in a battle, they rescue someone, visit a village etc. it does not include stuff like arrive/seize/wait or trade items. Lords can have twice as many uses, just because they typically are needed and forced. the worst part is the last five levels ( Asheras tower) because you have a small army to choose from, and since everyone can only be used a certain amount of times ( I typically always choose two) then you can't use you're whole army for each level, it still makes for a fun challenge though. I beat Ashera with Ike, Bastian, Micaiah, Gareth and Nasir.

this seems like I good idea, I'll add some super shift: laguz stats go up by 2.5 instead of 2, but after a few turns the laguz stuck in human form for the rest of the battle. ~laguz only charge: takes a turn to charge an attack for x2 damage speed crisis: every time you take a hit spd +1, cannot exceed +5 this way and effect wears off once target is healed. pirate essence: gives unit ability to talk on water blind: chance of lowering enemies spd and skl -1 and an extra -1 for every ten of their stat ( aka if they have7 or 9 spd they lose 1, 12 or 15 spd they lost 2, 20or 22 they lose 3 etc.) ~light mage, light Sage, High priestess, Bishop and Sain only. corruption: Same as blind but lowers def and res ~all classses that use dark magic only war cry: at the cost of 1/2 your current hp the unit has x2 strength for 2 turns, for these 2 turns the target cannot be healed. speed shot: if under half hp unit can counter with a bow even up close ~archers, snipers and Marksmen only

YESZ THANKSGIVING NOW I CAN EAT A TON OF HERONS TURKEY! happy thanksgiving everyone!!!

army karel? what will you come up with next... I think the hat could use some work, and maybe make the clothes more then just a solid green, and you should give either the hat or shirt a logo.

seems like a good team, a lot of my favorite people are in there ( except for Brom) and you could do what I do and shuffle the bands back and forth, very useful using BEXP and the knight ward I like giving Ike Miracle, Wrath and Resolve, I've actually beaten the final chapter in 3 turns because of this, but Boyd is also good with those skilss... heck anyone is broken with those skills, especially if you have a laguz that capped str, skl. spd or a mix of the three. Oscar with knights band is pretty good, he will probably cap str, and maybe defense. Boyd-Soldier Band soldier band raises def and hp growth, Boyd already has a very good hp growth,but I'd probably give him a different band, to focus on spd, skl or maybe even resistance. Soren-Laguzguard Soren will become a killer since he will take little damage and have effective spells against laguz. I would however give him some sort of band to equip when he is about to level up. Mist-Mage Band so her Magic gets a little beter then Paladen Band Mist should be able to cap mag at level 20/18 so you shouldn't need the mage band, if you want her to have good magic quickly I guess it's a good idea, but overall I'd say just give her a different band from the start. she could use a laguzguard Marcia-Fighter Band she really shouldn't need it, she usually caps str without it, I usually give her the soldier band. Kieran-Archer Band meh,he comes pretty close to capping skl and spd without the archers band, I would just use BEXP to get his spd up and equip the knight ward when you do this, then give him a different band, sword band if you really want that skill, otherwise I'd give him pegasus band for resistance and luck Brom-Knights Ward no problems here, knights with speed are worthy indeed. Zihark-Laguz Guard his stats are pretty good so he probably won't need a band, but still I'd give him one and give the laguz guard to maybe mist. your not even gonna get the other one till you've met up with lucia anyway. Jill-Wyveren Band yup, very useful Muraim-Demi Band take it off the last few chapters and use all the laguz stones you have. Tanith-Full Guard yup, very useful Haar-Theif Band he's not really gonna have it for too many level ups anyway, but yeah I'd use either this or the knight band. skills and supports seem just fine.

My main language is English, I've been learning french for about 4-5 years, I've started to learn polish and Italian and I know tiny bit of spanish and like several words of latin. I know how to say hi and goodbye in like 20+ different languages, that wouldn't get me very far trying to talk to someone speaking in that langague XD

All right thanks! I look forward to the Shamuntal's sprite
