I've played through up to chapter 3 (Actually I was in the middle of it and Breyette got killed by a purge, so I quit and came to write this), and I just want to give my feedback. I'm playing on the latest patch (1.09 Hard), and have been jotting down notes as I've played each chapter. They're mostly writing things (which, let's be honest, are mostly opinion based) and bugs b/c I have a hard time judging game play (Like if something's off I usually assume I'M the one sucking, not the game). Warning this is gonna get real nitpicky real fast. And lastly I know its been harped on already, but *sigh*, yeah, those mugs. Firstly, it's a little immersion breaking to have Dormund in your party, or to fight Berguet as the boss of a chapter 1 that isn't vanilla FE8 (Also the bandit that grabs the horses from the stable in chapter 1 looks like a regular soldier which I found funny). Bosses and playable characters should get their own mugs (Bandits/ Villagers/Soldiers can retain vanilla portraits). And what custom mugs there are... just aren't very good, no offense. Look man, you've already done more for this hack than anyone could've reasonably asked of you. Right now you're needed on bug fixing and polishing the writing (I'm using the word "needed" liberally, I mean not to imply anyone is forcing you to do this, which just makes this hack even more impressive). You aren't in this alone. I know its been mentioned, but you should go on over to the spriter's part of SF and be like, "Hey, I made this hack, and its complete gameplaywise(!), I just need help with mugs/ art assets. I've mocked up a few characters in the a mug creator program to give my interpretation of they should look like, but, well, yeah..." I'll say it again: you're not alone. We all want to see you succeed. I typed all of this out because I want to see you succeed. You've already enjoyed great success with this hack. Sorry if any of this sounded rude, I meant purely for it to be constructive. I cannot overstate how impressed I am that this sort of just came out of nowhere. I'll be leaving more thoughts on the next few chapters as I get through them. Until then!
