    @grinus I agree. It's so very nice to see so many people with fascinating idea within the realm of Fire Emblem, like the story I'm reading right now by @TheSilentChloey over at written works. While I haven't talked with too many people on Serene yet, I think it's a pretty chill place.

    Although, I'm still not getting any help yet on modding FE with Macs, lol. (Maybe they'll recommend me come back to windows. XD)

    I've been actually toying with the idea of a Fire Emblem setting that's filled with Manaketes - humans are all but extinct; once I get into rom hacking, I'd love to turn it into a SS or FE7 hack ^^

    Hello Everyone!

    Been using Serenes Forest almost religiously since I discovered it about a month ago, and have learned a LOT with regards to both FE: Awakening and FE: Fates/Birthright. Really appreciate all the hard work everyone has put into maintaining the sight and keeping the forums running.

    Hoping to get a new/my first play-through HM/No-Grind PMU here soon and can't wait to see what comes up next.

    Heya!  Nice to meet you, and good luck on your PMU!  (Which units have been picked btw?)

    I have the world actually fleshed out... more or less. The world is actually more a continent, divided by 8 (well, currently 7, used to be 8 at a much earlier point, time-wise) countries/kingdoms. Their names, landmarks, trails... may need help naming smaller villages along the way, forbidden lands, etc. If you want more info, feel free to PM me, and I'll try to indulge you; I'm very open to criticism, as well as suggestions to improve on what I already have.

    Alright then!  See you then ^^

    I've mostly been fiddling around, trying to figure out the hacking tools myself; if I had more time, I'd watch some 'How to...' videos and learn how to do it properly, haha. As for my roleplaying, well, I've grown used to all players; newbies, experienced, and veterans of all kinds, really. More than anything, I would like my RP to be the foundation for my rom-hack to be, essentially... Meaning that in a sense, it won't be just my project, but anyone who wishes to participate as well. That's the goal, anyways... I may be quoting a line I heard somewhere in a game, 'Unobtainable dreams are the best kind', and that's how I'm looking at things now, haha. I hope to get it together, though, turning that 'unobtainable' to 'obtainable'.

    So uh, a roleplay in your own setting?  I mean, if that would help you flesh out the world, that's cool!  But I would need the details as to what's going on, y'know ^^"

    She isn't referred to by name, but she runs the secret shop, options and suspend feature.

    There are also several characters who clearly started out as Fire Emblem characters such as Jake and Xane.

    Tearring Saga: Utna Heroes Saga came out at a time of a major Fire Emblem drought, so there were no other Fire Emblem games out at the time.

    I was going to respond to this awhile ago, but I forgot ^^"

    It's really weird how they just sort of have

    orange Anna

    Is this a precursor to blue Anna from Awakening???

    The world may never know.

    I may be a dork... almost 12 years of experience in roleplaying and fan fictions... not even 2 weeks for hacking, though. I mean... All I managed to achieve was my display image, which is the general appearance of my major OC of my latest FE RP... which I hope to have up once I get the green light. It is a bit rough, I haven't exactly finalized a title for it... And I do admit, Sacred Stones is part of the inspiration in making it, but I did my best not to make it a complete copy-paste, throwing my own sort of ideas out there, like weather influencing some units more greatly than others, for example.

    Well, I'd love to see them sometime (I wouldn't mind rping Fire Emblem or whatever with you, if you wanted), though I've only had like...four-ish?  Five-ish years of rping experience?  So I might not be as good as you haha ^^"  I haven't even touched an emulator yet, so you're doing better than me already o -o"  I'd love to see the progress on your hack as you keep going!

    Ah, had no idea the number was meant to be a secret; something I will recall from here onwards. Nonetheless, glad to be a part of this site; though my knowledge of Fire Emblem is limited at best, I do enjoy reading, and will be relatively easy to catch up, I'm sure. I enjoy typing as well; though I am rather limited where and when I put up a response, I've written a share of fan fictions before, and have plenty of experience in the text-based role-playing department as well. Only recently getting into ROM hacking; I do have an RP idea that I would like to adapt into  custom Fire Emblem rom at some point, but... just idle ramble. My artistic talents are... well, I used to draw well, but now I'm limited only to weapon design; character design is sub-par, at best. I don't run Photoshop, though I could always find a download somewhere, I'm sure... Anyways, I hope to get to know as many people as possible; I might be shy at first, but I am easy to get along with; hope to meet some like-minded individuals while I'm here.

    Oooh you roleplay?  Also I've been trying to get into the rom hacking side of things for some time now; it seems really cool!

    @Soleater There is a full translation patch for it. 

     

     

    Oooh thank you so much!

    Also if you want to @ people, you have to actually select the pop up, or the person won't get the message, it'll turn green like this, @grinus

    @Soleater Nintendo sued Kaga's company twice and lost. The third time, they won and I'm pretty sure this is why the relationship between Nintendo and Kaga was soured.  Also, why the game never got officially translated and released here. 

    Never heard that before, but considering the issues with Starfox 2, I wouldn't put it past Nintendo :/

    Sucks though that we didn't get Tearring, but it probably would have gotten called a Fire Emblem clone if FE7 was over here at the same time.

    Don't make that number public.  Sorting out legit posts from spam is a lot more irritating than nuking topics.

    Anyway, with the inability to make topics off the bat, this thread should serve nicely.  I'll pin it.

    I didn't know the number was supposed to be private, I'm sorry.  I wasn't uh, trying to incur the wrath of spam bots back onto the forums ^^"

    Thank you for pinning it though!

    I guess you could consider it a spiritual successor to the FE series since it is created by Shouzou Kaga, the original creator.  The gameplay is similar but more varied. The animations and art direction is quite lovely.

    Tearring Saga is a Fire Emblem in all but name, Anna even shows up.

    I heard it was something along those lines?  But wow even Anna showing up?  That sounds...dangerously risky with Nintendo tbh.

    Oh great, you made the thread! Haha :D 

    To all the new members, hello. I just started not too long ago myself. I hope you'll all enjoy your stay here. Chat away!

    Thanks for pinning this for us eclipse, keep up your hard work. :)

    Eeeyup!  Thought it would be useful, at least ^^"

    I've been playing Tear Ring Saga lately and you may enjoy that as well. It has a pretty in-depth lore and actual gods. 

    Well, I am a big fan of the whole "worshiping a thing that isn't really a god" thing, as that comes off as kind of...idk realistic?  I guess?  Idk, but as someone who's really into her Greek mythology, I still like your tried and true god here or there.

    Tear Ring, is that really considered Fire Emblem though?

    Much thanks for clarifying what is required to start a topic in the forums. I've asked around to no avail.  I've very much enjoyed Fire Emblem/Fire Emblem Sacred Stones which lead me to play the other games in the series. I think my favorite ones are still Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn due to its varied objective/maps/memorable character art styles. Well met and see you on the forums!

    Nice to meet you too, and no problem!  The posting thing is something I had a lot of trouble with too truthfully o -o"  I honestly haven't played anything before Awakening (I want to, especially the GBA games x.x), but the Tellius games always looked pretty interesting; seemed pretty interesting to have actually gods in the lore instead of dragons being worshiped as gods.

  11. As a rule, Serenes Forest has it so that you can't start a topic until you have posted a certain number of times, outside of Far from the Forest.  However, for those who wanted to get to know everyone before they hit that quota, make some friends, or wanted to know the basics of the forums (not that I'm an expert, to be fair), here's the place to do it!

    No need to keep it just to introductions though!  You can chat and hang out here as long as you want - no need to be shy!  Have it at it! ^^

    MOD EDIT: I know you mean well, but the New Topic thing was yanked because some spammers abused it.  The last thing I want to deal with is another spamwave, but with the spam inside of existing topics.  That's why I tell people to PM me for the actual number.  Or, they can use the Search function, and see that I tell people to PM me.

    If there are any questions regarding the rules/how to use this forum, feel free to send the mods a PM.  That's what they're there for!

  12. 2 hours ago, NeoVerdin said:

    Hmm...perhaps we should get an admin or a mod make one then pin it? I think that would be an excellent idea.

    Wouldn't know who to ask, but I think I'll start that forum now! ^^

    EDIT: I made it!  It's called "Newbie Meet 'n Greet"

    I never would've guessed, but suppose spam-protection is a necessity in forums nowadays. Anyways, I'm Dark_Fire27, though Dark, Fire, or Dark Fire, would work as well. The only Fire Emblem games I have played are Fire Emblem for the GBA (Lyn's game) as well as Sacred Stones. I unfortunately haven't played any other games in the series; I'd be playing Heroes if I had a compatible phone that won't crash every 5 seconds after tapping the title screen. Despite my somewhat somewhat limited knowledge, I hope to get along with everyone here; I'd make my own topic for a bit more formal introduction rather than bumming off an existing intro, but... 10 post minimum required before 'New Topic' becomes available, from what I've read. Got to start somewhere, after all! Keep an eye out.

     

    -Yours truly, Dark Fire

    Yup, you're right - ten posts before being able to start a topic.  Nice to meet you though!  While I haven't played Sacred Stones (or really, anything before Awakening unfortunately), it seems like a really interesting game personally ^^

  13. 4 hours ago, NeoVerdin said:

    Lol, well everyone got to start from somewhere if they can't create new threads.

    Maybe I should make some sort of meet 'n greet thread, so newbies can introduce themselves without having to bum out on other threads...

    From the looks of things, having brand =\= being able to use Falchion, unlike in FE4.

    Otherwise Lucina’s sibling supports make no sense with at least Inigo.   They always assumed he couldn’t use it, despite him specifically stating he has a brand.  If having brand = can use Falchion, then this never should have been in question.

    Not to mention, later in the support, whether or not Lucina's sibling has the brand, they manage to cleave the log given to them my Lucina in two - something that only someone who can access the power of the Falchion can apparently do.  So I guess logs are dragons too now

  15. Canonizing Roy's mom seems to be something people have an issue with, but Heroes straight up confirmed with the second Spring banner that the Order of Heroes is straight up pulling people from a bunch of different dimensions - see, all of the Bartre's pulled.  So if we were to have a manakete Roy as an alt in Heroes, I'd be all for it!

    Besides I'm up for more dragons in general tbh mmk

    The continent is called Ylisse in Awakening.

    Panne never indicated Ylisse the country had anything to do with the genocide and stated the Ylisse Kingdom and its rulers have always supported taguel.

    Panne: Yes, it's precious little your kind seem to understand. It was man-spawn like you that invaded our warren and slaughtered my people.

    I always took this that this meant it was Ylissians that killed the last of the Taguel.

  17. I'm in the camp of wanting beast units - Laguz, Taguel, Beastkin (Fates'), all that.  I think they could be really interesting if you made them wield their own kind of weapon - probably claws (since, despite them using stones like the Manaketes, most don't use breath weapons).  Pretty sure that Dragon Laguz could stick to breath weapons as theirs, but either way, I'd love to see beast units integrated into the game.

    Other than that, I can't wait for some more of the Shepards: Sumia, Libra, Maribelle, Kellam, Miriel...And I'd love to see more of the Awakening kids (excluding Yarne, since he'd be a part of the Laguz/Taguel representation), like NAH, Cynthia, Kjelle, Brady, and Laurent.  I know we're kind of drowning in Awakening, but I can't lie that's what I want to see ^^

    It'd be great to see more Valentia characters, like Kliff, Python, Silque, Valbar, Tatiana, Luthier, CONRAD, and, bit of a pipe dream, but maybe even Mila herself?  I know she'd have to be super nerfed, but hey, we had Grima, so why not Mila?

    Also wouldn't mind seeing Nyx, and maybe even Nils?

    As much as I love Awakening, the taguel was a big mistake. Yes, an obvious reference to the laguz of the Tellius series, but it's the one lore that absolutely doesn't fit. You can make easy theories and scenarios for the other parts, but this one is too much. Also, I doubt they can have the taguel be part of the Archanea series. That's because even in Echoes, they showed no signs of the taguel. 

    Also, because Panne states that she was just an infant when her kind were slaughtered and their culture was lost, this was likely intentionally done so that there need no explanation on it. But then Panne tends to contradict herself by explaining other things about the taguel. 

    The best I'm sure they might come up with is that they are a recent species that evolved from animals hundreds of years after Marth's time, like maybe a century or so before the First Exalt. 

    I actually like the idea of Taguel, because what you know about them could be completely false.  You only have one (shaky at best) eyewitness for the slaughter and lives of the Taguel, and Emmeryn who "heard" about the atrocities that were committed - you could have a completely different backstory, and just call Panne misinformed.

    And since she was an infant (as far as she knows), she was probably raised by human foster parents (how else could she survive on her own as an infant), so you could have something else entirely instead of, well, retconning them into the story.  Maybe the continent they were on was a different one from Archenea, or maybe the person who slaughtered them wasn't Ylissian are all - the possibilities are endless because Panne is a faulty source of information.  (And Yarne can be thrown completely out of the equation)

    So you could actually have the Taguel, and something different from Laguz, without retconning them into SD or Mystery - just have Panne be an unreliable source of information.  (She already kind of is)

    Crack theory: the taguel are the laguz that have seemingly lost their powers from mating with humans. But eventually they discovered that they haven't truly lost their powers, but they have in fact been sealed away and the laguz learned how to draw these animal powers out as stones. 

    ...That's actually not a terrible idea, since Taguel seem to be people taking on an animal form (or something like Selkies), rather than Manaketes, who are non-humans taking on a human form.  I'd honestly buy that (but if you wanted to make this separate from the Tellius games, maybe not Laguz?  idk since Owain seems to know who Ike is so *shrug*)

    I do and do not at the same time.

    This is cause while I would like a story about the First Exalt, at the same time, my friend and I want to make our own and having an official one might have issues with us.

    That's totally understandable - I'd like a story about Chrom's father during the Plegian excursion, but I have my own ideas about it, and I'm not sure I'd like to give up my ideas (Chrom's right hand knight being Frederick's mom, and a Fire/Ice hybrid dragon looking for Nowi as your playable Manakete, for example).

    In Awakening and Fates, I'm always careful to avoid 2nd generation incest (or any incest, except Corrin and Azura, where I just pretend a single line in the game doesn't exist)

    To be fair, Awakening tries its hardest to make the incest not there with the "Companions" title - a valiant effort, in my opinion (since there were SO many supports, it may be weird to rewrite them if some characters were cousins and all).

    Fates...didn't care.  It sucks because a few artists out there made me fall in love with F!CorrinXAzura, and Azurin in general has more chemistry than more than half of the other Corrin ships in there...but because we couldn't go five seconds without making Corrin the prince(ss) of a kingdom/giving Azura a mysterious~ backstory, we got Incest Emblem: Cousin Edition.  Spiritual Successor to Genealogy of the Holy War.
