Join Mycen and Luthier in Shadows of Valentia Reverse Recruitment. For anyone that is not familiar with reverse recruitment, the concept is pretty simple - it just reverses the order that characters are recruited. Screenshots Patch You can download the patch here: FE15 Reverse Recruitment V1.01 Note that this was built based on the North American version of the game. No testing has currently been done with different versions of the game, and no testing has currently been done with DLC. If you haven't played a modded 3DS game before, I recommend reading Citra's Guide on Game Modding. Spreadsheet Here is the Spreadsheet with Unit Stats. Characters were leveled or de-leveled based on their growth rates. For characters who join in a lower tier class than in vanilla (i.e., required "depromotion"), base stats were calculated by subtracting their original class bases and adding their new class bases (excluding resistance), and then leveling or de-leveling. Credits This was built using the following tools: Paragon editor by Thane98, FEAT by SciresM, Ruby .bin unpacker / repacker by Ambiguous Presence, HxD, and Notepad++. Special thanks to circleseverywhere for help in figuring out how to allow Mycen and Luthier to attack within dungeons. Changelog V1.01: Fixed RES stat on some characters.

Original post has been updated for release of V2.0 of this patch. I wanted to make the reverse recruitment patch compatible with the latest FE5 translation and QoL patches, and ended up rebuilding the hack since FE5 hacking is much simpler than it was back in 2018. Let me know if you run across any issues or have any questions.

Could you add FE5 Reverse recruitment and Tear Ring Saga reverse recruitment to the list?

Oh yeah, let me add that to the original post. All PRF weapons (Including the holy swords) now belong to the unit who replaced them. So Juni can use Holmes' holy sword, Tia can use Runan's holy sword, etc. There are a also a few unique situations regarding PRFs: Alicia and Meriel swap places, so Alicia gets a thunder magic version of Starlight (called Starstorm lol) and Meriel gets Dire Light (Which replaces Dire Thunder). Alicia also gets Aura rain, but that is still light magic, so you will have to promote Alicia if you want to be able to use Aura rain. Esther replaces Rishel, so she gets the Sunspear, which is a 1-3 range spear that replaces Sunflame. Plum and Lionheart swap places. Lionheart obviously can't use the Enarmor staff, so that became Renee's PRF instead (Since Renee is now the one that gives it to Lionheart in the event)

Have you ever wanted to use a character that can warp anywhere on the map at will? Tear Ring Saga gave us that ability, but the two characters that had it joined late. Well, now in TRS RR you can use them from the start of the game! Have you ever wanted dual female lords? TRS RR has that too! Have you ever wanted a thief lord with 1 base STR and a 0% STR growth rate? Probably not, but you will get one of those in TRS RR too! Screenshots See here for some screenshots of the fun that is to be had. Patches Patch for vanilla V1.04 to RR V1.02: Here The patch should be applied to a .bin file that has already been patched with V1.04 of Aethin's English translation patch. You can obtain the English patch here. These are all xdelta patches, so use your favorite xdelta patcher (Delta Patcher and xdelta UI are two I know of) to patch it. Guide I have made a handy Spreadsheet Guide that covers recruitment, unit stats, learned skills, promotion gains, events, and other notes. It should have basically everything you need to know while you're playing TRS RR. Note that there are multiple tabs in the spreadsheet. Be sure to check out the "Other Notes" tab, it has some important information! FAQs Do characters have their normal growth rates? How did you calculate the character base stats? Yes, none of the characters growth rates were changed at all. Character base stats were obtained by using their growth rates and leveling or "deleveling" them to their new level. Promotion bonuses were also added or subtracted as necessary. In TRS there are some classes that don't promote, what happens to units that replace these classes? I took this on a case-by-case basis: The Royal Knight class is considered a promoted version of the Cavalier class The Shadow Knight class is considered a promoted version of the Shadow Lancer class Leda Princess is considered a promoted version of Princess Prince is considered a promoted version of Lord. Artilleryman, Chief, Witch, and Pirate are considered promoted classes, but with no unpromoted version. Thief is considered an unpromoted class. How are PRFs handled? All PRF weapons now belong to the unit who replaced them. So Juni can use Holmes' holy sword, Tia can use Runan's holy sword, etc. There are also a few unique situations regarding PRFs: Alicia and Meriel swap places, so Alicia gets a thunder magic version of Starlight (called Starstorm lol) and Meriel gets Dire Light (Which replaces Dire Thunder). Alicia also gets Aura rain, but that is still light magic, so you will have to promote Alicia if you want to be able to use Aura rain. Esther replaces Rishel, so she gets the Sunspear, which is a 1-3 range lance that replaces Sunflame. Plum and Lionheart swap places. Lionheart obviously can't use the Enarmor staff, so that became Renee's PRF instead (Since Renee is now the one that gives it to Lionheart in the event) In Vanilla Alfred joins in the final chapter to prevent the player from softlocking the game if they do not have Sierra/Renee alive. Is there any failsafe to prevent the game from softlocking in RR? Yes, I did put a failsafe in. Kreiss, who replaces Alfred, will have a warp scroll in his inventory when he joins in the final chapter. It will allow him to learn warp. Credits Many thanks to Aethin, who answered numerous questions I had throughout the hacking process. Programs used to create this hack were HxD, CDMage, TIM Viewer, and TRSModify. Changelog V1.02: Based on discord suggestions, changed Zieg's starting class to be Shadow Lancer instead of Cavalier, since that makes more sense. V1.01: Fixed Letena's portrait when she joins in chapter 2.

Sorry for the confusion, but the English RR patch already incorporates Chimera's menu translation, so it should be applied to a clean Japanese ROM. I will update the OP to make that a bit more clear. That's a good idea, I will add the character classes to the spreadsheet tonight or tomorrow.

Hmm what version of the patch are you using? Does it happen no matter which unit you move first? Are you moving and attacking or just moving? I will try to investigate this some more, I haven't had anyone else come across this yet. EDIT: I have been unable to replicate this glitch, I will need some more information to figure out what's going on.

Version 2.0 is here! Over four years after the original release, version 2.0 of FE5 Reverse Recruitment is here! The hack has been completely rebuilt using newer hacking tools. Major changes include: The patch now includes the Lil' Manster translation and QoL patch. All credit goes to Miacis and the rest of the Lil' Manster team. For details on the Lil' Manster patch, see here. No currently known glitches Personal weapons are the same as they are in vanilla - no wacky makeshift personal weapons anymore Ronan no longer uses swords, and other similar weird work-arounds have been removed Characters generally have correct palettes in battle (A few characters will use default palette until they promote). Character portraits are changed during dialogue (Note: portraits are not changed during the world map sequences) A few units have some different weapon ranks on secondary weapons, since weapon ranks now follow a new formula when swapping characters that don't have the same number of weapons Authority stars are now swapped, instead of being based on the original unit. Special events items have been changed to be relevant to the unit Some chest items in the Manster arc have been updated to be more relevant for the units you have Other minor changes that are inherent to the fact that the hack was rebuilt Screenshots Patch V2.01 Patch This is an IPS patch, so you will need an IPS patcher such as FLIPS to apply them. The patch should be applied to a clean, japanese, unheadered, V-ROM version of Thracia 776. You will know the ROM is unheadered if the filesize is 4096 KB. Spreadsheet I have created a spreadsheet with a list of which units swap, unit stats, and special events. See here. FAQ Do characters have their normal growths? How did you calculate the character base stats? Character growths are kept the same. Base stats were calculated by either leveling or "deleveling" characters to their new level, and adding in or subtracting promotion bonuses as necessary. When leveling or "deleveling" characters, all promotions were assumed to occur at level 10. What about Weapon Ranks? Weapon ranks are based on the character that is being replaced. Example: Vanilla Dagdar had A rank in Axes, E rank in bows. Amalda, who replaces Dagdar, now has an A rank in swords, and an E rank in staves How do you get through Manster without a thief? Every character that joins in the Manster arc now joins with 3 door keys in their inventory, so there are plenty of door keys to get through Manster. Some additional door keys have also been added to enemies throughout the Manster arc. Why doesn't Galzus have insane health like he does in vanilla? Galzus's HP is the one stat that is nerfed from what it "should be" based on the calculations for balance. It won't work in my emulator. What should I do? Use SNES9X. The English patch expands the size of the ROM, which some older emulators don't like. Who are the route split characters? A Route Characters: Brighton (Alba must be dead or unrecruited), Macha, Lifis, Dagdar B Route characters: Ronan, Marty, Eyvel How do supports work? Supports are based on the new characters. So Galzus only supports Mareeta, he doesn't support most of the army like Leif does. Credits Credits to Miacis and the Lil' Manster team for the translation and QoL improvements, and this hack was built with the Lil' Manster teams hacking tools. Many thanks to ZaneAvernathy for all of his work in FE5 dissassembly. Also thanks to Kirb who helped me with some documentation during earlier development of this hack. V2.0 Changelog V2.01: Fixed an issue where Galzus's authority stars underflowed.

I don't really agree with the idea of having a whole tier of classes locked behind DLC, so I'm not a fan.

I was born and raised in Perth, Australia. I have lived in Colorado, USA for 5 years now, though.

Roommates can be difficult, my roommate was very difficult freshman year. Then I got my own apartment and roomed with some friends for the next 3 years and it got a lot better. Just deal with it by letting them know what your problems are and trying to work through it. And making sure you have other places you can go hang out with when you need to get away from the dorm.

I agree on Midir, I totally thought he was a girl. I knew about the pairing system, so I was trying to pair her with guys for the first few chapters before I finally learned he was a guy.

I still use the old design, so that probably speaks to my opinion on the new one.

Yeah I messaged a mod to figure out how to post a topic and they confirmed you need to have 10 posts, just for anyone that needed a confirmation.

Welcome to Serenes! I'm new here myself, hope to see you around.
