Yeah, I think capture is pretty cool. It makes generics seem more like real people (With actual names and unique attributes) that can actually change allegiances given the right circumstances. Offering a way for the player to spare enemies and just imprison them rather than killing everything without a second thought is also interesting. Would kind of like to see them flesh Capturing out properly in future games in order to make sparing and imprisoning enemies a core mechanic of the game (Maybe even keeping them as hostages or selling them back home for money, though I'm not sure if Fire Emblem would go that far). I'd even be OK with Thracia capture returning, though you'd have to place some limitations on that I feel. I always thought figuring out how to get enemies into capture range makes for a pretty cool challenge in terms of gameplay for both Fates and FE5. Makes you think about HOW you deal with enemies rather than just the usual "destroy everything with your strongest guy", so yeah, I'd love more of it

You'll need to install a Custom Firmware (CFW) on your 3DS. I'm not that experienced with it myself, but I think Luma3DS is what most people use. You'll then need to install the emulator through an app called FBI which should be easy enough at that point. Not sure how well SNES emulators work, haven't tried any myself I think. What I do know is that GBA games tended to not run perfectly through emulators on my New 3DS. I've recently come across a tool called Open AGB firm which runs GBA games directly through the 3DS's built-in hardware though, and it's great, works perfectly. Don't think there's anything like that for SNES though. I'm sure you can find a lot of tutorials out there on how to set the CFW up. Be careful though, as I'm not sure if the hacks are already compatible with the latest 3DS firmware version.

So this might seem a little off-topic here, but does anybody know if there's a way to make the Armory in Battle Preps available in Hard Mode with this patch installed? There's a patch for enabling the preparations shop in FE Builder, but that one doesn't work in conjunction with the newest version of this Localization Patch (Did work with older versions of it though). This might be because of the edits to the Battle Preps menu in version 1.1, like implementing the support viewer (Which is great by the way). I don't know the first thing about hacking unfortunately, and was just wondering if there was a way. All I know is the hex edits do nothing with the newest version of this patch applied. Already asked this in Fan Projects/Questions but didn't get a response.

Thracia 776 comes to mind. It's really hard, ESPECIALLY when going in Blind.

So which do you mean: Playing AS the villain, or just a story where the villain ends up winning? I guess the closest we're gonna get to the former is something like Conquest or Crimson Flower. As for the latter, I think it would only happen in a scenario with multiple endings (Like FE6 and its "bad" ending). The stories in Fire Emblem are generally really straightforward and normally lead up to the heroes defeating some form of "ultimate evil". There might be some gray along the way, but in the end its usually a pretty black and white conflict. It would be pretty cool to see a Fire Emblem game with a kind of bittersweet ending though. Who knows, maybe we'll get a game with a darker tone somewhere down the line.

I've been wanting to make the shop in FE6's battle preparations accessible in HM (In case you don't know, FE6 only allows you to shop between chapters in Normal Mode). I'm using FE Builder and there's a patch available for this exact issue. It works with the regular version of the game, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with the latest version of the localization patch by gringe (Likely because that patch edits the preparations menu by implementing some QoL features like the support viewer). With the localization patch installed, the FE Builder patch does nothing, the shop is still unavailable on Hard Mode. It DOES work when using older versions of the translation, but I would really like to use the most recent one with all of its features. Unfortunately I do not have the slightest clue about hacking and wouldn't know how to enable the armory in HM myself while also using the newest translation patch. You'd likely have to do some Hex edits, but I wouldn't even know where to begin. Anyone know if there is a way?

I'm from Germany and have been a fan of Fire Emblem ever since Awakening came out. Since then, I played most games in the series. The only ones I didn't play yet are Radiant Dawn, Birthright, Revelation and FE1-4 (Only 2 chapters into FE4 so far, can't really seem to get into it though). Also know close to nothing about Heroes as I'm not into Gacha games at all. My favorites are the GBA games (FE6 in particular) as well as Thracia 776. I'm also working on a little fan project of mine (Basically a map design, gameplay and difficulty rework of FE6. I know, I know, ANOTHER one of those. Just couldn't help myself though, since I'm having a lot of fun making it). Would love to share it here once it's done! I'm normally somewhat reserved and not a very outgoing person, but I do like engaging in discussion as well as Fire Emblem, so I hope I can combine those two things on here. 🙂 Thanks for having me, everyone
