  1. Alright here we go, so I am making a FE fangame using the Lex Talionis Engine (Beautiful thing btw, go check it out) and I thought I'd try out something interesting: So you know endings right? And you know how many games (Including FE games) have good and bad endings? What would you say if we applied that to every single chapter in a fangame, where certain conditions would need to be met for a good ending of the chapter. So for example, you know chapter 6 of Sacred Stones? The one where you get better rewards at the end of the mission depending on how many people you save? Imagine it something like that, obviously not every chapter should have something that forces you to do some ultra complicated task, sometimes it could just be something like recruiting that one enemy instead of killing him, y'know, simple stuff The game would then track the number of Good/Bad endings the player has gotten so far, and I can imagine things changing in the game, like the dialogue being more negative as the cast is barely able to scrape by, or becoming more positive when they do well. But this could also have an effect on the gameplay, like getting a different personal weapon for the Mc depending on how many good/bad endings you got. And it would obviously affect the final ending as well, depending on how many chapters the game would have (My set goal for now is around 10-12 with a few small x chapters mixed in) there could be loads of final endings depending on what you did. This obviously requires every single chapter to have like at least 2 different versions, even if it's only dialogue changes. But I think this is something I could manage, seeing as I haven't set myself a time limit or anything. So far I have tried this out with very simple conditions like "Don't have unit x die" or "Kill unit x before turn 10" stuff like that, but I also tried one more complicated condition (Being, "keep a unit alive", "have that unit visit a village" and "have that unit attack the boss with a specific weapon that you get from the village" all in the same map) and it adds an interesting challenge to the mix, as you aren't strictly required to do all of that, unless you want the Good ending. (This Next part isn't as important and if you're in a rush you can skip it, it just talks about some gameplay changes) Here's a rough overview of how the story's gonna look (Spoiler free obviously), some details may change but generally this is how I envision it: I would absolutely love to put a link here where you could download my work so far and try it out for yourself, unfortunately I am not yet at the stage where I would want to share anything even remotely close to a demo or a beta, everything is still way to temporary and unfinished, but if this somehow get's popular, I'll do my best to get around the first 4 chapters into a state where I am happy with them, so you can try them out. If you have read this far, then I have to thank you very much for taking the time to do so, I would appreciate if you could tell me what you think of the concept so far, should I make it the focus of the game, having everything revolve around it? or should I focus more on something else? Oh by the way, The title for the game will be "Tales of Iluma". I'd but that somewhere in the title of the thread, but as long as this is still in the "Concepts" catagory, I think the current title fits better (I'll update it as soon as we progress past the point of "concept")
  2. Just out of fun, and also as a possible source of inspiration, I'm setting up this thread as a possible excercise grounds and sounding board for people to re-set characters from their favourite game, tv shows etc in scenes, location, timelines different to the original. So the rule is this: Take any set of characters from an already established universe/franchise - it cannot be your original story/characters Re-set the characters in a location, cultural background, or timeline different to the original - it can even be set in another universe (FE characters set in the Pokemon world) Re-write them to fit within the new setting - new names, new traits that reflect their original characteristics etc As per the general subforum rules, this does not have to be FE-related. In fact, I am kicking off with the below: Persona 4's Investigation Team, set in suburban America (originally set in semi-rural Japan) Yu Narukami: A Japanese expatriate, and a long-term US permanent resident who moved into his uncle's home while his parents temporarily returned back to Japan for the year. Yosuke Hanamura: A fellow Japanese expatriate who moved with his family when his dad working in Panasonic, Sanyo, Sony etc was posted to a US branch office and exhibit space. Chelsea Satonaka: A Nisei that is into superhero movies and martial arts. She is also a childhood friend with Juliet. Juliet Armitage: A smart and proper girl whose family members and relatives have been respectable local politicians and other civic leaders. Basically Yukiko Amagi, except she is of Northern European and Caucasian ancestery, and a devout Protestant (as opposed to Shintoist). Kevin Tate: A quarterback of the school's football team that nevertheless struggles with his schoolwork and the expectations of being tough and manly when he also cook and sew - partially because he like to and also because he has to look after his old mother. Basically Kanji Tatsumi, except Caucasian, and somewhat more popular. Rosa "Rosie" Cruz: A former popular child actor on the Disney Channel who decided to take a break from acting and enrolled into the high school Yu is in. Basically Rise Kujikawa, except non-Japanese, less cute and more sexy, more like a valley girl, and focuses more on acting than general idol stuff. Natalie Silverbell: A half-African/Caucasian struggling with her image of a cool detective - due to the fact that the majority of such characters from fiction she knows are Caucasian (Poirot, Holmes, Marple etc). Basically an adaptation (from gender to race) of Naoto Shirogane except her lack of confidence stemming from a lack of diversity representation is race-based as opposed to gender. Teddie: A cartoony looking bear and hunter that resembles Teddy Roosevelt, and is a child-friendly superhero mascot. Looks more badass than the Japanese version, and is a smooth talker.
  3. Okay so I haven't played Three Houses which is going to show here but uh...hope you like this throwing of ideas at the wall. A few cues are taken from Three Houses based on what I've heard. You have a first part which lasts like 5-10 chapters or whatever, then you have a time skip, and after than you have a second part. Most the training / school type stuff is restricted to Part 1. During that portion of the game, you're mainly restricted to the following few units, maybe 2-4 others to fill in the gaps in your team. Perhaps casual mode would be active for this part. During Part 2, you start to get pre-trained units like in regular Fire Emblem games. Classes don't really exist in this game as much as the various ranks / skills you get by the education system (or just have for most Part 2 units), and that somehow that has to be reconciled with this being a game where you can still improve your units after Part 1 in some way beyond just leveling them up. *** Malcolm: @Jotari might remember where I got the inspiration for this idea. Yeltsin: Otto and Joan: The Other Ones: These guys don't have names, but some of them are pretty interesting. *** Mounts and armor work a bit differently here, they're more like equipment than anything else. Riding, Flying, and Heavy Armor skills allow units to utilize horses / flying / armor (with a level of effectiveness depending on their abilities from the skills), which you have a limited supply of to distribute between battles. You can give them to one unit on a certain chapter and another unit on the next. There's a fairly significant investment to getting more of these things- you need to both purchase (mounts/armor) as well as (stable/armory) upgrades to store them in. This was my idea for restricting mounted units a bit. Horses are expensive, and flying mounts are very expensive. Not only do you need to buy mounts, but you also need to pay upkeep on them. As mentioned in Yeltsin's section, you have limited gold and a lot of things to spend it on. Thus, even if everyone in your army is capable of riding a horse, you wouldn't have enough horses for them all to ride. That said, I did have an idea for a "debt" system, where you could take out loans. Depending on the specific nature of the loan you get, you'd have to pay it pack after a different amount of time and your rate of interest would be different. Even if you were very heavily in debt by the end of the game, you could still totally avoid any consequence if your investments over the course of the game ended up being profitable (i.e you restored the damaged lands to prosperity), leading to you getting money after the events of the story and paying off your loans with that. *** Authority is mostly support stuff like Charm and rallies because, having not actually used the battalion mechanic, I don't think I'd like it. Honestly I don't like the weapon-type categories (sword, lance, axe, bow, gauntlet) as much as the others. I don't think they convey as much personality as the others do, and the fun part of this write-up was the stuff where a character's personality was reflected in their strengths and weaknesses and talents. Maybe it would be best if these five weapon categories where scrambled together and rearranged into a smaller number of categories which were more reflective of personality while still granting weapon ranks. This would work pretty well with this other idea I had, where the different skills wouldn't be linear. Rather, each time you increase your rank in a skill, you'd get a "point" to spend in it. You could then spend this point to unlock any ability within the skill which was at or below your current rank. So, even if swords and lances were mixed up in one category, you could still specialize in one of them and ignore the other. A good example might be the Flying skill- each time you get a point, you can become better with pegasi or better with wyverns. Remember, there's no formal class system to determine if you're a wyvern lord or a pegasus knight. This could also be used to spread proficiency with the same weapon among multiple skill trees. For example, there could be some "Sword Prowess +1" abilities in one skill tree, but being weak in or unable to learn that skill or whatever doesn't necessarily mean forgoing swords, since you could learn that same ability from a different skill tree. If you're strong in both of those, you're a natural choice to master the sword. I don't know, I thought it sounded like a fun way to further customization. A big bulky guy and a small speedy guy might want the same weapon, but they'd likely have / want to specialize in different sorts of bonuses aside from that.
  4. The land of Eldrahgo is home to stories of might, magic, and valor. After centuries of war, its five kingdoms have managed secure peace that, so far, has endured even longer. Yet nothing lasts forever. In the blink of an eye, the whole continent is thrown into war again. Its only hope is a young man not of this world. A traveler who must learn to navigate this land if he has any hope of ever getting back home. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Foreword I've always been fascinated about the universe, space, other dimensions, the multi-verse theory, and other related topics generally considered the next frontier/final frontier. I believe in the multi-verse theory and wanted to create some sort of story based around that. And seeing as how there are a bunch of hacks out there set in what I consider parallel universes to the 'official' universes, I decided to go with using this multi-verse idea. Book of Eden is about a traveler from another dimension that whines up in one of those fire emblem universes. I known and talked to many people and one thing that intrigued me was how people always wanted or likes to either put self inserts, or create an alter ego of themselves, or even personal characters and put them into their favorite games/anime/universe. So I'm taking that concept and exploring how someone with little or no prior knowledge end up in one of my favorite universes. I love cross over between characters of different stories and finding out that in the official fire games, the dragon gate is an actual thing, I just might have an easier time bringing in other characters from different universes. So, in addition to the cast of Book of Eden, there will also be characters such as Ike from FE9&10 and Felix from Golden Sun TLA, just to name a few. Most will just be cameos but others will have both major and minor roles in the story. There's a saying that goes a little something like: "Born too late to explore the seas, but born too early to explore the stars." that perfectly captures how I feel about the current state of our world. Nothing beats the feeling of exploring new places and having adventures with those closest to you. Maybe the only exception to this, is having your heroes alongside you for the ride. So, I hope to convey this feeling through Book of Eden. If you would like to help with the creation of this hack, feel free to message me either here or on FEUniverse. Download Version 1.25 is out.

  5. Hi, Sorry for posting nearly the same topic as yesterday but I think it wasn't in the good section and I have taken my concept further and am currently testing the results. Yesterday I came with an idea to balance weapons. I was wondering if anyone would enjoy a FE 8 mod with swords draining hp, 1 range axes ignoring def, and what you would give to lances and bows (currently lances give +4 lck, +2 def and +1 res), while bows have 3 more might, light is effective against monsters (no need to wait for promotion anymore), anima is buffed (+1 might), dark didn't change much, and tomes' weight has been adjusted to fit their users' constitution. The idea is that most sword users aren't very tanky but very fast. If they could drain hp, be they tanky or not, they would be much more usable and wouldn't need access to 1-2 range weapons to be useful. Fast units would drain 2x per fight but take damage if they don't dodge, while slow units would heal back some damage but only once per fight. I intend on balancing the classes and making the ennemies more of what they should be (like in Awakening I guess, they fit much more their roles than in TSS IMHO, especially knights, axemen and mages/dark mages). Lances' bonus stats make them able to reduce crit chance, to take easier the swords' hits so the drain isn't OP, while +1 res helps a little without being gamechanging. Bows don't hit at 1 range so I gave them more poke damage to make archery more useful for what they're supposed to do (the counterpart for 3 MT is 15 hit, a little like Yumi). I gave 30 weight to 1-2 range physical weapons so you only use them situationally (if I give them a speed penalty it would affect more the already slow units than the fast ones, + negative stats tend to bug and show max stat instead so it's the opposite of what I want). It's a good point for me so general Gilliam is as fast as Paladin Franz with a javelin (0-5 spd hoho). Special weapons weren't modified (rapier doesn't drain, don't expect to get back to full hp in one hit on a sword-wielding cavalier, neither does hammer deal true damage, I think it deals enough already). Trainee axe is 1 range, low MT, high accuracy and unbreakable, like short sword and lance, short bow is 2 range, low MT, high acc and unbreakable. These weapons apply the weapon balance treatment so your 8 damage lv 1 Ross will have 8 true damage on any ennemy axcept lance users (9 damage) and sword users (7 damage). Thin lance comes with the tank buff (enjoy your finally able pegasi, including ennemies) and thin sword drains hp. No crit bonus for short weapons. This means trainees can pull their weight even if they can't attack from 1-2 range before D rank (throwing weapons are D rank like in FE13, steel axe is also fixed to D rank, I don't see the reason for making a steel weapon E rank and not the other ones, might as well put everyone to D at base) because their weapons are better and their class stats have been improved a bit (not their growths though). Tana is a Wyvern Rider (female, yes they exist in the code, and unlike female mercenaries, they have custom animations, just like female shamans and sorcerers), Syrene has a little more base stats and completely different growths (tank falcon knight FTW! Palla is back even better than the original!) and weapon ranks on 2nd tier and some stat caps have been made more logical according to their roles in FE8. Magic classes, sages trade mag for spd, sorcerer is better, mage knight and valkyries are more similar in stats to paladins, magic classes base stats have been twisted to fit more their goal. Manakete is less cheated but lasts the whole game when you finally get Myrrh (unbreakable nerfed Dragonstone, again more like Awakening but 1 range only), she has base stats close to Seth's so it won't be an all in fiesta like it used to be at level 1 against cavaliers with Myrrh in chapter 16 but she has more HP (also this means she can take an axe hit from a promoted unit without dying), growths more spread but less OP (very few >100%, most are between 70 and 90, be careful, 12 spd 40% growth! you might keep a speedwing if you want her to double promoted ennemies!) and stat caps are the same as Necromancer (25 spd, 30 everything else) not OP since axe go through def, so does necrodragon's breath and dragonstone has 8 MT (with capped str it means 43 damage, less than regular silver weapons, only some ennemies not wielding axes will not deal much damage to maxed 35 def but it's not like she will cap it at all times in 19 level ups...right? Myrrh should be very close to cap def though if you max her level, but rarely doubles, doesn't necessarily OHKO, and true damage is abundant in axe maps). Great knight has 7 move, , archers have more skl to make up for usual shitty archers, mercenaries are closer to heroes in stat spread (less spd, more def and str) or you could say they are closer to cavaliers with actual skl, female lord has more def, 1 con bonus, male lord was nerfed a little in the speed department cuz Ephraim before promotion was a little too OP compared with Eirika at the same level, and Great lords have better con and stat caps because you wait 16 chapters to make them promote and they're both forced into the endgame chapters. Wyverns lords and knights are more distinct (I took their archetypes from FE13 wyvern lords and griffon lords, because I thought it suited well to the FE8 wyvern concepts), mounted/flying females and males have equal con because it's more the mount's weight than the person's that it taken into count, con overall is more fit to the class it's linked to. Swordmasters trade defensive stats for offensive, assassins have more str than swordmasters but thei def/res cp is still 20 (promotion bonus more offensive for assassins while more defensive as it used to be for swordmasters) and assassins have rogue's exp gain. 200 gold for unreakable weapons, 220 for unbreakable tomes, 10 per use for iron weapons, 20 for steel, 50 for silver, 45 for killer, shamshir is the exception at 60 or 65 because it's killer+drain with lower MT, add 2 gold to these to get the tomes' price per use, staves are globally cheaper. Low rank gems are worth more than they used to, because there's a special surprise in the preparations' armoury and it costs much (even if I lowered the price, being in preparations' armoury automatically makes it cost more gold). Because I didn't like the absence of choice with this point, I made you able to choose if you want to spend that amount of gold for this or if you're patient. It's also a way for farmers to get what they want without waiting to have cleared 70% of the game to have their full team able (and the ones drawn back by this can finally be played in the main story). Would it be funny to play? Would axes having a real utility make you use axemen? (-1 mt +5 hit for axes BTW) Do the effects I gave to lances, bows, magic types appeal to you? Tell me if something would be funnier than what I wrote. I'm open to discussion and I don't think I did the best I could do, there's always room for improvements. After all, it's been 2 years at least that I began to make Nightmare mods and I'm still not perfectly satisfied, maybe I have too many different concepts in mind so I will never stop making new mods and spending hours on Nightmare. Other people learned to use better programs but I'm not a fan of the difficulty to learn these programs although they seem to allow many nice things like skills, randomizing, modifying or creating characters, creating maps and stories etc. If you want to try it and see, here's the link (Lunar IPS patch, apply it to a clean ROM, I used the (U) Trash Man ROM to patch): https://www.dropbox.com/s/6nfofzdikxkxqop/FE 8 drain sword true damage axes version.ips?dl=0
  6. So I basically thought of something odd. I basically wondered how it'd look if FEGBA classes were the same, but without someone here. Just the mounts. I thought it was a nice idea, so I wondered if anyone thought or can make sprites of the mounts (Anthropomorphic to fit the rider's movements, though) alone? thanks. Oh, and for non-mounted characters, any should work/fitting to future promotions.
  7. Quick disclaimer: ↓↓ THIS ↓ ↓ is going to be an utter mess: a convoluted, unnecessarily complicated and generally unprofessional metaphorical swiss cheese full of (plot)holes. But that's what brainstorming is for. So here’s my collection of ideas for a game, to be gladly criticised and improved on. I always wanted to play as a manakete protagonist in FE. Corrin doesn’t really count, it looks more like a Qilin with wings, and it never impacts the story nor is it ever mentioned again, so what's the point? Soo, I started from there. But I'm not sure whether I want the protagonist to be an avatar, per se. It’ll be loosely influenced by the following series: 1. The Legend Of Zektbach 2. The Fate series 3. Drag-On-Dragoon/Drakengard 4. Legends surrounding Robin Hood and King Arthur (AKA an adaptation) NOTE: [sentences in brackets are farfetched, optional propositions not set in stone, but then again, all of this is a prototype.] More details will be added as I go, and feel free to add your own ideas. I'm will also upload this thread as a Word document for convenience if the need arises. GAMEPLAY & MECHANICS: 1. CORE GAMEPLAY: 2. WEAPONS & GEAR: 3. STATUS EFFECTS: 4. SUPPORTS: WORLD OVERVIEW: CURRENT RACES:
  8. Hey all! This is my first post on the forums, though I've been a lurker for years now. I've played through most of the U.S. released Fire Emblem games, as well as many of the Rom Hacks here, but I've wanted to make a hack for a long time now that highlighted Fire Emblem's medieval setting to its fullest extent. This hack will feature a strong story concerning conflicts between the different noble houses and lands, but still incorporate the spirit of Fire Emblem games. While this is still in the conceptual stages, the idea is that it will include: - 20 something chapters, telling a rich story within the context of the world. - Custom Classes (and omissions). I want this to be a very character driven story, and thus some generally playable classes may not be represented as it would be difficult to explain their role. For instance, I don't foresee there being a playable shaman/druid, and there won't be any heavy armored female characters. I will try to incorporate some custom classes. I also want to make some other class changes seen in more recent FE's, such as reducing the movement of all non-cavalier/paladin mounted units by 1. - New maps - New weapons, including those unavailable on normal GBA FE's (hello Levin Sword). - Custom mugs and new characters (previews shown below). I really hope that I can give my characters some real creative depth. For instance, your first healer will be a masochistic priest who looks like a thug, and the only pegasus knight you receive is a male. The goal is to have it so each playable character contributes in some way, however small, to the overall narrative of the story and not just feel like a throw-in. Plot: Long ago, the continent of Ishtaria was beset by constant war and fighting, until one day the Goddess Levinia descended from the heavens and put an end to the bloodshed. She entrusted a portion of her power to mankind through a vassal that would be known as the Apostle. The Apostle held immeasurable power and would be known as the voice of Levinia herself. The Apostle would be reincarnated into a new vassal upon the death of a previous one, and this cycle would repeat until the day Levinia herself came down and delivered salvation upon Ishtaria. The first Apostle, Octavius, founded the Holy Empire of Orvel which would rule over the continent for centuries to come, until the War of Three Kings, which separated the continent into four Kingdoms: Orvel, The Marshlands, Merelden, and the Desert Kingdom of Tanaris. The Marshlands were subject to a bloody civil war that ended with the marriage of Lady Beatrice of House Stormholdt and Lord Gabriel of House McTyiere. Together, they had two children, Lord Markeith and Lady Christana, before Lady Beatrice passed away from illness. The story follows Christana and Kellan, Gabriel's bastard son. While Kellan grew up separately from the lordly siblings, the three were close and often played together until Markeith's assassination some years prior. Kellan is accompanied by his longtime friends Colette, Jory, and Macveil. Preview: I've attached a preview of the portraits I've made below. The numbers denote playable characters in the order they are recruited. All others are NPCs, enemy characters, or characters I haven't decided if they are to be recruited yet. I've wanted to make this hack for a long time now, and I really hope I can show you guys some progress in the coming months. Please, let me know if you have any suggestions or feedback, any would be super appreciated.
  9. This thread should serve as a little guide for all the people who are going to play FE10's hard mode for the first time. Credits go to Quintessence and RadiantDragon who supported me in this. 1. What are the exact differences between normal and hard mode? 2. Which units should get FE9 boosts in which stats? 3. Which Dawn Brigade characters should be used and how? 4. Supports 5. Skills 6. Which items should be bought and stolen? 7. Who shall get which items? 8. Strategies for endgame 9. Other things
  10. So I've been thinking for awhile now about a project I wanna work on, and I've been considering using either FE 7 or FE 8 (Not sure yet which I'd prefer as a base.) I've got much of the story and I've written up much of my plans for the units and class plans I have for them. I decided I wanted to have units use Personal Skills and I also wanted to do Class Skills one for the Base Class, one for Level 10 of that class, and one final skill for the promotion class. So I've been considering how I want the promotion system to work exactly, and I've been considering utilizing Second Seals for units to access alternate classes. However I was considering the feasibility of having Second Seal Classes utilizing slightly different Base Stats by incorporating a unit's base class. An example would be let's say you have a F!Mage which promotes to a Sage or Mage Knight normally. Let's say using a Second Seal the F!Mage could promote to a Harrier which is a hypothetical promotion of a Pegasus Knight that uses Anima Magic and Lances. Using the Base Stats from Sacred Stones for this example. Class HP S/M Skl Spd Lck Def Res Pegasus Knight 65 35 / 5 40 40 35 15 35 Mage (F) 55 0 / 55 40 35 20 5 40 In my project I intend for Magic and Strength to be a separate growth rate. Pegasus Knights will have a 5 in Magic and Mage's will have a 0 in Strength. The hypothetical Harrier class has the following growth rates in this example. However below it is the average of the two above classes in the event that the F!Mage uses a Second Seal. Class HP S/M Skl Spd Lck Def Res Harrier (Normal) 65 35 / 35 40 40 35 15 35 Harrier (Second Seal) 65 35 / 55 40 40 35 15 40 I always felt it strange that there wasn't much carry over of the growth rates from the origin class, and I felt like this would make for more interesting builds. In this example the Harrier has a better Magic Growth which makes more sense anyway since it'd be originating from a Magic Class rather than a Physical Class. So I guess I wonder what others would think of this as a mechanic, the Second Seal would be a somewhat rare item since obviously in most cases a Second Seal class would turn out better than a normal promotion into that class. It might be unbalanced or maybe it'd prove too difficult to implement, but I'd love other thoughts on this idea and concept. (Maybe something similar already exists.) I've also considered doing something similar with the Base Stats, but doing one or the other might be better, though perhaps both is the best scenario in that case too.

    Pokemon Ideas?

    I'm sure we've all wanted to come up with our own Pokemon concepts, what are some that you think should be added? You can add any info, type, animal or object it's based on, stats, moves, evolutions, area etc. For example, I had an idea for a Jack-o-Lantern Pokemon, it'd either be grass/fire or grass/ghost, and would have high HP and low speed. It'd be found in and around ghost dungeons and maybe fields at night. As well as an idea for a Ghost/Steel, it'd be a haunted suit of armour with high attack and defence, and evolves to a haunted suit on a set of horse armour, increasing speed. Found in a haunted dungeon or castle And a Fighting/Dragon Pokemon, it's first evolution would be plain fighting, a cute humanoid reptillian, and then evolving into a larger humanoid reptillian with perhaps boxing gloves. Good on attack and speed.
  12. So this is an idea that I've had for a while and I'm trying to develop it to the point that I can start making it. I will admit that I don't know if anyone else has made anything like this before, but I hope to make the project original and unique enough to justify its existence. Project This hack will be a re-skin of Pokemon Fire Red in which the Pokemon have been replaced by Fire Emblem characters/classes. (More on that later.) Since this will be my first hacking project, I'm trying to keep it manageable, so replacing the Pokemon and changing some dialogue here and there seems like the most realistic route at the moment. The characters that appear will be a mixture of characters/classes from across the series. The Concept So Far Characters: Pokemon will be replaced by Fire Emblem characters. So instead of catching a Caterpie in Viridian Forest, you may end up catching a Cain or Abel. Also, Pokemon will be called Einherjar. Based on a community survey, the Starter Einherjar will be Marth, Ephraim, and Hector!! Pokemon types (fire, water, etc.) will be replaced by Weapon Types. I'm hoping that the class variety of Fire Emblem will let me get creative with the type combinations. Types I'm planning on including so far are: Sword, Lance, Axe, Bow, Beast(horse units and Laguz), Flying(pegasi, wyverns), Armor, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Light, Dark, Hidden Weapons, and Dragon(manaketes and dragons). Type advantages/disadvantages will of course be based on the weapon triangle. I'm not sure if I'll just have magic as a type or split it into Light, Anima, and Dark. Example of what a character's type would look like: Mercenary would be a Sword type, while a Hero would be a dual typed Sword/Axe type. Trainers will be characters from the series. So Gym Leaders could be guys like Seth, Ogma, Elincia, etc. I'm not sure what to do with generic trainers yet. I'd like to include many characters, so I'm trying to figure out which important trainers/characters can be replaced with which FE characters. Evolution will be the way your characters promote. For example, your Mercenary would evolve into a Hero. Not all characters will change class upon promotion FIRST DRAFT OF THE POKEDEX: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14pocqPOEZqtefnxTWCsF9II9CR5br4CogcvsAGqW7EU/edit?usp=sharing So I'll be using this thread to document the development of my concept and ideas, and eventually the development of the game - WHICH I PROMISE WILL EVENTUALLY HAPPEN, BUT ALAS I AM A STUDENT AND THEREFORE FREE TIME IS HARD TO FIND. Please comment with any feedback or ideas you may have. Or even just comment whether you think this is a good idea or not! :) Big thank you to Ryuke, Corrobin, and Donnel, who have contributed very useful ideas and feedback. And thank you to anyone who has filled out any of the surveys.
  13. I got to thinking, what if Sacred Stones's Story went differently? What if instead of Lyon using the Dark Stone, what if it was Vigarde? It's that premise that I was thinking to change Sacred Stones's story, adding some classes, characters, chapters, and many supports. I also was thinking of adding things from other games, like awakenings pair up and children system, both Awakening and Fates paralogue, system, and some other features I still need to think. My question is thoughts, suggestions, and has it been done already? I don't wanna take someone elses idea :/
  14. Project FE X SSB (Currently planned to be named Fire Emblem: The Subspace Emissary) is a crossover game between the gameplay of Fire Emblem and the characters of the Super Smash Bros. series. It is planned to be a little over 30 chapters long, with the possibility of ten additional postgame maps. Every character in the series is intended to be a playable character, except for Dr. Mario, Young Link (due to redundancy), Solid Snake, Pac-Man, Cloud, and Bayonetta (due to those companies' strict policies on fanmade content. I don't want to anger the entire industry). The story has a similar setting, premise, and plotline to The Subspace Emissary from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. However, the plot has been heavily tuned up to provide a more engaging and effective story. The game follows two groups on their quest to fight back against an army comprised of fake copies of people, who later join together for the ultimate showdown against the one behind it all. The game's soundtrack will comprise of GBA rearrangements of tracks ranging from Smash Bros. originals or songs from the OSTs of one of the many series it hosts. Right now, though, the development of this fangame is at a bit of a standstill. Currently, the game is planned to be developed in FEXNA - not because it's a 'make game' button or anything, but because it uses a language similar to RPG Maker, something I'm very familiar with, speeding up the process somewhat. As of now, FEXNA is not going to be released anytime soon. That leaves only the things not needing FEXNA - sprite art, music, and possibly map design. I don't exactly have much experience with graphic design - this is probably the best I can do, and that was just a reskin. And while I can judge music pretty well, I know next to nothing about actually creating it. I'm probably going to have to wait a bit longer before actually beginning any kind of development, but I still wanted to share what I had in mind.
  15. I was thinking of making a Fan Game with popular characters and I thought what sort of features would be good? I'm thinking of using a lot of modern game play elements such as pair ups, my units, and child units but I also wanted a lot of new interesting stuff to make it sort of unique from other fan games. The plot would probably be pretty basic overall but with the unique game specific characters' personality and growth would be the main focus besides the actual gameplay. I have a link here for feedback on some things but if anyone has any other sorts of ideas or suggestions I'd greatly appreciate them, as well as what already existing characters would people want to see make an appearance?

  17. General Thread Update: -OP to be reworked... 6/26/16 -Polls down, thanks for the feedback! :) 6/7/16 -Feedback polls up 5/27/16 So yeah. Working on a concept called Fire Emblem: Book of Exiles.These were the previous plans... they still apply but with some tweaks. [spoiler=Old General Plan]Plan is to release the eventual patches in a three finalized patch format. So as three "books." Book 1: Exile's Journey. Basically intro, a couple chapters for each Lord to give an overview of the situation and overall plot. Book 2: Exiles' Odyssey. Main game, three Lord chapters playable in any order. Book 3: Exiled Legacy. Finale, fourth Lord unlocked. Finale where all the Lords come together once all Lord tales complete. The Lords/Protagonists are: Quinton. Raynah. Saelamendron. And 'Winter"... A royal knight on patrol. A mercenary swordswoman. A wandering prince... And a mysterious mage. All their journeys will lead them together and to their destinies as recorded in the Book of Exiles. It will feature an original storyline, additional and newly balanced classes, and gameplay. All portraits used will be custom-made, with several new animations and battle sprite reskins. First beta hopefully released in a years time or so. ...and that's the basic outline at the moment. :) ----- [spoiler=GENERAL FAQ] What will be in the Beta/Teaser patch? -Beta patch will include 1 chapter each for the four respective Lords, and an introductory prologue chapter to the world itself. Where do you get your mugs, sprites, etc? -I am a Sprite Artist more so than game designer, and have been since 2006, with a total of at least 4 years of total spriting, design and artwork experience factoring in times in which I stepped back from the hobby... So I would not claim to be the best by any means, but I feel I can do a lil bit of everything somewhat competently. Wow! Character mug A/Battle sprite B/Animation C looks great! Can I use it in my hack or base something off of it? -After having done spriting for so many years and feeling a desire to see my work helpful and actively being used, I would be very flattered if you wanted to utilize some of my stuff. I would ask with the mugs used, that they remain unique to this project, along with the Lord sprites. So please do not use one of my art pieces and call it something else. That said, any of my public domain pieces like non-Lord battle and overworld sprites can be freely used if it is marked Public Domain/Open Source/Free Use. all I would ask for would be a mention/some credit and to be informed of the project/usage. I would love to see what others can come up with! :D Same goes for edits to any of the public domain sprites of mine in this project. Please just let me know, would love to help someone else develop something great! ;) Please note the credits for info on public and private domain artwork used in this Back, as not all works will be mine to share publically without permission of the original creator. You suck, your sprites suck, your story sucks, your jokes suck, why do you suck so much? -Vacuum cleaners. *rimshot* but yeah, that wasn't a question as much as an attack. Hopefully you will be have fun with what I come up with here, if not it you have some suggestions, critique, advice, comments... Go right ahead. I am a big boy, I can handle criticism, as long as it is not turned into some form of personal attack. But I hope you enjoy this work, and would love to hear ways to improve it! :D Cool stuff... Can I help in any way? Sure! Any help, advice, or tweaks with gameplay, hacking, story, sprites would be very much appreciated, and I will make sure to credit you for your assistance. ----- Anyways thanks for reading. Hope you were intrigued. Please lemme know what you think or any comments or questions you may have. As I often say in my spriting thread thank you for any and all feedback! All comments, criticism, critiques, critical thinking, streams of consciousness and cookies are very much appreciated. ;)
  18. Heya. I had an idea for a rom hack. I'm no programmer though, it just came to me and I was wondering what people thought of the idea. Base game: No clue. I suppose this concept may work in some and not in others. Concept: Story: A wicked disease is scourging the land, and no one knows how it is contracted. Whole armies have fallen victim to it. One brave expedition group take it upon themselves to find the root cause... Gameplay: Original: Be prepared to lose units. At the start of each map, a random unit from the roster is permanently "berserked", (cannot be cured of it), and will most likely have to be killed to proceed. I say most likely because if a chokepoint and sturdy unit successfully keep them at bay, the unit will be cured at the end of the map. Of course, that unit still has the chance of contracting the disease again, this malady seemingly cannot be defeated by resistant strains. The random element could lead to your best or worst units being killed, which is horrifying in its own way. EDIT 1: Suggested by Topaz Light: (Makes more sense from an engaging gameplay perspective than relying on random luck) Isn't actually random, but appears to be at first due to its method of spreading being unknown to the player until later on. A very perceptive (or lucky-guessing) player should be able to sort of pick up on it early, but probably not completely figure it out all on their own without extensive experimentation. Is sort of a "normal" ailment or thing that can happen to your characters during gameplay instead of something that's just randomly inflicted at the start of each map. Is gradually explained/learned about over the course of the game, in terms of both its story explanation and how it works in gameplay. Make it so that the player and the expedition team each learn to combat it in unison with each other. Is manually-curable, but not in an immediately-obvious way. It should make sense, of course, but it shouldn't just be a plain ol' "use a Restore staff and presto!" dealio. EDIT 2: Suggested by Eclipse: The disease evolves over time - more status affects can surface other than berserk. Units: Initial thoughts I had was either the Expedition Force is the main and only army thematically, or as another option there are two playable armies: The Expedition Force trying to find a cure, while the Main Army is at war with the antagonists, losing men/women by the day and clinging to the hope that the Expedition Force is successful. Anyways, I was just wondering whether the concept can be implemented, as well as what people think of that kind of story. Cheers :)
  19. A few months ago I had an idea to add the MC from Persona 3 into Fire Emblem 7. I had a perfect image of how he would play in my head. He was like Robin in Awakening. He would have the player's in game name and act on the player's behalf as the leader of the squad just like in the game he was initially from, and he would've used both swords and spells and his spell use animation would be him summoning Orpheus. This all sounded amazing in my head, but I came back down to earth after realizing I don't know anything about rom hacking. I tried messing around with some in game sprites, but that didn't end up working out well. I'm putting this out because I'm hoping that some talented individual or group who loves both franchises will attempt to combine them in anyway. It doesn't have to be simply adding a character, it could be a whole new game that is a TRUE Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem crossover. If anyone is interested please ask around and comment on this!
  20. Any chance someone has created a mod/hack that imports Roy from fe6 into fe8? Roy is one of my favorite characters and i would love to see this sort of minor hack. If something like this already exists I would appreciate a nudge in the right direction. Thanks!
  21. At first, I was afraid of posting this due to reasons, but I cannot keep it to myself any longer. So, in order to do so, I've been studying all the manuals regarding hacks and stuff, as well as spriting and some other things. I want to try doing this hack of mine, even if the progress is going to be so slow (like years slow), but here we are. Fire Emblem: Lords of Shadows The story takes place in the continent of Michelty, in which the entirety of the continent was ruled by a single political entity instead of having independent kingdoms. Thousands of years ago, the continent was united under the rule of King Eriel of House Nightross who was also known as the Shadow King and Hero of Twilight. Under the might of the Shadow King, all the previously-independent kingdoms were conquered and the kings of those kingdoms bent their knees to the Shadow King, abdicating their kingship in return of maintaining their realms as the Highlords and subjects to the authority of the king. For thousands of years, Michelty was ruled by House Nightross, with the Highlords ruling their respective realms as the enforcers of the king's wills. House Nightross brought an era of prosperity throughout the continent, but the peace did not last long as King Veridic, the last of the king of Nightross dynasty, turned insane and started multiple ethnic purges and genocides throughout the continent. In retaliation, several Highlords united under a banner and started a rebellion. Ultimately, the mad King Veridic met his demise and House Nightross was utterly destroyed. One of the Highlords, Jason of House Duskfield, took the throne and became the new king to start a new dynasty after the destruction of House Nightross. Plus, House Duskfield used to be an offshoot of House Nightross, thus making them the descendants of King Eriel, strengthening their claim for the throne. But, not all the members of House Nightross were slaughtered during the rebellion. King Veridic's grandson, Prince Allen, and daughter-in-law, Princess Adelene, survived the rebellion that destroyed their family, thanks to Prince Nero, King Veridic's son and heir, who sacrificed himself in order to safely smuggle both his son and wife out of the capital. Both Prince Allen and Princess Adelene lived in peace in Saeguca Village. The former princess consort discarded her former identity and married a kindly apothecary and priest, and both of them had a daughter named Sella. For fifteen years, Allen and his family lived in peace in the village until a series of events forced him to return to the capital. Will he reclaim his birthright and throne? Will he realize the true purpose of his return? Will he realize that he's not the only lord of the shadows left in the continent? Time will tell. So far, I have planned two chapter, Prologue and Chapter 1. I'm still working on the hacking, so I will post the screenshots soon, but because I'm just an amateur, it'll take a godawful amount of time. Well, I have made the sprites for some major characters, though. So, here are the characters [spoiler=Nero] Nero, Allen's father. He is King Veridic's son and heir. While honorable and kindhearted, he sides with his father during the rebellion due to the insane king being his family. He will be playable during the prologue, which is essentially an escort mission to ensure his wife, Princess Adelene, and son, Prince Allen, escape the castle. Ultimately, he will meet his demise at the end of the prologue after ensuring his wife's and son's safety, at the hands of his own best friend, Lawrence. But before drawing his last breath, he asks for a favor from Lawrence to make sure his family is safe while in hiding, and Lawrence promises to do so. The prince then dies in his best friend's arm, feeling relieved that everything will be alright despite the destruction of House Nightross. As a playable prologue character, Nero's Class is Shadow Lord, which means he wields both swords and dark tomes in combat. He also wields a holy sword, Sanat Kumara, which can fire dark energy beams. He entrusts his son, Allen, with this sword before he meets his end. [spoiler=Allen] Allen, the Lord of the story. He is the grandson of King Veridic, and the son of Prince Nero and Princess Adelene. Despite inheriting his father's kindhearted nature, he is a little brash and cocky in battles, and he considers them to be his embarrassing flaws. Like his father, he greatly cherishes his new family and is willing to kill in order to protect them. He is also quite overprotective to his half-sister, Sella, which sometimes annoys her. Allen's Class is Lord and he wields swords in battles. He also wields his father's holy sword, Sanat Kumara, which was entrusted to him by his father before his death. At some point, he will promote into Shadow Lord, just like his father, which allows him to wield dark tomes. [spoiler=Sella] Sella, Allen's half-sister and the first Cleric. She is outgoing and cheerful, but is often annoyed by her half-brother's overprotective tendency. At the start of the story, she is unaware of Allen's true identity. As for her Class, like stated above, she is a Cleric. [spoiler=Adelene] Adelene, Allen's and Sella's mother. She was Prince Nero's wife and princess consort before the rebellion. After fleeing the capital and hiding in a rural backwater village of Saegusa, she married a priest and had Sella with him. In the story, she will be one of the factors of Allen having to return to the capital. In-game, her Class is Sage. [spoiler=Ennis] Ennis, a mysterious young woman who has been stalking Allen for quite some time. Actually, she is Lawrence's daughter who is sent to monitor both Allen and Adelene due to a few events happening in the capital. A bit blunt and harsh, but she means well. A very honorable person. Loves her father dearly. Her Class is Myrmidon. That will be all for now. More things will come later.
  22. I'm very new when it comes to FE hacking, but I've seen lots of great hacks and amazing things I didn't think was possible for Fire Emblem. I've always been a fan of both Power Rangers and Fire Emblem, so I thought "what if I put the two together?". This could be the worst idea in existance or it could be a fun hack that I can work on in my off time. This concept came from when I first saw the Manaketes use Dragonstones to change into their dragon form. I'm thinking to use that same concept for the Morphers and Battleizers. The only problems are that I have no artistic ability and Power Rangers is set in the modern era. I've already written the story and it can be read here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11927348/1/Mighty-Morphin-Power-Rangers-Season-1, which admittedly could have a major grammar check :P So unless a spriter and map designer are willing to help then this concept won't happen. But on the off chance that someone steps up and is willing to help, I'll be willing to do everything else. My only question is, would you be interested in playing this hack, if it was completed?
  23. This is a hack a friend and I thought about making. We're not out to reinvent the wheel, but we do want to make a game with a compelling story, interesting villains, and more complex lords. Fire Emblem: Relics of Arcadia(Updated: 5/9/2016) “The Lords of old challenged the foul monstrosity that besieged their land. Unfortunately, they succeeded. From its corpse, malice and evil spewed forth. The Lords were swallowed by the inexorable tide. Their relics, drunk on vile blood, became vessels of the creature’s madness. And so the kingdom fell.” The story takes place in what was the kingdom of Arcadia. 100 years ago, Arcadia was a prosperous and unified kingdom, protected by five powerful relics and the lords who wielded them. One day, however, an otherwordly force appeared and started to ravage the land. The lords gathered their army and fought the beast. They succeeded, but in its death the beast spewed forth a corrupting miasma that blanketed the lords and their army. The relics were tainted, and the lords slew each other in madness. With no army nor leader, and much of its center now an inhospitable wasteland, the kingdom descended into lawlessness and fractured. Only two regions, Nearia, the seat of the Church of Awakening, and Oppidorum, who still retained its army through the foresight of its lord, kept hold of a threadbare order. The ensuing fighting elsewhere left most places desolate. Time passed. The Capital and central Arcadia remain inhospitable and fallow. The countryside elsewhere now lives under the fear of bandit lords, who vie for control and demand feudalistic tribute from the solitary villages that survived. Most of them answer to a self-proclaimed “baron,” but others choose to independently maraud. The baron claims to provide “protection” from these rogue groups. The Church remained silent, and far to the South, ambitions for a ‘New Arcadia’ grew in Oppidorum’s new king. All the while, the cursed relics, lost after the tragedy, await their new masters. And their new pawns. So far, we’ve planned out the prologue and chapter 1 in detail, as well as the general flow of the story. We are planning at least three paths, each following a different ‘lord,’ branching at about ⅓ of the way through the story. [spoiler=Characters] So far, we've done the portraits of the main lords and the character recruited at chapter 1, so we'll show them here. [spoiler=Avatar] The avatar of the player in the story. Interested in both studying and recording history. Their encounter with Annette marks the beginning of the tale. Will be playable as a Historian class, which serves as the dancer class of the game. May also have access to dark magic, depending on how balancing works out. [spoiler=Annette] A young girl from a village in Serenica, the lawless part of Arcadia, with a strong sense of justice passed on to her from her father. Her father, who had been a deterrent to the bandits in the past, recently passed away, and her village is considering falling under the influence of the Baron to avoid being overrun by other enemies. She encounters the Avatar as she gathers wood outside the village, beset by the Baron's men. The first 'lord' of the story. Wields Axes. [spoiler=Egil] A self-proclaimed ‘treasure hunter’ and outlaw of the Baron’s that had been a thorn at his side, breaking into his forts and stealing from his men. Encounters the party early on. Has an easygoing persona, but seems to have some sort of connection with the Church of Awakening. The second ‘lord’ of the story. Wields Bows. [spoiler=Ciara] A knight in her early twenties from Oppidorum. She is one of the King’s most trusted soldiers, and she is fiercely loyal to him. She highly values order, and wishes to help expand Oppidorum’s power and unify the land once again. The party comes to Oppidorum during their travels, and she is assigned by the King to accompany them. The third 'lord' of the story. Wields Spears. [spoiler=Jeremiah] A local priest of Annette's village, preaching for the Church of Awakening. Though he had never actually been to the holy city in Nearia in his life, he remains devoted to the teachings of his childhood. He looked up to Annette's father, and followed the party following the events of the prologue. He is of the priest class. [spoiler=Yuria] A girl Jeremiah ran into that was being chased by bandits. Part of Egil's group but was separated after a botched attempt at one of the bases. Timid by nature. [spoiler=Delwick] A mercenary grudgingly under Geldgier's employ. He's a man of few words, and is generally dissatisfied with the status quo. Dispatched along with others in the area to chase after a girl who had been stealing in the south. [spoiler=To Do] There's probably a lot more, but I'm putting the pressing matters down here. All the battle sprites for the lords. Going to try to do these myself like the portraits, but might take a while. I'll focus on Annette's and the Avatar's since they're there for the prologue. Code Prologue events. already in the works. Done. Chapter 2 is in the works now. Figure out how to do branching paths with fe 7 as a base. This is still a ways away, but I want to at least get a head start now, since it is crucial. Alternatively, I could always code 3 different versions of the hack, if this turns out to be impossible. Get Music. I'll defer this to my friend, since I'll have my hands full with the sprites and coding. Clean up Sprites and Battle Sprites. Yeah, avatar's [spoiler=Current Version] Relics of Arcadia demo ver. 0.2 Features: -Playable prologue and chapter 1, with custom maps and events. -5 characters (so far). Planned/Unimplimented: -Chapter 2 in the works for the coming month. -Supports. Still the base fe7 supports, may incrementally ammend these as we go. -Implement some sort of end-of-demo chapter so it doesn't awkwardly move on to the next chapter of the base game. [spoiler=screenshots] [spoiler=Credits] matrix_001, who kept me grounded with the story and planning. Arch for his eventing tutorials. Nintenlord for his tools. All of you for reading and trying out the patch. That's it for the time being. I'll keep updating this with new progress as they occur. If you have any comments/suggestions/criticism, feel free to post it here. I'm still learning through all this, and there's always room to improve.
  24. Hi, I'm requesting active participation for the story in this link: http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=63004 I'm working on polishing my story and I need your help in making it beautiful.
  25. I have been making a story concept in mind that I hope to pass to IntSys. However, it seems improbable so, for the first time, I'm sharing my incomplete story. I'll be needing your help in polishing the story but I don't want it to be too far from the plot outline I've made. You can post your feedback here: http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showforum=35 So, here's the map description I suck at making maps: Our first hero lives in a southern archipelago akin to South East Asia, and it is the trade capital of the continent. The main land has at least four known nations, two of which are the archipelago's biggest trade partners: East of the Great Wall is a martial arts country named Juiyo inspired by East Asia (3 kingdoms China, warring states Japan, and Korea); West of the Great Wall is a romance and arts country named Gemran inspired by west Europe (Spain, Portugal, UK, Ireland, and France). The religious center of the continent is Yeshuo inspired by the Mediterranean Countries, here lies the Temple of the Dragon King (while a temple is there, the real temple is the people). [spoiler=The Fourth Nation] As for the other nation, they are at the back seat for now Part One (the Rose Guild) The Prologue may start at the training section: Sheena Jade Rosas Daughter of Senator Kin and Chef Josephine . She is a very charitable salesperson and talented sword fighter. She wishes to establish trade networks in the continent for the benefit of the people. Class: Apprentice Well, she will be training with her father Kin Rosas (currently a very popular Senator) Watching from the sidelines: Ghin Rosas The hot blooded brother of Sheena, despite his efforts to train with swords he doesn't seem to handle it as good as throwing axes. He shows of the most often. Class: Journeyman Then followed by a scene in their mother's restaurant where Bandits attack. Here joins: during battle Shmuel Habagat A fresh graduate of law enforcement. His family is close to the Rosas. He speaks very little unless necessary. class: Archer lv 10 (yes overleveled) After battle (I haven't polished the story yet) Anika Amihan A mage from a family of apothecaries. She is usually snarky and mean but is surprisingly sweet to her good friends. Class: (Wind) Mage Genny Bianca Best friend of Sheena. A novice preacher. She is exceptionally knowledgeable of the Scriptures and seems to know better than present priests. Class: Cleric/Deaconess Andy Narra A shy inventor from a family of blacksmiths. He keeps a book of drawings of his designs for future inventions. Class: a unique crossbow class And they formed the Rose Merchants and set off to an adventure. Why? Well, Sheena's mother, Chef Josephine wanted to cook a rare dish she hasn't cooked in a long time. It requires a rare ingredient form an outlying island. Yeah, a silly plot device I will update the story time after time. Country names by Hylian Air Force
