This is a small hack for the old game Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War. You can apply the patch FE4 Real Survival Mode.ips to a clean FE4 rom with header. In this hack, all of the units/characters/enemies only have 1 HP, whoever gets hit first will die. Ambush always actives, so Arden/Lex/Johan/Hannibal will have a chance to kill their enemies beforehand. Casual Mode added, unit dies in previous chapter can still fight in the next chapter, except for Sigurd/Celice/Cuan/Ethlyn/Fin. FE4 Real Survival Mode.zip

Looks like Sigurd took down Noish, but can he take down Alec? It's up to you!

Welcome to the FE4 poll! Whoever wins this entire poll will move on to face off against the favorites from the other games! To start, we have Sigurd and Noish and who wins is up to you!

Heya guys so there has been a question that has been bugging me for the longest legendary weapons the Fire Emblem series as a whole is filled with many of them. But Then when Fire Emblem:Genealogy of the Holy War came along it seemed like legendary weapons went through a major change that change being they are all very powerful with all of them having 30 Might and either +10 or +20 stat boosts. But after Tharcia 776 that was the last time we saw truly epic legendary weapons. My question is how did you guys feel about them? And would you like to see that come back? For me the answer is yes of all the FE games I feel Genealogy of the Holy War and to an extent Thracia 776 (cause Holsety) handled them best. It feels like in later Fire Emblem games the legendary weapons became...pointless they are way too weak like in the games canon they are said to be powerful but when you get them they are weak as heck. Take FE7 for example Athos his Fortblaze I get it after all the hyping up was put into it and stat wise it isn`t that impressive the other weapons on that very same chapter overpower it easily or heck a weaker tome like Elfire can work just as affective as it does. Sword of Seals I`ll cut the weapons some slack as I believe it was mentioned in game that due to the weapons by then being so old they are weaker than they were when they were first used so I`ll let those ones slide (because canonically they were supposed to be weaker.) But other ones they seemed well ehh..pretty underwhelming. When i play FE4 everytime I get one of the weapons and the epic glow starts up I always get the feeling of excitement and their power canon wise and stats wise both show in game they truly felt powerful and worth using them like I wouldn`t opt for using a silver sword over say the Mistletainn of given the choice. Or get the weapons and just dump them into storage never to be used no I wanted to use them. And they really felt legendary when used when I see a holy weapon in FE4 or FE5 (Holsety) I am like holy crap! ''input name'' or I am actually afraid of the unit that uses it. remember when Eltshan popped up on the battlefield to fight you? When he and his knights came out I was legit scared as heck because I knew he was a true threat with that sword of his. I know it is possible to kill him still but man is it gonna be a rough fight or Ishtar coming along with Thor Hammer I dread fighting her everytime because she is dang fearsome with the tome that barely ever misses not even Holsety is saving ya. So I miss that feeling they once gave of truly ultimate weapons. It felt great getting them and it was truly scary when you had to fight against them. A few weapons do come close though Lyon`s Naglfar tome if I am not mistaken had a nice big fat 25 Might on it but it lacked the stat boost ups. I think the Demon Kings weapons kinda mirrored weapons from FE4 and FE5 Demon Light gave a few +10`s I think but lacked the power Naglfar was still stronger attack wise. So ya what do you guys think? Did they feel too OP for you? Or were they just right with that setup where you wouldn`t just pick a silver sword or something over that weapon and have it be just as affective in use. I saw in Fire Emblem Awakening said weapons did return but they were only there in name only :( they got badly nerfed stat wise seems like we won`t ever experience grand weapons ever again anytime soon. Atleast there are no legendary weapons as weak as Falchion though the blade that was made out to be so mighty but when you get it only 10 might on that thing...pretty upsetting that a silver sword once more is better.

Alright so I noticed Itsuki got a few regalia that were Spotpass regalia in Awakening. I kind of wrote it off at the time as being technically an Awakening reference since those regalia appeared in awakening. then I noticed Itsuki gets ahold of Durandal, and I somewhat flipped my shit since Durandal doesn't appear in FE13. Also noticed Florete from FE10. So, in total, what regalia or personal weapons does Itsuki get overall from across the franchise? There looks like quite a few references to Jugdral, Elibe, and Tellius were put into the Carnage Weapon lineup. if any of the other cast get regalia, I'd like to know that too if that's not too much trouble Also I don't know if this should be a different topic, but how am I supposed to get ahold of True Falchion? (interested since it's clearly Marth's Falchion and, well, ending spoilers)

After many corrupted saves, I was able to return peace to Judgral. This game made many changes, like Gaiden. Larger maps, organized formations, weapon triangle, a two generation split, etc. I used to not really like this game when I played it awhile back, and was alarmed by how large the maps were. This game has aged quite well and sure, it can be a bit of a snore, but the battles felt more realistic and interesting. This game has my favorite FE story. While FE3 made things more interesting and had way better world building than FE1 and Gaiden, FE4 blows it out of the ballpark. Characters get more development, it spans two generations, mature themes, shocking plot twists, etc. This game handles arenas, promotions, and item management very well. One of the more interesting factors of this game is the love system, which can affect the kids in the second generation, giving great replay value. It's so satisfying to train and promote your units, and just looking at their awesome sprites *cough* Paladin *cough* (I trained Alec just for that sprite. Good thing, since his strength got to 22) I understand why this game is praised so much. I've had a lot of enjoyment playing this game. I might consider replaying FE3 again, since it is still my favorite in the series.

Started working on a personal pairing guide to accommodate for growths, inheritance and story talks for every combination possible in Genealogy of the Holy War. It has now become so complex that I'd like to share it for general usage. It is still very much a work in progress, so I'd be interested in hearing what you have to say about how it could be streamlined and improved upon if you have the time. Link here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9H3x-jIxRxpLVJWR3ZzY3JiVlU/view?usp=sharing Spreadsheet is split up into Holy Blood bonuses, skills, weapons, special talks/items/stat boosts, royal lineage and overall potential. In particular I'm looking for a way to incorporate weapon rank changes between fathers and combined child growth rates (w/o Holy Blood), while still making the spreadsheet user friendly. Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing what you think!

Hi, my first time on this forum. I decided to give Genology of the Holy war another chance after Sigurd being anounced for Fire Emblem Heroes. Looking at Sigurd's weapons, he has a Iron sword stronger than a steel sword. I checked the weapons in this site, and noticed they have diferent stats. Are his starting swords forged or something? Or maybe just a translate error? Steel sword Acc 80 Mgt 10 Rng 1~1 Wgt 3 Iron sword Acc 80 Mgt 12 Rng 1~1 Wgt 12

So, after looking through the full results of the Fire Emblem Heroes poll results, I found of a lot of unique placements of the FE4(Ishtar scored more than most of the cast. Which is interesting.) and 5 characters(Carrion and Olwen scored absurdly high compared to the rest of the FE5 cast.). Also, some characters I thought would score higher than others didn't.(I think Dew scored higher than Lewyn.) SO I have decided to see where the cast lies since so many of the placements were surprising to me. Vote for your Favorite Female Characters in Fire Emblem 4!

Would the Love/Jealousy System be replaced by the Support System?

I've spent the whole night searching for an easy method to get better level up stats for FE4. The closest method I can find is using Lua Scripts in TAS video to get the next 16 RNs here: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13270&highlight= Even though I've successfully installed the script in my emulator, I don't know how to interpret those 16 RNs and what they represent. I really appreciate if anyone who has experienced in Lua Script can explain or point me to correct method. Thank you.

I'm playing through FE4 (Project Naga translation), and I'm currently on chapter 5. For some reason about half way through the chapter my game suddenly stopped showing the movement grid and attack range for all characters. I have no idea what caused this and it's quite a big hindrance to the gameplay. Anyone know what caused this and how to fix it? (Gif attached is an example of the glitch.)

Since Manfroy captures her in chapter 10, would it be wise to have her promoted before chapter 10 or wait until after she's been re-recruited in the final chapter?

Sadly, I've never played this game all the way through since the big maps are pretty intimidating (as well as all the changed mechanics from FE3). Anything I should know before going in? I know the basic gist of the story and mechanics, but only a few specifics. Might as well try it again with Project Naga released! Thracia 776 is the only game in the series I haven't even touched, and I'm super interested in that one. I'm going to wait until I play FE4, though.

What are the best Gen 2 pairings you can make in FE 4? I know they don't have two many benefits except for stat boosts. So is it possible to pair everyone to all members of the army get a stat boost? If so, how? Or just tell me some pairings you found were useful.

So yeah, I'd like to get my hands on those FE4 figurines and add them to my neat little collection of nerdy junk I have. However all I ever see on Ebay or Amazon are boxed sets which I know for a fact aren't all six figures, its six RANDOM figures. I could get a box of all Sigurds for pete's sake. So, anyone know anyone/where to just sell the figures individually? They got for about 10 USD a pop which isn't terrible imo, its just a matter of finding the damn things so I don't get needless dupes.

Okay, so I have some questions regarding FE4 hacking, and some of them might be noob-ish, but anyway... 1- How can you make so that enemy-only weapons are droppable from an enemy? How could I add one into any unit's starting inventory? 2- How can I change the portrait of x character into y's portrait? (For example, giving Alvis's portrait to Sigurd's unit) 3- Is there a way to make so that sword skills can be used by any class and any weapon type? I think that's it for now, thanks in advance! ^^

Since when can you beat an arena with zero HP? Also what happened: Ulster used sol (Dew's son). But he didn't absorb enough HP to take another hit. The swordmaster hit him fatally... but despite having no HP this fight still continues. Does anyone know about this glitch? Or is there a hidden skill activated... I'm not aware of?

I've heard there was a glitch that allowed Seliph and Daisy to instantly fall in love but I can't really find any information on it. Does anyone here know anything about it?

I have a few questions concerning inheritance overall in FE4- namely, how it works in general because I have no clue, but specifically I'm wondering about 4 characters specifically: Deirdre, Finn (Should I decide to pair him up), Quan, and Ethlyn. I'm wondering if items are inherited from Deirdre by Julia, or if I should sell all of Deirdre's items before she leaves so as not to waste them. I'm also wondering how Inheritance will affect Finn in the second generation if I end up pairing him off, since my main hesitation with pairing him with Aideen over Midir is Finn himself being affected by inheritance, making Finn a unique case compared to other units. All of these units leave early on top of all of that, so is there anything specific I need to make sure of to trigger their inheritances or do they automatically pass items down when they leave? Finally, does Inheritance pass down all items or just specific ones? How does it work in general? I'm on Chapter 2 and before I proceed further I wanted to arm myself with knowledge so I don't screw up my pairings I spent 4 hours making. If it makes any difference, here's the pairings I have set up: Finn/Midir + Aideen (It depends on how inheritance effects Finn if I'm going to decide on using Finn or Midir in the end) Noish + Ayra Beowolf + Raquesis (Non negotiable) Claude + Sylvia (non negotiable because of Cairpre and the Valkyrie Staff) Lewyn + Erin (Non negotiable) Azel + Taillte Dew + Bridget (Very close to non negotiable because of Patty)

Feel free to also use this thread to discuss and speculate what you think we'll see (or what you would like to see) in the new series.

Since FE4 has a new translation lately and we can finally enjoy the epilogue and see the units' stats and credits, we decided to do a LP of this game. This will be a normal playthrough. If someone should die (which will be the case most likely for me at least since I suck in FE), we will reset because we want to have a good second generation. The target is to have fun and to see all the characters' ending in English language. After each seized castle we'll change. Sophie will decide about the pairings.

FE4 has many name charts. However, they tend to list only two lists of names and no more. This chart I made compares every translation patch released that I know of, along with all the FAQs on GameFAQs. It can be used as a point of reference to see when names were introduced or when older names fell out of use. http://mediafire.com/file/yft8d8z8aunw83c/Darrman&27s+Fancy+Name+Chart+Thing.xls
