So people like to debate who's the best pairing for so and so, but I was wondering what would be the absolute worst pairing set-up you could possibly do (but still pair everyone up) Thus far, my thoughts are: Lachesis/Arden Edain/Holyn Ayra/Claud Sylvia/Naoise Erinys/Beowulf Tailtiu/Jamke Brigid/Lewyn Sylvia/Finn would also be pretty bad pairing too, if only because how difficult it would be to get (but I'm ranking these more on stats/abilities)

Edit: And the run is completed. 7 Turns faster than the old Nico playthrough. If you want to see the whole playlist here is a link: Original OP:

So recently I purchased the Fire Emblem Memorial Book for the Archanean FE games, containing a nice collection of Art and information, and wanted to know if one such book exists for the Jugdral games?

I've been looking all over, and I can't find them anywhere. Can anyone tell me where to find them?

Hi everyone, This is a version of eventiel for FE4, based on the old eventiel. It helps you to get the visual when you want to see all units in their positions for your hack. It does not mean to work with other FE4 hacking tool, at least for now since none of them is compatible. Just download the zip file, unzip it and use it locally. https://www.dropbox.com/s/l66q3w74sssb51r/eventiel_fe4.zip?dl=0

So I remember stumbling upon a big thing once with (at least) the first gen and I believe second gen as GBA mugs. Unfortunately, I no longer can find it when the time calls for me to need it. I remember it having an A+++ Reptor. And I also need a really good Hannibal. Could anyone give me pointers to a good Hannibal and Reptor? I also could really use Pahn.

One of my computer's hard drives corrupted taking many things including my save file for FE4. I really want to play FE4 but I don't want to play through the prologue and first 2 chapters again. I would appreciate it if someone would pass me a chapter 3 save file. Thanks in advance.

If you are one of those special people that managed to buy an NES Classic this past year, then I have some good news for you. In the past few months, applications like Hakchi and RetroArch allow us to put any NES, SNES, GBA, and many more onto our NES. Now it is possible to play Fire Emblem 1 all the way through to 8 on your television. Of course you can always play emulations on your computer, but I've always enjoyed playing NES and SNES on the big screen. The menu music now is the 8 bit FE theme song. I'm thinking about making an entire FE theme for the NES Classic. I hope this thread inspires someone else with a mini to download the FE titles. This tutorial is not mine, but it is the best one out there right now. NOTICE*- The GBA games (FE6, FE7, FE8) require a Wii Pro Controler if you would like to enjoy the full experience. It is still possible to play them, but the NES controller does not have bumpers.

So I've been looking at some of the characters from Thracia 776 and I've noticed some characters look oddly familiar. And looking at their designs, backgrounds, and personalities, there are quite a few parallels. So here we go. Creidne/Radney & Machyua Laylea & Lara Hermina & Karin Tristan & Carrion Linda & Miranda Bonus: Jeanne and Tanya have similar facial features and accessories. And Shannam is literally a Shannan impersonator.

I've been trying to do an edited playthrough of FE4 for fun, and everything's gone well so far except for the fact I've changed both Sigurd and Seliph into alternative classes (Sage and Mage), and as a result they can't sieze castles unless I do something. None of the Nightmare modules I use allow me to mess with it, and though I've seen the solution through Hex editing in Lamia's FE4 hacking thread, the Hex editor I'm using doesn't go far enough to reach that address, so I feel like I'm missing something. If somebody could direct me to the necessary tool or even just a patch to make it tied to their character ID instead of class then I'd appreciate it.

Below I have compiled a list of almost all the etymologies of the person/place/weapon names that are in Genealogy of the Holy War. I would like to point out that I came up with the majority of these etymologies myself but I did not shy away from checking my findings with other sources such as the two Fire Emblem Wikis and some Serenes Forest posts as well. With that out of the way I would like to point out how well researched and inspired this, and by extension all other Fire Emblem games, are in terms of the names used for people/places/objects. Genealogy of the Holy War seems to draw extensively from Norse and Celtic/Irish mythology, and the use of some lesser known names is even more astounding. As a note, the list is not totally complete and it would be great if some of you well informed fans can fill in some of the remaining blanks for the names I have listed.

I'm playing through chapter 2 of Fe4 and I've tried about three times (not a lot, I know) to defeat all the Heirhein soldiers around Lachesis' castle before they kill Yves. I've failed each time. I know you can get the Knight Ring from her at the end if all three knights are still alive, but I'm not sure how I can keep that one from dying! It looks like a great item, but is it worth it? I'm tempted to reset in any event, but still.

I'm hacking fe4 using nightmare and I'm trying to make Eldigan/Eltshan drop his Mystletainn when defeated. The problem is if someone other than Raquesis/Lachesis (who I gave major Hezul holy blood) kills Eldigan/Eltshan, I can't sell the Mystletainn and it is stuck in their inventory. Is there any way I can make holy weapons sellable? I know its possible seeing Mangs' FE4 PM. I would really appreciate it if someone told me how to do it. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to more FE4 (and eventually FE5) manga translations! This time, Anthologies and 4Komas! How this is going to be set up: I'm working on these one at a time per book (choosing each new book at random), so each story will be zipped by itself. The file names will end after their page count with the abbreviations of their respective title, so if you plan to dump them all in the same folder, you'll still see where each new story begins and ends. Folders are numbered by the number story before the title so they stay in order and don't end up auto sorted by name and out of book order. Once we complete a book, they'll all be zipped together, and until then individually uploaded. Some of these are utter crack and just silly nonsense, others are completely (or mostly) serious stories, and some are a bit of both - so expect a little bit of everything! Enix Supercomic Gekijoh Vol. 7: My Personal Guardian (Noish/Aira) To Rally Courage (Sylvia centric, implied Alec/Sylvia) Please let us know of any mistakes so they can be fixed!

So, that's it. The other day I was asking help to start FE4( I finished, and loved it) and now I want it for FE5. First of all, what's the best translation for FE5? And where can I get it? I am asking this because I played FE4 and it wasn't project Naga...ended up with a untranslated ending and bad translated weapon names. Any tips for someone who just beat Geneology of the Holy war to get into this game? I have read a lot about it already, the inifinite range staffs are scaring me... Anyway, I have already beaten Radiant Dawn, wich is probably the most complex game of the series( and probably the second hardest, Thracia 776 considered the first one), so I am not too scared. Any tips to get into, what should I do, when should I save, what I should NEVER do, would be apreciated.

I'm working on this hack to allow same-sex couples in FE4 (I've posted about this elsewhere) and I'm experimenting around with it, and I'm trying to find more addresses for children and inheritance and that sort of thing. I was wondering what other people know so I know where to start (or where not to look, rather) or if there's a better, more complete rom map out there.

Hello all. I've seen several different pairing guides for FE4, but never one that held all the information I believed was relevant at once. To that end, I've made my own personal pairing guide and would like to share it with you all. Enjoy. Please let me know if there's something anyone feels could be improved. Also, I use the official NOA names. Genealogy of the Holy War.docx

Hi everyone! I am trying to make so that classes previously locked to one-weapon type can now wield multiple weapons, thanks to the ''Battle Sprite Editor'' Nightmare module. In this instance, I want to make so that Bow Knights can use swords. Thing is, I don't really know how I could add a animation slot to insert a Bow Knight Sword animation (which will be just a Paladin's Sword animation), since I know that you need to have all animations for one class held together. So how can I get around this?

So, I just finished FE4 a couple weeks ago and after beating a few other games, want to play again. So, I am letting the good people on SF choose my pairings. This will be a no sub run(obviously), and the way pairings will be decided is first come first serve, unless a pairing is being asked for repeatedly. You can recommend pairings being as nice or as mean as possible and I will have to except them no matter what(example would be like Lewyn x Tailtu being a good pairing and something like Lewyn x Ayra being a bad one.) Only 1 pairing request per person. Also, these pairings are off-limits Midir x Edain Holyn x Ayra Noish x Raquesis Claude x Sylvia Lewyn x Erinys Azel x Tailtiu Dew x Brigid These are the pairings I did my first playthrough and would not want to do them again. Also Arden may not be paired with anyone as of now, since he died.

ok, I finished the game for the first time( amazing game). but the ending got this weird text( probably because of translation maybe?) afer seizing the final castle and then froze on this screen. Is it a bug or maybe it was a translation bug?

Sick of names being changed? Here's a patch that reverts everything back to the traditional FE4 names. Join Sigurd on his old-fashioned stomp! The dialogue might be a bit messed up, but that's nothing important. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qb77w9xps6qtax1/fe4v25.zip?dl=0

So this is really about something I read recently on Julia's wiki page saying she could technically fall in love with any guy (not including Seliph) by standing next to him for 100 turns. Is this really a thing? As someone who's wanted Julia and Ares together as badly as I have, this got me pretty excited. Could anyone confirm this works for me? And would it technically work for Altena too? Note: Game Genie and other forms of codes aren't going to work here as I have the game's rom in a repro cart I play on my SNES (not via emulator). I tried that and all I got was an ironic anti-piracy screen.

Hello there! So I've decided to start a series of polls to truly understand how good/bad people on this board think units are in FE4. Well, gotta have some stupid rules first: - Only numerical votes on a understandable scale, please. - Don't forget to at least briefly justify why a unit kicks/sucks ass! - You may give the unit a +/- 0.5 bias, but only if you give a reason for it (even if it's only for Alec's turban, for example) - Correct me if I did some mistakes on this topic or future ones. I do a lot of them honestly :P - Most of all, have fun debating! ^^ Results GEN 1 1- Sigurd = 9 99/10 (17 votes) 2- Noish = 5.31/10 (20 votes) 3- Alec = 5.89/10 (19 votes) 4- Ardan = 2.04/10 (18 votes) 5- Lex = 7.60/10 (20 votes) 6- Azel = 4.65/10 (22 votes) 7- Cuan = 8.14/10 (21 votes) 8- Ethlyn = 8.77/10 (18 votes) 9- Finn = 8.30/10 (18 votes) 10- Midayle = 6.91/10 (19 votes) 11- Ayra = 5.94/10 (22 votes) 12- Dew = 6.11/10 (19 votes) 13- Adean = 6.65/10 (16 votes) 14- Jamke = 5.57/10 (17 votes) 15- Deirdre = 1.89/10 (17 votes) 16- Holyn = 5.53/10 (19 votes) 17- Lachesis = 6.71/10 (19 votes) 18- Beowulf = 5.32/10 (18 votes) 19- Lewyn/Levin = 7.15/10 (20 votes) 20- Sylvia = 7.95/10 (27 votes) 21- Erin = 7.42/10 (19 votes) 22- Taillte = 3.82/10 (19 votes) 23- Briggid = 5.5/10 (16 votes) 24- Claude = 5.47/10 (16 votes) GEN 2 1- Seliph = 9.36/10 (18 votes) 2- Oifaye = 7.65/10 (17 votes) 3- Julia = 4.86/10 (18 votes) 4- Johan = 4.63/10 (16 votes) 5- Johalva = 3.53/10 (16 votes) 6- Shanan = 7.06/10 (18 votes) 7- Leif = 8.73/10 (20 votes) 8- Ares = 8.62/10 (17 votes) 9- Altenna = 5.27/10 (17 votes) 10- Hannibal = 1.66/10 (16 votes) So, I have no choice but to start with the main Lord himself, Sigurd! Class: Lord Knight (Level 5) Holy Blood: Major Baldur Personal Skills: Pursuit Class Skills: None Stats: 35 HP (110%) 14 Strength (50%) 0 Magic (5%) 11 Skill (50%) 12 Speed (30%) 9 Defense (40%) 3 Resistance (5%) 7 Luck (40%) My thoughts: Like pretty much every FE4 player, I think Sigurd is by far the best lord to ever have existed in the franchise! He has great bases, good growths, is mounted in FE4, has the most important skill (Pursuit) and can use any sword ever - which includes the Tyrfing and its godly stats bonuses - as well as most lances, if you care. And let's not forget his incredible Silver Sword that he will receive in the Prologue chapter! So yeah, I'll give him a 9.5/10, cause his Resistance still sucks without the Tyrfing, but since I have a bias for him, it translates into a massive 10/10! Let's get the show started! ^^

This is a small tool help you to preview the character portrait without needing to import it into the FE4 rom. Just open the Preview.html and select your portraits, I've included some samples. Preview.zip

Despite not being a useful character, he has an infinite amount of memes. Anyway, Sigurd or Arden? It's up to you!
