The goal of this hack is to minimize RNG as much as possible and revamp the gameplay so that it matches the stakes set by the narrative. I don't know about you, but I wasn't very scared fighting ragtag level 3 units at Lord Lundgren's doorstep. This hack doesn't attempt to change the story, events or maps of FE7, only the gameplay (due to the lovely traumatic experience I had trying to make my own purely custom hack years ago...). That basically means I've modified unit stats, item stats, enemies and their formation on each map. RNGless methodology: 1. Hit rate is always 100%. 2. Crit rate is always 0%, unless you're using special weapons which give 100% crit. 3. Growth rates are 100% for HP, 0% for all other stats. Leveling up is the only way to increase HP. Promoting and using stat boosting items are the only ways of increasing the other stats. 4. Equipped weapons now give a certain amount of Def and Res in addition to standard properties (though all item's stats have been rebalanced). This hack expects you to have a solid understanding of original mechanics, such as how your attack speed is affected by your weapon's weight and your constitution. All the chapters are beatable without save states. Especially the prologue. If you ever get stuck, just think about what weapons you have, the bonuses they give you, the weapons the enemies have, the bonuses they give them, and how you can manipulate that to your advantage. Then think about cheesecake. v1.00 RNGless Fire Emblem 7 100% of Lyn's story modified. Plus the first chapter of Eliwood's Story because "why not?" https://www.dropbox.com/s/p6xyj4019kn279s/v1.00%20RNGless%20Fire%20Emblem.ups?dl=0 I made this using Nightmare 2.0, so special thanks to all involved in that software's creation. This was only playtested by my brother and myself, so I'd appreciate any feedback and constructive criticism. I plan to modify all the gameplay of Eliwood's story if Lyn's story is received well. I also plan on reliving the joys of soul-crushing defeat by trying to make my own completely custom hack someday that uses this RNGless system.
