I would like to preface that this is very early as a concept, I'd just like to hear people's opinions on my idea so far. Firstly, I wanna say that I've never hacked FE8 before, but I know it's considered the better choice, so I'm going to learn. Brief synopysis: The story is about an ever-changing world beginning in the centre of the largest continent; the country Umēra, a young country home to many poor and unfortunate people which is about to face a major crisis that will put its existence on the line. The high ranking political powers are making their move, military might is being strengthened across the land. The condemned country is on a time limit. A strange array of characters will soon accumulate from the cracks and upper echelons of society - to save the country, or to save themselves? The story primarily follows a merchant by the name of Leith with a very broad past surrounding many important people, a mysterious and magical girl Rin with the heart of a pacifist who uses a flute as a weapon, a "resigned" soldier named Nyoman, an isolated young prodigy alchemist/mage Kody and a shut-in princess with aspirations to become a professional fencer named Thuraia. There're plenty of other characters, but I thought I'd mention the characters that represent the most diversity. Progress: well... I've written the first two chapters' dialogue. I'm also working on the maps for first two chapters - both gameplay and cutscene chapters. Hacking capabilities: I'm capable of mapping, basic splicing (though I'll probably just use NICKT's skin pack or FE7/8 characters), writing music and I learned basic scripting a while back. I reckon I could pick it up again with some practice. Obligatory list of features to likely expect: - 4-5 part story (Similar to Radiant Dawn, though probably not as long) - Some new classes (down the road, placeholders will be used for the time being) - New music (possibly some written by myself) - 25-30 characters - I'm hoping to write more of a character driven story, so less emphasis on army rosters. - Hopefully a unique story with characters archetypes not yet touched upon heavily (within the FE fanbase) - A substantial timeskip within the story (I've already planned where it will roughly take place) If you think I should give more information, I will add more on the characters and the world they hail from. I'll probably update this later regardless cause I've probably missed a few things.
