nabvfgsyeahuwdefgfue7huiwr Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I was wondering if anyone has any good FE GBA patches that are finished, since I would like to check out how much progress has been made on them since I last checked (it was a while ago and I need to be brought up to speed). Some of them I'm not sure if they were completed, are still in progress, or what (I can't seem to find out about FE dream of five either).

Jubby Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) http://serenesforest...showtopic=24662 Dream of Five is in progress, they're still working on it. Another super popular one is Elibian Nights, which Arch is working on right now, I think it's pretty complete even as is now though. There's also Tactics Universe by Blazer (Or Strawhat Luffy as he goes by here) Aaaaaaaaand MK404's working on A Sacred Dawn DX. These are pretty much the most exciting hacks here, for me, anyway :P Ahhh I edited to add more stuff and then Celice ninja'd me.

Celice Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) FE7if (inflation) is... I think finished. They just keep adding new stuff to it all the damn time :P It's not in English though :E Will of Good and Evil is also finished but in Chinese. FE8_Girls is also finished (for the most part) and even includes English translations for the menus and stuff, or so I've heard! Since you've said you've looked around before, I'm sure you've picked up the GhebFE and those other ones that were around. The only other English hacks I can think of that are newish would be Tactics Universe and Elibian Nights. I don't know if either of those are finished, however. EDIT: Oh yeah, MageKnight's hack is also complete, I think. I forgot about that one (thanks Jubby :3 ) Edited December 20, 2011 by Celice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deranger Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Complete is very subjective, in that every hack can be improved. The ones listed above have significant progress as well as playable patches out, and I'd add decay of the fang to that list.Also, play FE7x. Just look through the Rom Hacking topics, particularly the most recently posted in ones. League of Champions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubby Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) By "complete" I think he means that the creator's released a final patch with no more intentions to improve anything other than perhaps bug fixes. If we're gonna get technical. And yeah, I forgot FE7x (Haven't played DotF yet) And @Celice, the FE7 hack is complete, and then I think he has an incomplete patch from the old ASD thread :P I'm not sure if there's one for the new one yet, and you're welcome :D Edited December 20, 2011 by Jubby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deranger Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 To me, I don't know why you would ever want a complete hack over a playable good one, though I haven't played any older "completed" hacks because none of them are event hacks. I find the most enjoyable hacks have to include eventing, which is pretty recent, and also means that most of them are still being improved. More event hacks: Krad's FE forever, Prime's Road to Ruin, SL's FE6 remake (sorta), which I can't find a patch for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubby Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I think he was asking if there were any complete hacks like DoF, i.e. with custom events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deranger Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 That'd be an event hack. I read completed as finished. Ironically, I don't know of any completed event hacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Kitty Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I think he was asking if there were any complete hacks like DoF, i.e. with custom events. derp it's been restarted if you weren't aware, and wasn't complete. IIRC there are no completed custom-event hacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubby Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) I meant hacks like DoF, i.e. custom events, graphics, but complete. And I know it's been restarted. Edited December 20, 2011 by Jubby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's exactly what I meant. I was looking for patches that are functional, final, and have no major bugs. I am more interested in the patches that have the most custom aspects (events, portraits, animations, maps, etc). Yes, I have picked up GhebFE and had an old version of Tactics Universe at one point (glad to see it's been updated). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deranger Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) If you're only gonna play "completed hacks", you'll be waiting a long time, possibly forever, and be missing out on a lot of good stuff.

Celice Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 There's four mentioned so far in this thread. IIRC there are no completed custom-event hacks. Iggy did a short example one back in... '06-'07 if memory serves. Keyword being 'short.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Red Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 The only completed custom event hacks you'll find are the short ones. Some incomplete ones have been mentioned, but there are few longer custom event hacks. I remember a hack by... urgh, I think Blademaster? Corrupt Theocracy? I'm not sure if that was custom or not, but it's worth checking out. I'd look at the most recent page of hacks too and read that though there aren't many complete ones. As for completed custom event hacks, here's a quick list: Eliwood vs. Everyone by Pukachi Pukachi's other FE7 hack that I can't remember the name of Fire Emblem: Shining Armor by Blazer Fire Emblem: Prisoner of Darkness " " Fire Emblem: Sacred Contention by Team Justice Matthew's Nightmare by Cedar Nyx Other ragefest hacks that I for whatever reason can't remember the name of--try checking the Ragefest contest threads for more information, I'd like to think they'd have links to the entries or something so people can play them. Though by rule ragefest hacks are supposed to be very hard, and 1 chapter, though another rule is that they need to have custom events, which is what you're looking for. I can't guarantee that the characters won't be reused or anything though. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Yuri's Sidestory by Mageknight404 Warning: Contains references to EMIT that you probably won't get. If that's the case go watch his little quickplay thing. It's a pretty short game considering how it's supposed to teach Japanese ---> English and English ---> Japanese. And you just HAD to include Sakura Kinomoto there too didn't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryrumeli Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Yet again it seems a single directory with a list of links to patches like this would have spared the need for this question and more that will come in time, and help the community as a whole. And if you ask me, in a honest fashion, if your goal is to see what has been accomplished with FE hacking then I do not think that playing just completed patches will give you an idea of what we can do today; There is no completed patch available in the american FE hacking community which shows really what can be done with our current knowledge of romhacking. Call it a bet if you may, but I can say it in a comfortable way that the best FE hacks most likely than not will be coming from now on. So your better shot at seeing what can be done is checking the most active topics in this section, instead of the completed patches. That, of course, is my personal opinion on the matter. Also, is the reason you asked this the fact you don't like to play unfinished hacks, and would rather to wait them to be completed before playing them? While I can understand it, I agree with Deranger in that you will be missing on a ton of experiences if you keep on looking for just completed projects. While there is still free space in my rom I know I would never call my game completed honestly. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a topic directory, or even a projects section (which would remove all the clutter) would have sufficed. Basically anything that makes looking for patches less work. although, a working link to SL's FE6 remake would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I shouldn't have assumed that the best quality patches were the completed ones and that the completed ones best represent the hacking community. If I do play through a hack though, it will probably be a completed one just for convenience.

Celice Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 There's also several completed hacks for the older games before the GBA. And a few difficulty patches for all the games are also complete, though, they're not too different other than making enemies more difficult :e I think a topic directory, or even a projects section (which would remove all the clutter) would have sufficed. As you pointed out, that wouldn't work, because the links would eventually die and there would then be no back-up of the hack. Instead, it would be better to archive the patches on a separate place where the downloads can be maintained and kept from disappearing off the rest of the internet, like so many have already. The Serenes Forest Wiki is an easy place to start. All it takes is someone to dedicate the time to sort it all out. It'd be nicer than just letting all the edits fade away with time.

Ryrumeli Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Agreed Celice. I think it should be even officially as a position among the site's hierarchy of power, like a section mod of sorts. That would be a relatively simplistic way to prize someone willing to organize all patches like that. Or just an achievement of sorts if there is such a thing here, something to prize for something relatively workful and intricate as keeping him/herself as up-to-date as possible. And yep, if we add in all FE patches for all consoles, FE is quite a well-served franchise regarding hacks, considering the size of the fanbase. Small but faithful. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Red Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) A lot of people don't like their hack to be shared. Furthermore it's one thing to include a name and download but another to include actual information on what a hack includes given that the hack itself can change over time. It'd be nice if people submitted their hacks to say, RHDN, which has a system for submitting hacks, but I doubt everyone's going to do that, especially those hacks that are far from completion.

BBHood217 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I'm a little interested in Elibian Nights. How complete is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryrumeli Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Well, you could check the topic itself for the answer. :) It is in a topic very close to this one, with a very suggestive name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 If you don't want to play a patch just because it's unfinished, you might be waiting for a long time before anything is playable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Red Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 ^Again, we've already shown that there are plenty of complete hacks. Just because they aren't long or custom doesn't mean they aren't complete. Elibian Nights has a good amount of progress--about 8 or 9 "chapters" I think (they're called tales)... but it's not complete. It's more than halfway done though, from what I know. Tactics Universe is also more than halfway done... I don't know of any other in-progress hacks that are more than halfway done, ATM. Unless DoF is short--that one's got good progress but I don't know how far the entire game is, if it's only 20 chapters it might be more than halfway. *shrug* Something to look into yourself, the topics aren't THAT hard to find or look through.
