Xeno's FE Hack (name pending)

[Xenomic]

Howdy! So, after helping out with another hack and learning some coding here and there, I decided that I wanted to try my own hands at making a hack. I haven't started anything on the technical side (graphics which I cannot do outside of mapping, music which I'd need someone else to help with for specific things, etc), however I have been working on the core story idea and characters for the hack over the past month or so. I have had some help here and there with various segments of this hack so far (thanks to everyone who has helped out on it thus far), and feel like I should share it here on the forums with ya'll for some feedback. Not everything is set in stone, mind you, as things are bound to change (for instance, Nah, Sully, Jagen, and a few other characters were dropped from the characters outright).

After defeating the soldiers and their boss (subjective if it'll be an actual character or an OC), Chrom decides the best course of action is to destroy the gate, but before he can do so, Tiki goes through the gate.

However, during the battle when Shiida mentions Marth's name, the battle is brought to a halt by Chrom, and Chrom explains to Marth that he is looking for Tiki whom had entered the gate before them. Marth also explains that he too is looking for Tiki as she had mysteriously vanished some time ago, and the party is ambushed by an enemy force. Marth's party joins Chrom's during the fight, and afterwards they gain word of two more Outrealm Gates appearing by Gotoh, one in Doluna and another at the Ice Dragon's Temple.

Chrom's group start at the bottom, Dawn Brigade are stationed at the top. Laura could have status staffs maybe? Like Berserk/Sleep

Win condition: defeat Micaiah

final boss could be surrounded by dragon essence and upgrade to Summoner with awesome tome and +5 stat boosts to everything that's super effective against dragons

So there you have it, the rough version of it! Maybe some people here would be interested in helping out with the graphics or other bits of this hack, or maybe even offer criticism or feedback on the hack idea overall. Hope to hear from you all!

[Alm]

Excellent, you finally made a thread!

[Kon]

So, let me get this straight. Marth and Chrom get into a fight, but despite the fact that Marth is the most prominent figure in his kingdom's history and that at one point his own daughter masqueraded as him, it takes Shiida calling his name for Chrom to stop the fight? I can't even understand Marth engaging Chrom's group in a battle, as Marth really isn't the type to go charging into a fight without assessing the situation. It's the same deal with Seth later on. Why would Chrom resist when being confronted by Seth and his men anyways? He should know by now that suddenly arriving by way of one of the gates would alarm anyone, so as a ruler himself wouldn't he rather meet up with the group and explain the situation instead of causing completely unnecessary deaths? It all seems terribly dumb for these people to kill first and ask questions later. :/

And with the confrontation with the Dawn Brigade at Nox Castle... didn't they kind of already know that Michaiah was the only one to turn bad? The Dawn Brigade isn't even mentioned at all before that chapter, the rest was only about Michaiah. Michaiah had turned, they had to find Michaiah. Hell, even if they were, I doubt those outside of the original Brigade would choose to stay and fight with her. Most of the others are probably done with all this stupid infighting, especially Jill, Zihark, and Meg. Tauroneo probably chose to stay with Michaiah out of loyalty to his Queen, Fiona was never really all that close to anyone there, and I could see Laura and Aran not wanting to have anything to do with a crazed Michaiah.

The mysterious possessions of Myrrh and Michaiah sound very... cheap too. Even making Nagi the culprit doesn't make it any better, because what reason does she have to change? It just feels way too forced.

I could also point out how painfully fanfic-y the whole plot sounds and how badly it seems to jump around but it's 6:20 so I think I'm done for now.

Like I said, not everything is set in stone at the moment and a lot was done on a whim and not fully fleshed out. The whole Tellius arc wasn't even done by me (as I don't know much about the Tellius saga, so I had someone else handle the story there). There's a lot to be done with the story overall, but the core IDEA is there, if you know what I mean.

Some things to go over:

*The whole Marth thing. I honestly wouldn't know if they'd actually have anything that'd look like Marth (sure, Lucina masqueraded as him, but did she really know what Marth himself looked like? Or did she just take his name without knowing what he looked like while wearing a mask? I feel like it's the latter than the former), so that's the route I took. There wasn't any Tiki around to keep the fight from happening either so there's that. Though thinking on it, Marth doesn't seem like the kind to do that. Chrom...I actually can't say. I'd have to look him up more to see how he is again. Feel free to correct me on any points on the story of course, because some things I'm guaranteed to get wrong, at which point I'll need someone else to help with correcting.

*Again, the whole Tellius arc wasn't done by me, and I have like zero knowledge on that arc so...there's that out of the way. The idea though is still there with having Micaiah being the last one to be fought in that arc.

*Nagi is only the culprit with Micaiah, and that was something to do with the main villain forcing her to do her bidding or else she'd die, something like that. Again, I didn't come up with the whole thing with Nagi during the Tellius arc (I was going to have the main villain be the one that was doing...something...to Micaiah). Essentially what the villain was doing with Myrrh.

*Right now, each arc is only 5 chapters long so as to not go too long or too short, but that's subjective to change depending on if any arcs need extra story done to them or whatever. I know the story's not exactly the best and there's a lot to be desired, and I would very much appreciate anyone who knows these characters/games better than I to help out if they feel something isn't right. It's kinda like how I feel Gotoh wouldn't just challenge Chrom like he did, but I wasn't sure on how to incorporate Gotoh into the story (Nagi was randomly added into that fight as well, so as you can see, I do a lot of rough drafting before ironing things out).

Some notes:

*The original idea for the Chrom/Marth encounter was for them to meet up and then both get ambushed by the main villain, kinda like what happened during the Prologue, and during THAT encounter is when Chrom would find out about Marth and about the whole situation with Tiki. I might actually go with that idea over Marth fighting Chrom.

*The original idea for Marth's Akaneia route was to have him go to the Ice Dragon's Temple instead of Chrom, since Marth knew how to get there, while having Chrom head to Doluna. I decided to switch this around as to give the characters a bit more...characterization with some of the other characters. I don't know...maybe I should flip it around? Though that would make Merric heading to where Marth was with his little army pointless as Marth would've already been by Khadein if his route was Chrom's route...hmm.

*As you can probably tell, I haven't come up with any good ideas for the Elibe or Jugdral arcs. Originally the Jugdral arc was going to be Lewyn/Levin challenging Marth to see just how powerful and just Marth is, then helping Marth out while chasing down the main villain, but I don't know how that would go (I don't know Jugdral that well despite having read FE4/5). Also, the whole thing with Fae is kinda like what happened with Myrrh (same thing with Nowi). I believe the idea was that the main villain was using something that could control or utilize dragons to her will (I dunno....a dragon's flute you can say). *shrugs* The whole idea behind the main villain's motives are A) Gathering up the essence of dragons for some purpose that I need to fully decide on and B) Collecting the Fire Emblems for said purpose. The story synopsis doesn't go too deep into detail with each chapter, I'm afeared, since for instance in the chapter where Marth gets his Fire Emblem, that's where Marth would learn about the villain trying to get the Fire Emblems as that's where he would fight said villain's flunkies.

*The Magvel route's first two chapters and last two chapters were pretty much supposed to go the way they were for the most part. Though in all honesty, how would one react to a bunch of people popping out of some random gate? I think it's also stated in Magvel's Chapter 1 arc that Seth kinda questioned the whole ordeal too (though honestly, it feels like that's something Ephraim would do too. Especially considering that ya know, Myrrh wouldn't leave the forest unless something bad was going on. Hmm...).

*Again, Tellius route isn't done by me, so I can't speak much on what's going on there.

I do appreciate your feedback Kon and hope to hear more from you.

[Xenomic]

Quick change in Marth's Akaneia Route 3. It was:

"Not wanting to interfere with the current time era, Tiki beckons Lucina to leave with her, but Marth insists on them both staying and helping him with finding his world's Tiki as well as to help them with finding the source of the dark energy that Tiki felt."

Which was supposed to be:

"Wanting to continue her search on the dark energy, Tiki beckons Lucina to leave with her, but Marth insists on them both staying and helping him with finding his world's Tiki as well as to help them with finding the source of the dark energy that Tiki felt."

[CT075]

i'll second kon's notion that this seems like a bad crossover fanfic

that and the fact that i generally really despise post-series crossovers

[Lord of Gabriel Knight]

"If Seth lives: Chrom convinces Seth that he is not trying to take over Renais and explains to him what is going on. Seth, finding it hard to believe, decides to allow Chrom to meet with Ephraim and Eirika. The group continues on to Renais Castle."

Why, oh why does Seth let random strangers whom he doesn't trust meet the King and Princess?????????? And even as he's dying (in the alternate event).

[Xenomic]

The whole idea of Seth dying isn't going to be done at all, so that part's out. Magvel route is going to go a bit differently, but mostly the same. For instance, you will still fight Seth, but the only reason you even fight him is because, knowing him, he wouldn't disobey any orders from either Ephraim or Eirika in the first place even if he was doubting the situation at hand (which he is in the opening for the Magvel arc I do believe it states). Although thinking on it, Ephraim would also be doubting the situation too normally I'd think, but since it's from Myrrh...

Also, for those curious, I am working on the dialogue script for the Prologue and Chapter 1 events. In fact, the dialogue is changing how they work a bit (for instance, you will not fight Marth in Chapter 1 at all and he and his troops will be allies for the fight in that chapter). For those interested, this is the current dialogue script (which I think helps shed light on the story moreso than the story synopsis). If anyone can look these over and let me know if anything seems out of place or doesn't stay in-character with any of the characters, that'd be great. I can't say that I know all of the characters well enough, and some are going to be really, REALLY hard to do (such as Cain and Abel). I've been spending a good couple days now on just these two chapters in general trying to make sure it doesn't sound terrible and too out-of-character (Lissa is surprisingly difficult to get right I feel...). Chapter 1 I'll be doing in-game and then showing screenies of that I suppose, unless you guys would prefer a video for that? I don't have all of the in-battle sprites so I can't really show those, nor all mugs. Hey, I'm not a graphics guy ok!? T-T.

For reference, X/Y/Z are OCs (the very few OCs for the story, since well...can't use any of the major villains from any of the actual games as they're kinda dead lol). X is female, Y/Z are male:

Prologue Dialogue Script:

*At Ylisse*

Chrom: ...Frederick, is this really necessary?

Frederick: Of course. It is imperative that the halls are kept as clean as possible. We wouldn't want our guests to think that Milord is messy. Oh, and I have already made sure that tonight's dinner has been prepared with the right spices and served along with the finest tea to your liking. And--

Chrom: (Gods...this man sometimes...)

Frederick: Did you say something, Milord?

Chrom: No, it's nothing, Frederick.

Sumia: It's been a while since we've last seen everyone. I wonder how everyone has been since their last visit.

Chrom: Hopefully well. Frederick, has--

Frederick: Oh, do not worry. I have already cleared the roads leading to the castle of all the pebbles and stones, as well as polished the halls so that none may slip and fall.

Chrom: ...That's not what I was going to ask.

Frederick: Oh, pardon me! Then what is it that you wish to ask?

Chrom: Has the scouting party returned yet?

Frederick: Not yet. There has been no information as of yet as to their findings.

Chrom: Then maybe I...

Frederick: Is Milord thinking of going to scout out the area himself?

Chrom: Yes, actually. I should make certain with my own eyes about whether or not there has been activity at the Outrealm Gate. I must admit, it is a bit unnerving to hear that it has been acting up after all we've been through...

Frederick: Could it be that there are more Grimleal about, trying to resurrect Grima?

Chrom: I don't know, but I'm going to go find out.

Lissa: Hey! Where do you think you're going without me!? If I don't come with you, who's gonna keep you from croaking!?

Frederick: As your loyal vassal, I too must accompany and protect you, Milord! I shall be your shield against all foes!

Chrom: N-Now just wait a moment!

Lissa: You know that you need us, Brother! The other Shepherds aren't around, so there's nobody else to save your bumbling butt than us!

Chrom: ...I suppose you're right Lissa. But if anything happens, you're to return to Ylisse immediately, understood? That's an order!

Lissa: ...Only if I absolutely have to, ok? I'm not going to leave you behind if I can help it.

Sumia: If you would wait for me to go get changed, then I--

Chrom: No, you're staying here Sumia. Someone needs to look after our child, and it's safer here than where we're going.

Sumia: But Chrom! I--! Oh...alright. But please be careful and don't do anything reckless, okay?

Chrom: Thank you for understanding, Sumia. I suppose we shouldn't waste time in going. Lissa, Frederick...let's be on our way then!

*At the Outrealm Gate*

Tiki: ...

(Enter Chrom)

Chrom: Huh? Tiki? What are you doing here?

Tiki: Oh, hello Chrom. Did you come to investigate the Outrealm Gate as well? I felt it calling to me...

Chrom: Calling?

Tiki: Yes. I cannot explain it. This dark energy is full of of hate and malice, but it feels so...familiar to me.

Lissa: I'm getting a baaaaaaaaad feeling about this...maybe we should get out of here now?

Tiki: ...!

(Enter X from gate)

Chrom: Tiki, get back!

????: ...The scent stops here. So that must mean...

Chrom: Excuse me, but who--

????: Oh! Natives! How very thoughtful of you all to come here to greet me. Perhaps you could lend me a hand?

Lissa: A bit rude interrupting people when they're trying to talk, don't you think? Just who are you anyways?!

????: My apologies! I am [X], a...scholar, you could say... Anyways, I'm searching for each world's Fire Emblem and some dragon essence. Would you four have any possible leads?

Tiki: Each world's Fire Emblem? "Dragon essence"?

X: ...So, any ideas or not...?

Chrom: ...It depends if you will tell us why you need them.

X: I cannot say. It's a bit personal, and pretty complicated.

X: ...Wait a moment.

Chrom: What is it?

X: That mark on your shoulder...

Chrom: Huh? You know about the brand?

X: Y-You! You cannot trick me! I know what you are! I-I will not...I-I cannot...!

*Exit X fleeing through gate*

Lissa: Umm...what was THAT all about? I think there were a few screws loose in that girl[']s head!

Frederick: Who can say? I am quite intrigued though as to why she fled after seeing milord's brand, though. How does she know about it?

Chrom: Just who was that woman?

Tiki: She seems to know quite a lot. Maybe even too much. I wouldn't imagine anyone outside of this world would know of the Brand.

Chrom: Hmm...

Frederick: Is something troubling you?

Chrom: There is something suspicious about that woman. Her knowing about the Brand is one thing, but...what is this talk about other Fire Emblems in other worlds? Can such a thing be possible?

Tiki: Perhaps. She could be speaking of other worlds such as the world that the children once came from. I...cannot think of Naga going to any other worlds aside from our own world.

Chrom: Perhaps you're right. But that doesn't answer why she's looking for them or "dragon essence".

Tiki: Yes...I'm more bothered by her wanting "dragon essence" than the Fire Emblems. Whatever it is she is planning, it cannot be of any good.

[Gate acts up]

Lissa: Um...this isn't going to end well, is it?

[Enter Y and Z and their minions]

???? #1: Hmm? Well, well, lookie here! So this is what X was freaking out about? Pffft! What's she worried about!?

???? #2: Well Y, what do you expect? She freaks out over the tiniest details! But, orders are orders! Let's take care of them and then get to searching, eh?

Chrom: What!?

???? #1: No hard feelings, right? We're just following orders. Can't be letting anyone affiliated with the divine dragon get in our way, you see?

Frederick: Ruffians! You would come to another world just to wage battle against its denizens?

???? #2: Hey, blame it on circumstances! It wouldn't have come to this if you weren't with the divine dragon!

Tiki: Wait!

Chrom: Looks like we don't have much choice. Prepare for battle!

(Start battle)

*After battle*

???? #1: Feh! They're stronger than they look! What rotten luck... the others weren't this tough at all. Why do we always get stuck with the hard jobs!

???? #2: Ah, stop your sniveling! We'll retreat for now and return with more reinforcements. X is waiting for us after all.

[Exit Y and Z]

Frederick: Those were no ordinary opponents. If more of them had shown up...

Tiki: ...

Lissa: So what're we going to do, Chrom? It sounds like they wanna kill us!

Chrom: ...

Frederick: If I may propose something, sire? What if we destroyed the gate?

Chrom: Destroy the gate, Frederick!?

Frederick: Indeed. If the gate were to be destroyed, then we need not to worry about this situation occurring again.

Lissa: I'm with Frederick on this one! Any more of these guys, and we might be in quite a bit of trouble!

Chrom: ...Perhaps you're both right. The question is then, how would we destroy it?

Frederick: I could rally up some ballisticians and have them destroy the gate if need be. Or perhaps have Miriel use her magic to destroy it? [* Why Miriel in specific? Certainly there are court mages, or other people to ask.]

Tiki: ...!

Chrom: Tiki? What is it?

Tiki: This dark energy...could it be Grima!?

Chrom: Hey, Tiki! Are you...

Tiki: I'm sorry Chrom. I...I need to go!

[Tiki exits through the gate]

Chrom: T-Tiki!?

Lissa: Woah! What is she thinking, just leaping in like that!? We don't even know where that goes!

Chrom: Why did she...?

Frederick: This is grave news indeed. Perhaps I should go and rally up soldiers to help?

Chrom: No, we don't have time to go back to Ylisstol to get anyone else. There's no telling what's going on on the other side of this gate. Tiki could be in danger right now!

Lissa: Then what're we doing sitting here yapping!? Let's go in after her!

Chrom: Lissa, you should head back to the capital.

Lissa: What?! Why? Look Chrom, I know you're worried about me, but like you said, we don't have time to go back. Either we all go now, or we don't go at all!

Frederick: I agree with milady. We are wasting too much time as it is.

Chrom: ...You're both right. Then let's go through, to the other side of this gate. Let us hope that we won't have to do any fighting once we get through.

Lissa: Alright, hang in there, Tiki! We're coming to help too!

[Exit Lissa]

Frederick: I did not think that we would have to ever use another one of these infernal gates again. Perhaps there is something more that we need to do elsewhere though.

[Exit Frederick]

Chrom: Gods...why is this happening now? Who was that woman? Why is she after the Fire Emblems and "dragon essence"? I don't like where this is going. It feels like something big is about to happen again. Sumia, Lucina...stay safe for me. We'll all be back soon.

[Exit Chrom]

[End Prologue]

Chapter 1 Dialogue Script (not finished):

*At Altea Castle*

Cain: ...And that is my report, sire.

Marth: So a mysterious structure appeared not too far from the castle, there has been sightings of warriors coming from this structure, and the most recent sighting was of a group with a woman who was struggling against them?

Caeda: What could this mean?

Marth: Certainly nothing good. I can only hope that that these warriors are not malicious and will not start a war here in our land.

Cain: Shall we engage them?

Marth: No. I do not think it would be wise to do so, especially since we don't know their motives yet. However, I do think it would be best to give their leader a visit.

Abel: Ah, sire! Let us accompany you, lest they prove to be hostile.

Cain: Perhaps I should gather some of the other soldiers to come along as well?

Marth: No, that won't be necessary. We do not wish to present ourselves as aggressors. You and Abel should be more than enough to guard me.

Caeda: I will come along as well. If anything were to happen to you...I wouldn't be able to bear it. If worse comes to worse, we could easily escape on my pegasus.

Marth: Caeda...

Cain: Do not worry, sire. Abel and I will make sure to keep milady safe. If anything were to happen, we will draw the enemies' attention while you escape.

Marth: I will not leave anyone behind. If we must fight, we fight together. Let us hope that we do not have to engage, however. This land has seen far too much bloodshed already.

*Outside Altea Castle*

(Enter Chrom, Frederick, and Lissa)

Frederick: It would seem that we have arrived, sire.

Chrom: Yes, I can see that, Frederick. The question is where, though.

Lissa: The better question is where's Tiki? Shouldn't she be around here?

Frederick: Perhaps she followed her lead on this energy she was feeling. There is a castle nearby, so it would be ideal to go there first.

Chrom: You're right. Maybe we can figure out where we ended up as well.

(Enter Marth, Abel, Cain, and Caeda)

Lissa: Well speak of the devil! [* This phrase I'm very sure wouldn't fit anywhere in FE] It looks like whoever lives here has already decided to come out and talk with us.

Marth: Greetings, fellow warriors. I do hope that there has not been any troubles coming here?

Chrom: Ah...you could say there's been some trouble...

Marth: Pray tell me, what kind of troubles ails you?

Chrom: There has been trouble recently at...

Marth: Huh? Is something the matter?

Chrom: I'm sorry, I feel like I'm being rude. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Chrom, King of Ylisse.

Marth: Ah yes, we haven't properly introduced ourselves to one another. I am King Marth of Altea.

Chrom: The Hero-King, King Marth!?

Marth: Haha, well. I don't think that title is really befitting of me, but I am indeed King Marth. In any case, what was it you were going to tell me?

Chrom: Ah, yes! We came here looking for a friend of ours that went through the game a little while ago. She came here following dark energy, but when we came through, we did not see her. Did she happen to come across your castle?

Marth: Sadly, there has been no woman to come to the castle lately. I do hope that your friend is alright. But...what of this dark energy that you speak of?

Chrom: We don't know anything about it yet. We've only just learned about it moments ago after fighting with some otherworldly warriors who came to our world.

Marth: Other world, you say? So this structure is a gateway between worlds?

Chrom: Yes, this is the Outrealm Gate...well, one of them. There's supposed to only be one, but it seems that another has appeared in this world.

Marth: Interesting...and would there have happened to been others that came from your world?

Chrom: As far as I'm aware, we're the only ones to come through this gate. Has there been trouble here as well?

Marth: Not yet. I have gotten reports of strangers coming from this gate, but no information on their activities. Still...this gate seems like trouble.

Chrom: I have that same feeling myself actually.

[Enter Y with random mooks]

Y: Aha! So they did follow us after all! And here Z didn't think you guys would! Boy, wait till I tell him he was wrong!

Frederick: It's that ruffian from before! Do not fear, milord! I shall apprehend him!

Chrom: Wait, Frederick! Don't be reckless against opponents we don't know anything about.

Marth: Who are you?

Y: Oh, so sorry that I don't have the time to introduce myself, your highness! But you see, we have business to take care of within that castle of yours, so if you'll excuse us...

Marth: Halt! Name what business you have at the castle first.

Y: Hmmm....perhaps I shall! Would you so happen to have this world's Fire Emblem somewhere within your castle there, in a chest or wherever you nobles store your precious heirlooms? I'd like to take it off your hand, if you don't mind that is.

Marth: The Fire Emblem? Why do you need it?

Chrom: Wait! Do not trust this man! He is one of the soldiers we fought moments ago.

Y: Why, I never! How rude of you to say that! You're gonna give your highness the wrong impression of me!

Marth: ...No, I do not believe that you have any good intents here. You would not have come here with an army of your own had you have good intentions.

Y: Hmph! Well, if you're going to be this rude, then maybe I should give you some lesson in etiquette, eh!?

[begin battle]

[End battle]

Y: Rrrrrrrgh! These other guys are pretty tough too! Guess I've no choice but to bail out again!

Frederick: Halt, ruffian!

Cain: Do not think that you can flee!

Y: Who said I was THINKING of it? I'm saying I'm DOING it!

[Exit Y]

Frederick: I must apologize for my rash behavior, sire. Had you not stopped me, I may very well have fallen...

Chrom: Don't worry about it, Frederick. Just try and not let your duty get the better of you next time, alright?

Frederick: Of course, milord.

Lissa: He didn't seem like the kind that could use magic at all. I guess these guys are just full of surprises! So what now? That jerkface got away, and we still haven't seen any signs of where Tiki may have gone.

Marth: ! Did you say Tiki? Would that happen to be the friend that you're all looking for?

Chrom: Er...yes. She came here not too terribly long before we arrived.

Marth: I see...I'm not sure what to make of this. You see, a while ago Tiki disappeared from Altea and we've heard nothing about her since then...

Chrom: Altea!? Wait, just where did we end up?

????: Is everything alright?

Marth: Ah, Elice! What're you doing out here? It's not safe to be leaving the castle yet.

Elice: I couldn't just leave you out here alone. What would I do if something were to happen to you, Marth?

Marth: It's alright, Elice. I would never do anything that would end up leaving you alone.

Lissa: Hey Chrom? Do you think we somehow ended up in the past or something? I mean...this is a little too surreal, don't you think?

Frederick: I am a bit skeptical myself, but it does seem like this could very well be the Hero-King of legends. What do you make of it, milord?

Chrom: It's hard to believe, but I do believe that this is the real King Marth. Either we did go back in time, or we ended up in another world altogether. Perhaps this is Naga's intervention...

Lissa: But why would Naga want us to come here? Wouldn't she have told us first before dragging us off to other worlds?

Chrom: Hmm...

Marth: Ah...Chrom, was it? I apologize for the interruptions. I would be honored if you would stay in my castle for the night. I was thinking of going out in the morning to search for Tiki and find out who these people are, and would be honored if you would all would come to help.

Chrom: I appreciate the offer, but I do not think we have the time to spare for this.

Marth: I understand that you wish to find Tiki quickly as I do, but we must not rush. We need time to prepare for the journey ahead, and we could all do with a rest after that battle.

Chrom: ...

????: Marth, can you hear me?

Marth: ...! Sage Gotoh, is that you!?

Gotoh: Yes, Marth. It has come to my attention that two new structures have appeared in Akaneia.

[Xenomic]

Dialogue scripts updated some more. Having some issues with the Chapter 1 post-battle script though. Hopefully once I'm done with Chapter 1's script, the rest of the game's scripts won't be nearly as long outside of the ending T-T

I'm going to try and get something done for Chapter 1 in terms of putting it in-game and everything. Again, I don't have all of the sprites and whatnot available, so I'm going to have to improvise with sprites (and some mugs). Would you guys actually prefer screenshots or a video??

Why Chapter 1 btw? Because I don't have a map for the Prologue and have NO idea how to even do something for that one. I'm thinking of reusing the Dragon's Table map from FE1/3/11 or whatnot for the map, but altered. I'm not certain as there's no good screens of it from Awakening, and the one I HAVE seen, I don't think I can mimic in FE7 at all. @_@;

Well, I can't wait to see how this hack turns out. Best of wishes to you on this project, good sir.

[Xenomic]

Thank you. I'm gonna need it lol. I was thinking of doing all of the groundwork before actually doing any coding/eventing/whatever (basically, what you see in the first post with the story and characters), so that it's all sorted out. Had I not posted those here, I fear that it would've turned out worse than it could've, so thanks to everyone that's commented so far and keeping me on track with how everyone would be. I hope to have your continued support/feedback/criticism in the future. ^^

I have a request thread if you want any assistance on that aspect. I'll probably see if I can try the map myself sometime today and you can have it for nothing so you see if you'd want later works in the future.

I think Ephraim and Eirika should be playable, even if only near the final chapters. Actually, screw Eirika. Just let me play Ephraim.

This looks interesting anyway, looking forward to seeing the final product!

@Skitty of Time: That'd be swell if you could help on that particular map. We haven't figured out what to do with Dragon's Table at all lol.

@The Objection!: True final chapter you'll get to use both Ephraim and Eirika. In fact, true final chapter (requires you to have Chrom, Marth, Ike, Micaiah, and both Tikis alive at the very least), will have you use most of each of the series' Lords and both Tikis for the final battle. This would include: Marth, Seliph/Leif (haven't decided which yet), Roy, Ephraim, Eirika, Ike, Micaiah, and Chrom for the Lords (and of course both adult and child Tiki). Whether or not you'll have anyone else for that battle, I have yet to decide.

For those curious to other maps done for the game thus far, here you go:

Chapter 1 Map (based on FE1/11's Chapter 16 map IIRC):

Chrom's Akaneia Route, Chapter 5 (based on FE3 Book 2/FE12 Chapter 14 map):

There are more that need remastered for FE7 style, and most of them are just well...remasters (11 maps from FE1/3/11/12, 7-8 maps from FE13, and ~5 maps from FE4/5, FE6/7, FE8, and FE9/10 in general). You may notice, in all of this, there's NOTHING for FE2, so why isn't that being represented? The only representation it'll have is with Gaiden chapters for maps. That's pretty much it (there's really not much I can DO with Gaiden so it's relegated to just those chapters, if I can even make use of them...).

[Xenomic]

Marth commutes with Not-Caeda, Not-Abel, and Not-Cain! Yes, Marth's the only one I have a mug for (and that was because the guy that originally did it, Atey, allowed me to use his stuff).





Seen here: Not-Roy (who is one of the villains) talking with Marth and Not-Chrom. All of these Not-Peoples!




The Chapter 1 Map. Ignoring the fact that this is still Lyn here with a Child Tiki portrait, the party you get here consists of Chrom, Lissa, Frederick, Marth, Abel, Cain, and Caeda (not pictured is one of the knights). The boss is behind his cronies there, who is level 5. The cronies are all level 2-3 I believe. Nothing special here. The map though?




Fans of the series can probably tell which map this is off the bat, though slightly modified. This would be FE1/FE11's Chapter 16 map "Battle for Altea". Expect to see quite a few maps like this throughout the hack!



That's all I got to show right now. There's nothing to show with equipment or in-battle sprites yet. I need help on that front (I'm only a storytelling and eventing guy right now! I'm no graphics guy!). Hopefully some of ya'll would be interested in helping on this hack. ^^;

[ghast]

eliwood fe7 colors + marth/roy fe8 colors isn't good.

Also why are these screenies so freaking big?

[Xenomic]

Don't worry, the Eliwood mugs aren't going to stick around (I don't have anyone to make the portraits be FE7 styled either so...).

Also, that's because Gyazo captures it on my screen. My VBA is that large on my own screen. ^^;

In other news, decided to try some mapping for my hack, doing Chrom's Chapter 1 Akaneia route map. Please note, it's not 100% finished!

The original map:

EDIT - Ok, so just fleshed it out more and whatnot. Oi vey, this is taking long than it should to finish one map. @_@

Also, this is 3rd chapter map on Chrom's route. I have no idea how this is going to be done:

Hmm, couldn't you use different tiles for a bridge that large?

It depends if the tileset has bridges that go down...

But yeah, something like this could be done to make it look better.

[Xenomic]

I...actually didn't think of that. That's actually really nice. o_o

or you could just rotate it

I want play this!
