Eon Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Sorry if there's already a similar topic, I didn't see any. Anyway, what are the best FE hacks out there (any game)? Preferably hacks with a good story and no reused maps, preferably a bit of custom GFX but that's not the most important thing. I'm about to try Dream of Five for my first hack, as the trailer looks cool and I've heard the game is challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I think Midnight Sun is pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klokinator Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Eh, we see a topic similar to this about... once every 6 months or so? The most recent one was... http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=49983&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alusq Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Bloodlines, but wait for it to update to 1.4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 You've probably heard before, but The Last Promise is a great hack, and it's complete. http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=18554 I just started this one, called Death or Glory, and it's really fun so far. http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=30722 Elibean Nights (I think that's how you spell it) is good, and you can choose the order in which you play chapters in. http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=34351 Midnight Sun, as Draco said, is really cool. It's also hacked from Fe8, so that's kinda unique. http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=35455 And yeah, Dream of Five is really cool. I also suggest playing that as well.

Blue Druid Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Try ALL of them except Ostian Princess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klokinator Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Ostian Princess is great and anyone who says otherwise is a liar and a knave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonelyVoxel Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Personally, I believe that, once released, Sun God's Wrath will be a very well received hack. I'd take a look at the topic to see if it interests you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Green Patch has been my favorite so far. Really great balance and everything is new. The FE4 remodeling is also a nice patch, as are lots of the genealogy hacks, like Genealogy of Neir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
999 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Green Patch has been my favorite so far. Really great balance and everything is new. This sounded interesting so I googled it but the download link I found 404'd. I saw screens though and it looks like a lot of fun, any chance you could provide a link?

Lamia Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) it would be great if, in these topics, people explain what they like (or don't like) in project x instead of just 'play this' you should totally play mine though just because (once I get a patch out sometime this decade) Edited June 5, 2015 by Lamia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Druid Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Aha, what's so bad about Ostian Princess? (haven't played it, obviously) It's just lyn's story with different portaits, and pretty glitchy at times. It sort of became a famous hack in the fire emblem community for its ridiculously bad quality. Play it if you want, but I warned you!

Eon Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Is The Last Promise the only great completed hack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klokinator Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Is The Last Promise the only great completed hack? Depends on how you define 'completed'. If you mean full-length game the size of the vanilla games, yes. If you mean a 100% complete project, then no. There's also sacred contention, gheb fe, and probably a bunch of other reskins.

If you mean a 100% complete project, then no. There's also sacred contention, gheb fe, and probably a bunch of other reskins. Really? There aren't any 100% complete projects? I at least thought The Last Promise was completely done. By completed though, I basically meant either full vanilla length or until the hack's story ended. No re skins though. On another note, I've heard a lot of complaints about The Last Promise regarding it's writing and game design later on. How bad does it get? Still worth investing time into? The story is quite important to me in FE games, otherwise I start losing motivation to keep playing chapters (especially ones that take a long time to beat).

Avril Lavigne Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 The Last Promise has pretty good quality throughout the whole game. Story-wise... it's not amazing but it's still worth playing. But back to the quality, there are some really interesting designs and maps later on which I do appreciate so I do think it's definitely something you should play. It is probably the most famous hack there is to date. I love that it's an entirely original FE, and I can appreciate the work that goes into it because it does take TONS AND TONS of your time.

Technically, Corrupt Theocracy is 100% completed, but it...isn't the best hack out there. It's sequel, Sun God's wrath is hopefully good(it looks amazing). TLP is probably one of the closest to a complete hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you see, ROM Hacking is hard and no more than a mere hobby for people, so they don't really spend all of their time Hacking, since they also have to focus on school or college. Hopefully we'll see more complete hacks in the future. Although TLP is not the best hack you'll find, it was rather revolutionary as it was the first vanilla length hack, and one of the first hacks ever. Playing it is your choice though ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klokinator Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I basically meant either full vanilla length or until the hack's story ended. No re skins though. In my opinion, you're missing out if you skip on Chaos Mode. Might just give it a try if you want to play a difficult full length hack? As for long hacks, the longest one in the fandom other than TLP that is, in my opinion, the most fully edited and balanced, is Elibian Nights. If you haven't played that, go do so.

Blue Druid Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Oh yeah, Elibian Nights is near completion. It's at the semi-final patch I think. You should definitely try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw screens though and it looks like a lot of fun, any chance you could provide a link? Sure, here's a link http://ux.getuploader.com/FE4/download/96/%E7%B7%91%E3%83%91%E3%83%83%E3%83%81.zip Click the button that says 'ダウンãƒãƒ¼ãƒ‰' just below the link text on that page. Also, someone asked if The Last Promise is the only completed hack. There's a few in English, mostly GBA ones. There's a lot in Japanese for all of the series, and a few in Chinese (someone even had a basic FE10 hack going on, dunno what the state of it is now), and I've seen one in Vietnamese or Thai, I forget which language.

I've always tried to patch the green/midori hack, but it doesn't work for me. I get the Japanese fire emblem 8 ROM, but it doesn't work. Any tips? Also, I haven't found any big hacking communities for other languages, like Chinese and Japanese. Do you know of any as big as Serenes Forest?
