De Geso Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Background: I set out to make a reverse recruitment patch for FE8 as I couldn't find the old one by Mekkah and I wanted to play FE8 a little differently. However, I found out some time later that someone else had already made a true reverse recruitment patch for the game. I didn't want to abandon doing something though, so I made this. It's more like "units randomly get swapped around" than actual reverse recruitment now, but I still figure it's worth sharing. Whenever I could, I swapped recruitment in pairs or groups rather than by unit. For example, L'arachel and Dozla swap places with Eirika and Seth, and Saleh and Ewan switch with Ross and Garcia. The ROM (links to dropbox): https://www.dropbox.com/s/w6zdgqxtwrxuu1e/Sacred-Stones-Reverse-Recruitment.ups?dl=0 Below is a full list of changes: Spoiler Eirika > L'Arachel. Additionally, the Rapier has been replaced with Theia, a prf staff for L'Arachel. (Eirika still has her own Rapier). Seth > Dozla Gilliam > Duessel Franz > Cormag Vanessa > Syrene Moulder > Orson Ross > Ewan Garcia > Saleh Neimi > Marisa Colm > Rennac Artur > Kyle Lute > Forde Natasha > Tethys Joshua > Gerik Ephraim > Knoll. Additionally, the Reginleif has been replaced with the Charon tome, a prf dark tome for Knoll. (Ephraim still has his own Reginleif). Amelia > Myrrh. Because of Myrrh's new early joining time, I've ventured to decrease the dragonstone's buffs and make it unbreakable to preserve her viability. Let me know if this is too much, I can change it back to normal. Tana > Innes Bugs: Spoiler If anyone can tell me how to fix these minor issues I'd be more than glad to update the ROM a few times! L'arachel's Theia staff only heals HP equal to her magic stat, as opposed to 10+magic as intended. I don't know how to fix this, I've changed everything I can see that could have caused the problem. Ewan and Ross need master seals to promote. They join with one for now, but I'd prefer if they behaved like normal trainee units. I would love to hear feedback and suggestions!

XD Yeah, it was pretty obvious hahaha. Eventually I want to run through the script and change all the names accordingly but that'll have to wait for now :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRZNHeir Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Would that make Syrene the first unit you get? Or are you including Creature Campaign units? And the recruitment order is here, just for your ease of access Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that when I first started making this, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninian da best Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I just started playing, quick note: the scripted Dozla vs Valter battle softlocks the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
