Blade of Light Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) It‘s Thracia, but you play the bosses and fight against the original cast! Follow lord Veld, his trusted knight Raydrik and his merry men, the deadlords, on a magical journey after the malicious prince Leaf and his pawn, baron Finn, kidnapped Velds love interest Bharat and find out that the real treasure are the ~40 generic-looking friends they make along the way! This hack replaces every playable character with a boss or NPC and vice versa. Since there aren‘t enough bosses to replace every unit, August, Dorias, Julius and Ishtar are included as playables. On top of that, Lara is unchanged since she funtions as both your thief in Manster and your dancer. This hack also gives most bosses who appear as a general or baron in the base game a new class, as there wouldn‘t be any variety between units otherwise. Update: Version 1.1 of the hack is out! On top of some fixes, this version is updated to version 1.08 of Lil' Manster, allowing you to access all the new and amazing QoL features of that version. Many thanks to Miacis for helping me with the switch! Note: This hack does not alter any dialogue, it‘s gameplay only (apart from some memes). Download Link The complete changelog can be found here. The Folder also includes a 0% growths version and an Everyone Is Largo version. The creeping realization that everyone is Largo is something I just wanted to share (his portrait gets reused like 5 times in the game). The Optional QoL/unit reordering patches from LM are also included. Known Issues: - Stoning bosses before they can participate in certain events (like Leaf in chapter 5) can cause soflocks. Just don‘t do that. Stoning bosses in general is fine though – and hilariously broken! - If a unit gets stoned, then recruited (like Trewds or Mishas replacement, at the end of the chapter), they‘ll stay stoned as the status doesn‘t get cleared between chapters. - If The door to the arena is opened while Eichner is on the field in chapter 5, he sometimes remains on the battlefield even though his sprite is gone until 1 othe action is completed. If you step on his tile while he's still there, the game crashes. Thanks to Tortuga Jr.#6373 on discord for reporting this Note that I might have missed some bugs and glitches. If you encounter anything that looks like one, please contact me immediately on SF or on Discord (user Blade of Light#6050). Thanks!

Saint Rubenio Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Well, this is hilarious. I'll keep an eye on this one. Tossing petrifies all game long sounds absolutely wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLNarshen Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I think I know what my next FE5 playthrough is going to look like! Would it be at all possible to give Julius the Dark Prince class (or at least its overworld sprites)? I have a feeling it may be too much work to get it to function properly given it's unused in the base game, but it would certainly help to distinguish him a little more from all the other Dark Bishops. x) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, I can't import the animation from FE4 either, there aren't really any advanced tools that could do that for Genealogy. And yeah, having like 5 dark bishops in a bit confusing - but I can assure you, having 7 wyverns is worse 🙃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotari Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Rinehardt doesn't get Dime Thunder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade of Light Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 6 minutes ago, Jotari said: Rinehardt doesn't get Dime Thunder? yeah, he replaces Brighton who doesn't have a personal weapon in vanilla. If the Dire Tunder was in the game, I would've given him access to it, like with Altena and the dragonpike, but it ended up being unused because the only magical prf needed was the Grafcalibur. But to be honest, we're talking about a unit that can use basically every normal magic in the game at base, has good bases, really good offensive growths (including a 5% move growth), 5 vigor stars and 3 offensive skills. I feel like he doesn't need any extra favoritism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Rinehardt appears really late in vanilla, so he's going to be one of the first characters you get in this patch. Olwen gets replaced by Zyle, the brigand boss of chapter 15, and there's not much I can change about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syndixel Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Never thought I would see a boss hack for SNES Emblem and so quick too! I'm glad these are starting to crop up. This and the one for FE7 are paving the way for other boss hacks. Great job on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLNarshen Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) Well, this was a fun experience. You're probably aware of this already, but "Othin" in the final chapter can't use the Vouge he comes with. Not that I was complaining Thanks again for making this!

Blade of Light Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 I know it's been... a little while, but an updated version of this hack in finally out! On top of some fixes, this upgrades the hack to version 1.08 of Lil' Manster and therefore adds all the new QoL features of that version. This is probably going to be the final version of the hack, and it actually comes without menu lag! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
