I was replaying Chapter 4 Part 2, and I found a minor spelling error. When Canas leaves and gives Pent his tome of information, he says "It these notes are information about every discovery I've made." I'm sure "It" should be "In." Not sure if this was already brought up and/or already fixed, but thought you ought to know anyways, especially with the detail you put into this work.

Yeah, I suppose I will. Preferably, I like my Halberdier with a shield along with a lance, as not only does it look cooler IMO and it matches the soldier class. But I'm not going to be uptight and stingy about what I use, I would just prefer it. Also, I'll take up that and ask Astra about it.

She looks cute. Thank you, Nintenlord!

I figured I would request this just in case someone here got impulsive and/or bored enough or was interested enough to work on this. The Halberdier is my favorite class in the FE franchise and I've seen many GBA hacks implement them to great success, so I was wanting to have Amelia from FE8 change her Class Tree a bit, instead of Trainee > Cavalier or Knight, instead it's Trainee > Cavalier or Soldier, then to Halberdier. To put it simply, my wishful request is perhaps someone here can make a Female Halberdier Battle Animation, preferably the Spear and Shield ones I've seen based on Ephraim's battle animation, based on Amelia's colors, or at least animation itself and I could recolor it. A female soldier battle animation wouldn't go unwanted either, but not a big deal on that one. If anyone has a question or need something from me, if possible I will gladly answer/provide. Thanks in advance if anyone takes up this task.

I figured, but just had to ask. However now I'm getting an invalid or deleted file message when I click on the patch link.

In terms of game progress, is this completely done? If not, what chapter does the current patch end at?

I wonder if the DS modules I have are wrong. Most of Marth's stat growths are listed as 0, with Resistance and Skill as 2 and Magic/Defense listed as 56. His starting strength and luck are listed as -111 and -112 respectively, which is obviously wrong. If it is a module problem, hopefully you can get a DS module that does work. If it isn't a module problem, than who knows.

Epic Win/Fail Eliwood with only 8 Strength at level 20 Unpromoted on my first playthrough of the game so many years ago. That's 6 under the average I think. Despite that, he was not only still useful but still landed the final blow on the Dragon.

Yeah, from when I played, even with all three elixirs, I never came even close to killing Karmann with Karel. I'm sure it's possible with RNG abusing (been done already, so it is), but you're just at such a huge disadvantage that such an achievement, if there was one, would just not feel like an achievement because of the potential RNG abusing and luck that one would have to do. There's little strategy involved. Of course, I could be wrong about killing him strategically.

Nah, Erk didn't die. I had the same problem replaying Tale 4, as while the cutscene of Canas coming into battle showed, he did not appear. As for the Louise and Florina problem, I was replaying each Tale to find others, and I noticed the same thing happened to Natalie. There's probably something in the coding wrong there.

Same here about Shakespeare. High school I didn't care much for him. Now in college and taking a class or two on him I like him more. As for the Florina and Louise problem, it's fixed now after taking a break from the game. Perhaps I must turn the game off completely for it to work.

Thanks for the clarification of it. I figured it was something like that, but never could get confirmation. Other than that there's the problem that I saw a few other people note, how Florina and Louise's inventory and levels don't reset. I've read if you reset the game it will work, but it hasn't for me. I'm sure you're working on a solution if there is a need for fixing. It's just a minor problem for me anyways. Also, I was wondering if Erk is supposed to be in 4x. You see Erk and Canas talking and notice something wrong, but when the battle starts Erk is nowhere to be seen. I was wondering if that was intentional or not.

This is such a great project and the role of each character in each tale is really well done. Spoiler tags just in case. On the other hand, Erik's involvement in the Tale is very top notch and I think was my favorite moment in the hack. I never did like him, but he really was great here. Just something you can look into. I know you like quality in this project.

This was a nice little fun two story hack. I love that Dekar made and appearance. I wish Sakura's Windy was a bit stronger, but seeing that it's infinite and once I gave her Epicenter she was great after her class change. I do admit that the ending was a bit anticlimactic and not very fulfilling. Eliwood's like "Let's continue on to Santaruz." and it ends. Of course, if you have plans for more little small hacks like this, it's cool, but the ending was just abrupt. Ah well, still loved it and hope to see more from you soon, whether it's Sacred Dawn or other projects.

If you're wondering about when Kid is promoted, you're going to have to wait awhile on that one. The Seal you're looking for is during the first Llyod/Linus fight, which if you remember from the first game is right after the Desert fights, I think it's worth it as she's basically a Swordmaster that can steal. Unfortunately, her sprite doesn't change, which was a disappointment for me since I remember in Mageknight's signature at one time had Kid as the Rogue class attack as a .gif of some kind. Maybe that'll be in the Sacred Dawn hack, if she's in there. Also, from what I can tell, Leaf = Marcus, Nanna = Rebecca, and Glenn = Lowen.

I'm sure he can, but I never did like using Units that are already promoted so early, since they seem to have less potential than other units, although Marcus probably is the reason for that. If it stays the same, I'll just have to use Tuck if I have to.

I've only gotten Josh to level 18 highest, as I've got this thing to play the other characters more than Lords, but my Josh's stats weren't that impressive. Looks like I'll play him again and see. Although it doesn't really matter who's better. Both are insanely strong for who they are. You're Micaiah got 26 Luck, the same as my Macaiah that I just got to level 20 an hour or so ago. Obviously, that's high luck for any person. The only character that has even matched that luck with me was Ross level 20 Premoted, who had 25, and that was an extra 9 levels from 1-10 in his training class, so he had an edge, whereas Micaiah didn't. Luck raises the persons chance to dodge by 1 for each luck as well as lowers the opponents chance to crit by one for each point as well and 26 luck pre-premoted is pretty overwhelming IMO. Not to mention Josh who had stats that look like a Swordmaster's stats, except perhaps a bit better in the damage department. Either way, I just feel that it needs to be toned down a little.

I've been playing both hacks you made. They're great and I love the fact that Sakura made in in, but let's get on topic for Sacred Dawn. While playing the hack, there were mainly two problems that I had, although they aren't really problems persay. First one is the Light Mage Micaiah. Out of three playthroughs of the test, each time she has gotten stats that no other FE character has even seen, except for perhaps Sakura from your other hack and Raven from the real FE game. On average, at level 17 (since I haven't yet got her to 20 on all three playthroughs, 17 I have all three of them) she had max Magic, Speed, and Resistance, near max Skill, and above 20 Luck, 22 average. Her defense is like any other mages, subpar, around 6-8. Now, perhaps it's just insane luck with the RNG...all three times...but I've never had a character with stats like that at level 20, much less 17, except for Sakura and Raven, like I said before. I've yet to get her to 20 but she can potentially max every stat except Defense as a 20/20 character, at level 10 promoted no less. Perhaps she's supposed to be this powerful, perhaps not. I don't mind powerful characters. I really enjoy them a lot, but she just seems a little overboard in terms of power, but maybe that's just me. I particularly enjoy her, and that's what counts I suppose, but perhaps her stat gain percentage might need a bit of a fix in a few areas. Luck and Magic at least. Of course, if every boss is like they are in Chapter 8, she might not need fixing. Jarod the Halberdier. He was easy to beat, but only three people were able to stand up to him to do decent damage that the regenerate from the throne couldn't heal through AND not die. That was Micaiah, of course, Josh, said hero, and Nolan, the Axefighter, and it was only because he was an Axefighter that he was able to stand up to him due do the triangle. Jarod was just a difficult opponent. I know this is suppose to be harder, harder than your previous hack, but I feel that he was slightly overboard for the time you fight him. Micaiah drilled through him, but in one run where I left her out because she was 20 and I wanted other guys to get EXP, I had a hard time getting him down. This is just my two cents and I'll enjoy it however you make it, since I REALLY enjoyed the first one. I hope Sakura's in this new one. She was my favorite and a BEAST on my game. The Lunar characters were a good touch too.
