Hello !
I've been working on a hack for some while, and now I'd like to do something I've never done before : Importing custom music to FE8. I know it's a difficult thing to do, and after having tried (and abandoned) importing music from various sources (Most noticeably games like Ib, Majora's Mask, FE9/10 and a lot of others), I wanted to know if it was possible to import music from other GBA games, or at least the two other FE. It would be on FEBuilder, as you can tell by the tags. Also, I can't afford to spend money on this, so if I need any other application, it should be free.
I don't know if it's important (Probably not) but here's the list of music I'd like to import :
SpoilerThe Binding Blade :
-Dignity (Murdock's Theme)
-Melancholy (Brunnya's Theme)
-Suspicious (Narcian's Theme)
-The Last Dragon
-Polar Region
-Frontier
And of course : Shaman In The Dark (Nothing beat this music)Blazing Blade :
-Together We Ride (Of course)
-Merlinus
-Softly With Grace
-Reminiscence
-Attack !
-Everything Into The Dark
-Campaign Of Fire
-Companions
-Unshakable Faith (My fave !)And for other games :
Metroid Zero Mission/Fusion :
-Kraid's Lair
-Vs. Ridley
-Vs. NightmareMother 3 :
-Porky's Theme
-Unfounded Revenge
-Family Matters (2nd Movement)
-Smashing Song Of Praise
-Strong One
Others :Fountains of Dreams (Kirby : Nightmare in Dreamland)
Mute City (F-Zero GP : Legends)
Vaati's Wrath (The Minish Cap)So, is it possible ? Thanks for reading anyway, and, well, I hope someone out here will be kind enough to help me !

Thanks for your reply !
By chapter 1, you mean the actual chapter 1 or the first map ? (In other words, the mansion or the prison ?)
Because if you're talking about the prison, I actually wanted to make it smaller, but as the goal is to get past the guards without getting in range, it implied making HUGE hallways and rooms. I'm not to happy with it design-wise too.
If you're talking about the mansion, I think I'll delete most of the exterior, then. It would probably make more sense, actually.About the Jagen, well, I wanted to test it, and he's actually quite good ! Most of the ennemies rush toward him because he can only attack from distance, leaving the main character alone most of the time. But he one-shot almost everything he needs, so it counterbalance that. I wasn't sure at first, but he turns up pretty useful !
As for the splice, thanks ! I have to say, most of the best splices are for characters I have yet to introduce. And, well, I prefer a good-looking not-so-adventurous splice than a 100% original with tons of parts from lots of characters that end up looking like a complete mess. But I think I'll polish their designs with time (I'll most likely work on the main character, because having a recolor as your MC is kinda cheap)
I've already tried making a gameplay video, but I can't find any good free device (The only one I found was laggy, almost 1FPS...) But as soon as I find one, I'll make a playthrough of a few chapters and a trailer ! Also, I'll make a public demo once my problem with the first cutscene is fixed.
Thanks again for your reply ! It really, really mean a lot to me !

Oh, alright.
I... um... I really need you guys to help me out. I've coded the next two chapters, and they work just fine, but it's so frustrating to know that my first cutscene can crash the game (For a reason I don't understand. It is written the same way as every other introduction cutscene I've done).
So, uh, to have a chance of getting someone's attention, I... I guess I'll show off more maps and characters ?
Here are the maps, up until chapter 5 (The one where you'd recruit Natasha and Joshua in the base game) :
Chapter 1 :
(For some reasons I couldn't screenshot both sides at the same time, so here's the enemy placement and the player placement. Additionally, there are two recruitable characters : One spawning on the stairs near Sylvester's cell on turn 2 and an NPC in the bottom-right cell.)
This chapter plays very differently from the others, as your goal isn't to fight your way through, but rather to managing to get past all the knights and generals, who are clearly overpowered for all of your units, including Zweite. The boss isn't as strong as most of the others generals (Being only lv.1) but should be a pretty intense fight. You'd probably need the assistance of either Zweite or a mage...
Chapter 2 :
Oddly enough, I could screenshot both armies at the same time. Also, oops, I accidentally revealed the previous recruitable characters' classes. My bad. So, this chapter is also kinda odd but fairly simple. I wanted to try something original, and simply wanted a straight line to the boss, and what better excuse for it than a fight in a train ? (Also if someone has any idea on how to make this map prettier, I'm all hears). As I wanted to focus attention on the boss, there are no recruitable characters in this chapter.
Chapter 3
This was supposed to take place in a town right in the middle of the desert but... There is no village tileset that fitted better than the Western Isles from FE6. Also, remember when I said there were no recruitable characters in the previous chapter ? Well to make up for that, there are no less than four characters that can join your army here. Two of them have a pretty hilarious recruitment conversation, too. Nothing to add, this is your basic village chapter.
I won't post screenshots of the following maps, but here you have all the characters you can recruit before chapter 5x (Where we'll be introduced to our Ephraim replacement, yay !), in no particular order :
Spoiler
(Yes, I like Forde, Vaida and Merlinus' clothes)
(Also, yes, some of them are based on other fictional characters, including this blatant Batta recolor)
(Also also, if you have any idea how I could improve these characters' designs, I'd be pleased to hear that !)
Finally, here's my new and improved first cutscene that... still doesn't work.
Spoiler
Thanks for reading ! Please, please, pleaaase tell me what you think ! It's depressing to see all the views on this page and not a single reply (Excluding the one telling me she moved my topic to another sub-forum)...

So, uh, it's been a while since I wanted to make a hack about my OCs (Despite them having nothing to do with Fire Emblem). After spending months figuring out how to make the story work, I settled with some kind of spin-off acting as a prequel to my actual story. A spin-off following the adventures of Sylvester, a bandit. I don't wanna change the game that much, just put in my own scenario and characters, with maybe a few twists if I have time.
The complete hack should have the following :
- At least 15 playable chapters
- About 30 playable characters, excluding the Orson replacement.
- The main lord will be a brigand, with Gonzalez's stats.
- Difficult but fun maps, even with Fog Of War.
- Not a single mounted unit, be it on your side or on the enemy's side. (I think I'm gonna be loved for that one)
- Nice and funny characters, with a sweet mix of ugly ones (Just as brigands are in FE) and beautiful waifu/husbando material.
- Custom supports, made easier to unlock (Approximately doubling the speed to unlock them)
So, uh, I don't really know what to say, so let's start with a presentation of the characters (I'll add them as soon as I finish the chapter in which they are recruited)
Sylvester, Terror Of The Forest.
Class : Brigand Lord (Autoproclamed)
The main character, obviously. Fun fact = He started as a joke because me and some friends thought Migal (A minor boss from FE7) looked like Rambo, and slowly became his own character. I'll give him a personal weapon, but don't really know what effects it should have, as I don't have any cavalry...
Zweite, Serene Right-Hand man
Class : Sniper
The Jagen of the game. Actually, I'll try to make him more useful by giving him either Seth or FE7's Marcus stats/growth. I think making him a sniper is a good idea, as it prevents him from "stealing the exp" by killing the red units during the enemy phase.
Both of them will automatically join you at the beginning of the first chapter. More characters are coming, with probably Between 30 and 40 of them.
I am really motivated (From time to time...) but if you feel like helping me out, it'd be really nice of you ! Here's the link to the project's brand-new discord server : https://discord.gg/2FxRYu
I am searching help for debugging, balancing stats (I suck at these), writing supports, and many other things ! Thanks for your attention !

I myself am working on something that I guess could be a spiritual successor to the infamous "Dorcas Emblem." See, I always loved FE8; it's my favorite of the GBA Fire Emblem titles- and, since I'm learning how to use Nightmare (but not super well) and the FE8 Text Editor, I'm creating the spiritual successor to that game! It's still based on a fighter. Still haven't guessed? Then, my friend, it's time for me to introduce...
GARCIA EMBLEM!
And yes. It is what it sounds like. Everyone is Garcia!
Weapon names have been changed too, but who cares? Oh, wait... ME!
I don't know what's come over me. So far, just the prologue's done, but I'll make a full post by the time I finish at least one of the routes.
That's a pretty good idea, but... The thing is that Dorcas wasn't chosen randomly. He became the hero of Dorcas emblem because he became a meme before that. Garcia, on the other hand, isn't a meme on his own. But there are four FE8 characters that became memes that you could use : Gheb, Lute, Moulder or Amelia. I know this might sound harsh and unpleasant, but I'm not willing to hurt you. It's just that... Well, Garcia doesn't feet like the right choice.
.
.
.
As for me, I'm currently planning to make a FE8 hack starring a group of bandits as the main characters. Do you know what this mean ? No ? Well, I'll tell you :
- The main lord (Replacing Eirika) will be a Brigand
- I haven't decided on the other lord's class, but it'd most likely be a myrmidon or a mercenary.
- Because I really like to torture all you hardcore mounted units fans, there won't be any playable mounted unit.
- Still I'll try to make the characters feel unique, and no one will start at the same class as another one.
- I'll put all my heart into the dialogues to make those characters funny and memorable, please love them, they deserve it
- I'll try to make the maps enjoyable, even though I have no idea how to make that happens
- Also if someone here can make custom musics that'd really help me out, I can't offer much except a cameo of your OC and your name in the credits :(
Currently, I planned the story up to chapter 5, finished creating the map for all 5 chapters, started working on scripting the first chapter, and made the sprites for 26 playable characters. I think I'll post my progresses in a dedicated topic once I fully finish chapter 1.

FE6 would be cool.
Pherae, a small alliance of small lords, trying to bring dragons back, while the nice and friendly king Zephiel tries to stop it with the help of his loyal servants Narcian, Galle, Murdock, Brunnya and...uh...Idoun, somehow ?
Also Guinivere in a mirror universe would be sick as hell. Same for Eric, somehow.
-
Thanks for all the comments guys, it really means a lot to me !
Anyways, for the 150 people watching this page and not responding (138 of them probably being me), here's a bunch of MY OCs ! Yay !
First thing to know is that their world isn't similar with any of FE's worlds (Horses, wyverns and pegasi don't exist, however mermaids, centaurs, harpys, slimes, skeletons and lamias do.) but after a friend told me their designs reminded me of Fire Emblem, I decided to turn them into Fire Emblem characters... And the results were pretty good ! Let's take a look at a few of them, shall we ?
BLINK
Here we have our main character. His class would be lord (Similar to Eliwood), although he isn't linked with any royalty whatsoever.
FELICITY
This one, however, is linked with royalty. But there isn't any lord fighting with magic, so she'd just be a mage, I guess.
MAGNUS
If I really made a hack about my characters, he'd probably be the Jagen of the hack. Actually, probably more a Seth or FE7!Marcus, but still. Oh, and he's a general.
SPECULA
Two reasons why she's a good character : 1) She's a healer. 2) She isn't another healing-loli. Yesss. Also she stutters.
PEPITO
Have you ever dreamed of a playable skeleton soldier ? Well I do. And he's the one, ladies and gentlementlemen.
ARYA
I thought I haven't showed you enough waifus already, so here's the third one : Arya. A female mercenary, possibly with a knight's stats and growth (Maybe Oswin ?)
And, to end things in beauty, here's a character with a weird story. I actually made him as a simple recolor for a random boos in FE7 that looked like a famous actor to me, but ended up loving him so much I included him in the story, and now, instead of making a hack following the story I'm writing on Wattpad like the cringy 16y old I am, I think I'd make a hack about him and his team of bandits.
SYLVESTER
No need to say he's a brigand. I'd like his stats to be the same as Gonzalez. Because I love Gonzalez a lot.
Next week, I'll continue with my pop-culture characters. PLEAAAAAASE tell me what you think of them, please please please ! I NEED my daily dose of attention !

Wow, seeing Ib here is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one :D I like how you've made her, only tiny-little thing that could be changed is her hair, as it shouldn't be that long in front of her ear. I guess? I don't really know how should I put it, so I'm just gonna put a picture here that shows what I'm talking about. The more I look at Link, the more I see him being a woman, but he does look like Link, so good job! For the other 2, well, I've never played Undertale, but I guess the skeleton guy does look like... a skeleton? As for Organ Trail, I've never heard about it, but that man looks like he would be one of the coolest Jagens of all time!
So, like here, her hair os long only at the back, and behind her ears, but it's not like a problem, just something that I've noticed :)
Thanks for your reply ! I don't know why, but I always pictured Ib with long hairs near her ears, even when drawing her on paper. No need to say I wondered how this happened, I'm smarter than this... Anyways, here's Ib V.2 :
And here's Link V.2 as well (I realized there were no shadow under his hairs, and that BOTW's Link had brune hairs, not blonde hairs...
(Although something still feel wrong about him...)

Hello there ! (General Kenobi)
I see you've clicked on this page ! That's... Great ! Well, as you must have suspected, this is where I post my art. As I barely have any pixel-art talent, this is mostly (bad) splicing, but hey, might be worth a try ?
So, let's catch your interest with character you (might) know about (a.k.a not my OCs) :
First we have Clements, from the indie game Organ Trail (Really good, more people should know about it) :
(I think his class would either be mercenary or archer)
Next, Ib from the eponymous indie game (Yeah I really like indie gaming) :
(Of course, as she's a
barelymodified Clarine, she'd be a healer...)Then we have what I swear is the last indie game character... PAPYRUS UNDERTALE. I didn't really wanted to make him, but I had the base for skeletons and I was really bored. Sorry.
And what would be a video-game art without Breath Of The Wild's Link ?
(Note that I used Lucius as a base. Who would be better to play our beloved crossdressing hero than our favorite trap ?) However, the more I look at him, the ugliest he looks. *Sigh*... Fortunately, the next (And last) character is a lot more... Beautiful.
Spoiler
My best looking sprite so far. I'm so proud of him.
So... I guess that's it ? I'll post some of my OCs someday, but I think 5 sprites is already quite enough. Also, if you have suggestion of characters you'd like me to do, tell me ! I don't guarantee I'll do it, but this might give me ideas... Also, tell me what's wrong with my sprites, so that I can see how to improve them ! Thanks for reading !

I see you are a ...person(?) of good taste.
Anyway, welcome. I've got tons of OCs myself. Right now, almost an entire game's cast's worth!
You can see them in the thread for my Fire Emblem: Ascension project. Among other things.
I am a person of Gonzalez.
Yeah, I've quickly looked through your game and characters, and there are a few of them I already like (Elma, Fritz, Rosa, Omar and Fatima) ! I'd really like to help you by making a few portraits in the style of FE GBA, but I don't know which characters to use... (I already tried Rosa by using Sonia, but I don't know what to use for the hairs...)

Hi ! It is I, me.
I am pretty new to this franchise. Well. Actually, I knew it existed since 2010 when I first played Super Smash Bros Melee. At this time, Roy was my boy, and I was pretty salty he got replaced in Brawl. However, my curiosity and liking for fantasy stories made me want to play a Fire Emblem. But I didn't have any 3DS and all the other Fire Emblems are so rares I think I have more chance to see the Loch Ness monster than an FE8 cartridge. It was only in summer 2017 I remembered the Wii U had a virtual console with lots of old games on it, including FE7. I played it. I loved it. Even though Lyn's story sucks. I downloaded a GBA emulator to play FE6 and I'm gonna play FE8 soon (I want to 100% both games first but UGH IT'S HARD.). Oh, also I downloaded Heroes when it came out, but didn't play that much until recently because of how salty I was over the arena.
A few months ago, I discovered FE Builder, a logicial that could help me make my own FE game. Woah, great ! I've been writing a fantasy novel since fall 2016 and wanted to make it into a FE7/8 hack ! (But Vanessa won't let me turn her into a mage. Screw you Vanessa. You ruined all my projects.) So I started making my own sprites and... Well, here I am. It all started with an husbando from a 2001 fighting game, and now I'm making nearly a hundred of icons representing my original characters. Today, I joined this site in order to talk with people about those two games that already changed me, or simply about who is the best waifu from the Elibe series.
Spoiler(Spoilers : It's Gonzalez)

Okay so everyone is talking about stats, growth rates, killing Idoun etc... but no one talks about the most important thing and only thing we need in a FE6 remake :
Supports for Merlinus.
-
Other: Merlinus
Cavalier: Marcus
Archer: Igrene
Knight: Douglas
Cleric: Yoder
Mercenary: Echidna
Fighter: Bartre
Pegasus: Shanna
Thief: Astolfo
Mage: Lilina
Troubador: Clarine
Myrmidon: Rutger
Nomad: Dayan
Brigand/Pirate: Gonzalez
Refresher: Larum
Shaman: Niime
Wyvern: Miledy
Uh, making this list made me realize I like pre-promoted units a lot.

I'm glad you like him!
What I would do is grab an image link somewhere and put it directly into your post. It should be automatically embedded.
Yeah ! I dunno why, I always immediately like tanned FE fan characters. Even in the canon games, I like Igrene, Garret and Hawkeye design.
Anyways, as for my characters... I'm pretty satisfied with the first one I ever did, the protagonist : https://imgur.com/PvTp5Fh (Alright I know this is just a modified Franz, but...Uh... He looks cool ? And... I... Added a bit of Jaffar hairs ? Eheh...)There's also this one (https://imgur.com/PvTp5Fh) I had to start over 3 times before getting to a good result. In this version, I used parts of Karla, Echidna, Heath, Nino, Geese and a few others I don't even remember.
Anyways, this is where it's getting kinda special. You see, in my story, the characters fight (And are sometimes joined by) monsters (Like in FE8). But there are no monster portrait in any FE game ! What a shame. Fortunately, using only Merlinus as a base, I made my very own skeleton sprites ! https://imgur.com/axBCNfs https://imgur.com/WMQOP0A https://imgur.com/tNMw1kz https://imgur.com/fyxdWrO https://imgur.com/RlqBAta
But what was the most unexpectedly good were the few ones I drew myself instead of just making some kind of patchwork. Here they are (This does not takes place in any of Fire Emblem's worlds, so don't be surprised if you see something that is not part of the universe) : https://imgur.com/VDAml0g https://imgur.com/XRmxdO7 https://imgur.com/zulIX9e https://imgur.com/G02xuwR
So... Uh... I guess those were the best surprises I had when making sprites. Don't hesitate to tell me what you think about it or how I could improve, eheh... (Also, making old people is kinda hard, but there are a few ones I did that don't look that bad. But I already posted a lot of pics, so I'm gonna stop here...)
-
As I don't really care about stats and all that stuff, my opinion is purely based on how much waifu material they represent.
Favorite FE6 characters :
Gonzalez > Fae > Echidna > Niime > Igrene
Favorite FE7 characters :
Nino > Merlinus > Canas > Wallace > Florina
Favorite FE8 characters :
Xx_LooT69420_xX > Forde > Amelia > Daddy Moudler > L'Arachel
And Murdock beat them all.
Fight me.
-
Woah, there are some good sprites here ! I like L'Arachel son (Did she forgot to name him ? Ahah...), Claudius and older Ike !
Mh... I don't know which sprites I thought would look bad. I guess there are a few that turned out better than I thought. I'd really like to show them to you all, but this is actually my very first post here and I don't know how to add images. Is there a way to know where the files I'm attaching will be displayed ? Please help...
Importing music to FEBuilder GBA

Thanks a lot ! It works !
...Well, it works for FE6,7 and 8, F-ZERO GP and Golden Sun. But that's a good beginning, right ? (I can do with only FE6 and 7 musics anyways)
