I don't wanna bump this thread. I'm no expert in Hex, So I've only got theories as to how this could work. If I wanted to add Schroff. The value for the portrait of Schroff is 29. I don't think the actual save data is the same as portrait data. I don't know if the Character Data is in order. So in the deployment menu it could be from left to right. So right now the last 3 character slots would be: Amalda, Conomor, Dermott. So 2D,2E,30. That's a maybe. There's also Suspend Data. Which might be the same as portrait data. I would suspect the Suspend Data is the same as in game. So you could change the value like you would with the cheat but I have no idea. I doubt the character values are next to each other because it has to account for HP and STR and all of that so I don't know. Unless those values are in a different location. Just theory. If I found Dermott's location, so: Dermott Forest Knight LVL 3 EXP 7 STR 11 MAG 5 SKL 12 30,?? (Value for Forest Knight),03,07,0B,05,0C

I feel like the splitting paths is kind of shitty. I picked the other path mostly because you get Best Boy Shanam. The other path you can get unknown characters like [Illios? outdated walkthrough names]. Who you can only recruit if you don't have Olwen in your army. The walkthrough claims there is no reason given as to why. Which means you won't get to interact with Reinhardt later on. I also don't see why you can't have both Ced and Saias. Obviously I like Ced more and that's the character I know, but I feel that's just weird.

I got to playing Thracia 776. I got to Chapter 19. Where you are able to recruit 1 of 2 characters depending on the path you took. Now, I did not go through the trouble of not killing Amalda just to kill her or see her go here. The question of whether it is possible... the answer is yes. I went ahead and changed the portrait of a character (Salem in Slot 16) to Schroff and went ahead and talked to both characters and they joined. My question is not whether I could legitimately do it. My question is if could add a character either through a Cheat or through Hex editing the save file. I've done some hex editing in the past but I'm not expert. I don't know where the unit values are. This is because I only replaced Schroff in place of Salem instead of having Schroff added to the roster. I don't know the possibility that it could cause an error later on, but we'll see. Edit: I do want to see whether it is possible. There is a hiccup with the portrait replacement. If you turn off the cheat to replace the portrait. The character turns into "Supply" instead of "Salem" or "Schroff" and then disappears. So having the cheat on until the chapter is finished is probably important. I don't know which one is the save file. If someone wants to help me figure this out.

Interdimensional Ike goes on to battle Fire Emblem's Thanos. haha I love it. I wanna see it. Edit: Don't say it already exists. It doesn't. You're imagining things. I need like 20 movies building up to it first.

Nintendo, please hire me. I'll write your script.

I think my feelings for Elincia and Ike are particularly strong. The fact that they didn't follow up on the dynamic, even if not romantically. Is bizarre to me. The problem that I noticed (It may just be me), is that I think Elincia is just kind of sidelined from the story completely. They are "trying" to do the multiple perspectives thing, but the problem is that Radiant Dawn is mostly "The Micaiah Show". Ike is a (large) supporting character, and Elincia is there sometimes. I feel like learning that Ike and Elincia was not a thing in the JP version does something to me I didn't want. Even if that was the case, it does feel like she was mostly absent from the story. I also don't think there was a reason not to do it. Changes like that from the JP to American versions a lot of the time from what I see become permanent mainstays. Even if the reason is just because it was not in the JP version. Her presence for me feels shortened. By extension her dynamic feels more like it was cut rather than just absent. As for Ike leaving, it does become difficult to argue the interpretative approach. A lot of ideas can also get distorted that way. I do like to believe he goes and does something big. The problem does come from the wording itself. If the text reads "Once he saw stability returned, Ike left on a journey to lands still unknown. He was never seen again." Translation is "He got bored, pissed off to an unknown location. idk lol" You could change the wording a little bit so it does not sound so indecisive. The problem is also how short the statements are. At the very least there could have been effort put into it. A cool GCI cutscene of Ike getting a mission from a far away land. With Soren and Titania present (at least them). And then he walks away into the sunset or whatever after accepting. That's like the same idea, just presented in a way that is much more conclusive and palatable.

I didn't say that you couldn't have interpretative endings. Some of the best endings are interpretative, but there is a difference between like The Godfather ending and saying that Michael Corleone keels over and dies in an unknown location somewhere... (Which is what happened). I guess interpreting the ending would be nice. Or could be nice. I would like to see that interdimensional Ike ending. My problem comes with the fact that it is in the script that he f**ks off. You can have the Casablanca style ending. Which is fine. ("This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship" final line from that movie). And then there is like some guy, 200 years later saying "Oh yeah, Ike, we have no idea where he went". I could do without the endings, really. I guess for example, Volke. It makes sense that he would just simply disappear. But for me the difference comes from the text itself telling me this information instead of me coming to that conclusion myself. Granted, I could ignore it. But this is Ike. I'm waging war on Nintendo HQ for a 20 year old game. Given the plausibility that Ike would run away from his fame and glory and go find adventure. I could probably see that. I cannot see the idea that he is gone completely. If the ending read "He went to find adventure and [was never seen again]" my reaction would not be as strong. To me that is less interpretative and more the writer saying "ah who cares lol I'm getting payed ¥7.50 an hour". He was never seen again may as well be "Insert Text Here". I forgot about Priam. He was accessible only through a hack for the 3DS. I almost completely ignored it. It was the first game I played. When I got to Priam it was like the 3rd playthrough. The Awakening Spotpass paralogues basically break the plot. So, Emmeryn and Gangrel. So I would say that is pretty dubious. I guess it's a happier ending? I didn't even know Priam was maybe probably Ike's descendant. I like Ike the most. His type of heroism is not the typical "Hero Archetype". I guess that may go to Marth the most. If Ike and Marth were confronted with some god like villain, and this God decided to give a long winded monologue on whatever. Marth would reply with a speech about hope and friendship or something. My guy Ike would probably cut him short and instead say "You talk too much". His approach for me with the Black Knight as for heroism is that he no longer needed revenge. He was calm and had found peace with it (I think). All he wanted was to have closure with it. He had no malice toward him anymore. Overcoming anger is more heroic to me I guess. Ike does not think so much about morality. He just does what he knows is right. I think that is one of the major themes. Among the constantly debating nobility and pantomiming double faces, Ike does not care. He doesn't play politics or tea time and speaks his mind. Within character, I suppose that he could go somewhere and seek another adventure. That would be fine by me. However, The script is headcanon's worst enemy. Edit: About Elincia. Like I've said, I don't think they have to get married to be together. There is also unfortunately never a clear explanation on their relationship on whether or not they have feelings. There is also the fact that Elincia's uncle is still alive. He is the rightful heir. She may not want to, and neither would her uncle, but she could concede the crown. In the beginning this was more likely to happen I think. Perhaps not later on. Even after Radiant Dawn, the nobility is probably still undermining her authority. Her uncle's presence could minimize that, but I don't know.

My problem with the "lots of people have not seen him" and "without mass media" is that the rule is not really enforced. Ike is not necessarily a large public figure, but from I remember. Lots of people recognize figures like Micaiah almost right away on a few occasions (When Micaiah is actually trying to keep a low profile). Even before she became Pelleas' right hand. How would the common people even recognize their kings, nobles and generals is the question that would be asked in that train of logic.

So I took it upon myself to play all of the FE games lately for the first time. Path of Radiance has easily been the best one for me. I think Radiant Dawn is mostly fine, I'm not a big fan of it, but I think that the ending really put me off. Ike for me has become my favorite protagonist for FE. So the ending for him is shocking to me. For one, Elincia and Ike don't end up together. While it's not necessary that they have to get together. I feel like Path of Radiance, especially the ending GC cutscene, basically implies that they are "together". There are some off comments like Shinon claiming that Ike is in love with Elincia when Shinon was drunk. A lot of sequences between Ike and Elincia feel like it's heading that direction. I realize that Ike directly marrying Elincia could probably be against character. Since Ike probably would never want to be a king at all and stick with the Greil Mercenaries, but I don't think not marrying her does not mean he couldn't be with her. Elincia can only marry Geoffrey. Geoffrey is...fine. That's just a big let down. It's not something that HAS to happen, but it feels like if it did happen there are basically no questions asked. Like yeah that makes sense. Something that is introduced and never followed up on. Ike and Elincia are the two most developed characters in the game anyway. I have never liked the text endings for the FE games. It just feels really empty and anti-climatic. It's just text telling you how they lived and died. Path of Radiance at least has all characters walk up to Ike and telling him in the present what they plan to do. I understand that they might do the text endings because just about most characters could die, and any large scale ending would be too expensive and time consuming, especially for Nintendo, but it feels really shallow regardless. EDIT: My feelings towards how to end it. I think I would mostly be fine with the game just ending on the GC cutscene. Anything beyond that. Like the text endings, just leave a bad taste for me. I forgot what it says for Ike's ending exactly for Radiant Dawn. It comes down to he disappears and is never heard from again. That right there just got me. I got really mad after that. Like really? I could maybe understand that for any other character, but IKE? The actual and literal hero of Tellius and 2 wars and probably fan favorite character f**ks off and is never heard from again ok. They do that to the protagonist. I don't think Ike is the type to settle down. It would be very likely that he and most of the Greil Mercenaries would stick together. If that's the case. He and the Mercenaries would easily become the most famous people on the planet. Even if Ike decided to settle down in a backwater village somewhere. That village would easily become a tourist attraction. It kind of reminds of Disney and Luke's home. Like somehow Luke's home is not a museum after a nobody from Tatooine rises and defeats the Galactic Empire. Even if the Greil Merceneries tried to keep a low profile and get small jobs. There would be no doubt that they would get bombarded with job offers of the highest rank. I realize that Ike is not necessarily the protagonist of Radiant Dawn. Radiant Dawn tries to add a type of moral complexity to the plot. The problem is that Ike is... Ike. It is basically impossible to side against Ike in just about any situation. He is the hero regardless of the situation he is in.
