ThatGuyDownTheStreet Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I would personally prefer it not be called "Magvellian Nights." But other than that I have no objections. I agree, that would just be ripping you off. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Red Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I have to agree with Arch ._. How about this for potential stories for an FE8 hack:-Joshua returns to rebuild his kingdom but faces opposition from some Jehanna lord -Ephraim and Eirika have to defend Renais from bandits -Frelia has another war with Carcino -L'arachel heads to Darkling Woods or the Lagdou Ruins to clear away the remaining monsters -Grado has an earthquake... but I'm not sure how that could make a chapter, I'm sure there's something there. - We (or at least I) don't know of any "Jehanna Lords". We'd have to invent something completely new. In Hector's Tale though, we already know that such territories as Thria and Ryerde exist, so there's something to build on. - Ephraim and Eirika lead an entire country. Eliwood, on the other hand, just has his own umm... province, I suppose (a smaller territory). Unless all the bandits on the continent grouped up, it just doesn't seem realistic for bandits to take on a country... =\ There's also not much potential for character development (well, I couldn't think of anything, maybe you or someone else can). Eliwood's tale (also with bandits) had him grieving over Eleanora, Ninian having a child, and then 1x had that unique gameplay aspect where you sent supplies to villages--just recreating that aspect in FE8 would be pretty boring IMO... - Okay, another war, what sparks it? =\ - not a bad idea IMO but there still needs to be something else unique to that... I'll give you the BotD and say that's 1 possible tale - Oh noez, Grado has an earthquake. All I see existing in that plot is Grado's remaining soldiers (Cormag, Amelia, Duessel, and whoever else) working together for some generic cause. But considering FE8 characters didn't have a ton of depth IMO I really don't see much character development (which is one thing that Arch strives to do in EN and that people like about EN--all the talk conversations and main-game character talks... FE8 isn't NEARLY as generic as the characters in like FE11 but they aren't great either IMO). Sooo there's a little potential, but doing such a hack would seem way too forced, and it would definitely take away the uniqueness from Elibian Nights, especially if you did something like call it "Magvellian Nights" (which doesn't flow with "Arabian Nights" IMO, while Elibian and Arabian are pretty similar), stole the "Tale" system, etc... I respect your opinion and it's not wrong or anything but if other people won't enjoy it a lot then there isn't much use in making it, IMO.

Celice Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) I agree, that would just be ripping you off. :P And editing a game you didn't make, which has no explicit allowance of editing, and then using copyrighted names and items somehow is more agreeable to "ripoff" :P It's been six years in romhacking that I've bopped around, and this "don't ripoff" mentality still pops up now and then XD And for suggestions and uniqueness, just remember that not everyone sees or voices their opinion, and so one shouldn't expect a few people to contribute ideas and criticisms to represent the mass of fans who would have a chance to see your modification. Take suggestions--but never act as if what little you hear fully encompasses others (especially each people approaches a game in their own unique way).

Take suggestions--but never act as if what little you hear fully encompasses others (especially each people approaches a game in their own unique way). I would like to second this comment. My site records convey that games like Tales of the Emblem, Gorilla Gadek SG, and Tactics Universe have been downloaded more than one might expect--definitely more than you see people posting. In the last month maybe 20 people have downloaded Tales of the Emblem, for example, but I haven't seen 20 comment on different topics of said hack, or on youtube, so obviously there are a bunch of people who play hacks but don't ever voice their opinions on the games. Just saying to strengthen Celice's insightful remark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Found something I'd consider... pretty major. Download this state: http://www.mediafire.com/?yj2bdk9u8095nzg Play it with the newest version, and press F1. It'll cut to Karel about to kill Gigias. Just do that, and look what happens after the save. Namely... The main cursor starts in the top-left corner. The Prince can rescue Lyn (though he can't rescue anyone else cause he's too weak lol) Karel is missing. I haven't unlocked 3x and 4x so yeah. Does anyone have any idea what's up with this?

shadowofchaos Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Sir OVERTROLL, status report. We are having some... delays for that thing. However, I think I've figured out the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han Tzu Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hi, I've been playing this hack, and I think it's wonderful, but I've noticed in version 3, Tale 2, every time I move all of my units except Lucius, my turn ends anyway. I can still move Lucius normally, as long as he's not last, and it can probably be avoided by turning off autoend turns, but it might be worth looking into. Also, something funny has happened to me in Karel's tale, where after defeating group of bandits in Ilia, all the portraits disappear. Also, the bars that display behind the stats also disappear, as well as movement ranges and map actions like vulnerary use. Battle still proceeds normally, and it went away when I fought Gigais the second time. Just some stuff to look at, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Try looking at the layers option on VBA? You might have turned off one or two of them accidentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Prasad is going to try and murder Lyn! Good thing for wild mass guessing to start just as early as mistake reports. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 No way, he's gonna try and hit on her/rape her! :U That totally fits his character more than killing her. Of course, that might be the second choice of action once he fails to do the former, since he obviously will :V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I kinda liked old Prasad better. Yay FE5 moments though. It's probably just something with how the fog pallete was though, rather than the floor tileset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feaw Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hate to say it, but that palette is the ewwwwws... Also don't really like Prasad's new hair. Rest's good tho. Can't wait to see more 3x (or anything else). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) Prasad is an improvement in nearly every way, so yeah, I think you're the only one. 3x is really more about him than it is Rath... I certainly don't miss Velimir at all. He was one of Nayr's OCs for an Elibe-hack he was planning, and I just didn't have freedom to take the character in the direction I wanted to go because of Nayr's own conflicting ideas.
