Flying Shogi Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Well, now you know. But yeah, I never knew this existed until I gave the Configuration tab a more detailed examination.

FalconVegeta1986 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Alright, i'm curious. Where are you seeing this at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Shogi Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 It's under Configurations. The very last option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Yeah, I noticed this pretty early on. I think players familiar with FE7/8 might not catch on, but FE6 was my first FE so it wasn't a surprising option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Yeah... I, uh, noticed this back in '04. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popo Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 What exactly is the expected result? All I see at the bottom is an option to change the window color. Is that what you meant? >o< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconVegeta1986 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Is this something that's japan-only? I'm just not seeing an option for this in the translation. All I see is the window color option. EDIT: OK, nevermind the japan thing, i'm just stupid. Still, I do not see this option.

Basically every ally unit has a blue characeter palette. Lemme upload a pic. Hmm. I fired up all my GBA games, and all of them show "custom" pallets, for lack of a better word. (As in, they aren't blue unless they were designed to be blue.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I could probably have picked a better unit to showcase it, but the only two in range of enemies at the moment are Noah and Marcus and Noah's palette is standard ally blue anyway.

None of my games have that menu option, not even FE6. >o< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Must be a version thing, I guess. I know I've neither seen it nor heard of it in FE7 or 8. EDIT: oo oi, it's on Serenes lol It's a game completion bonus, apparently. Edited February 7, 2012 by Integrity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darros Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) I'm pretty sure you need to beat the game once first. It wasn't there the first time I played FE6 but it is now. INTEG! Edited February 7, 2012 by Knuckles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It's really not much of a bonus. Why would anyone want to use the same generic palette for all of the characters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darros Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Because some palettes look dumb. Personally, I'm not a fan of Banana Lugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeCrush980 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It's an option on my FE6 ROM but not my FE7 or FE8 carts, which have both been completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It's an option on my FE6 ROM but not my FE7 or FE8 carts, which have both been completed. This feature is only available in FE6, although there may have been a hack to reenable it in FE7. Wow, it's been so long since I played FE6 that I forgot the option's not there from the start o__o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBHood217 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 This feature is only available in FE6, although there may have been a hack to reenable it in FE7. I did notice a Rebecca with blue clothes in FE7's class roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deranger Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 IS was really to lazy to make Percival a palette that remotely matched his mug, so they just made him generic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 IS was really to lazy to make Percival a palette that remotely matched his mug, so they just made him generic? Dunno, I've never used Percival with animations on. Hell, I was surprised to learn that Marcus' palette was GLORIOUS PURPLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaggle of Geese Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I was wondering if anyone would point out that you only get this option once you beat the game. I think the real explanation is that it's there for nostalgia purposes. In the first FE's, all allied characters had the blue pallette, regardless of portrait, etc. I think FE6 is kind of supposed to be a "return to the roots" kind of thing. After all, it has: --A Lord with a Rapier that doesn't promote (until late in the game--and even then he hardly changes) --A Jeigan character, Christmas knights, an archer, and an armor knight in the first chapter --No objectives besides seizing gates/thrones --No cantoing There are probably more things I haven't thought of. These features made me think they were trying to capture the feel of the older games a bit. The blue pallette may have been there as a little bonus to capture that feel better.

FalconVegeta1986 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I think somewhere round here is a topic discussing various similarities between FE1 and 6. Alot of the portraits in FE6 look like re-makes of certain FE1 characters. Why the hell am I still tracking this thread anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much exactly what I felt the feature was meant to invoke. Personally, I didn't know about this and I find it kinda neat. I wish there were more slight nuances like these for post-game content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
