FAQs
>Is this hack finished?
As far as I'm aware, no. The creator is hard at work on it, however.
>Are there any other hacks worth playing?
Most hacks are WIP in perpetuity. Those that aren't are largely just lazy art swaps(like Tales of the Emblem), or are hilariously bad rewrites(like MK404 emblem). Then there's horrible, HORRIBLE hacks that had potential(the last promise), or are just bad(gheb). I don't really recommend any other hacks that I've actually played, with a single exception: Order of the Crimson Arm, AKA tacthack. It's got fantastic writing, fantastic spritework, great characters, and awesome maps.
>What's the best starting point for Fire Emblem?
blazing sword(Fire Emblem) or the Sacred stones are both fantastic starting points.
>Can I get a DL link for THIS hack?
Currently, no. I was granted permission to demo this while the perfectionist creator puts the finishing touches on it.
>What happened to Gheb?
First off, fuck you. Second off: only on weekend nights where I have days off.
(terry is the name of her pegasus, as far as I can tell)
Capitalism is evil. All anime should be burned.
That previous chapter doesn't look like it would be fun to lp anyway.

Whitney is cute! Cute!
oh hey, this guy's alive.
You ever gonna lighten up on me, dude?
I gotta say, I like these unit looks.
>FE8 beasts
neat
Oh snap that's cool.
lorepost: dale's full name is dale murderhawk.
Any party changes?
>Garfield Emblem
Maybe you should call it Dark Lord and the Maiden of Light in the thread title. Garfield Emblem sounds silly to me.
>Four swords including lord
Who should get benched?
Looks like I need the thief this chapter.
To be fair, you tend to get a lot of one weapon type early on before it tapers off after a while. This is very much the case in official games and romhacks (and no Tacthack had a lot of lance users in the beginning)
you have no idea how frustrating it was to put their dumb awoos in the game.
Bench either Shermie or Horton.
Bench shermie for hyle
hey, devanon.
QQ: Would you rather I call it a different name in the OP name, or is garfield emblem alright?
garfield emblem is a little misleading. i noticed a few people come in expecting a comedy hack or something and feel blueballed. so i think it would be better if you just called it by it's actual name like that other user said.
fair enough.
I don't actually know if I'm going to do a full playthrough - not because there's anything wrong with the game, but because it doesn't seem to have quite the same interest in other hacks.
wheres garfield the cat
oh yeah, he's 'just a historian'.
this man is history
this feels so wrong.
do as you will. if people would rather see you play gheb and die from alcohol poisoning, that's their business.
why do none of my lords get to go fast?
I found a 3edgy5me hack that I was thinking about doing.
That said, I don't have any problems with this hack - it actually feels like it might be a lost FE game.
>Garfield emblem
>no garfielf
I want my money back
This seems unfair.
This guy is the true nig of the map
making my way up the map.
I'm assuming inside is a fuckton more enemies.
tact said that too. as for the generic mage animation, that's just a placeholder. eventually i'll have something more unique along with a map sprite but animations are hard and take time. spoiler though, i use lyon's sprite for the promoted class for the tactician just like tact. i made the female necromancer animation also.
Crazy axeman is fast.
still no lord speed...
how hard is it to make animations?
far as I can tell, only the lord can damage him with his rapier.
Use the armorslayer
...what?
It's a massive pain in the ass.
>general has access to Warp
oh boy, more heresy
guess who has it?
>sage as boss of chapter 6
wat.
the process of animating the sprites themselves is actually pretty easy. hack technology has increased since i started this project and it is easier than ever. the hard part is making the sprites. since i'm not talented at all in regards to spriting, i have to just edit existing sprites but that in and of itself is a tedious process as well.
hoo ha
that's clearly not a sage.
>General using magic
danger
Imagine living your whole life graduating from a magic academy and coming out looking like this
ooooh
you ever play that japanese hack starring lyn's daughter? lot of early game promoted bosses with those kinds of stats.
YE(E)T
So how does this rank as far as hacks go? I played Last Promise and Tacthack and didn't find either particularly good but I'm willing to give anything a shot.
nope
this one feels like an actual FE game.
oh hey, it's the waifu again.
you should try it one day. probably not the best thing to let's play since it is in japanese but it is my favorite FE romhack.
>thousand-year-old dragon priestess is a waifu
of course she is.
>dark dragon at fault
i don't require any 1000 year old men
She's fucking crazy and a believer in race wars
so do the Ahribaalites conduct child hunts?
sounds like Nosferatu.
But that is LIGHT in 9!
Here comes number 2 waifu, a skeleton
well, it isn't beneath them. also some of your commentary is hilarious. for reasons i refuse to explain.
>be a light tome called rezire for years that steal HP
>it's cool
>dark tome that does the same thing
>it's heresy
nice bias
>raised dogmatically, but she's tharja crossed with tomoko
Any party changes?
endgame spoilers:
I had my coworker yesterday tell me NO SPOILERS FOR ENDGAME, then a moment later, as I was eating, say "Iron Man better not die..."
How are Dale and Hyle doing?
How is tits mcgee back
I'd say replace Dale with Francine
Nice trips
what?
endgame spoilerfags are silly
Any other changes?
Dale's 3 5s
Also
I have been wondering about this hack, have you seen anything unique about the hack yet?
Or have we not gotten to the "good stuff" yet
lvl 7 77 xp
I'm told it gets better after yesterday's chapter.
there's two different sort of armorknight and 8's beasts. Otherwise, thus far, not really.
considering the format of your threads and how alot of the content won't be seen unless you stream it, people will most likely feel disconnected from the game.
especially when they've never played it before and don't know what happend/what they can expect, unlike all the other games you've played before
which also makes people less likely to follow along if they missed a thread and don't want to spoil themselves
streaming, especially as much as I used to, just isn't feasible right now. If you've seen my gheb streams, you know how shitty my computer is for trying to stream.
plus, thus far, there's been no stand-out music(I think everything's been either a reused track from other FE or just generic stuff.
The only unique classes I've shown.
alright, guess we're good to go?
>fog of war
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
It ain't a snow chapter; you'll be fine
...when?
WELL
>comes off the bench
>immediate crit
SHERMIE IS CUT
CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
split up my army into two groups.
off screen because i thought it would flow better
>siege magic in a fog of war
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
IRON
SHERMIE
>no healer on one side
>fielded two healers
nigga
10 tho
no I didn't.
I benched one.
Now we know one of the lords is gonna die; the thief got STR
rare level.
I fucking hate siege magic.
Green Hair chicks make everything more tolerable.
YEET
>statistically similar to clarine
>keeps getting mag
rng, man.
SHE'S FAT
>you gonna slap their shit?
good.
>why do you even have a shrine dedicated to an evil af book?
we recruiting the heretic?
is this another
>yune is the goddess of chaos but she's not actually evil because ashera is a true neutral monster who's happy to commit total genocide because they have emotion
thing again?
some under the hood gameplay stuff. you can miss recruiting her. the thing that opens up her recruitment is orion engaging her in a fight.
impossible to not hear this voice.
>dat beard
>dat nose
>dese beady eyes
>the ENEMY broke the legendary weapon
kek
i love your guesses
Best Dad award
she's a qt
...that's a girl?
I didn't think so.
>a psychotic killer who lives for nothing but murder, and a softie pretty child who they have a soft spot for
HMMMMMMMMMMMM
>Dooj
So, are we gonna run into Frooj later?
no one's gonna get that joke.
nig's dad...is white.
BLEACHED
You know what? I bet he's got dat deiah revitillago, which is da opposit of dat thing dat michael jackson had.
Just means he has brown fever
And I mean, brown anime waifus are usually top tier
Forgot to take a screenshot, but devanon, if you're in here, 'moral' is different from 'morale'.
You keep using 'moral' when you meant to say 'morale'.
The lord has good morals - he fights for what's right.
Having a priestess along will be good for morale.
Just wait for it's uses to run out
That is what happen last chapter, yes?
Any party changes?
Looks good
Poor Horton
yeah i've been watching the whole time, thanks. to be honest, one of my biggest weaknesses for this project is grammar so catching stuff like this helps me out.
I've never heard of anyone named 'emma'
Stop that
must be a hidden character
>this is nig's waifu
???
I think she might have severe autism
DUCK ORION
i know my last post was about grammar problems but anything shermie says that looks wrong is intentional since she is an idiot.
>just lucius' sprite but in black
I'm laughing out loud.
>11 spd
>12 def
Holy FUCK
it actually isn't. it's a female monk sprite edit someone made. though granted, it is very similar to the original. since well, lucius's sprite is the basis.
>first battle is a crit
She's a genius!
BEND OVER, I'M GOING IN DRY
shortbows in this game are basically bow wo daos. high crit and only archer and sniper classes can use them. it is kind of ironic nomads are in this and can't use them when in the original FE7, shortbows are stated to be bows created by nomads. also longbows are limited to archers/snipers as well.
This is a goop level!
Making my way deeper into the castle.
YEET
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
MY FUCKING BOAT
oh hey you found the secret killer axe. i didn't catch your thread the other day so yeah.
wrong berserker
she gives zero apparent fucks.
>N-word
Literally why? I feel alienated from this thread just because I'm black when I wanted to enjoy some fire emblem.
In this thread we're all black.
Here she is, number 1 waifu
clearly, the dark mage is from the south.
Never trust a man with a hat
wren is a very curious character to balance with her bases. in previous tests she was flat out broken. in this version she has been kneecapped by comparison but with her bases, i think she starts out with a solid foundation.
oh~ my~
top qt
child hunts!
>they're actually doing child hunts
goddamnit I was half joking.
>tactician
>the one person who should do everything he says ignores his commands
WOULD you follow my orders?
meidos are mysterious creatures
...speaking of manster, would people actually be interested if I were to try a blind run of FE4?
I really, REALLY don't like kaga jank.
and that does it for tonight.
G'night all!
dev user, how many chapters is this hack?
I need to do FE4 at some point as well, You did get the re-translation patch, right?
I don't have any ROM of it at all.
there are 27 chapters. but there is a small amount of gaidens and a few chapters are multipart like oliver's chapter in PoR.
I'm so tired of this fucking speech.
people are sticking it on fucking speedruns, as though those don't require a shitton of effort to pull off.
Nig doesn't reset the game, does he?
i just like a good shitpost sometimes
Only one time the speech really rings at me was the XCOM Council man spoke it in that twitter post. It was kind of impressive.
The rest? Please, for the love of god, keep it to a minimum.
it super depends.
generally for threads I do ironman, but I was resetting while dealing with the bullshit of 5, and usually when I play my own personal runs I reset.
that guy is a regular in these threads
27 total with how many gaidens?
there are four gaidens. not too many.
>SRPG maker is on sale
If I made a fucking awful romhack full of memes and references like Pokemon Clover but actually tried to make the maps and balance decent would you faggots play it?
I meant game made with SRPG maker, not romhack, fuck.
i might take a look i guess
