What are your favorite Fire Emblem romhacks?

Andaron Saga

>>719655667
This hack fucking sucks

Dark Stone

Too lazy to update the chart and some of the roms here are probably outdated, fair warning.

>>719656904
Dangerously based.
How's Eligor's Spear?

>>719655576 (OP)
Cerulean Crescent. The gameplay may or may not be to everyone's preference (lots of overpowered skills, even misery mode which I played is not that difficult) but it has better writing than most actual FE games and tries to be its own thing rather than cargo culting FE and making something worse in every way.

I've also played TLP, it's not really fun outside of some hilarious cutscenes. I also tried Hag in White, it sucks despite people saying it was good so I dropped it and haven't bothered to play any more romhacks. There isn't much appeal playing something which allegedly has interesting difficulty or whatever if it has shitty fanfiction writing and I can't bond with the characters at all.

>>719657339
Anything with injected faggotry is shitty from the get-go.

>>719657472
Your loss, there's a large roster so I just benched the DEI characters

>>719655576 (OP)
the morrows golden country though the creator only added the faggotry to appeal to feu

he actually hates his trans devs

>>719657673
>>719657707
I have enough fehacks to keep me busy for a while. Faghacks are always a waste of time.

>>719657707
K then where is his unpozzed version?

>>719657707
source and proofs?

>>719655667
Stop shilling this slop, nigger.

>>719657032
hard to the point it's not fun

>>719655576 (OP)
Besides what's in your pic, Drums of War.
The gameplay is simple without either being simplistic or going full 3 skills per character retardation.
What it does with some classes is pretty interesting, like tankier Heroes or slow Snipers that hit like trucks.
The maps are pretty good with each hving some kind of gimmick and side objectives.
The story is pretty good, reminded me of Tactics Ogre.
Some of the portraits are a bit shit though, you can see the artist's progression spliced portraits that look good to overdetailed portraits made from scratch that look like ass.
The guy who made it later finished Dream of Five which was sadly less interesting.

>>719661859
isn't drum of war gae

>>719663670
Yeah

>>719657339

>eligor's spear mentioned
Fuck Eligor's Spear. Kaizo hack bullshit. I don't care that they apparently got the new "easy" route added in, game sux and that's that.
Midori is also a Kaizo hack but at least it impressively has working Thracia skills and a handful of Thracia mechanics.

Marriage with Marianne!

>>719655576 (OP)
Immortal sword even if it is half complete.

/v/ needs a "general thread outside /vg/" report option so I can report the threads that get linked here

>>719655576 (OP)
Need to add a category for redux/overhauls or maybe just for Scared Stones since that's the gba game that seems to have the most hacks.

>>719673476
Sacred stones is faggot shit

>>719672389
That’s a problem with puzzle emblem in general.

>>719672389
>Kaizo hack
I find it hilarious that the term 'kaizo' has come to mean 'asshole-ish difficulty' in western communities when the word 'kaizou' literally just means 'modify' in Japanese.

>>719674386
I blame Kaizo Mario.

Would you consider yourself a FE fan?
If so, then what draws you to FE?

Doesn't look like her.
Looks more like a pirate.

Damn slow day today. We really need a new announcement

>>719680221
This is what normal FE thread activity would look like if there were no schizos samefagging.

>>719680221
let it die
we don't need constant threads

>>719680221
Every thread right now are cancer circlejerks so no one wants to post.

>>719677140
That is a very good summary of what I enjoy about the games, particularly:
>building units and a team over time
I seriously don't get juggernautfags. Shit is so fucking boring compared to making a whole squad of wargods.

>>719655667
>Made for the traditional Fire Emblem fan, particularly those who have felt left behind by the series' new direction post-Awakening
>Look up screenshot's to the hack
>See this

I get the feeling this hack is most likely not at all worth trying.

>>719676280
Yes
In addition to what >>719677140 and >>719680685 said I have a habit of coming up with little emergent storylines when I play these games. It's fun to make up little narratives for a specific character based on what happens to them and how they perform.

>>719657339
This is the best romhack I've ever played, the gameplay was tailor made for my tastes.

>>719680783
The hell is with that chick’s wrist? I thought it was a drill arm at first.

>>719681000
i think they might be bandages but idk

>>719680685
I don't know how you can't understand them when you're doing the same thing but with 20 characters instead of one.

>>719657707
I'm kinda mixed on tmgc. The gameplay is really boring on any difficulty under lunatic and even on Lunatic it sometimes is just meh, though usually it will be pretty good.
The character sprites range from fine to hideous and I really do not care for the pronouns thing.
Story is ok, but really overrated imo. I kept seeing it praised but it's pretty damn standard. In comparison, people kept sitting on Andaron Saga but honestly the story in it is way better, as are the characters.

>>719656904
Thanks, king.

>>719657339
cerulean crescent writing was so bad I skipped every scene with the lord in it by the end

>>719681864
Disingenuous retard

>>719681946
you have genuinely no taste if you could tolerate any scene with ellerie for more than 5 seconds

>>719681946
How do you know he's being disingenuous? Maybe you can call him a retard if the story is that good but nothing in his post implies disingenuity. Third person observer by the way, never played CC.

>>719681946
I dropped CC after chapter 1 for gameplay reasons but the writing was unappealing also.

Look into mirror lil bro. Your game is just trash.

>>719680783
He's says post Awakening but the game is more like Thracia with 3ds skills and a Game of Thrones plot. I don't know why he's trying to bait the boomers like that but the game can't really be called traditional, it's a mix of the old and new.

>>719655576 (OP)
Last Promise cuz I only beat that.
I got through the majority of Requiem and like around halfway through Vision Quest I think before I burnt myself out on both

>>719681112
The gameplay of The Mega Gay Crew seems to devolve into rocket tag in lategame, and I just don't wanna do that anymore. I yearn for the old days where skills were simple and minimal/not there.

What other hacks other than this and OCA has an avatar and lets me plap my cousin?

Cutesythea

>>719686038
Oddly, I think it's still just those two. Hackers don't seem to be too keen on avatars, strangely opposite of the modern FE trend.

>>719686657
Not weird.
Romhacks is where jadded oldfags go and make "real" Fire Emblems.
Makes you wonder why they bother with casual mode or easier difficulty settings in that case.

>>719686657
It's mainly because having avatars requires using FE7 as a base when FE8 has the most documentation and support these days. FE8 doesn't have the code for custom name entry which allows for a custom tactician like FE7 does.

>>719688283
The jaded oldfag romhacks are not that common at all. It's why you see all these romhacks with skill bloat and casual mode, it's just the easiest way for any FE fan to make their own FE, old or nu.

>>719688819
I'm sure one autistic guy who really wanted to could figure out a way to use the link arena team name text entry to rename one of the characters

>>719689703
I'm honestly surprised no one's made a patch for FEBuilder or some kind of assembly script that lets you do that.

>>719688819
Lex Taliones has it at least.

The nip hacks such as Midori and Sword of Heaven and Earth.

i can play all of these on my flashcart right?

>>719692574
Not an expert, but I would assume the ones made with the GBA FE engines and within their limitations could probably do it.
I think a few hacks use different engines that let them go beyond the limitations of GBA games, which would likely not work?
It's just a guess.

>>719692112
How much documentation is out there for LT?
I've only ever seen one manual/wiki thing that didn't really explain a whole lot.

Thoughts?

>>719692852
There is enough for a basic romhack.
A few other stuff you will need discord support.
Its very easy to use. What holds me back is I'm not good at map design.
The nameable thing was a code I was shared there for example.

>>719693175
That's what I was thinking.
Neat feature there though with the level-up dialogue. How active is their discord? I may look into LT when I have some more time to work on romhacks. FEBuilder is what I've been using, it's nice but it has some quirks and limitations.
I still suck at map design too, and that won't change it though desu

>>719693726
Yeah that was also shared on the discord.
They respond regularly and even have dedicated channel for questions and stuff.
Its worth a shot. I tried to get into FEB but too complicated for me.

Also they shared the code for class change dialogue.

>>719693860
>>719694094
Nice Mia there.
I'll definitely check it out then, thanks anon. I'm not great with computer code, but I can usually figure it out with some guidance.

>>719694094
>>719693860
>>719693175
Is there any Lex Talionis project you'd recommend playing?
I've seen the LT FE7 which seems pretty cool but unfinished and the LT FE8 which takes stat inflation to a whole new level of retardation. Both also seem heavy on skill bullshit. Personal skill, 2 skills per class for a total of 5 skills per character is kind of absurd imo. I prefer when it's like in Vestaria/Berwick/Tearring where every character gets like 3 skills they learn through level-up, rather than all the Generals getting Pavise and Wary Fighter.
But what are the really good LT fangames out there?

Embrace of the Fog is an FE roguelike where you run through a relatively short 4-act campaign over and over; earning currencies with which you summon characters and acquire upgrades, playing through random events, and trying to break the game with the many variety of units and skills at your disposal.

>>719684538
It's weird because the game starts off pretty light on skills and super weapons but then just goes full on bullshit mode.
However, I actually love hacks like that, so I don't mind it at all. The only problem is when the enemies can't keep up with your bs, which at least Lunatic helps fixing.
