There are 14 villages on the map. They can be visited in any order you wish, and all events are tied to the number of villages you’ve visited. Therefore, you as the player can directly control the rate of events in the game. You can route it to get very strong weapons from one of the two secret shops before Narcian even appears, or you could recruit the 2 secret characters. You have more control over the game than you most likely realize.
Hey I’m trying to patch onto my FE 7 (U) rom with multi patch but it won’t patch. Do I need to a PAL rom or some community made file to patch it properly?
-Villages can be still visited even after being destroyed (Although you’ll get the bad ending)
-Lyn has canto (? I’m not sure if this is an error or if blade lords are supposed to have canto, it seemed strange regardless.)
-Murdok’s team/squad does not have weapons (Again, don’t know if this was intentional, but it seems very strange.)
-Hector’s ability is highly exploitable [details=Exploit/spolier]The player can visit 1 town, and then grind on the boss and his hero friend till reaching level 20, this also puts the boss at a very low amount of health, so when the level needs to end he only has about 5 hp.
Version 2.2 now exists and addresses (most of) these issues
-Durandal was a bug, fixed
-Lyn having canto was a bug, fixed
-Murdock’s team not having weapons was my own forgetfulness, fixed
-Summons have been given different possible weapon options + summoning now only gives 1 exp, so it would take 10 times as long to exploit it in the way you pointed out
As for villages, there’s a specific flag that gets set whenever any village gets destroyed that forces the bad ending, so even though you can visit them when destroyed it will still give you the bad ending as intended; at the same time the event ID for the village visit is supposed to be set but also there are 14 versions of the event and in the state I have the hack currently going through and changing them all is a pain so because it works the way it was intended even though visiting destroyed villages is unintended I’m just going to leave it as-is plus my personal favorite bit of flavor text is in the village that’s most likely to get destroyed so I’m okay with you always being able to see it
