Another FE8 PME (Submissions open!)

[Thegis]

I’ve been seeing a few PME topics around here, and I figured this would be a good way to get back into FE hacking - took a pretty long break and needed something simple to get back into working on my personal projects.

Was planning on taking a few patches in for this as well - S/M split, and probably SkillSystems (just the FEBuilder latest patch one, I’m not too experienced with making custom builds for that.) I’ll be adding a spreadsheet with some growth changes/etc. that I was planning to use as a starting off-point, with the list of skills in the system in case you’re not familiar with the base engine.

Planned features:

Strength/Magic split

(please make sure to submit both str/mag growths if you’re planning on submitting a character, be funny and make a merc with 50% magic growth, the only thing stopping you is a tier list of this game putting that in the “well…” tier)

Skills

Nothing too unbalanced, this game will need to be playtested at some point

Anyways, if you’d like to contribute a character, it’d be easiest for me if you filled out this template - hopefully this can get some traction!

Name:

Replacing character:
I’m intending on only doing Eirika’s route, at least to start - and listing more characters to replace in case the first is taken would make it easier to fit in if I haven’t edited the main post yet.
Class:
No monster classes please, and try and replace a promoted character with another promoted one, as well as unpromoted with unpromoted.

[Thegis]

oh yeah, probably should have clarified those are free game too

lmao go nuts

[MeatOfJustice]

Were Crit Boost and Summon removed from their original classes?

[TheEmeraldKing267]

Wait how many units are we allow to submit each day?

[Thegis]

Summon wasn’t, I just forgot to list it with summoner

Crit boost I replaced with the -faire skills for consistency purposes, think I should switch them back?

[MeatOfJustice]

Not necessarily, but if you want consistency then I’d replace Astra.

[TheEmeraldKing267]

So what you are saying that I can only one playable character submission one pre day but i can just go all crazy with all of the boss characters edits?

[Thegis]

preferably just one a day overall

Gonna be working on updating the topic as I work tonight/tomorrow, been busy with my job these past few days.

Don’t forget to call your dad today, everyone.

2 Questions

1. Is this pme gonna be balanced around a particular difficulty or not
2. Any skills restricted or banned from being picked or is it free reign

[Thegis]

1. Probably around normal, but I’ll try and make difficult playable without it being too busted
2. Free reign, but eventually I’ll need to go through at some point and balance the game, so some super broken things might need to be toned down. Stuff like Galeforce, any of the + skills that come with the engine, the stuff that just doesn’t work would probably be better off avoided, unless you’ve got something pretty cool in mind
