Ironically this was actually inspired by the effort posts about maps because I was thinking of my favorite set pieces across romhack maps. My brain quickly went to Code of the Burger King ch18 but I realized it was mostly for maybe the most creative romhack character of all time.
…samto from fe3
but in uh Code of the Burger King
For context this hack is a mega inflation fest and here’s a boss right next to samto right after recruitment. This is also potentially the second to last map in the game.
Let’s see his stats vs a boss like 8 tiles away from him.
Not looking great.
However what samto lacks in base stats he makes up for in POTENTIAL. While his growths are also impressive, that’s not his real potential.
Sure they’re big but his level and time left means a 6 move footie is doing jack shit for you in a really power crept game even if he had better stats.
Samto has the power of multiple potential recruitments.
He has a recruitment conversation with every single character in Code of the Burger King. Even the summons from the potential 2 summoners.
Each is unique.
Each recruitment conversation has its own event that can impact Samto or the person recruiting Samto.
Some Examples
Turning into a fleet (the only fleet in the game)
Turning to stone
Stealing someone’s provoke skill
Giving out a prf to a pre-existing unit
Handing out Wrath/Vantage (cringe default skill sys wrath though)
Get a second dancer why not.
And plenty more that’s just such bewilderingly cool effort and flavor by Retina. Although in a funny/ironic twist Burger King (main lord)/Sephiran (main sublord)/Fiona (your jagen) don’t give any effect or unique eventing even if they have their own convo and are the first 3 in the list.
Uh, pretty aggressive 180 from my other post but hey it’s a unit I love.
