Can you send over a savestate shortly before that happens? That way we can fix it.

Does Heath show up at all if he isn’t paired with Priscilla?

Made some good progress today, putting a dent in the old bug fixing log.

There have been a few attempts to reboot EN since its cancellation in 2019, either through a port to FE8 using buildfiles or by trying to resurrect the project by shifting to FEBuilder.

I’ve given up on both and decided that I’m just gonna stick with what I know: the boomer hacking method. It was actually pretty fun to crack open FEditor/Nightmare/EA/GBAGE/etc. and spend a day working on this again.

We’ll see how far it goes. But hey, I even got the Bonus Content screen to load! That’s probably the first time that thing has been successfully booted up in years (apparently there was one unit that when loaded causes the game to freeze). I’ve got a functional/editable version of the Tale Select code up and running.

My goal is to get a stable version, but also to make a few technical and aesthetic improvements.

Credits to @L95, @HyperGammaSpaces, @Autonima, @Levin64, and @Frigid for their work on the new mugshots.

We must go back to the past to undo the future that is Aku.

Mega special thanks to @HyperGammaSpaces for working through the process to remove ye olde FEditor CSA 1.0 and upgrade Elibean Nights to run the modern CSA, made by @circleseverywhere and ported to FE7 by @7743. And also thank you to @SHYUTERz for recreating the Apocalypse animation!

When I was a kid just starting on this project, the idea of importing a spell animation from another FE game was impossible. I remember many years ago the first documented attempt to port Apocalypse to FE7, so this has a bit of sentimental meaning to me as well. The future is crazy y’all.

Holy shit. The future of hacking is now.

Ooh, I love Apocalypse. IMO, it does the black hole thing the best out of all the dark spells.

For years, I’ve gotten complaints from more fans than I can count about one of the EN cast’s biggest exclusions. “How could you forget him?”

The people have been clamoring, but I left their cries unanswered.

The most important character in FE6 was nowhere to be found!

But no more.

That’s right.

He’s finally making an appearance after all of these years.
