[FE6] [COMPLETE] Fire Emblem: Lyn's Bizarre Adventure PME v1.0

[ATHATH]

Ah, darn, I hadn’t seen this earlier.

If you haven’t started the hack itself yet, you might be able to ask Adthor if you can use FE6 Bugfix Edition (FE6 BugFixEdition (9/3/2022 - Silence "fix" fixed)) as a base. It removes ambush spawns (except in ch. 21), removes player HMBs, and fixes that AI quirk that causes enemy staffers to mostly prioritize deployment order. I believe the additions from Mekkah’s fe6 run should be available as their own patches, which you could then add on top?

Enemies don’t drop items in vanilla fe6, so you might need to ask Vesly(?) for whatever patch they used to let items drop in their fe6 randomizer.

I’m not certain that fe6 hacking supports individual wEXP assignments per weapon; you may need to just flatly double wEXP across the board or something.

Slot: Jahn
Name: Nergal
Gender: M
Class: Dark Druid (base stats, stat caps, class growths, and animations directly backported from fe7)
Alt. Class: DruidM
Alt. Alt. Class: Dark Druid w/ DruidM stats (if the Dark Druid statline is too much/makes him too annoying to kill)
Affinity: None
Portrait:

(not nergal’s vanilla fe7 portrait!)
Sadly, I don’t think fe6 uses blinking frames, but they’re in there anyway just in case.

Description: Somehow, Nergal returned.
Battle Quote:
vs. Lyn (copied from fe7):
Nergal: Little girl from Sacae… You’d do well to vanish. One such as you is no match for me.
Lyn: The nomads of the plains do not abandon their fellow tribespeople. Eliwood and Hector are my dear friends… Their sorrow is my sorrow. Their anger is my anger.
Nergal: Pah…
Lyn: Nergal! In my friends’ names, I will cut you down!

vs. Hector (copied from fe7):
Hector: Nergal!
Nergal: I cannot understand you, Hector of Ostia. Why would you do all this for Eliwood? Is this miserable thing called friendship worth dying for?
Hector: I don’t expect you to understand. You’ve forgotten what it means to be human! Nergal! My connection to you… It’s over! I’m finishing everything up right here!!

vs. Anna (original):
Nergal: Ah, it’s YOU. You vex me so, shopkeeper. You rejected an offer from the most powerful man in Elibe, and instead threw yourself at the feet of these pathetic wretches. Why?
Anna: I’m sure it would’ve been fun, but you didn’t have a member card. It’s company policy, sorry!
Nergal: Hmph. I’m quite certain that you’re not sorry at all… But you’re about to be.
(note: this battle convo might need to be changed if Anna is not actually tied to the member card in this hack)

vs. Any (first two sentences copied from fe7, rest are original):
Nergal: Be prepared. You are to be witness to a power that overwhelms all! I am at my apex! Legendary weapons… Blatant steroid abuse… FRIENDSHIP… None of them can save you! And now that the old FOOL is DEAD, there is NO ONE who can bail you out! This time, I will CRUSH YOU LIKE THE INSECTS YOU ARE! I WILL FEAST ON YOUR QUINTESSENCE! I WILL REMAKE YOU JUST SO THAT I CAN KILL YOU AGAIN! AHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Death Quote (first two sentences copied from fe7, rest are original)
Why? Why must I lose? My plans came to fruition… I had everything… Magic… Dragons… There was no power left to gain… And yet… I’ve lost… How…? … How?! … HOW?! … … … How…?

Inventory:
Irkalla (not dropped, name is a reference to Ereshkigal’s namesake):
Dark S | Mt – | Hit 195(!) | Wt 12 (8 if using DruidM stats) | Rng 1-10 (or 1-2 if this is impossible) | Uses –
Reduces enemy HP to 1. Cannot double. Can counter/be countered.

Note that, while being unable to double (and killing targets who are at 1 HP) is vanilla fe6 Eclipse behavior, provoking counters/being able to counter isn’t, and you’ll need to set that with a certain flag (er, with the absence of a certain flag).

Boon: SPD (or LCK if he’s using Dark Druid stats and thus caps SPD at base)
Bane: MAG

It is funny to see him when we have ephidel too.

[ATHATH]

Yeah, Ephidel being the Brunnya replacement was why I picked Nergal for the Jahn replacement.

[Shamiyama]

hahahaha i see that is fair

[Shamiyama]

also what else is funny is that there is also a character who even in lore looks identical to Ephidel and is a monk who uses both light and dark magic hahahaha

@ATHATH Thanks for the submission and tips! Lemme answer some of your questions too;

• I’m using Mekkah’s patch as it already has the working HP Bars without a visual glitch that happens in the status screen otherwise. I believe it would be an easy fix, but as I said in the OP it’s because it’s both ready to play and I wanted to also give a shoutout to Mekkah and his entertaining HM run.
  I can still use that Adthor’s bug fix hack as a reference to help with the ambush spawns and the AI fix, but I’ll leave the recruitable HMBs alone however, since I know a lot of people love it.

• I already implemented the droppable items patch, and it works 100%.

• I noticed the wEXP thing too, I’ll make some announcements as the days passes talking about the hack’s progress and I’ll talk about it as well ty.

• About Nergal, I’ve already got to the safe limit of classes and I can’t add anymore, to be sure that everything in FE6 works correctly without exploding in my face lol, so I’ll need to have Nergal be a Druid instead if it’s alright. Rest is all good and I’ll see if I’m able to make Irkalla work as you wish!

• Oh one more thing, I’ll rewrite a tad bit all the references to vanilla FE7 since this is supposed to be an alternative continuity of sorts, just clarifying if you notice that it’s different in the hack’s release.

That’s that! Cheers.

[ATHATH]

Oh, forgot to mention, Adthor’s bugfix edition also corrects the error that doubles HMBs for the first 5 maps (and produces fe6’s crushing early game difficulty).

And yeah, DruidM + the minor rewrite is fine.

[ATHATH]

Say, is there any particular reason why the member card isn’t allowed to be available before ch. 16? I get why the white gem, silver card, etc. are banned, but the member card can’t be used for anything before ch. 16 anyway. It could be a fitting item for Anna (or the Zelot replacement who hired Anna)?

And, just to check, are there any class/gender combinations that went unused that could be swapped for a Dark Druid? IIRC, vanilla fe6 doesn’t use MercenaryF, CavalierF, or PaladinF, and I assume that at least one class/gender pair for the classes you added hasn’t been taken by someone yet.

Re: The alternate timeline: Maybe Nergal (and/or one of his minions) is the reason why this alternate timeline exists? Replacing Jahn gives him several monologues in a row, and that might be something to fill them with.

[anon72503772]

@ATHATH

• The Member Card will be given to Makalov II, Narcian’s replacement, as his droppable item.
  Same chapter 16 so works perfectly.

• I’ll make sure that every class will appear even as an enemy generic depending. MercenaryF, Sword CavalierF and PaladinF were already taken as playables too. All classes slots are already implemented, there’s really nothing that I can do to implement more classes so as to not force FE6 any more than necessary.

• That’s very interesting food for thought, I’ll see what I can do as I’ll need to focus calm and collected when writing the dialogue and story bits.

[Shamiyama]

[Totoques22]

@anon72503772

Yeah, in fact he doesn’t really need to be the throne boss so I was actually thinking of putting a generic armor enemy in the throne while he stays next to it and set to move in range. Hope you like this idea.

that would be perfect

[Shamiyama]

Stupid question for the Galle one. Doesn’t Galle start in the mountains so will he not be stuck there? or am i misremembering?

[Totoques22]

Im pretty sure garret start in a mountain too, anyway the spawn placement can just be altered right ? @anon72503772

[TritraSerpifeu]

Fun fact. I wanted to have that one engage boss like be added for the chapter where Anna joins, to sorta have this dynamic of her and Anna being in the same chapter remains. Unfortunately that slot was already taken.

[anon72503772]

Correct. If a replacement would end up stuck on terrain I’ll just alter their spawn point, no worries.
