[FE7] [Complete] Elysium Ablaze - A FE7 PME expanded upon [16 Chapters]

I did mean Anthea in that one.
But to get more money you can sell things. Like the brave bow is one that you can either use or one that you can sell. That way you can obtain more than 10000 gold. Everyone starts with junk and you won’t use everyone as it is a single map based challenge.

Alternatively Ariel as well as Aran both have the required Rank to use the Brave Bow themselves. You can freely trade between units, after all.

Love her appearance more here compare to her appearence in Aurelia 2017

“Make luck happen” I never heard anyone in real life say it like that before

Game Done:

My Final Team for Anthea Mode:


Anthea got max stat because she is one of the main lord.

Ariel Portrait is really nice I love that Leila from FE 7’ s Portrait was use as a base

Aireth deserve eveything good that come to her because she has suffered enough in the past.






Tulli got all stat maxed out because in my mind she is an Immortal being so she deserve stats that reflect her Immortality, and her portrait is super cute. If anyone made a plushie of Tulli I would buy it right away and use it as a pillow to hug everytime I sleep. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:


Rinka get Max Stats because I feel bad for not using her in Thorne Mode + her portrait is beautiful. Same with Tulli if anyone has artwork about Rinka I would buy it on the spot. That Just how much I love her portrait. :heart_eyes:




Rolf got in because I needed another body to fill in the 14th slot + I need another healer in case barret die. Which he didn’t. If anyone die with the stat boost I given them. I would Quit playing Fire Emblem

I spend 3 hours to boost up everyone stat:

Will write my thought on the Hack as a whole in a separate post.

As a side note. Playing the randomizer I got the funniest Artemis replacement. Daimler, no longer racist.

Why does his portrait look so bleak here?


Portrait color is randomized as you can see with Zuiho (Aireth replacement, my girl gets to be the protag) also has a randomized different color.

My Final Thoughts on the hack as a whole( Be Warn It Is Really Long)
  1. My Favorite Character in this Hack will always be Aerith. Aerith Mode to me is Lyn Mode with the benefit of getting the closure she needed. Having Aerith be able to face down the Man that was given the order to kill her family and show kindness and forgiveness was a huge moment of Character Growth. Although Thorne Mode was a story about Thorne Journey to carry out the will of Madoka to pacify Lycia and turning her idea of pacifism into reality. If we can look past that we can see that it is more of an excuse to resolve unfinish story lines in Aerith mode like:
    1.Aerith’s revenge against Daimler for what he did to her entire family and tribe. Which I think you(Tritra) succeeded in doing. I was the happiest man in the world when Aerith got to see the son’s of the man who destroy her family get eaten alive by the thing they thought was going to protect them :joy:
    What I would have like for you to add is some way for Aerith to be the one that deal the final blow to Daimler (Like instead of having the spy kill Daimler, the spy could make it look like she kill him and let Aerith know that he is indeed alive and giving Aerith a chance to confront Daimler for what he has done in the past. Only To See that Daimler is still Full of Hatred for Aerith and Her People there by giving Aerith the resolve to end him herself and realeasing all the rage she had for him with one swift flash of her blade. Then When Aerith Meet Josiah, Daimler’s Brother in The Dread Isle the conversation could be the same. But this time you know the reason why Aerith could not kill Josiah instead choose to forgive him. Because He show true remorse for his action unlike Daimler and beside Aerith had already release all her Rage and Anger by killing Daimler.

2.Zuiho’s Origin and why she was a target for the Black Fang. Knew she was important right in chapter 1 of Thorne Mode where she and Miku let slip that they are not ordinary humans and infact a ancient being from another world. After Zuiho was recapture by the Black Fang this story effectively become a story to find Zuiho and not to carry out the Will of Madoka. Of course it was convenience for the plot that in the process of rescuing Zuiho you are also taking care of the root cause of the chaos in Lycia which was the Black Fang and their corrupted Leaders. Which I think you did well ending that story where you did giving the player 2 options to End the Black Fang Threat to Lycia: 1. Killing all their Leaders, 2.Diplomatic route where you use pacifism and the Thorne own Ideology to talk some sense in to the remaining leaders of Black Fang there by reforming them returning them to their original Noble goals of killing only corrupt Nobles.

  1. Thorne’s Past and why he is the way he is.(this is the least you could do for a game mode named after the character)

One thing I did not like is the ending of Thorne Mode story wise. In the Final Confrontation (Elysium Ablaze) There was 10 bosses that had no dialogues to explain to the player who they were, what did they did to to get here, and don’t get me started about This Stupid Things what even was it?(I did not see any summoning hapening in the cutscene so I don’t know what that text is talking about:


I would have like a few more chapters fleshing out the other bosses in the final chapter of Thorne Mode. I mean what were you(Tritra) thinking when you just magically put 10 Random powerful Guys and Gals into the Final Map and expect the player to know who these people are and care about them as they kill your unit or vice versa. No as a Man who Live for the Story Of Fire Emblem I will not except it. Everything need a Beginning and an End by putting these 10 random characters that I bet people who play @SilverRoy PME Hack would know, You(Tritra) Just ruin my enjoyment of the Hack. Do you Know why I remember Diamler,his Son, Dreyfus Because they had Dialogue that show they were trully Evil and Crazy which making killing them that more satisfying. By not introducing these 10 Bosses properly you just suck took away my satisfaction of killing them. For All I Know I could Be Killing Good People who just got drag into this because they were Family Member of Zoe the Leader of the Black Fang or because somewhere along the road they made the wrong choice and pick the wrong people to be their friend.

In The End I gave this Hack a 9 out of 10 I would Recommend this to anyone who have an interest in exploring Fire Emblem Romhack. Please add this to the Fan Game Directory @TritraSerpifeu.

If you want to know why it is a 9 and not a 10 you got to read my Final Thought to the end :grin:

features spoilers regarding the ending

The idea behind the “angel” is that they are the masked Anna that appeared beforehand. The Anna from beyond the gate that after losing her “human” form became an incomprehensible being.
It is quite unfortunate with the 10 new characters but that is yet another thing that I sorta made because of the PME. This game is shorter than vanilla FE7 and as such a lot of bosses got the short end of the stick with their chapter being cut. The idea was to use them to create a mirror match of sorts, both you and the Black Fang bring out their strongest group. Similar to how the enemies don’t know your crew you don’t know theirs. And besides, you can literally spare them. You defeated Dreyfus, the man who you are invested in defeating. You are given a chance to return to your original goal of doing it peaceful.
Defeating them isn’t meant to be “satisfying” in a narrative sense, it is meant to be satisfying in a gameplay sense. While the pacifist ending is the ending designed to be satisfying from a narrative perspective.
Reaching the final chapter guarantees you can get the best narrative ending therefore I can make the final boss a tough challenge.

But yeah, I get your frustrations with the game just throwing random new foes. It is just a difficult situation imo, I don’t want to punish players for doing an Ironman by locking them out of the best ending, that is something I genuinely hate about FE6 and I want to ensure that as many submissions as possible get represented by this game as that is part of the mission statement.

Honestly I should make some parts of the ending clearer. Maybe I can do something like make the transformation more clear and similar to how Shin’s crew got a few lines give the final 13 also some screentime. Like maybe give them a “I say a cool final line before the final fight” (something I should maybe also give the others now that I think about it.)

And don’t worry. I will respond to your other criticism I just wanted to lay this out there first.

I will soon make the final update and try to put in as much of your criticism as possible to make it the best it can be.

I also have an idea, I think my next game will be a FE8 Ephraim mode inspired game that serves as a prequel and I can imagine using it to give Zoe some more screentime by making her a playable character who after saving the world abuses the trust she earned to found the Black Fang. Making up for her little screentime.

And also I think I will give Miku supports. A Miku Thorne support would be great to explain his backstory. And I will just make them a bonus .txt file so you can just read them without needing to grind for them if you don’t want to.

Love that you took those criticism in a constructive manner and plan to make the Hack Better because of It. I hope others will get the chance to play this improve version in the future. As for me I can be happy knowing that I in my own way help make this hack better.

Here are SUPPORTS for Miku. Hope you approve of them. I would appreciate if you would like proof read them so that if Include them they are of quality.

First up, Thorne’s support. Explains his backstory in more detail. I did hint at parts of his backstory but this has it clearer than anywhere else. I decided to emphasize the church orphanage he was at since that is the reason he is a light magic user, so it feels fitting to put a focus on that.

I will continue to write later.

Thorne C

Miku: Thorne, do you need anything? You look like you are in pain.
Thorne: Don’t worry about it, I am always in pain.
Miku: Huh, madoka doesn’t seem like the type of person to neglect her soldiers medical needs. Interesting.
Thorne: it’s not that, it’s just pain she doesn’t know how to fix.
Miku: You mean mental illness?
Thorne: Nah, it is something in the bones. I once fell while climbing down from a mountain before a lightning bolt caused a tree to fall onto me. That messes with your bones.
Miku: So that is why you are so grumpy.
Thorne: I wish that was all. You want to know why I was on that mountain. To curse the gods for what they made me live through.
Miku: You think the gods chose you to bear misfortune? Did you anger them previously?
Thorne: After my parents died in a snowstorm I was raised in a church orphanage that some would call a cult. But it wasn’t a cult, it was the best place with the kindest of people… But I suppose the gods didn’t like the notion of worship for a mere angel to exist so that place… It…
Miku: Is no more?
Thorne: …
Miku: …
Thorne: Let’s get back to fighting, I can’t loose my composure.

Thorne B

Miku: I had a question about your past-
Thorne: Can we please not talk about that. Didn’t I tell you enough? Tragedy strikes, I start to recover, Tragedy strikes again. My life would make for a great stand up routine, so much so that I once blew a chance to get a girlfriend because she thought I made it all up. But considering how my previous girlfriend got struck by lightning, she dodged an arrow with that one.
Miku: You confuse me. You say you don’t want to talk about your past and yet you just told more of your past. Surely your past cannot be as bad as you say, look at yourself now. You are the lord of an army. That is a high title.
Thorne: For now I have this high title. Don’t tell this Anthea or our tactician or anyone else, but something will go very wrong. An enemy that is too strong, a trap we cannot escape or just a meteorite that happens to drop on all but me. I just hope that by the time that happens, Madoka is out of range.
Miku: You don’t want Madoka to die, any specific reason for that?
Thorne: She has faith in me. Even after I accidentally hit her with my magic. Even after I was the only one who came back alive from several assignments. She never gave up on me. She trusts me. She is the only one who trusts me.
Miku: What about Anthea?
What about our tactician?
What about Amelia?
What about me?
There are plenty that trust you.
Thorne: …
Thank you.

Thorne A

Thorne: Miku, what are your plans after you part ways with us?
Miku: I will continue to learn. Travel around the land, eventually around the world.
Thorne: Could I teach you something? Something you can carry around the world?
Miku: Of course.
Thorne: Can I teach you about the angel we worshipped at my old church orphanage?
Miku: Of course, but may I ask you why? I thought you rejected the concept of gods that demand worship as you believe that they are responsible for your bad luck.
Thorne: They destroyed her church, I don’t want to let them win. I think I am the last one who knows about her. You are an android, capable of remembering her even after I am gone. She deserves that much.
Miku: I understand. Then let’s do that. After the battle we will surely have find a good moment for your sermon.
Thorne: I suppose it is ample time for me to finally axt like a pilgrim and not just fight like one.
Miku: If you want I can inform the others and have them listen too!
Thorne: That would mean a lot to me, Thank you.

there was this one ending screen with bug out text that I miss between Tulli and Miku please fix it:

Well I’m glad that you did enjoy this hack. I also help out with the writing here,which could explain the amount of typos found.

When i was writing for this hack my main priority was to make this less vanilla to fe7 story as possible. That the same goal i did before when i was writing for VelvetKitsune fe8 pme before that ultimately got cancelled making mouths of my hard work writing for nothing.

When i was writing for characters such as Daimler, Norton and Dreyfus I wrote them to be sort of Hate Sink characters. Characters that are attended to be hated by the players. So when they are killed off it supposed to be satisfying moments. Although i do agree that Aireth should have a confrontation with Daimler and should have be the one to kill him.

Just reading this post I already found some typo in it. :sweat_smile: So I guess you are not a native English Speaker. Me neither. Where are you from?

Now to talk about your writing:
Even though the Stories you write were not perfect but Thank you for putting in the effort to make a new meaningful story out of a PME project I always like a Reskin with a fresh story to tell. :heart:

Well thank you for that.

Also i was born in American my first language is English. It’s just that my grimmer sucks ass at times.

Maybe it could just be that since i spent like two maybe three hours on writing some of theses scenes that kindly get so tired that i just wanted to be done with, without second checking my mistakes. I was kindly banking on Tritra to see this and fix my typos. Although i don’t think all those typos were all mine. Could be Tritra as well to.

Near the end:
Thorne: I suppose it is ample time for me to finally axt like a pilgrim and not just fight like one.
Miku: If you want I can inform the others and have them listen too!
Thorne: That would mean a lot to me, Thank you.

axt is not a word I think you mean: act like a pilgrim.

Beside that one mistake everything was fine and understandable.
I will proof read the rest of the supports as well when you are done with them

Okay I now changed the ending of Thorne chapter 3 to feature Daimler.
I will edit other scenes around this later.

Summary

Aireth: So we finally meet.[A]
The main who
ruined my life.[A]
Norton: I failed you father,[A]
but I made them
promise a fair trial![A]
Daimler: Madoka is so merciful.[A]
I regret having started
this conflict already.[A]
Thorne: How convinient for you to
have this change of heart.[A]
But I suppose saying that
is a fine hollow political gesture.[A]
Daimler: Politics is all about hollow gestures, Thorne.[A]
Like appointing a Sacaen as a puppet
Marquess is a fine one too.[A]
People are less dangerous if
they feel like their voice are heard.[A]
Even if their voice isn’t worth hearing.[A]
Aireth: …
Norton: R-remember, you
promised us a fair trial.[A]
Daimler: Don’t worry Norton, their grandeur
sense of pride won’t allow her to break-[A]
(Aireth attacks Daimler, defeating him in one strike.)
Aireth: You murdered everyone I held dear.[A]
We are beyond pinkie promises.[A]
Norton, if you continue to live
like your dad. This is how you will die.[A]
Daimler: Ugh
(Dreyfus comes in)
Dreyfus: I missed a lot, didn’t I.[A]
Norton: Dreyfus![A]
About time![A]
That sacaen brat killed Daimler![A]

Then the rest continues normally.

I can imagine that in the previous scene Delta should only roughen Daimler up. Make sure he is hurt so that Aireth can do the kill easier, but not kill him. Make them believe that they have a perfect victory.

I hope this is a satisfying scene like both showing how racist Daimler is while also hinting at the mercy Aireth has in her heart, warning Norton before upon Dreyfus arriving he continues to be evil and then meet his end.

Typo spotted:
Aireth: So we finally meet.[A]
The main who (Man not “main”)
ruined my life.[A]

Norton: I failed you father,[A]
but I made them
promise a fair trial![A](It should be: “Promise to give you a fair trial”)

Thorne: How convinient for you to (“convenient” not “convinient”)
have this change of heart.[A]

That sacaen brat killed Daimler![A]
nothing wrong with this text grammatically but I would like to let you know that brat is a word use to talk about naughty little boy and little girl. I don’t think Aireth is that young to be call a brat. Instead you could use a word like wench to talk about a girl who has low social standing/class in the Olden days which I think fit Aireth quite nice because she is a Sacaen who was push into high society by Madoka while not having the knowledge and the relationship of a high born Noble

By the Darezin Miku support is actually one that I wrote even before the development on Elysium Ablaze started. I even made a video of it

Darezin Support

C-Rank:

Miku: You are a Manakete, correct?
Darezin: Yep, that’s correct. Your eyes haven’t decieved you when I turned into a dragon.
Miku: Then you must be very old. Your knowledge on how society has changed must be imense.
Darezin: Things do change over time, but I wouldn’t worry about change that much. No matter what time, there is always good romance and good drama.
Miku: Indeed. Could you perhaps enlight me on some of that drama? Drama that contains vital information in understanding the now?
Darezin: I am not sure what I know would be of the most use for you. I have met many people that are now seen as important, even people related to you, but history books have you covered if you want to understand the now.
Miku: People related to me?
Darezin: You are the “Voice to the future”, correct? When this lost civilization started it’s downfall, you were sealed away and you became a religious figure of sorts.
Miku: I am a religious figure?
Darezin: You were, this lost civilization is lost now after all.
Miku: …
Darezin: I did not expect I would get to actually meet you.
Miku: Please, tell me the drama of my civilization’s downfall.
Darezin: There is this theater play I helped on that fits that bill. “Miku, cry for me.” It was called. You should watch it.
Miku: …
I will process what I heard.

B-Rank:
Miku: I have asked around camp and got a read of “Miku, cry for me.” It barely has any historical information.
Darezin: But it’s a good drama, right?
Miku: Why was I given this role of a goddess? They pray to me despite me not even being able to listen to them.
Darezin: People need hope, and you can’t dissapoint. In a downfall where everyone dissapointed everyone, you were an angel in the dark.
Miku: …
Darezin: Look at it like that, you know their civilization, right?
Miku: Yes
Darezin: You being here gave the drama it’s happy ending.
Miku: I do know everything about the civilization at it’s prime.
My first mission is complete: Writing out the history of everything back then.
My second mission is currently going on: Saving that history.
My third mission will begin afterwards.
Darezin: And don’t forget to have fun on the way.
Miku: Of course, I have been made to be motivated by what I see as fun.

A-Rank:
Darezin: Can you maybe sing me a song from your time? Something I haven’t heard in ages.
Miku: Which song did not stand the test of time.
Darezin: How about “suki suki banana”.
Miku: Of course.



Darezin: Ah, that was such a good year. Thank you.
Miku: No problem. There are 19999 more songs I can sing.
Darezin: No need, I think I had enough nostalgia for now. Although, can you maybe sing: “Shiro wain Harō~in”?
Miku: Of course.



Did this trigger memories of an old romance?
Darezin: Yeah, but I do think I now really had enough nostalgia. We were lucky enough to have two songs during a battle, we should really get ahead and focus. Even I have to say that!
Miku: Of course. How silly of me. Haha!

Considering it is one of the earliest pieces of text for this game it is kinda outdated by the world of Elysium Ablaze still forming. But I like it and it saves me the work.

And here is a support for Tulli. Considering you like this character I hope you will enjoy finding out more about who she is.

Tulli C

Miku: Tulli! What a coincidence to see you here.
Tulli: Oh! We met in a previous lifetime, didn’t we? Sorry, my memory gets foggy each time I reincarnate. Time flies when dying means skipping 200 years.
Miku: Yes we did meet. I am Miku, the first cherubian android. I am the living echo of a dead world.
Tulli: Then you can enlighten me about cherubian history! I did read a lot about cherubian history but unfortunately there is always knowledge that is missing.
Miku: I’d love to do that. I did write a copy of my knowledge for the Aquileia library, but talking with someone who has memory and interest in that topic, it is going to be special.
Tulli: Exactly! Wow, I am going to need to some time to formulate the questions now that I know I can ask them. Let’s continue this talk later, okay?
Miku: Of course. I am grateful that I can allow this for you.

Tulli B

Tulli: Okay! Here we go! Questions about cherubian culture! Let me start with something that has been in my mind for a long time. Okay, two lifetimes ago I was in the cherubian capital on the 42st moon of Rho. I could remember watching something in the theater that impacted me deeply. What was the prime stageplay at that moment?
Miku: Camus of Grust, a drama telling the story of Camus of Grust.
Tulli: Yes! That is it!

No new memories? Dammit, I thought that remembering this would lead me to remember something else.
Miku: Did you perhaps meet Camus in one of your many previous lives?
Tulli: I am not sure. I have met so many people, but the world is still a giant place, I can’t have met everyone in the entire world.
Miku: Maybe that stageplay was just a very good stageplay.
Tulli: Yes… It feels like the answer is so close but sadly I will have to think about this more.
Miku: If you have any follow up questions, you know where I am.

Tulli A

Tulli: It is so frustrating, the answer of why the stageplay of Camus of Grust resonated with me so deeply seems so near yet so far away.
Miku: You still don’t have an answer?
Tulli: I still don’t. All I remember now is that it was a very nice telling of the story of Camus covering all his three heroric lives as Camus, Zeke and Sirius.

That’s it!
Of course!
Now it seems so obvious.
Hearing the story of a man of multiple lives relates to me as a women of multiple lives.
Miku: Sounds like a solved mystery.
Tulli: Indeed!
Miku: I am sure Camus of Grust is performed somewhere, maybe you can look into watching it again.
Tulli: Don’t worry about it, my memories are suddenly so clear, I would probably just be bored. I’d rather watch another play adapting a heroric figure of history.
Miku: Understandable.
Tulli: Thank you helping me solve this memory of mine. It may not have been the most important memory now that I know what it was but I still treasure knowing what I did back then. I look forward to meeting you in my next lives. Can you promise me something?
Miku: Of course.
Tulli: If we ever meet again in one of my next lives, can you perform Camus of Grust to me? The joy of experiencing it for the first time again will be such a joy for future me, I am sure of it!
Miku: I will make sure to remember.
Tulli: Thank you!

I hope you like it and it makes you like Tulli even more! At least get an actual picture for who she is.
