Download Link (apply to a vanilla FE7 ROM)
A statement that’s been echoed by many who’ve played FE7 is that Eliwood would be a better unit if he had Lances at bases. With how often this statement’s been made, I think it’s right that a version of the game exists that puts just this to the test. This is a patch of FE7 that only makes the following changes:
- Eliwood starts with a lance rank instead of swords
- Eliwood’s Rapier is changed to the Eligor Spear (wonder what that’s a reference to) with stats better than an Iron Lance by the amount the Rapier is better than an Iron Sword
- Eliwood gets +1 con in Tier 1 so he doesn’t get weighed down by an Iron Lance
- Durandal is replaced by Maltet, having its FE6 stats with +4 weight similar to how the Durandal was in vanilla
Also all difficulties are available from the start. Besides that it’s just FE7.
