[FE7] Fire Emblem 7 - Ashen PME (Submissions Open)

[Gullop]

Hello! A while back I attempted a PME but got very busy with school. I have since graduated a while back and have recently got back into working on a personal hack. As a way of refreshing myself on hacking I’ve decided to do a PME of FE7! The idea behind this PME is to get me to push myself on several facets of hacking including characters, weapons, and general changes.

Also thank you to @MattPascal for the format I used to write this up!

Some rules you should know:

• Slot Limitations: All slots are first come first serve and will be updated (hopefully) regularly. The limit is 5 playable characters and 5 bosses per person and please try to make sure your slot hasn’t been taken yet via quick CTRL+F search.

• Custom Classes: I will be repurposing some unused classes for any classes people would be interested in adding. For now I plan to repurpose about 7 classes. Classes will have 1-2 weapons at base and 1-3 weapons at promotion (1-4 for armors, 1-2 for mounted units). These classes can be hybrid Str/Mag and are eligible for the critical rate bonus if they are an infantry class with 1 weapon (This is basically for anyone who wants Halberdier).

• Growth Rates: 310% Base Class / 260% Pre-Promo / 345% For Lords/Dancers/Nino

• Boons/Banes: +/-3 to any stat (HP/Luck is +/- 5)

• Up to 4 items per starting inventory. The intention for this hack is to be reasonable so if someone asks for the “Super Mega Death Sword” I (may) decline. Any balancing decisions I make will be communicated but feel free to express yourself. Additionally, I will allow for custom weapons using repurposed Emblem Weapons and potentially others (No guarantees). 2 weapons per person across all characters. Additionally I am only allowing one Delphi Shield (Kaori) and Iron Rune(Silvina) per roster. Afa’s drops are banned.

• No event changing unless it is fairly easy to implement. I am saving my debug headaches for my custom hack I’m working on. As a general note please try to maintain balanced characters. Also as a preference I prefer serious character ideas and unfortunately have become a bit tone police-y so apologies if I reject a character. In general characters should feel like they could exist in an actual fire emblem game.

Gameplay Changes

• Experience from Healing/Stealing/Dancing has been increased to 15exp. Missed attacks now give 5exp instead of 1exp.

• Energy Ring boosts both Str and Mag by 2

• Valkyries now also use Swords. Valkyries gain Light instead of Anima.

• Knights/Generals have their bases buffed with +2 in both HP and Def. Additionally, Generals now use Swords and Bows as well.

• Assassins have their max stats buffed with +2 in both Str and Res and +1 in Def. Additionally they now use Bows as well.

• Wyvern Lords will use Axes instead of Swords.

• Some QoL patches (HPBars by Circles/Tequila, Map Danger Zone by Circles, etc).

• Str/Mag Split patch courtesy of Tequila, thanks to them and all other patch authors. For Str only classes, magic stat will be a percentage of their base strength (dependent on class, between 10-30%) + their personal growth*level (example: Jon Myrmidon has 30% x his base strength of 10 + his growth of 30% x his level (10) to get a base magic stat of 6). For magic characters this is the same but with strength and magic flipped. For mixed characters, it will be 40-80% instead of the 10-30% and will apply for both stats (example: Valkyrie will use 50% of base power for strength and 70% of base power for magic so if a Valkyrie would have 15 power their str would be 8 and their mag would be 11). All of this applies BEFORE boons/banes

• Magic weapons are reworked. Light Brand is 20 uses and E rank to match Javelin and Handaxe, and its stats reflect this. It will likely be made available in more shops as well, and to compensate, there are now 4 magic weapons (one per weapon type) that are of similar strength to base game Light Brand. Additionally the Runesword was slightly reworked with lower might and weight and higher accuracy.

Thanks for reading, once again thank you to @MattPascal For much of the formatting used here. Have fun!

[Furcorn776]

May I take Lyndis and Hector?

[Kowalski]

Oh! I was browsing about these PME topics and wasn’t expecting so much new ones to begin being made. I think I’ll try my hand on yours, may I have Eliwood reserved?

@Gullop Something else: based on what I’m reading from the title, this is going to have Strength and Magic split? Because I was just searching about other projects on FE7 in here, and I found out this one, which seems to be a rebalance with the split on:

[FE7] [COMPLETE] Fire Emblem - The Lightning Hack [FE7 Rebalance - Featuring Str/Mag Split]

— — — Fire Emblem 7 - The Lightning Hack (v1.0) — — — [FE7-TLH01] [FE7-TLH02] [FE7-TLH03] [FE7-TLH04] [FE7-TLH05] [FE7-TLH06] Dropbox - Download Link Mediafire - Mirror Link Hello there everyone! Welcome to The Lightning Hack (FE7:TLH) main post! This is a light rebalance of FE7 that not only features new classes, weapons and the usual QoL patches and gameplay changes, but also a fully working Str/Mag split mechanic! The purpose of this hack was not only to finally cure my itch to work on…

I never heard of Fire Emblem 7 having the split, and the creator said that apparently anyone can use it as a base. So will you use that hack as base, or you’ll just go from scratch?

[Gghen19]

I call Sain, and Nils

[Gullop]

There is a patch that can be used to implement the Str/Mag split. I do not plan to baseline from anyone else’s QoL hack at the moment.

[Kowalski]

Thanks for clarification, I’ll start working on Eliwood right away.

[Gghen19]

Question: So how many Banes/Boons are we allowed? and how many characters are we allowed to make per day?

[Gullop]

1 Bane, 1 Boon. Characters per day are not limited but I may ask someone to hold off if they are taking too many slots at a time.

[Kowalski]

Makes sense, otherwise a single user could sweep everything.

[Gghen19]

That might be me…

Misc: Same stats on both classes (8 Mov on Ranger Lord if allowed) as well as descriptions. Base Lord has D Rank Lances, updates to C Lances and D Bows on promotion. Body Ring is to help him wield heavier lances, but can also be freely passed on to someone else too.

Bit too vanilla for my first unit, but I think he’ll still be hella fun to fight with.

Both weapons have value of 0 and can’t be sold.

[AlexYTXG]

Is there reservations because i want hector

[Gullop]

I personally am not inclined to honor reservations, I see it as a way of “I’ll do this later”. Your call if you’d like to take him but there are plenty of characters haha

[MattPascal]

Hey! Glad to have helped you get inspired to make your own PME hack Gullop!

For the moment I’m very busy with things where I live so I’m not sure I’ll end up creating some characters for this one, but I still wish you luck that you can finish it my friend.

There are no limits and please try to make sure your slot hasn’t been taken yet via quick CTRL+F search.

Also, this doesn’t work if you aren’t updating the moment you get a post. (Edit: or are in the middle of the thread.) Just click on the search button, type in the character name, and click search in this topic for a better way.
