The regular patch only changes the graphics, but the QoL change more things. You have the changes in the readme file, but I copy-paste them here. Sorry for not having answered you sooner.
FE7Remastered X QoL: Using the previous path as a base, this version includes some gameplay and Quality of Life changes. It adds magic weapons (Levin Sword and Wind Spear), Fighters change into Heroes instead of Warriors, Rebecca change into a Nomad Trooper, support gains from far and quicker (specially in late game characters). Characters have a 10% more of growth in all stats, bows are now part of the weapon ātriangleā, being effective against any kind of magic, Pent can use Bolgaronne (since heās the pupil of Athos), the S rank weapons become effective against the dragon, Wallace has been rebalanced to make him useful (he begin as a level 20 knight, so if he appears as a General he has better stats), Nino begins at level 10 for the sake of supervivency and Jaffar appears at level 20 as an NPC, but when you recruit him he has his normal level, you can steal the silver card in Eliwood mode, the Lockpicks durability has been doubled (but not the price), the experience gain has been increased a little. For the sake of testing I included some cheat weapons in the first shops of the game and I leaved them if you want to test things or play for the story (they have the text āYouāre a cheaterā in their descriptions).
FE7Remastered X QoL Challenge: The weapon triangles are now three times more effective and the crit bonus of Swordmasters and Berserkers is doubled (matching the bonus in Binding Blade). This will make the game easier in some parts, but in others where some enemies has two type of weapons it can be tricky.
The first ones you find, only in Eliwood and Hector mode, the last shops that sell cheat weapons are the ones in the chapter you reunite with Lyn. I created those to test faster the game and leaved them for the people who has to have fun testing things or keeping a cheat weapon for a difficult map, or to make Serra a killing machine (you can give her any magic cheat tome). Have fun!
No, sorry, this hack upgrades the graphics and the QoL version changed some playable stuff. Making Lloyd or Linus recruitable would lead to some errors in the support gallery and that also means change things in the last chapter (and itās a challenge to fight their morphs since they gain support bonus from each other).
Fire Emblem 7 is already on the Switch, but they donāt allow modified versions. At least you can emulate this on your cellphone or even in some handheld consoles like the PSP.
I saw some hacks had it, but only saw in Sacred Stones hacks, maybe it can be done in FE7. Anyway, I added time ago a PME version named āFun Emblemā, it changes things and the characters have broken growth rates, it makes easy the game at the beginning BUT thereāre more changes.
Thatās unfortunately true for the most part regarding the Switch and yet we got emulators for the other consoles like the Steam Deck and modded handhelds to back em up when it comes to rom hacking Fire Emblem games. Still looking forward to more content tho.
If you want I recommend you to check the āFun Emblemā patch, itās a bit strange and more easy at the beginning. I still has to test it a bit more, but give it a try, I changed more things for fun.
Sad
