[FE7] Fire Emblem - Vengeance [V0.2 (10 Chapters + 1 Gaiden So far)]

[Enskyer]

Heyo! Sooo…umm I don’t how to start this off but here we go.

So I decided to do a hack while back…I want to say maybe Late 2018. Seeing lots of people do their own I got inspired to do one for fun. but I will admit it’s…not done I would say. cause it was just mostly an off project I did for fun for myself. but now I’m thinking I want to bring the hack on here to share for all. even though it may not be a full finished project but I’m willing to share.

(October 4th, 2025) Update! 0.2 Version
Years later, 2025, I am back to give everyone a new Version of the game! :3 Where this time it has more chapters and more characters to play as too. It goes up to 10 Chapters + 1 Gaiden Chapter, and 15 playable characters. and that will be the rest of the Serah story. so won’t spoilor anything on it but you’ll have just to play it and see!

(April 12th, 2026) Hack has been renamed from “The Two Blades” to “Vengeance”.

Brief on the Story

• The Story starts with man and his Daughter adventuring out of the village to search and destroy Bandits. But nasty Bandits that are Ruthless at it’s wake. Called, The Legion Bandits. These bandits are league Assassins or monsters you could say, that Raid and Destroy anyone or anything at who gets in there way. So they must stop them at all cost. but luckily, there comes with reinforcements. With others that could join there cause and continue on to stop them.

Screenshots (Updated as of Oct 4th, 2025)

Bugs 0.2.0 TBD

All the Bug has been check and made sure so if you see any bugs or something strange let me know and I’ll add it in the list!

• Death with Original Vanilla Game
  • Some of the deaths may not have been alter’d to fit the characters that says it but rest of assure I will try to get a 0.2.1 Patch going at some point.
• Title Screen Bug
  • Title Screen may be a bit messed up… Since I did try to change the year to 2025 ^^; If you notice it, and reply to it, note that I am aware of this and will need to try to get it fixed somehow later.
• Original placeholder portrait (Updated)
  • I won’t say which chapters but at least 1 Portrait do not have the correct custom ones for a cutscene. while 2 other ones are currently using two Original ones. Hector is one being used while also Natalie as well. I will get the new character’s Portrait all set up later in the 0.2.1 Patch or otherwise, a 0.3.0 Patch in the future.
• Divine Tome (Cutscene Error)
  • While it does not break the game and did not add in the bug’s notes, was suppose to be an item you get after finishing a Chapter. (My bad ^^; The code I did, did not work as it should.) A unit was suppose to get a divine tome afterward with conditions.
• Door Tile Error
  • One of the chapters that has an Door tile, has an error. That door cannot be unlocked what so ever. will be fixing in 0.2.1.
• TBD if more Bugs founded.

Fire Emblem - The Two Blade 0.2.ups

[theghostcreator]

alrighty I gave the hack a spin and here are my thoughts on it

chapter 1: simple, effective enough for a first chapter, although a little too open for what few enemy and player units there are, Jason works well as a jagen and Serha actually has strength compared to the lord who she shares a class with.

chapter 2: looks very similar to chapter 3 of lyn mode, except there are no walls, again a little too open with a lot of unused space, David is a little too strong he takes no damage against the bandits which alleviates much of the challenge the archer of whom I have forgotten the name of is bad, like all archers in gba emblem.

writing: the story and grammar are fine enough, a few misspellings and /'s. Dialogue seems slightly unnatural though, it’s difficult to explain but most of the character’s speaking mannerisms feel unnatural and stilted, just a matter of wording.

verdict: this small demo provides a decently fun two chapters with fine enough map design and story with great unit pallets. One thing I will say about this hack though is that it reminds of older hacks, simple ones created by someone with access to nightmare and a full summer ahead of them, it was oddly nostalgic for me, it reminded me of when I was young and I used to play a bunch of pokemon rom hacks on my grandparent’s windows vista, in that way the hack has its own nostalgic charm to it.

[Enskyer]

Thank you for the feedback, GhostCreator ^^ I do agree with ya on the lots of space in those chapters. and I do plan to cut some of the map sizes down a little and maybe fill in some empty space or add extra enemies in the map. I’ll make sure to balance David out as well so he doesn’t defeat an enemy quick and have a tank def to not get hit.

Yee it does remind me in some old hacks as well. man I think the ones that caught my eyes we’re the Last prmoise and Mageknight404’s Hacks. they we’re fun to play with

(edit: I mean’t to reply to ya but I accidentally hit the reply buttion instead of replying to you. but all good now ^^;)

[Enskyer]

Alirghty, I’ve just updated now. Nothing too bad or Major but just mostly bug fixs and minor changes.

[Enskyer]

oh wow. It’s been 4 years now huh 0_o Okay, so here it goes. So Hiya I’m here and well sorta back-ish with. I know it’s been 4 years since I did this. and well, it been awhile since I last did.

The Two Blades has been an on and off thing for me and sorta been less motivated to do it. For the question here is… “is it cancelled?” well sorta yes and no… I have started to come back into it since the month of Late May. and I’m currently working Chapter 2 at the moment. Yes I have started on that one xD since Aug 2021 (I know 4 years shouldn’t take that long lol) but I have started to rewrite a few things and change some Scenes and such for it. ^^; which I kept going back to Prologue and Chapter 1 many times. so Locked into those. I did got get outta it right now get my goal to Chapter.

But hoping, maybe, I’m expecting to get the Serah story done by Mid August or earlier by the time writing this out. and hoping to get started on Chapter 11 after finishing it. so expect that soon!

[Enskyer]

Apologies for the broken promise for anyone who were looking forward to playing the Two Blades hack >w< I’m still currently working on it as we speak. Had no motivation for most of July but I managed to get Chapter 3-5 done in late July-Mid August. I’m hoping, maybe, Late August for sure. Or otherwise… September at least. will get the 1st part of the game to be done on the serah story and will get to the Chapter 11 and upwards going.

Again, I apologize for not prefilling the promise. I Plan to get it done soon or later.

I’ll share on how much I got done here. I am half way there finishing the 1st part it but I do plan to get it relased on here for everyone to play :3 But for now, my plan is to still release it by Late August or September. First I’ll do playtesting on it and then I’ll release it afterwards. So sorry again and I will get it done!

Update: Part 1 of the hack is almost done! :3 I’m currently doing Chapter 10 at the moment.
Then later, I’m gonna be taking a break from it until September the 6th. Once I’m back, I will be ironing out the bugs/Errors for it and will be adding in the portraits and palettes for it. so expect that! :3

[Lloyd47343]

Always a bummer to see a dead project so I’m glad this is still being worked on

[Enskyer]

Alrighty, Hacks been updated now! :3 It took awhile but finally managed to get it all set now >w< So I am done for now so far. But I will continue on the hack when January 2026 starts. I might have forgotten but if the game says something about december then I have failed to change that. Please know that this not correct in the game says. Keep me posted if it is, I will correct that mistake right away.

As for bugs, I made sure to clean it as much as I can but I may have miss some but everyone might have to report it to me in the replies if there’s anything that I’ve missed.

I’ll update little bit at time to time if there’s a bug going around in the game and I will try my best to keep it less buggy if possible. without further to do, enjoy the Two Blades game of serah’s Story! :3

[Enskyer]

Letting everyone know that I will be resuming development on the two blades soon! will be resuming on January 5th :3

But first, I will start adding a bigfix patch for 0.2.1 for the following:

• missing/unalter Death Quotes for Playable Character,
• Will revert the messed up Title Screen but might have to have someone help with that the title screen or if need to pay or something to have custom one or just keep it the same don’t know.
• will remove that hector Portrat Placeholder for it.

Goal for V0.3.0, I’m gonna start on doing 10 chapters for it. Making it 20 chapters. and then I will break again and later resume after 3 months later of the break.

Until then, I shall see y’all later for it! :3

[Enskyer]

Alrighty, here and remember’d my password to this now lol.

So what’s the verdict? Is part 2 done? have I done anything? Weellll… unfortunately, it is not done… -w-

Been quite busy on some things for a long time and now I’ve kinda started to get some motivation into it right now so currently working on text again at this time. I’m sorta gonna change up some of wordings up to fit the story and will be doing a bit of Spell checking to fix up some texts that doesn’t make senses or errors. And no, just to let everyone know, there won’t be any rewrites or changes to the story. will remain the same as I intend for this hack. ^^;

The only thing I may considering is, rehanging the title. I’ve decided that I’m gonna change up the title for the name as I’m starting to actually think the “The two blades” don’t seem to fit anymore for this hack. So in case if there is another hack name of the title of it… if anyone can let me know or I’ll do my own research of looking. (if there is, I will change it to something else or revert back to Two Blades.) I am gonna dub this, “Fire Emblem - Vengeance” So why Vengeance you may ask? Well, while taking a walk with a doggo, I really never had an actual name for the hack TBH. I gave the “Two Blades” as this hack cause I did had an idea for two swords but looking back on it, I feel like it doesn’t line up with the vision of it. Only gave it a quick idea name for it.

Since I assume it would be stuck with it but I think with the theme I’m going with… I’m feeling this seems to work better for it. So it might be the actual name for the hack now with the writing for a bit of bit.

I’m not sure when I’ll be getting into it. but I do attend to actually get some part of the chapters done maybe in… I wanna say in August? you know what, yeah. August for sure but other wise, maybe September at the latest. I do attend to make 20 chapter but will be just making 15 chapters for now. or well, once I finish it. I might have an idea of how much chapter there will be for it.

So for now, will be focus on Bugfixes, adding in remaining Portraits, and Add/Changing to text as well. So expect a 0.2.1 some point later in Late April for it.

So will say, apologies for the long wait. >w< and will get to it. It is a promise.

TD;TR
Remembered password, Been busy and no motivations. But got back into it. Rechanging up title name. will be focusing on Text/Writing and main focus, bigfixing, Adding in remaining/Change Text and remaining Portraits. 0.2.1 - Bigfix in Late April.
