Hi, I’m Falkyrie, FE noob and enemy of people who don’t like purple. FE7 was my first FE game and it is still my favorite character wise, but since I’m a casual player and my favorite characters tend to be weak as hell (I always deploy every single archer I’ve available), I decided to do some rebalancing. This hack wasn’t made with the intent of making an objectively better FE7, but simply a better FE7 for my particular taste - and as practice, since this is my first hack.
Base
First and foremost, I used Mkol’s Enhancement Patch as the base for this balance patch, since it has a ton of QoL features, like being able to select the game mode from the get go, health bars, 3x weapon effectiveness, etc…
If you want an enhanced experience, instead of an alternate one, here is a link to his patch: FE6 + FE7 + FE8 Plus [Enhancement Patch]

That’s it. I plan on adding a playable tactician in the future, but holy sh%# that’ll be hard to pull off.
