This looks like a fun rebalance, and yay for it coming with those QoL patches already in place. And purple Eliwood suits him surprisingly well, I dig it.
Was the intention of the buff to all the Lyn mode characters’ growth rates to reward the player for going through Lyn mode instead of skipping straight to start with Hector or Eliwood’s path?
If I can make a random suggestion if you’re thinking about changing things about promotion items, I agree with liking the flavor of the different promotion items, but it would be so convenient to get a Fell Contract at some point earlier in the game, I know whenever I play FE7 casually one of the thieves is always capped at 20 wayy before I get the chance to promote him.
Yes yes yes. I’d say make Legault join with a Fell Contract as a reference to him cutting ties with the Black Fang (his “old contract” is ending/“falling”).
I don’t think so. Besides the technical challenge, I can’t think of a single character - other than Mark - that could be added in a lore friendly manner. Like, take Leila for example. I could make her join you at some point, but her death is mentioned in various supports and cutscenes, so it wouldn’t make much sense unless I changed that - which I want to avoid because then it starts getting a little too fanficky to my liking.
