I noticed they’re hasn’t been one of these lying around and the only that did this had it removed by the Arthur. So I decided to make one.
Just a small project. Simple Character Swap Mod for FE7 that replaces it’s characters with those from FE6.
This also includes Japanese Gameplay differences (3 Def/ 30 Avoid Thrones & Gates, 3x Weapon Effectiveness, many bosses with restored stats, no Blue Gem, slight change in inventory for a handful of enemies, and 2 doors that open every other turn in the Final Chapter).
Here’s the list Characters with whom I swapped
Eliwood > Roy
Hector > Lilina
Lyn > Sue
Marcus > Marcus
Lowen > Noah
Rebecca > Dorothy
Bartre > Wade
Dorcas > Lot
Mathew > Chad
Oswin > Bors
Serra > Elen
Guy > Rutger
Erk > Lugh
Priscilla > Clarine
Florina > Shanna
Sain > Lance
Kent > Alen
Wil > Wolt
Raven > Dieck
Lucius > Saul
Canas > Raigh
Dart > Geese
Fiora > Tate
Legault > Cath
Ninian > Larum
Isadora > Zelot
Rath > Shin
Heath > Zeiss
Hawkeye > Garret
Wallace > Dounglas
Geitz > Bartre
Farina > Juno
Pent > Hugh
Louise > Igrene
Harken > Echidna
Karel > Karel
Nino > Sophia
Jaffar > Astore
Viada > Melady
Karla > Fir
Nils > Elffin
Renault > Niime
Athos > Yoder
All FE6 characters are exactly the same as they are in their original game, from class, bases, and growths to even whom they support with. Characters have been autoleveled when needed by their growths. Only 2 character bases that have been somewhat modified outside their growths are Karel and Juno.
Recruitment has changed for a few characters as well.
Sue or Dorothy recruits Saul
Cath recruits Bartre
Wade, Lot, Geese, or Larum recruits Echidna
Bartre can also recruit Karel
and Noah is the one who recruits Fir (Must be a Lv 5 Paladin)
Also, Hugh and Igrene are NOT a hardcoded couple.
This Mod also includes Hard mode from the beginning plus various other QoL patches.
Honestly, this mod is more of a challenge due to FE6 characters being worse in general than FE7 characters. Even the simple change of replacing Hector with Lilina has drastic gameplay changes. It’s no longer bulldoze with Hector but now protect Lilina because how much of a liability she is. In all, the gameplay feels more puzzling and complex and I enjoyed playing this more than the Vanilla Version tbh. Looking forward to ironmaning it. Anyways, here’s the patch.
