[FE8] An Unexpected Caller (22 Chapters) [COMPLETE]

Excited to see this release. Was fun to “sample” and “remix” vanilla in this way. The limitations we gave ourselves fostered some neat ideas, and it was always enjoyable to see how certain characters, maps, and dialogue, were recontextualized to make something that felt fresh (despite its appearances). The end result is zany narratively and fun to play.

Kudos to Archer for leading the charge and keeping up the momentum this time.

Well now.
The FEE3 feed for this one popped up unexpectedly, and now this too, pops up unexpectedly.

It must be a sign!

I’ll play this when I have the chance for sure!

Completed, you say? Well then, let’s give it a try…

Edit: okay, no. When I saw the Telephone format I thought that maybe this would be good. I mean, Bells of Byelen is awesome after all, with a serious story and all. Meanwhile, I am 3 chapters far in this one and nothing makes sense. Will and Lynn not knowing each other, characters from fe8, Knoll appearing for no reason in a village, saying that “Knoll says trans is right”, whatever he meant (thanks for the no explanation longbow, by the way). It feels like this is some kind of meme or joke game, which is fine, but it’s not my cup of tea. I can only hope the rest of you enjoy what I can’t.

Honestly, Telephone hacks have always had a kind of unhinged sense of humor in places.

Kind of a tradition with community-made group hacks, really.

Though this one feels a tad… hm. What’s a good word for it…?

Eh, maybe it’ll be better in context.

Pushed out 1.0.4, which fixes a potentially devastating bug in Chapter 15

Puzon also received some fairly major buffs due to some feedback, I think units are in a solid place atm but lord feeling bad sucks so:

  • +5% Str
  • +1 HP/Skl/Spd/Res
  • Gale Blade +1 Might
