[FE8] ANOTHER Sacred Stones Remake [Version 1.06]

Projects
,
1

This is a Sacred Stones that is meant to be very similar to the base game, but with the skill systems patch and many QoL patches enabled. I have not playtested the project extensively, but I don’t believe there are any issues with the rom hack. If this is an issue and you know how to convert it into a ups please let me know. This is my first working on the FEUniverse website, so there are likely many mistakes everywhere. For the changes to the skill system, most base classes will gain skills at levels 7 and 12. Most promoted classes will gain skills at level 5. The skill balancing is quite unhinged. Dancers have the ability to use swords, staves, and all types of magic. Eirika and Ephraim have the optionsto promote into Hero for Eirika and General for Ephraim if you don’t promote at the event at the end of Chapter 16. At least, that’s what should happen. Many growths, stats, and maps have not been changed, but will in a future update. Any feedback is GREATLY appreciated, as this is my first time creating a rom hack. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the hack.

add custom music and more

I think you gotta fix the link

Op probably can’t post links yet so that might be the reason

Fair enough.

I’m trying to keep the core features of the rom hack as close to original, so I won’t be changing music. However, I will change stats and growths in the future.

So I was wondering if I could receive your assistance for my rom hack, because currently the game crashes when I open chests, the item menu, and likely more than just that. If you have any advice on how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.

change the map design to make it better and add strong enemies

Is the game crashing for you? If not, can you redownload and see if it does?

11

Just tried patching to a USA FE8 rom and it said it isn’t compatible
Maybe that’s why it crashes for you? What rom should I patch?

12

I realized the problem, I’m fixing it currently. Thanks for reaching out though.

Alright, I believe I fixed it. I had the wrong CRC32 value.

I only played a couple chapters, because I realized I’m not really in the mood for another Sacred Stones playthrough right now, but I did load the ROM into FEBuilder to see the skills everyone got, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt. Honestly, I like the idea of the game being vanilla Sacred Stones, but being entirely rebalanced by giving characters skills.

This is very much a trend in all the FE games I’ve played (except 4 & 5), but I don’t think every character/class needs to have the same amount of skills. If you’re not opposed to it, I would suggest giving the worse characters and classes more/much stronger skills to balance them out. I think this is more of an issue for the classes, as some of the promotion branches seem even worse balanced than in vanilla (Paladin vs. Great Knight, for instance. Canto+ and Discipline vs. Pivot and -2 movement). I actually think the fliers’ options are really cool, though. Falcoknight vs Wyvern Knight is slightly better bulk and the ability to more reliably kill things vs. Luna & doubling a couple more enemy types. And Wyvern Lord getting funny amounts of crit seems super fun.

I do REALLY like some of the skills you chose for the characters, though. All of the trainees and Marisa, for example, actually seem usable, and even pretty good in Ross or Marisa’s case, even without changing their stats. L’Arachel still seems like a pain to train up, though, which is a shame, because of how fun she is to use once she actually promotes. Now, you could raise her level, or, choose what I would do, and give her like 5 different funny skills to make training her more viable.

Will erika/ephiram get stoned (either definition is fine)?

16

Either Eirika/ Ephraim gets stoned for one turn after they attack or their opponent does :joy:

17

Thanks for your input! I’ll be sure to implement your suggestions, but currently I’m working on changing stats and growths. Thanks very much for compliments as well, and again thanks for your help!

18

Ik this is a kinda personal request but id recommend adding the War Monk class might make maps harder with healing units that have good bulk in both res and def you could add bolt axes and make that their weapon so they can use magic or str based on which would do more damage

19

I’m not sure on adding new classes right now, because I don’t want to change too much; but I also implemented dancers having attacks so I don’t know how much I want to change just yet. Thanks for your suggestion, though.

20

No problem War Monk is a fun class to mess around with as you can make them mix bulky and if you add skills make them annoying with warry fighter so you cant double them and make them annoying to remove.
