FE8, But Seth and Innes Are Swapped

Inspired by user @Luigiofthegods (Profile - Luigiofthegods - Fire Emblem Universe) and other user on the /r/FireEmblem discord server (@whooper0149, @captainfishing, @serifaizawa, @josel6014 and @ls72). Here is a small patch that swap Seth and Innes.

I’m a bit hesitant, but I’ve decided to create a FEUniverse page for the Seth and Innes Swap hack. While it may seem unnecessary to some, this is likely the only patch I’ll release this year. I just want to contribute, even if it’s small, and share it with the community.

Changes
  • Seth and Innes have been swapped.
  • Seth and Innes portrait are swapped.
  • Innes wields the Beacon Bow, now renamed ‘Innes’ Bow,’ which boasts a range of 1-2.
Ideas
  • Giving his weapon a Brave Effect.
  • Making his Bow have Range 1-3.
  • Making his Bow have Range 1-3 and giving it a Brave Effect.
  • Doubling the Growths of Innes.
  • Growth Rates: Max HP 75% Luck 45% Strength 40% Defense 20% Skill 40% Resistance 25% Speed 45%
  • Double Growth Rates: Max HP 150% Luck 90% Strength 80% Defense 40% Skill 80% Resistance 50% Speed 90%
  • Making an exclusive Sniper class for Innes.
  • Removing the 1-2 Range Personal weapon Bow
  • Adding Iron and Steel or Shortbow to the Ch2 armory + world map
  • Swapping Neimi with Orson.

This reminds me of my “Fe8 but Seth has galeforce but the game has forced tutorials” hack.

Good times.

I apologize as this is my first official patch or romhack that I have made. I hope to create and release a more meaningful project, rather than just making a simple character swap.

Oh, please, don’t take that seriously. I was just fooling around haha. Still, hey, there’s an idea if you want to update the thing.

Thank you for the suggestion! I truly appreciate any feedback, as it helps me learn the process of creating a patch or ROM hack in the future and understand how it works.

If you want to do simple swaps like this…

Self randomizers info

It’s also possible to do it ingame in the self randomizers. They include every playable character from the fe series, and you can choose who becomes who, their starting class, base stats, growths, and more.

But simple hacks like these are good practice for using febuilder anyway, and you will have more control over the game by editing the rom.

I apologize if my ROM hack appears trivial compared to others showcased here. However, my primary goal was to upload and release something as a learning experience to better understand how this process works. I do have a question: How can I create a window similar to your window that contains “Self Randomizers Info”? I would like to use it to list the changes I’ve made, as well as to include a credits section.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Sorry, I wasn’t trying to diminish your work. I just figured if you were only doing it to play the game with a character swap, you might appreciate knowing that it can be done ingame.

Oh, no—I didn’t interpret your message that way. I truly appreciate any genuine feedback and responses I receive from others! This will likely be the only patch, project, or ROM hack I release this year, whichever term you prefer. I’m focused on learning FEBuilder as thoroughly as possible and enjoy working on smaller projects until I feel confident enough to create my own rebalance or custom campaign in the future.

You gave Innes a prf Bow with infinite uses?! This is epic!
Edit: omg it has 1-2 range too, you truly created a sniper Jagen that doesn’t ever fall off
