[FE8] Cerulean Crescent (31 chapters) [COMPLETE] (2.0 Update: Release the Birds!)

I started playing this hackrom and i have a question,i give Ellerie eye for an item,does this change the something important? Either way i will to continue to play like this

It adds a few story events later, but doesn’t change the main plot.

We only get to create one monster?, is still pretty damn cool either way though

Now I said no more major gameplay updates. Quality of updates however…

Special thanks to Knabepicer for updating Telon and Dune!

However, the real special stuff:
Acielle can truly put the fear of god into her enemies now! Certified Knabepicer banger.

I’ve thought of chapter 1 to be easy, but I admit, learning the skills and kits of 6 units on the spot is throwing the player into the deep end.
To cushion that, I’ve added an optional tutorial that introduces the mechanics of the starting cast.
Also, for any newcomers to CC reading this, let me know if the tutorial is intuitive/makes sense.

Quicksaving has been replaced by the less finnicky ā€˜rewind to the start of turn on resume.’
Cerulean Crescent.emulator-232

I used that function for a turn display instead. Not useful, but it’s here.

The elite enemies in the late game now have a different icon rather than a boss icon to differentiate them.

Some color coding to make menu options more readable.
(Yellow for seize/escape/promote/visit and blue for non-attack/staff commands)

Other stuff:

  • Chapter 9 avatar no longer needs to remade on restarting chapter (but you can if you choose to.)
  • Lilac’s summon now refreshes per chapter.

Wait… you mean Lilac’s summon didn’t before?

Nope. He was permanently gone if he died before

Nice tutorial intended solution that relies on not missing two 98s, I bring here the 100% reliable secret solution.

Anyway I’ll drop the review at some point in the future, been pending for a while, for now just letting the world know this is my favorite hack.

Spoiler Question

So I wanna do a second playthrough using certain units I haven’t before and that I’m intresting in story wise. But I also have a question or two I’m curious about. Is there anyway to make Quilan survive? and can the cyclops become the best again?

Qiulan cannot make it.
Iosaf will only become the best if Vermillion defeats him in c4.

Hey, I want to say your hack is really good! There are so many cool ideas that I want to put in my own future hack!

Though, If it is not too hard, What wisdom or lesson would you share about rom hacking in general?

I am starting to dabble into creating my own hack. Though I haven’t hacked due to time constraints and being stuck in Mac. However, I am starting to try to learn skills to start my own hack like drawing pixel art.

I hope I can create a hack as good as your own hack and other hacks too!

Wish you the best of luck in your future hackrom endeavours.


The wise council gave me these suggestions:

  • don’t let popular video games take your title first

  • romhacking sucks don’t do it

  • I’m certainly not wise and I haven’t learned a damn thing

  • be insecure about having a weak lord

  • dont rename your hack based on elden ring

My actual ā€˜wisdom’ is if you have an issue, someone’s probably had it before and ctrl F on FEU discord saves a lot of time.

I can’t escape in the very first chapter, i use the command and the units stand there blocking the way u.u any help?

This is a totally new problem. As in the escape command just doesn’t appear when they’re on the escape tile?

Hi, it seems that something went wrong while patching, done it again and the problem disappear, but to answer your question, the command appeared in yellow but when i select it, the units turn grey as if they have finished the turn. Thanks for the answer :grin:

Glad it worked? I am spooked by the possibility of some new error I’ve overlooked. Praying it’s somehow a one-off issue lol

Hello !

First thing first : Amazing hack, I love it. Each character is so unique !!

4 questions though :

  1. The discord link has expired, impossible to join anymore. Could you refresh it ?

  2. How does Acielle skill works exactly ? Sounds like her attack speed is set to 99 but mine could not double the enemies sometimes. Maybe I overlooked something like their weapons…

  3. I’m chapter 7x, some old guy asks me for 2000 Gold. Definitely not the first time it happens in the game, and I am wondering : is there always a reward for giving my gold, somehow ? Or sometimes it’s just for the story and nothing else ? lol

  4. Stats on the profile screen all share the same color : yellow. But on a video that I watched, sounds like in a previous version of the game high GR would be green, and low GR would be in red. Any reason why you removed that feature ?

Thanks for the game, I love it. Lot of fun.

Cherish can’t double, if that was the weapon you were using.

  1. Discord link seems to be unexpired.

  2. What Knab said about Cherish I think?

  3. You get a free coffee all the way in 14.

  4. I felt like all yellow looked better.

Hope you continue to enjoy the hack,
