Who’s on the project?
EDIT: Did you actually manage to actually assemble the whole original team?
For the most part, just me and Lumi, though a couple other originals like Sakusa are on call. Astra gave permission to take up the torch and threw all the graphical assets at us. Hilariously there’s enough spare that I can add a number of playable characters and still have enough bosses left to finish out the hack without the need to make a single extra portrait.
Let me know how I can help
Honestly, the LP’s already been invaluable for letting me see the original chapters in action…
will the isaach 2.0 country’s names be pronounceable this time around?
Onduris’ name conventions are being tightened in general. There’ll be fewer random Xs (Vixenk becomes vi’Shen, for one).
will asher come back
All playable characters in the original release - up to C17 - will remain playable, though a couple have been shifted around slightly (Inari/Nari now joins at the same time as Baldur and Lienn/Leda, for instance, while you get Gabriel at the start of his chapter rather than him showing up in the middle of nowhere in the fog). Asher’s still in his prologue village, though.
will the gameplay be the same level of difficulty as before? i hope not
Will you be retaining the difficulty of the old hack? I truly hope so because even though it was hard I enjoyed learning and growing as a Fire Emblem player oh so long ago.
In 2013 the assumption was that you were using savestates, in 2023 the assumption is that your game should hold up to an ironman run. So there’s a few fundamental changes to account for that: enemies will no longer give negligible XP, ambush spawns won’t be used (I’m not ruling out a few, telegraphed appearances, but I’m not planning on it yet; certainly it won’t be the norm) and there’s now a larger cast size to allow for deaths. That will all make it significantly easier, but I’m aiming to make the core gameplay tighter and more challenging to compensate.
(shoutouts to my two favorite bosses Nikita and Brielle having a covno)
