Hello! I come to you as part of a member of Team Promise, a group of hackers who off-and-on have been working on a redux of our very own. With people all over FEU putting their hands in on this project. Big and small name hackers, all coming together for a game we love.
If you’d like to know specifics, the team is listed down in the credits. But for short, we have such credentials spanning from TMGC, to Justice and Pride, Drums of War, Cerulean Crescent, to many who even worked on Call of The Armor, alongside many, many other talented people.
This is, before anything else, a love letter to FE8, a swansong to refine everything that we’ve both once loved and learnt to appreciate on our time hacking this game. One which has taken us more hours to create than we could count on both hands.
Overall, you can expect this to have quite a more bite than usual FE8, with maps both big and small getting minute and major changes. All hopefully still having that same feel, but greatly improved where they missteped. With the same amount going towards keeping a faithfulness to the original writing, while breathing new life into the underexplored aspects of the game.
We all hope you’ll enjoy playing our rebalance as we loved making it.
Features & Screenshots
Overhauled Weapons
Coming with improvements big and small, all to make the play experience shaken up, but still feel at home in regular FE8.
Improved Old & New Allies
Some of them you may already know, with many basegame units having overwent rigorously tested changes to make them feel more varied and engaging instead of being as plain who is top-tier, while not losing the spirit of why people like them.
Not only that, but the once small roster has been expanded, with tons of characters joining the fray. Ranging from the upstanding types you’d expect, to even some of the seedier sort!
Supports, with Paired Endings!
Supports as a whole have been quickened a little, and many new joiners have supports. Some with other new joiners, others with established members of the cast to keep them on equal footing to rest. With some all new depth to explore.
Overhauled Music
FE8’s tracks are iconic, but we’ve taken the time to introduce new songs, all put in by the talented ArcherBias to give a refreshing new feel to every chapter.
(There’s no good way to visualize this one, so you’ll just have to trust my word haha)
Secrets for all!
While none of these will completely shake up the game, we’ve done our dues to provide varied hidden events in many maps. Some in places you’d think to check, and others more hidden, some of which may even be reflected in-narrative.
Last of all..
A Special Postgame Challenge
For anyone who makes it to postgame, a challenge greater than the Demon King or the Lagdou Ruins awaits…With an incredibly special reward if you win.
