[FE8] [Completed] Aurelia 2017 - 1 chapter experiment

Aurelia 2017 is a spin off of sorts to my current main procect, being an expansion on the FE7 PME “The Blazing Silver” turning it into a more original experience. It takes place 1 year before the Lyn mode of that hack and two years before the Eliwood/Hector mode of that game. Thus the game takes place in 2017.
In case you become interested in the main project, here: [FE7] [COMPLETE] Fire Emblem: The Blazing Silver PME v1.0b
I actually finished the project now so if you want to play the big main thing of mine here: [FE7] [Complete] Elysium Ablaze - A FE7 PME expanded upon [16 Chapters]

Anyhow Aurelia 2017 is something I will gift my mom for her birthday. (Her birthday isn’t today, I made sure to finish this project early.)
It is a rom hack designed around a low durability meta, using the fact it is a super short game to allow for a low durability game. You need to use STEAL and CAPTURE to make sure you obtain new weapons for your party.


I also tried my hand at a “No redundency” design as while I usually don’t like such design, it being a 1 chapter game makes every unit a forced use and thus I might as well make them more unique using two skills per character.

Your 8 Units








It is mainly an experiment to try my hand at different types of design that I usually do. It may not be the greatest chapter ever made, but I hope that doing something unique will still make it fun.

Here is a small preview of the 1 chapter.

I had a lot of fun with this little Hack it made me think about how to run around stealing and capturing enemies to get more weapon which is a fun mechanic to have in game.
The story about having to fight bandits to get the materials you need to build the orphanage was a nice little story to read.
Thank You so much for making this and sharing it with us @TritraSerpifeu :heart:

Thanks! I am glad this little experiment went well. Honestly, I should probably try Thracia some day. From what I know Thracia has capture and steal+. Might be fun to do more with this.

Highly recommend Thracia and Super Thracia
