It’s recommended to use VBA (or the Delta emulator), as other emulators (MGBA) seems to carry the most bugs in the game.
Fire Emblem Sealed Hope is a FE8 Rom Hack that was worked on as a hobby, and has been in development for years. It takes ideas from various Fire Emblem titles while balancing itself in it’s own way. Difficulty comparison-wise, Normal is similar to FE7 difficulty, while Hard is similar to FE6.

Errors & Bugs
If there is a bug you would like to report, please mention the following so I can try to resolve it:
- Emulator (VBA, MGBA, Delta, 3DS Injection, other)
- Device (PC, Laptop, iPhone, Switch, 3DS, PSVita, other)
- Chapter number
The devices & emulators tested on an used was VBA for PC & Laptop, as well as the Delta emulator for iPhone. As such, it is recommended to use these for the most stable experience.
Errors:
- Multiple grammatical issues (cause I’m bad at grammar lol).
Bugs:
-
Chapter 4: Secret tile causes multiple game breaking bugs.
-
Chapter 4: Gala may appear as a playable Boy Civilian on the top left corner. She will crash the game when selected, and will disappear after the map ends. She will not appear in Chapter 11. She will reappear in Our Ending where selecting her will crash the game.
-
Chapter 19: End Event goes to Main Menu rather than ending the chapter.

The idea of Sealed Hope is that it has simple ideas, with more depth then considered. As an example: Tier 1 stats are capped at 20, which means early promotion can be considered. You can essentially play how you want. Do you want to plow through the game? Do you want to challenge yourself through limitations? Do you want to gain power through certain conditions? You can decide what you wish!
-
You can gain Bond Essence which are +1 to all stats, essentially making any unit capable, with some purposefully being worse with the idea that Bonds increase their strengths (also the weapon icon…lets say its a Potato.)
-
I’m not expecting the hack to be a “secret holy grail”, but a similar yet different take on how to approach a Fire Emblem game. Not too different, not too similar, whatever you want to interpretant that as.
-
Due to corruption (yay), some of my credits list was lost. Please, inform me if I forgot to credit a resource that I used so I may properly update the PDF.

I have a Youtube Channel where I upload stuff, maybe some Sealed Hope stuff will be on there in the future, maybe, somewhat, perhaps.
