[FE8] [Completed] The Sacred Trilogy Reskin and Rebalance

No. Mobile, lol

Hello, incredible hack! I have a quick question. How do I get Surveying Kits for Anna’s skill? I just beat the story on the Full version, Anna is has the skill Survey and I havent been able to find the items.

You can buy surveying kits in one of the two secret shops in the lagdou ruins.

Thank you. Literally the last place I haven’t looked yet.

Thank you.

hi!!! I downloaded VBA recently and wanted to try playing Fire Emblem. This hack is the very first FE game I’ve ever played and I love it so much - I have 30h on it already and expect to put in many more. so much of what makes the game enjoyable for me is stuff you’ve done. I love Skill Scrolls, I like using Fixed Growth Rates, and THE MAGIC SYSTEM!!! Spellcasters are by far by fave unit in the game - the very first character I got an S-level mastery was Lute with Anima. I never get tired of sitting back and watching her decimate enemies with Wind (which is my fave spell by far).
Speaking of!! I adore the animations. I know there’s an option to turn em off but personally I can’t fathom playing the game without em. I mentioned Lute, but Garcia and Gilliam also have animations I never tire of. Seeing Garcia smack enemies with his Axe is great. and I’ve had so many moments of pushing Gilliam up, ending my turn, and gleefully watching enemies deal tiny amounts of damage to him before getting pierced by his spear (the chain in the lance animation for the General class is. so. fucking. good.)
The QOL improvements are a godsend. As someone who gets overwhelmed by information, the coloured stats are so nice to have. And as someone who (ironically) likes having as much information as possible before making a move, the detailed minimugs, detailed HP bars, and enemy range visualiser is so incredibly useful. I am utterly amazed at how much of what I love about Sacred Trilogy wasn’t in the original game it was hacked from. Words truly can’t express what a stellar job you did. You should be proud.
I haven’t even finished my current campaign and I’m already looking forward to trying new characters and classes in the next one! I’m the kinda person who loves sinking her teeth into games for a longgg time - for context, I’m still on Chapter 11 lol. I wanted to do Hard difficulty for my first playthrough, and I don’t save between chapters. I average 5-20min per turn as I figure out the optimal moves to make and I love it. The knowledge that there’s still so many more classes to explore and enemies to fight and skills to unlock and weapons to find makes me unbelievably giddy with happiness. I genuinely think I’ll be playing Sacred Trilogy for years to come. Thank you for making it! Thank you to everyone who helped make it!! Thank you!!! ^v^

I’m absolutely blown away by how awesome this ROMhack is. Everything looks and feels great. I love that collecting enough skills means you can crack the game wide open. Hard actually feels challenging instead of going overboard and requiring godly RNG. The guide in the description is perfect for a completionist like me. My only (small) gripes are that Support conversations are locked to 5 per character (forgot there was a limit), and that Pirate and Fighter share Berserker and Warrior promotions (poor Ross). Looking forward to crushing the post game!

I encountered an odd bug when playing chapter 7: a Fighter was adjacent to the western ballistae, and when Colm moved into melee range by standing on the ballistae, his range showed that of the ballistae instead of his sword. I didn’t try to execute an attack in this way for fear of causing a crash or something similar.

I also noticed that the Axe Cavaliers on chapter 6 show the unit card for the Sword Cavalier. Not a bug - just figured there wasn’t a suitable art asset or it got overlooked.

That’s just a normal bug where the regular range overlaps with the ballista range, even if the unit isn’t capable of using the ballista itself. Besides that, the game shouldn’t allow you to attack using the ballista range anyways so i don’t think there’s any problems with that

Odd bug where I gave Erika Imbue…and she doesn’t have it :frowning:

BTW This is a phenomenal project! Extremely enjoyable!

Did you give it to her via the prep menu or convoy while she already had 4 other skills? (i say for because you can’t remove personal or class skills)

From the manage items menu on the main map

Edit: Hacked it into the local shop and then applied it mid map. Worked perfectly!

yeah, you gotta do it that way otherwise the skill will be lost, GBA skill hacking is finicky like that.

Thanks for this. Was struggling super hard. Couldn’t get anywhere. Two shot with Luna with Erika :joy:

IF you use VBA. You can use Memory Viewer to check. The class is 32bit.

Memory Viewer?

So I just finished Lagdou Ruins 10 (2nd run) and wondering why I didn’t get Wishblade even though I defeated the Champion and dealt the killing blow on specific boss with specific character - all on the same run.

If I failed to get it, will the Champion still be there when I rerun the ruins?
