[FE8] Fire Emblem: A Destiny Unearthed - [Complete]

:waving_hand:

Hey guys, I’ve finally finished my Fire Emblem 8 rom hack. It features a completely custom story, tons of custom animations, items, sprites of all kinds and more!

-Many chapters | Spoiler for number of chapters → (29 of them)
-Many new playable classes with new promotions
-Many new items to enjoy
-Many familiar game mechanics with a boost through patches
-Complete with custom supports and multiple custom spell tomes

Apologies in advance, but no gaiden chapters (at least you won’t miss anything)

**been fixing the download link cuz I keep forgetting to polish things. If you have “The One”
lance, maybe don’t use it lol

-I’d advise everyone continue to check this thread for updates as the bugs are getting fixed slowly-

Known bugs

In the few last chapters, do not skip the event with the “Start” button. Skip the event slower with the B button. If you skip through the entire event, the enemies will not load correctly

-Chapter 18. A certain obvious unit becomes nearly immortal, but may also disappear on the next turn. This seems to depend on something that differs from decisions the player makes somewhere… The chapter seems to be beatable normally once he disappears though…

Bug fixes

Been fixing a bug with the AI on chapter 1. SHOULD be good now…
-ch 16 end event
-ch 21 end event

Story

This story mainly follows a duo of thieves seeking to restore balance to the clans they once knew. Things get complicated as the rival clan claims power and becomes out of control. Seek help throughout the lands from those who find themselves in a similar position. You’ll need them just as much as they need you…

Sweet! Another finished project to sink my teeth into. Always like to ask, any secrets to uncover and what is the intended difficulty.

Any secrets in the game are hinted at where they are in a chapter, so just keep your eyes open for that. There is actually only 1 difficulty and id say its medium to hard. A decent challenge, but probably not a problem for expert players

Sweet! Thanks for the info!

I got through the first two chapters. I liked how the peg.knight started with an axereaver already and that the sword lord could steal an item from the boss. Very nice showing of their capabilities. Although, if I had to nitpick something…


It’s really weird to see the brigand class represented though the war monk sprite lol.

chapter 2 was nice, the wyverns from behind made sure I got a good enough position to defend my hunter from them.

Big spoilers


Noooooooo

Another nitpick, is this guy not supposed to move?

I’ll keep playing the game now, it looks promising. Also also, I enjoy the modest use of skills.

First off, I have loved your game so far! So many new features and quirks and a nice difficulty balance. I like the balance of growths and lower bases. And many other things! However, after defeating the boss in chapter 16, my rom crashes. It cues a chaotic endgame scene immediately on finishing the chapter, and if I skip it, it brings me to the game over screen. Just wanted to let you know!

Congrats on the fruit of all your effort, I really enjoyed what I played.

Really appreciate the feedback and the fact that you see potential. I figured the war monk sprite was fine because I mostly wanted a barbarian feel to them since im a fighter hater. Also yes that dude is supposed to move, but the AI has been problematic for a while. still gotta fix it huh..

oh wow you’re so far already. thanks for playing. wow yeah let me take a look at that chapter 16 error jeez

Chapter 16 should work now

Hey, I don’t know if this is just a me issue, but I can’t actually download the game because the file seems to be in your trash folder, or at least that’s the message that pops up when I click the Google Drive link.

I just updated the link due to a couple more random bugs. It should be functional now!
