Been playing this as soon as I saw the trailer drop a few hours ago and its been incredible so far. But I’m stuck replaying the first chapter over and over again trying to find any way possible to recruit Sten. Surely we can get this magnificent man to join our journey.

THE DAY WE HAVE AWAITED FOR SO LONG IS FINALLY UPON US! REJOICE, MY SIBLINGS IN ARMS!

Also I hope you recover from completion sickness soon! You deserve better than to feel like this on the big launch day, and I’m sorry you’re going through it.

I only played the prologue but I really like the blond androgynous cavalier. O..O,

Another completed Parrhesia hack?

It’s stuff like this that makes me glad I’m alive!

The j-arne-y begins!

For real though - so cool to be here. And at quite the pace - one thing I’m really just impressed by is the ability to get a project out and then across the finish line at a clip. Lots of projects languish for years or die in dev hell, so it builds quite a lot of “cred” for future projects too for players to know that there will be followthrough.

I’m actually like five chapters in as I’m posting this, and I will say it does already feel like it plays a little differently than it did before (for the better!). Not sure how many characters got tweaks, or how major they were, but I already do feel like some units I didn’t love the first time have felt like they have more of a role now (mostly looking at you Jasper!) Feels like there’s also more weapons to get your hands on early. Overall, its off to a great start.

Absolutely looking forward to getting through the rest of it! Get better soon!

Glad to see this release, and glad I could contribute to the project! It’s definitely worth starting over from scratch if you played the demo, btw, the earlygame’s a lot stronger

So excited to get into this one Parrhesia!

Quick question, all the supports are reading out as generic fe8 supports in the viewing menu instead of being blank or something. Is my rom bugged or is that normal?

The game doesn’t have support conversations, so that menu probably just shouldn’t be there.

Thanks!

You know we never realized we never posted a discord link so
here’s the link

it’s the same as the Do5 one

Does this have fixed growth rates? In the prologue I get the exact same stat growths for the MC every time.

No, that’s just a quirk of how the GBA generates random numbers.

Fun fact that NQR tries to HIDE from you:
If you don’t initiate combat on turn 1 or turn 2, solely go south, and don’t burn any additional RNs, Bronwyn will get an HP/Str/Spd level.

Oh good lol I was worried it had it implemented. I tried restarting the level and restarting the emulator and it was the same so I had to ask just to make sure

Also, is there a website like DOW or just a document where it shows the recruitment and growth rates of all units? I really enjoyed using that to help while playing.

Not yet.

Website will go up probably after a couple of patch cycles, when everyone’s stats settle in.

yeah the reason the website doesn’t exist yet is a combination of

  • I had a much higher workload than Do5 due to having to solo graphics instead of having a lot of stuff from 2013 that’s still largely good to use with some touchups
  • a little less motivated for it because the Do5 website was largely made as a credit management tool for portraits first and foremost, so when all of it’s mine it’s a bit less useful for that purpose
  • I did the fun part of webdev and there’s only data entry left :weary_face:

but it will come!
