"I’ve been reading from “The Glossary of Falibrian Entomology” lately….-Lute, Fire Emblem:The Sacred Stones
Across the sea of Magvel lies the small continent of Falibria. Known to many as the “New World”, in the past hundred-odd years it has been colonised by those seeking a new life…forming a kingdom known as the Taleezian Alliance.
Its sister country-the smaller but densely populated Vrothia, was briefly ruled by a monarchy. However, a bloody uprising occurred ten months ago, leading to the execution of Vrothia’s “Mad King Og” and the dissolution of its military.
Although bereft of leadership and standing army, its hardy people return to hunting and farming their land of near constant rainfall–or pillaging from those who do. The lucky few who can rise above the nationalistic dogma of Taleezia find work there as merchants or bodyguards.
Though the older generation feels despondent regarding Vrothia’s future, there are those who believe the newer generation have the strength to rise up and liberate its people from the chains of depression. Many dream of a Falibria where Vrothia could one day join the Taleezian Alliance with the freedom to live in peace.
A mysterious bard who has ties to both the Vrothian resistance and Taleezian nobility. The adopted son of a bandit leader who dreams of a better life for his found family-The Southern Daggers. Can these two unlikely allies forge a path to peace in the land of Falibria? Take up the mantle as the commander of Refulgence and become the bearer of Liberty’s Beacon!
About the Dev
Hi, I’m CanDy! Otherwise known as Cygnus. You may know me from such classic works like [FE10 Stat Screen] and [White Wolf portrait] that most people default to when they add a dog to their hack.
Liberty’s Beacon is a solo-dev project I have been (slowly, and I mean SLOWLY) working on as a side-hobby. I haven’t played any romhacks to completion currently, but I aim to finish more so I can understand what people do differently than IntelligentSystems. My favourite Fire Emblem games are Radiant Dawn and Conquest. I am currently still working out the bits and pieces of the plot, so the finished product of the story may look very different from what my original intent was.
It began as a challenge to myself to start something that I could see to completion. My vision(quest) is to create a hack that I can enjoy playing on repeat play-throughs where the enemy quality is similar to Radiant Dawn Normal Mode [NA] with a scarcity in skills beyond what I deem necessary to remove cognitive load on the player. As much as I love Conquest, I do not love keeping track of Skills. My genuine hope is that other people can enjoy my hack too, and that I am able to take everybody’s feedback to heart without feeling like my personal worth is attached to the project.
Features:
-The truncation of magic. Dark Tomes now share a weapon rank with Anima and are used exclusively by Dark Mages(Shamans)and Sorcerers. Light tomes also share a rank with Anima and are now used exclusively by Mages and Sages.
-Knights and Generals now have 5 and 6 mov respectively.
-Changes to the promotion paths of vanilla FE8 classes. No branching promotions here.
-Minimal Skills:Barring niche cases like Locktouch/Steal/Canto, most units will have a Movement skill and not much else. This is to help facilitate player expression in strategy for this hack!
-Look out for EXP Brews! Only found through house events or by stealing from enemies, these items will grant you 20 EXP when consumed. Use them on your favourites or if somebody needs to catch up. The choice is up to you!
-Out of the ordinary units such as Field Medic (Thief Healer), Marauder (Axe Thief), and Spiderskin! (Spider Manakete)
-Cheaper Prep Shops! Prep Shops now sell up to 20 different items per chapter, with some items being sold in the Prep Shop for one chapter only. Buy while supplies last!
-Map Promotion! Classes will be able to be promoted without a Master Seal upon reaching Level 20, and this level requirement may get lowered depending on the class in a future update. Think Pokémon. Master Seals are still invaluable for their ability to promote classes at Level 10.
-Increased map range for support gain. (Although I may remove supports in a future update and just keep talk conversations)
-Adjusted stat caps for Tier 1 classes! Gone are the days of every tier 1 Class having 20 caps across the board. Now some may have higher or lower Caps before promotion depending on their specialisation. For example, Outlaws have a Str Cap of 15 and Knights have a Def Cap of 23.
Current Patch
