[FE8] HoloEmblem: The Search for Seiso (42 Chapters) [v.1.8.2] Out Now!

Hello, I have been eyeing this hack since release and only had time to start playing it last weekend. I chose Yabai, 1rn, and random growth as settings. I got to the gg screen on chapter 1, lol.

Anyway, thank you for creating the romhack. I just hope the fast forward button will be added on later versions. I know there are options to fast forward on emulator but the sound just turns into an incomprehensible mess.

Also, don’t worry about me getting game over on chapter 1. I usually struggle on the early to mid of any FE game I play.

Duly Noted, it’s a script in the actual animation. Working on a fix!

I hope you enjoy the playthrough!

My level 20 assassin Pekora learned Focus instead of despoil. Not sure if its a bug or not. Redebuted and hit 20 again still no Despoil

That was changed very late into dev iirc. Mb, thank you for reporting

for that it serves the item ticket in the game

Is chapter 25, at the Haachama section, my cursor disappears. Is that intentional? What am I supposed to do?

EDIT: Fixed, I turned autocursor back on

No more bug reports, just wondering about strategies for dealing with phase 2 of chapter 26’s boss

3+ range weapons can help a ton, a fast unit with Nihil like Iroha or Zeta can make use of seal stacking with Amelia next to her.

There’s also using Kronii if you don’t have nihil or someone else, but it comes with risking her getting status affected if she gets hit. Units with cultured/nice thighs combo really helps reposition movement and curing the status effects.

I think I found two more bugs. Mahou Girl T2 Nene can attempt to use a HoloEmblem. It doesn’t do anything at all, but it could be confusing to some people. Also it seems that all units cap luck at 30 despite the bar and number saying it can go higher. Its not a big deal either, but i thought I’d bring it up since i haven’t seen it posted

duly noted, thank you!

Oh, you’d think I wasn’t savvy enough to see Kronii’s Clock Hands would deal effective damage to Amelia in chapter 25.

Would be a shame if I…

Use the Nullify scroll from Chapter 23x on Amelia and also use one of the Nihil Scrolls I got even earlier before that

Got through it by simply giving nihil, beating phase 1 in one round, and then dancing to get the second turn to do the same to phase 2

so there’re some things i’m considering atm regarding this game, while preparing for that I made a quick list of what all the currently implemented supports in-game currently can give you. putting it all in one post for easy consolidation.

Spoilers lol

If a skill has “Scroll” behind it, that means you get the skill scroll, not the skill itself (which also means you can assign the skill to somebody else)
the numbers in front of a character is just their position in unit data. i’m too lazy to remove it


Amelia
Notes: Zeta’s sword rank was set to C (from A base), not sure how or why that happened, though it might be how I tested.

Amelia’s support with Kronii has no B/A convo and no rewards either for A rank. This applies for all of the Kronii supports available currently in the game.


Reine


Mumei


Fauna


Miko
Notes: yes she gets devil’s pact by level up…


Suisei
Notes: yes the rabbit gets a skill that actually screws her over. peak design 10/10 so true ru
Also assuming Rat Magic and Inspiration scroll being added to Amelia’s inventory instead of Baelz’s is not intended behavior


Baelz
Notes: very big distinction between Mumei support and Gura support. You get the skill (onto Mumei), but the scroll instead (into Gura’s inventory).


Noel/Flare


Sora
Notes: Sora/Roboco has an A rank support conversation in data, but the support doesn’t seem to be able to trigger. Not sure what is going on here so I’m leaving it as that.


Kiara
Notes: Guessing Kiara/Calli support is meant so Kiara can actually reincarnate twice (and get one more batch of stat boosts)


Gura
Notes: i’m not sure if it’s possible for Shion to accidentally kill Gura lol, didn’t bother to check for myself. would be super funny though
Gura/Calliope - Gura gets the skill, Calli gets the scroll


Ina


Calliope
Notes: Lamy/Calli seems like the only way to get the super alcohol item. pity Calli joins so late though


Laplus/Iroha

notes: yes this is actually a thing
yes it is fucking ridiculous

will still need some time to work details out it’s 0 growths yabai mode lol but i think it’s doable, just need some careful planning

I was loving the game, but I got to chapter 8 and after any unit end his action the game stop and I cant do anything. The animation of the units keps going and the music keeps going but I cant do anything

I wish this is solved with a update, this game is fun

Would you happen to know what version you’re on? Maybe it’s an emulator issue or something?

I was playing version 1.8.2
I was playing in VBA (a older version I realice that when the problem happen) and then I copy the save game and try with VBA-M in retroarch, but the problem still happen
In that note, which emulator do you recommend?
I am willing to start again from scratch

The rom I use was Fire Emblem : The Sacred Stones [USA]. Is this the right one?

That is correct.

In the 1.8 patch notes it says casual mode was added, but I couldn’t figure out how to activate it. Do I have to beat the game before it becomes an option?
