[FE8] No branched Promotion Edition

Projects
, ,
1

This is a small hack idea I came up with that removes all branched promotions and makes FE8 function more like FE6 and FE7. I have also removed all units that start in newer classes such as Great Knight or Rogue, and reassigned them to their counterparts. You can find a list of the changes I’ve made below. If anyone has suggestions, I would be glad to hear them! It is inspired by @user ltranc ‘Alternative Promotions’ patch.
As a result of these changes, the following classes are no longer available: Pirate, Great Knight, Wyvern Knight, Mage Knight, Rogue, Ranger, and Summoner. Rennac has been changed into an Assassin and now carries a Lockpick in his inventory, and Duessel has been changed into a Paladin. His Silver Axe has also been replaced with a Silver Sword. Aside from that, this is simply the classic FE8 experience, unchanged.

It seems I made a small oversight and forgot to remove the branched promotions for the trainee classes. I’ll take care of this immediately.

Ya ik she is a good general but like its that vs paladin or making them go down their super paths.

which honestly both hurt besides ewan who becomes a user of all 3 magic types.

If you defeated Rennac in Chapter 14, he would drop the Member Card, right?

I chose the Armor Knight path intentionally, since you already have a large number of Cavalier units such as Seth, Franz, Forde, Kyle, and Orson and with this patch, Duessel is now also available as a Paladin. Allowing Amelia to promote as an Armor Knight helps add a bit more class variety to the roster. I may work on an alternative branched promotion patch that would give Amelia the option to promote into either a Great Knight or a Paladin.

Keep your choices dont worry about it lets see how everything runs before updating anything.

if anything return Dussel to a great knight first if you want to test less Paladins

This patch was originally created to make FE8 feel more like FE6 and FE7. I may come back to it in the future to make some revisions or explore alternative versions.

Duessel’s main flaw was his movement… and now he’s a paladin so he is officially seth #2!

All third class branch options for the Trainee classes should be removed. I have illustrated all applicable promotions with the characters in the graphics below.
