Just beat my first run an hour ago or so. Really liked this hack! I played with fixed growths and on hard mode regrettably. I think most of the new chapters added are pretty cool, I liked the switching between armies and the split of what units went with who made pretty okay sense to me. The paralogue chapters were pretty cool imo.The beach paralogue chapter was my probably my favorite of the new chapters. I admittedly didn’t use the new units too much outside of eddy and Ethan, so i didn’t see too many of the new supports. I might do another playthrough and try to spice it up more. Overall really cool fe8 overhaul, i’ve only just gotten into fe romhacks and i’ve loved most everything ive played so far,

Very Nice Hack! I just finished a first run of the hack (v2.4), and I encountered no bugs or anything weird. The new chapters and characters are very cute. The balance in skills and growth is amazing (Syrene and Dussel’s growth is THE BEST; I finally can get the two generals on the final chapters!) The route merging here meets all my expectations. The resource Excel doc is really helpful for me, so I don’t have to play the same chapter twice to recruit a character. I appreciate that the hack didn’t ban Arena, allowing casual players like me to enjoy the game without too much challenge, even in Maddening mode (btw, Seth can revenge in Prologue had me laughing for 5 minutes, rofl).
Yet the no world map after the epilogue reeally disappointed me–well, not that much but-- I was planning to replay the game since I’d like a full collection of characters with various promoted classes. No world map after the game got me closing the game instantly.. I am not sure if it is a technical difficulty to do so or something else, but I prefer the Sacred Stones over the Binding/Blazing Blade because of the after-game world map that allows me to spend more time with my lovely Prince/Princess team.
Too much bitching from me, sorry, and all in all, THIS IS THE BEST HACK I’ve met so far. I look forward to seeing if there is a future to see a V3.0 of the hack. Thank you darkjaden and everyone who contributed to the hack.

I been enjoying this hack a lot so far. But now I did something that I usually don’t do which is promoting Ewan. I had Lyra talk to him and now I have to pick between anima course (mage) or dark course (shaman)
Any suggestions?
I thought about asking it here since I don’t know which skills he’s going to get
He has a unique shaman promotion class.

It’s not technically unique, as Helios starts in the Dark Knight class, and Knoll can also promote into it, but it is a new class for the Shaman line, as opposed to the mage line, which I believe I just gave the option to promote into Druid

Oh, I’m definitely turning Ewan into that then. For some reason I got a lot of strength level ups, now I know why.

The title of the page still says ‘[FE8] Project Jade – A Sacred Stones Overhaul [2.4 UPDATE!] [COMPLETE]’ even though the latest version is now 2.5.1.
Can’t find any mention of this (but the search feature isn’t very good). The houses in Chapter 11 are impossible to visit on Maddening. The mercenaries that attack them are simply too close and your units too far to ever reach them in time. I doubt this is by design so I am bringing it up.
Hello, I’m just here to say that this is my favorite sacred stones overhaul of all time. i’ve played it through once and am now here to play it again. Thank you for an awesome hack!
