1.11 released
Joshua has hat in both unpromoted and promoted (swordmaster only.) This pleases me greatly
So I didn’t want to come back here until I finished the hack because I want to avoid reading spoilers, but I think there’s a bug in my game. Apparently I unlocked Ch 21x, because a text popped up saying “Gaiden unlocked!” or something like that. But it takes me to the world map and puts me in control of Eirika… even though the playable characters are the Frelian army (Mia, Ramón, Aristobulus…). I suspect 21x should’ve loaded but didn’t. I’m playing v1.2, I believe.
Pretty sure that issue was fixed on an earlier update. I think the current version is 1.11
EDIT: I’m certain that was a reported bug that the author has fixed in the current versions. My recommendation is definitely to download the current version. I haven’t had any issues moving between versions with my save file.
Yo! Love this hack so far. I’m only at Chapter 5x but the writing really fills in some holes in the plot, and maintains immersion. Im not skipping cut scenes for the first time in ages 
I love the new gear and tweaks to units too. Also like what you did with bows generally. Archers don’t suck now.
Thanks for making this. I’m looking forward to discovering all the new stuff.
A funny thought struck me during the ending scene of ch 16:
If I had a dollar every time Fado merced a jobber boss I’d have two dollars. Which isn’t a lot, it’s just funny that it happened twice.
Yeah this has been fixed in recent versions. I really hope you kept a save at 21x. If you saved on the world map it’s going to cause issues.
If you did, though, don’t despair. PM me your save file and I’ll do something about it. It’ll take me a few hours though.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Let me know how it goes as you progress. I can only hope you continue to enjoy it!
Since 5x was skippable, I didn’t want Fado to potentially come out of nowhere for people. So I just did it again in case someone missed it the first time lol
And hey whaddya mean jobber boss, he totally should’ve been the Obsidian
Actually, I just realized, in retrospect, he should’ve been Jude. The old beta character from whom I drew the name, Jude Ruvert, used to have that title before Duessel existed. Would’ve been a neat meta joke.
Ch 18 was good. I think Selena was the first boss I noticed get really major buffs. Like, holy cow she was kind of a pushover in vanilla (one-rounded/one-hit killed by Ephraim w/ Reginleif.) Not here, she really was a threat.
Also really liked the extended dialogue she had. Added a bit more to her character and strengthened what was one of the weaker plot points of the vanilla game for me.
Chapter 8 
I like the portrait change that occurs on a certain person at the start of the chapter. Nice touch. I actually don’t mind what happened in the cut scene at all. It’s fitting.
Some more thoughts gameplay wise: I like the buff to slim weapons! They were useless in vanilla. Also like access to different, affordable weapon options (light brand, short bow). Little stuff like that is what I love in FE8 hacks.
I do feel a little light in the wallet in this game so far. But I also bought a restore staff so maybe that’s on me.
I felt Selena deserved to be strong.
As for the extra bits of writing, Selena being in love with the emperor (whether it be romantic or filial) and committing suicide by Ephraim because she cannot bear to live in a world without Vigarde is an interpretation that elevated her character greatly for me. Without it she’s just kind of your average dumb Camus. I figured I’d make it more clear in my hack.
Hah! That’s pretty nice of you to say. People usually curse my name in chapter 8.
Thanks for the praise! I didn’t remove much money from the game, as far as I recall. In that aspect it shouldn’t be too different from vanilla.
Yeah, I really appreciate what you did for her in this hack.
I completely agree with your ‘dumb Camus’ statement. It’s clear that’s what the devs were going for in vanilla, but the implementation… just didn’t work too well, in my opinion. Honestly out of all the Camus types in the vanilla series I think Selena and Brunya were the worst. Lloyd and Linus (especially Lloyd) were the best in my opinion.
Oh, and I’ve cleared chapters 19 and 20 by now. That was a neat change in 19, looking forward to see how it shakes things up down the line.
As for 20…
Holy crap, that was the hardest chapter of the game so far. And that surprise character… I knew he was coming (having been foreshadowed several times), but man… hard chapter, but an epic chapter for sure.
And I really love the unique animations the new character and Vigarde had. Their final confrontation was movie worthy- Vigarde’s battle quote with him was a great idea, too. The secret character immediately killed him with a critical hit as soon as the quote finished.
I have not played for a while due to some matters and thus I am still on chapter 7, but I’m going back to chapter 5, I did NOT expect for Saar to move, I got a game-over there since Erika was gangbanged by three soldiers and Saar, please tell me Pablo in Revolt on Carcino does not move, he hits like a truck on difficult in Vanilla and I normally chip him with Neimi on the ballista before finishing him off…
Yeah that was basically my amelia but also capped in defense
I was wondering if all the bug fixes were out of the way and if there will be an update soon because I’d rather wait for alot of the updates to be finished before I start playing
Is there a way to look up in FEbuilder the dialogue for certain talk events. I’m on Scorched Sands, and I can see that I’m going to miss a lot of talk events because most of them are for characters I haven’t been using.
Oh, and while I’m here… are the hidden items in the desert in the same locations, or have any been moved?
At long last, the pay-off to all the build-up throughout the game. Glad to see you enjoyed what it all led up to!
As for the other thing… Perhaps by now you’ve seen.
…Well. That’s utterly insane.
Not that it upsets me too much, mind. Amelia best.
At this point I’d say we’re in a good place. It’s been a while since I got any significant bug reports. I can of course never guarantee that the game will be 100% bug free, but it should be free of gamebreaking bugs now, at least.
Simply check out the talk events for the chapter. If you click on a chapter on the first menu that pops up, you should see a simplified list of all the events for a chapter. Look for mini-mugs, those are the talk events. Double-click on them, then click on the underscored “event” button, then look for a “dialog conversation text” command. Seek tutorials online if you still cannot follow, it’s very simple, but I’m bad at explaining haha.
Keep in mind though, Ephraim’s versions of the lategame chapters are still in the ROM, mostly unmodified. You need to look for the ones on top, those are the ones the hack uses.
I changed a few of the items themselves, but the locations are all the same and you don’t even need a thief to get them any longer. I even added a few extra bones to the map to mark the remaining unmarked treasure locations.
So i have second fado (only one secret book)
And if its posible too give scared strength too all scared Twins wepons?name is pointing that should be too all wepons but only Erika and eprahim ones get it
You might want to mark some of your comments under ‘spoilers.’
But I know what you mean, it’s a really good hack.
That is one helluva Gilliam! Fado 2 is right, hot dang.
Uh… please forgive me, though, I’m afraid I don’t understand your other comment. What do you mean? I’m pretty sure every sacred twin weapon is effective against monsters, not just the twins’ weapons…
Oh dear, spoilers, spoilers! Like ReedRacer said, please mark some of these as spoilers. Simply edit your post, select the text, click on the cog icon and hit the “hide details” button.
Anyway, as to the post itself…
Really happy you’re enjoying yourself so much, and that Seth’s death hit you so hard!
As for Eirika… well, she’s lost a dear friend. She’s not going to recover from that in a day. But don’t lose hope for her. There’s a lot of game left!
