[FE8] [Completed] The Sacred Trilogy Reskin and Rebalance

Sacred Trilogy Title

What is it?

It is a reskin and rebalance of Sacred Stones using classes and music from all 3 GBA games, a lot of new custom classes with new animations, new spells, new weapons, a skill system and many quality of life improvements made by the hacking community. Vanilla campaign was not altered, aside from the addition of one new chapter. The difficulty has been slightly raised from vanilla. This hack features a complete separation from the Strenght and Magic stats, meaning some classes are able to use magic and physical weapons. There are many skill scrolls that can be obtained throughout the game. All of these changes are aimed at making Sacred Stones feel fresh and more challenging, while not drastically altering the story. This project was heavily inspired by Sir Serenes’ Reskin and Seal’s Sacred War hack. There are 2 versions to choose from:

Full or Lite - The full version contains the community-made skill system. The lite version only contains vanilla skills. The lite version was made for people who complained about skill bloating of the full version.

Thunder spells have high crit and are locked to melee range. There is also an anima magic triangle. Fire spells are strong against wind. Wind is strong against thunder. Thunder is strong against fire. The traditional magic triangle (anima>light>dark>anima) is still present.

Hey, loving the hack so far, but I do have a question. Why does the thunder tome only have a range of one? Also Kyle seems to OP.

Glad to hear it. Thunder tome only has 1 range because of the revamped magic system. Wind spells have low mt and 2-3 range, fire spells have average stats and 1-2 range and thunder spells have high crit but are locked to melee range. Also, Kyle is OP because he is already a promoted unit, and all promoted units have buffed bases (including enemies).

[Insert meme about filters here]

You know, jokes aside, rebalances have become rather interesting nowadays. With the abundance of community resources and ease of access with modern tools, there’s always a few folks who want to spruce up the base games rather than create something new and original. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I’m just saying the idea of doing so has evolved over time (or rather, again, become more accessible). From simple edits to stats, growths, etc. in nightmare, to stuff like this. I could be wrong about that “evolved” part, but it’s just an observation I made after seeing Sacred War, and now this.

You’re right about many things. I only started rom hacking because 7743 made it so easy with FEBuilder. Also, there is so much cool custom free to use stuff made by the community that I couldn’t help myself and used them. I do intend to make an original hack though. This was my first project, so I could get to know the tools and their limitations.

But I did not undertand what you meant by filters.

7 Likes

I really admire that mindset. Starting out with something somewhat simple to get yourself ready for any future endeavors. Others usually try to dive headfirst into it, but taking it slow at times is also important.

(Oh, and filters are how the sprites are smoothed out in the screenshots. Just a little in-joke since not everyone likes them.)

My game is bugged. Chapter 19: Last Hope, during the cutscene where the castle is invaded, it stops. The guard is standing there and the dark shaman (might be riev) is standing next to him. The game continues and the sprites execute their idle motion but no dialogue or action can be taken. If i try to bypass the cutscene, the screen goes black. This is repeatable no matter how many times I enter chapter 19. Any insight would be great… so close to finishing the story. Would hate to have to restart.

Additional Information:

  • A lot of the character mugs get distorted along with the portrait sprites. (Only during particular cutscenes)
  • I have tried different copies of the rom and patched them with NUPS.

If you decide to look into this, let me know if you would like a copy of the save file or any additional information/screenshots

Alright, please send me your save file so I can experience from my end. I’m currently on Eirika’s chapter 17 and I only experienced an issue with the ending cutscenes of chapter 16.

@TMilly
Actually, I think I already found the problem. That druid had a different character ID than the one used for the scripted fight. I uploaded a new version with the fix, so please try it and tell me what happens.

does completing lagdu ruins give glen fado n lyon still and if yes which floors should i complete in order to get em?

Yes, you can unlock them the same way you would in vanilla SS. I don’t remember right now what are the requirements for them all, but I do remember Lyons requires completing the Lagdou Ruins 3 times.

Hi, I’m currently on the world map, and whenever I load into Chapter 19, and after some dialogue, there’s a black screen and I can’t progress any further.

Also, before the black screen, when the guard gets attacked, its a screen of green glitchiness.

Hi there. Yeah, that problem is caused by the enemy druid having a different character ID from the one use in the scripted fight. This issue was fixed 8 days ago, so you just need to download the latest version to fix it.

Thanks, Do I just patch it over my current save?

@Electro
You can use the save file from the previous version for the newer version. It just needs to have the same name of the game and to be in the same folder. For example:

Assume you have named the game as “Sacred Trilogy 2-6.gba” in your pc. In the same folder, there will be the save file named “Sacred Trilogy 2-6.sav”. Now, download the newer ups file and apply to a clean FE8 rom. Then name it “Sacred Trilogy Final.gba”. Now go back to the ver 2-6 save file and rename it to “Sacred Trilogy Final.sav” and place it in the same folder as “Sacred Trilogy Final.gba”. Open your emulator, run the game and choose the option to restart chapter in the game menu. You are now playing the newest version with a save file from an older version.

It just occurred to me that I wasn’t really updating this page, since the original thread of the project was posted on Serenes. If anyone is still interested in this, let it be know that the hack has come a long way since I last posted anything here. Nearly everything was updated/modified, from graphics to quality of life changes. Check the description for a quick breakdown or the changelog for more detailed info.

@blood Hi there,

regarding this, have you looked into giving thieves/rogues Steal in skill system? Because according to RobertFPY on the Skill System thread, Cunning is display only. Thank you for the great hack!

heyo, im new to these patches and hacks but i want to know what does “minimug” mean? also, i kinda want my Ross to be a Fighter as well rather than a Pirate, since it’s awkward to see him more muscular than his father Garcia despite being a child only, and I’m kinda fine enough with Dozla being my only Berserker. XD oh well, it’s fine tho, no need for further changes. overall im satisfied with the patch, but anyway what are “minimugs”? i kept searching but i dont know what it is, and i tried both with and without minimugs but i dont get the difference
