Hey, everyone.
I’m very excited to announce my own entry into the ever-burgeoning romhacking community:
Fire Emblem: Last Respects.
Watch the really cool and good FEE3 2023 trailer here!
Download a demo of the first chapter here.
Using the Patch:
- Download the .ups file from the above Dropbox link.
- Use a UPS patching tool (like NUPS) to apply it to a clean USA version of FE8.
Plot
“Please those who praise you at your strongest, and be adequate.
Honor those who protect you at your weakest, and be invincible.”
Enwin, a richly-storied and proud nation in the dead center of the vast continent of Fervaine, is in dire straits.
Its ruler, King Aran, was violently unseated in a recent coup d’etat by his own Seven Dukes, and with all the realm’s knights yet to return from their march on the capital, many of the common folk are suddenly forced to fend for themselves against marauders and opportunists alike.
Join the young, prodigious hunter Lleu, along with a bevy of close friends and hasty alliances, as they are suddenly forced to fight for their lives while an entire nation crumbles around their ears.
Important Gameplay Features
- Thracia trade.
- Each character has a little something to give them unique flavour; this can be anything from a personal weapon, to personal skills, to a particular feature of their class, among other things.
- All foot units gain Shove and Swap. (They can even do them without ending their turn! As soon as I can figure out how to do that.)
- Cavs and armors start as mono-weapons and promote into multi-weapons.
- Light magic gains long-range in exchange for no short-range, and Dark magic gains miscellaneous offensive effects (like Savage Blow) to facilitate combat. (Yes, Anima and Dark are swapped in the trailer. I changed my mind.)
- Special Lord unit affinities with hefty bonuses.
Credits
Everything custom that isn’t listed below (besides the scads of FEBuilder patches, which I’ll eventually get to listing in their entirety I promise) was done by myself. There’s some uncredited stuff already in the ROM to be used in chapters that haven’t been completed yet (or that aren’t screenshotted below, lmao), but I can just post my ongoing .txt list of credits later if that’s an issue.
BUILDER STUFF
7743 made FEBuilder itself.
CirclesEverywhere made the Skillsys patch; presumably, its constituent bells and whistles have been credited on its own page.
Zane made the Modular Minimug Box, and Scraiza made the Vision Quest-style configuration used here.
Tequila made the Text Engine Rework.
AFFINITIES
The Earth/Heaven/Water/Moon/Blade affinities and their bonuses are identical to those in Vision Quest, made by Pandan.
Venno made the Heaven/Earth/Blade icons.
Scraiza made the Water/Moon icons.
