We all love Batta the Beast, don’t we? Our favorite lovable early-game bandit boss that a certain green-haired swordfighter has no issue taking down.
But what if…
FIRE EMBLEM 7: BOSS SWAP Download version 1.2.1 here!
This hack is a reskin of FE7 that swaps all bosses and playable units, retaining their base stats with only minor changes to accomodate if necessary, such as Knights and Generals gaining +1 mov and more generous movement costs to compensate for how many are made playable. Many other gameplay and visual tweaks were made as to make the game a more distinct and refreshing way to try FE7 out.
Note: If anyone has the credits files from older releases pleeease let me know as I’ve lost older builds of Boss Swap. I can rewrite the credits anyways, but if anyone has them it’d be a huge time save and I’d appreciate it a ton.
There has been a reported glitch where in Blood of Pride, Yogi gets stuck inside the house; making the chapter unwinnable.
To fix this, make sure the village is being visited by anyone who can Rescue Yogi, and then rescue them. If you visit with someone who can’t, trade Yogi’s keys to them.
I honestly would love to see this idea done for FE6 and FE8 as well. I would say the other FEs as well, but those haven’t been hacked as much as the GBA trilogy.
Edit: So how do growths work? I’m guessing the growths are the characters they’re replacing? I.E. Batta has Lyn’s growths and so forth?
I haven’t posted down all the growth rates but everyone has a new set of growths; generally units with earlier join time or poor bases get better growths; but the growths usually match that unit’s stats.
The only exception is Lundgren who has a whopping 885% growth rate total to compensate for having worse bases than Wallace and requiring you to keep the lords underleveled just to recruit him.
