Fire Emblem: Crossroads

Hello! I’ve been wanting to post the concepts of a Fan Game that I’m dedicated to making. There’s still stuff that I need to adjust and reanalyze, so most of what’s here is subject to change!

Stupidly short summary of the story(still need to put down stuff for that besides characters):
The story follows the saga of two different individuals. One being a young princess named Farah, and the other being an orphaned mercenary named Haizea.

General gameplay features:
-Two difficulties: Normal and Hard
-Selecting between Haizea and Farah to be the main Lord. The story is basically the same with a few exceptions that change depending on the Lord you select
-Str/Mag split
-Slight overhaul to general FE weapon design
-The addition of knives
-Weapon Triangle changes to be more accuracy focus and doesn’t increase might
-Magic is all one weapon type a la Archenea Saga
-FE17 style weapon ranks where they’re all set and don’t need to be leveled up
-Terrain changes
-Equip items called charms that play a large role in gameplay; equipped charms can’t be traded during a chapter and can be used once per chapter, but their effects last unit the chapter is over. Each unit can equip one charm each
-An Overworld similar to FE13 with additions
-Bases in the overworld where both armies can interact. The interactions would include trading weapons/items and viewing special events if certain units are present/certain criteria is met. Each army will also have it’s own war fund to manage

General goal for my game:
My general goal for this game is to feel like Awakening/Sacred Stones in terms of out of chapter progression. For gameplay, I want it to be decently challenging while at the same time be very rewarding to play. I do want this game to be fairly long, but not excessive so replays won’t feel tedious

Feel free to ask questions/give ideas/give suggestions!

I’ve always liked FEGBA magic triangle more than tellius or non-triangle tomes, having different forms of magic is interesting to me, but that’s personal preference.

Is this Lex Tailonis or a romhack?

For the ideas I have, I think LT works best, but I’m still in the planning phase so that can changed!

Add a player avatar.

Considering what I have planned, I’d rather not, haha. I don’t have a problem with them, but integrating one would be too much custom work

Will the other lord be playable or are they MIA from the story if not picked

The other lord is still playable. Basically you control both lords like Echoes. The difference with the lord that gets selected is that the story starts with said lord, then the other lord comes after a few chapters, after that you can control both with the selected lord being the focal point of the story

Hello im a fellow developer that also loves fire emblem. What game engine are you using? I would like to help

Mainly want to go the LT route for engine. I’m down for any engine tho!

After doing some thinking, and having a mighty need to get a project out there, I’ve decided to hold off on making a route split and just focus on one lord and story!

Yood plan.
