What is this?
This is an in-progress hack featuring a new story and a new cast. Currently, we’re at 9 chapters completed at a planned total of 17 with the current chapter 10 in the hack but incomplete.
Features:
- Original story - Follow a short story about a group of mercenaries who are stuck in the wrong place at the wrong time as the entire country of Helos collapses under a curse.
- Original cast - A cast of 20 original characters with 16 currently of them playable. And uh, a guest star or two. Get back to me on the second one.
- FEU’s FE8 skillsys. Skills are mostly restrained sticking to either class skills or a personal skill or two for certain units with some units not having skills at all.
- Capture - You can capture enemies and steal their weapons. I’ve added plenty of new items to make this appealing but make sure you’re on top of things because you’re not getting many chances to buy weapons here. Capturing has been made easier with capture stat penalties being reduced.
- Early endings - The thrust of this hack is that at multiple points in the game, you’ll have a chance to fight a boss. If you can defeat the boss, you’ll get an ending. But if you can’t defeat the boss, you can flee until you meet them again at which point, you can have another attempt. But every time you do, the world gets a little bleaker.
- Base conversations - There’s no need to get supports to learn what characters have been up to you, you’ll have the chance to peek in any many different characters actions including ones with rewards and completely optional talks, all labelled.
The current patch is available here with 9 chapters complete and a 10th chapter in progress and partially done. I’ve done my playtesting on hard personally, I like to leave normal free for people like an old friend of mine who liked FE but was bad at it.
