Fire Emblem: The Lonely Mirror (Concept for FE8 ROM Hack)

I understand what you are saying… However, what you are asking for is unfortunately beyond my current capabilities of ROM hacking.

I know similar movement enhancements have been done before, and I know it is possible. If you or anyone else you know knows how to do this, I’ll spend the time to implement this, but I will need some guidance here.

Yeah! The phoenix knight class is really fun! I take it that you have finished all the available levels available if you are talking about the phoenix knight. I’m at the home stretch when it comes to new level creation.

Hope you enjoyed the content there, @lostwoods95. I am always curious of different play through experiences to help continue to improve the hack.

I wanted to provide an update on where things are with the project.

I am currently working on the final chapter and epilogue of The Lonely Mirror, but it will take a bit of time. Reason being, I want to have a more dynamic ending and will be creating 25 different ending scenes, which will depend on support pairings. Lots of work! Speaking of supports, many more will be coming in the next release! I am still open to pairing requests.

Lastly, I wanted to build a favorite character poll for fun. I am curious if there are specific characters people like. **Who are your favorite characters?" There are more options than FE Universe can handle so…

I might end up doing something additional for a favored character too.

There are lots of characters I like but voted for my A team of Myles, Joseph, Silvan, Wise, and Winifred. I’d like to see supports with Silvan. Very curious about his backstory. Keep up the good work.

Nothing can beat Atticus. He’s got purple hair and also is intangible, making it impossible to hit him. He also steals things, and that’s badass.

Why is Bartleby not on this list? I feel so betrayed.

(but only somewhat, bartleby deserved better)

I couldn’t include Bartleby, @RandomWizard. He’s just too good! Plus, I wanted to keep this only to player units.

I am still finding this interesting. I know the sample size is pretty small (2 to 4 votes on the more popular end), but it is cool to see how different characters may resonate with different people.

I am a little surprised by Silvan and Eamon, but I think that’s really cool, and good information to have when prioritizing support dialog.

Hey @keito! Your message really made my day. Thank you for taking the time to make an account to post about the Lonely Mirror. :slight_smile: Also, welcome!

I am happy you resonated with some of the characters. The writing has definitely been the most time consuming part.

We are certainly in a difficult time globally right now but having a creative project gives me focus. Speaking of which, the game is done. I finished the last chapter and epilogue last night. All I have left is the testing. It feels strange, but I am excited to experience the full game and make bug fixes when needed. I am hopeful the hack has stayed robust.

Stay tuned though. The full version will be available soon.

Thanks for the warm welcome @caladrius,
I’m glad you finished the game, I’ll wait patiently at the same time impatient for the game xD. PD: If you could give couples Endings like in normal games, It would be amazing , I want to know what happened to Leah and Caden.

I have been diving deep into paired ending for the full release. I am happy that you are looking at some of the supports too! Leah and Caden will indeed have an ending together, and the ending will actually change depending on certain supports obtained.

One thing I will bring up is that the next release will unfortunately not be compatible with previous save files. This is due to additional characters, classes, and some item remapping that had to happen.

Another round of playing this should be fun. Looking forward to a complete story.

Sounds good to me, now I can train my units better and finish the story more Easy

Yes. The subsequent play throughs are certainly easier. You can also check out a different branch map the next time to get a new experience - Chapter 14 and Chapter 17 have different maps.

Hi there. I’m on chapter 15, and I tend to do all that’s possible in my fire emblem games to promote every single unit while leveling them up at the same time. I’m under the impression that I won’t be able to promote every unit in the game due to the amount of money or promotional items received during the games.
Is there a level with an arena so I can farm money in order to buy all the master seals required to promote everyone? I get that some people don’t like this idea, but I only use this method to get those items (I write down the original amount of money I have so I don’t “cheat” by buying the best weapons).
Thanks for your answer and for the game.

I do not have any arenas in the game currently. I avoided adding an arena because I find that they break the balance of the game. If I were to add an arena it would probably be to Ch 24 only as it is far enough in the game to not break the flow. That being said, there are some complications to adding an arena into the game based on how I set things up - class IDs and magic split. I can possibly include it later, but it would be a post full game release.

For now I can reduce the cost of Master Seals to 5000 (2500) with Silver Card. Ch24 would again be ideal to get these at the Secret Shop as a White Gem and Silver Card were received in the previous map. The map will also have some nice items to loot off enemies to provide extra gold.

Edit: Also, welcome @TheAnyel and happy end of the year festivities!
