Melanie was nerfed to make her primary weakness (extreme vulnerability to magic) more pronounced. It’s a small nerf overall that does basically nothing to the physical matchups she wants to be facing, I just wanted to make sure that her weakness stayed as a weakness since her combination of high Speed+high Def can make her dangerously hard to kill once trained, even with her bad HP.
As for Lysithea, her class has technically been renamed to “Dark Scholar”, but for the most part it’s the same as Gremory, AKA female Sorcerer, and it has the same mastery skill (Malefic Aura). But for a few reasons I decided that I wanted to change her weapon types, specifically:
- Her having staff access plus her high magic stat was giving her too much base utility competing with the earlygame mages. Taking away her staff use restores the value of promoting Caitlyn, Bishop Sophia, Gremory Willow, and/or Seraph Anna for an extra staff user.
- Swapping Anima for Light was mainly a case of “well, in 3H itself she uses dark and light, not dark and anima”, but also:
– giving her light magic helps against the enemy dark mages in chapters 9x/10, since while she’s now even more vulnerable to physical attacks than she used to be, she can take on enemy mages
– it gives her a chance to build to Seraphim rank for chapter 10’s monsters (she starts at D and has 8x, 9, and 9x to get there if you want it)
– it lets her access the cavalry-effective tome (funny dark spikes reference)
– it means she no longer offers competition for access to anima tomes like Sagittae and Aircalibur (even if her base rank was too low to get them for a while), since access to those tomes is a big deal for setting Caitlyn and other anima users apart from the plethora of dark mages.

Bugfix: Forgot to change the events around Tinker’s recruitment in chapter 5 to reference her new unit ID, they’ve been fixed to work properly now
Fixed a few more bugs related to Tinker’s unit ID change, fixed Jahid’s battle palettes, and added the patch allowing stealing with a full inventory.

Small update: I’ve made alternate versions of the lords’ portraits for when they’re facing right in dialogue, to properly reflect asymmetries like their house leader capes or Ashley’s hair. I don’t necessarily plan to do this for every character with small asymmetries in their design, but since they’re the main characters and these are fairly noticeable details, they get special treatment.

Jahid now has proper portraits, both pre- and post-timeskip!

I have now completed pre- and post-timeskip portraits for Kai, in the process defeating the hackbox in single combat and reaching literal new heights of portrait-making! Enjoy his ridiculously tall hair in all its glory!

Portraits are now done for Bennett and Etherin! Drawing hands is pain…
The Iron King Kostas now has a unique animation, to properly convey his mighty axe’s size! (No crit anim for now because there’s no unit that he has crit against.)
UPDATE: He now has a crit anim because I could (and because he does actually have crit on Buddy).

Hey, been a while! I took a break to work on a one-chapter side project that I’ll be releasing soon, but I have also been working on getting things ready for this project’s trailer in FEE3. In the process, I’ve updated the tileset palette used in chapter 9x and a few cutscenes to look more Agarthan, and I’ve now given a proper portrait to the mysterious masked villain:

Please read the title and OP.
The title literally has WIP and the post said that it is FE8 based.

Hi! As theghostcreator pointed out, the title and original post both say the hack is not yet finished, but there’s still plenty here to play! You can find the download link in the original post, and yes it is a patch for FE8 (USA version).

Not evrybody knows what WIP mean and he read complete so far so thats why he asked, i understand cuz sometimes its not really clear if the hack is finished or not.
The OP talks about plans for the future and such as well so it’s not a matter of not knowing what WIP means.
Not that it matters anyway, the question has been answered.
yes i know but most ppl are lazy and only read the title instead of reading the walls of text so they know the game is not finished yet.
