NOTE! This version is old. Find the new one here!
This release (version 0.2) contains all chapters up to and including “The Peddler Merlinus.” Some notable added features include:
-All characters now use voice clips in combat and in dialogue. These voices were sourced primarily from Fire Emblem: Heroes. Other sources were used for a minority of characters who have not been officially voiced. Voices can be disabled in the options menu for those who prefer to play without them. I cannot overstate the amount of work it took to implement this feature…
-Marcus and Lowen have new custom battle animations.
-The turnwheel can be enabled when starting a new game, but this is only available on the normal difficulty mode.
Features coming in the next update:
-More chapters
-Functional weathers (rain and fog)
-Supports
I am always interested in feedback, so feel free to chime in if you have suggestions. The original spiel describing FE7Lex is below:
FE7Lex is a conversion of Fire Emblem 7 into the Lex Talionis (LT) engine. For those who don’t know, LT is a Python-based fangame engine designed to replicate GBA FE gameplay with additional features. Note that knowledge of Python is not required to use LT. A link to LT is at the bottom of this post.
Some built-in features:
Native Skill Support
Threat Ranges
HP Meters
Fixed Growths Mode
Casual Mode
Text-editable Classes, Items, and Units
I have tried to mirror the experience of the original game as closely as possible. Thus, this base conversion will not incorporate skills, branching promotions, etc. I will leave those aspects for community modders to tweak to their liking. I am interested in all hearing suggestions or feedback from players!
I intend for FE7Lex to serve as a base for like-minded ROM hackers who enjoy FE7 but have been stymied at times by the shortage of resources and features for modding this ROM compared to FE8. I intend to continue adding chapters until the entire game is converted. Please be patient, however, as this is far from a trivial endeavor: everything must be imported and re-scripted by hand. I am basically playing through the FE7 ROM and re-creating it all using the LT engine. Larger chapters can take a couple evenings to complete in this manner. Once this conversion is complete in the future, I will announce further plans.
