Hello, FEU! Do you love Gaiden? …Oh, that’s a shame. Well I sure do! And this is a remake in SRPG Studio, with some new love thrown in too! I call it Another Gaiden Remake, but usually AGR. (AFE2R would’ve been a little bit too “please C&D me.”)
Featuring:
-
A ~90% faithful recreation of Gaiden’s Chapter 1 (the equivalent of ‘Act 1’ in Shadows of Valentia, for all you zoomers!)
-
SRPG Studio’s lovely quality of life features, such as enemy range display, and controls that are noticeably better than the NES’s!
-
Branching promotions!
-
HP costs!
-
Learning spells by level!
-
The world map of chapter 1!
-
Alm walking around like he’s a normal JRPG protag!
-
Bonus EXP with a coat of Group EXP paint!
-
Chiptunes! (Mostly from my SoV special edition CD—maybe I’m a zoomer too??)
-
Some placeholder tiles!
-
Some not-placeholder tiles!
-
The cool stuff about Gaiden!
-
No boats!
-
No swamps!
-
No Nuibaba’s Mansion! Honestly, what’s not to like?
-
A smattering of original content - some small, some big!
More specifics can be found in the in-game Readme page (under Extras), as well as a bit of background and other niceties.
Screenies:
(By the by, I’ve made a number of aesthetic and QoL improvements since submitting that video )
Huge thanks to Goinza, Lady Rena, and tons of other talented scripters in both the English and Japanese SRPG Studio communities. I couldn’t have done this alone.
