And part 1 ends at the first save point after selling a bunch of stuff for a shuriken. Just an ordinary day playing through Final Fantasy 3’s final dungeon squashed into a GBAFE map.

Oh, yeah, I forgot I did this.
Uh…
I’d prefer if I can update the download link before it’s played, cause I did fix a bug where you couldn’t get to the second chapter.
Apologies, but it may have to be held off until tomorrow, as I need to actually fix the download link.

RESCHEDULED
(edit: principled -1.5 to stability since the ownage would’ve been there before the deadline)
Extremely sorry for my lack of announcement, but the first chance I’m home from vacation will be Tuesday, and the UPS I need to put into the Dropbox is sadly on my home computer right now.
I’ll announce when I change it, however. Sorry for the delay.
Yeah, I think I’m going to rescind my submission
Sadly, I’m pretty sure, looking back on what I did for the project, it’s highly unfinished, with a lot of talk conversations I cut for the time frame, and so there’s not a lot of good dialogue throughout it, and I would much rather it be rescinded, because this project I did was a while ago, and I just tuned it up in the December I found this contest instead of making a new submission, so I’m not entirely fond of the writing my past self did it in it.
But anyways, this does mark the end of the contest, so I hope everyone had as great as a time as I did, and I hope to actually have my game played in future contests like these, I just need to find these kinds of contests sooner so that I can actually have a project ready for them.

Today is the anniversary of the Super Hit Post Contest. Hurray! To commemerate this and its conclusion, I, Darrman the 9th place finisher, have drawn a terrible picture.
Some of these entries were truly infuriating. I’ve commerated some of them in the picture. I apologise in advance for my terrible art and likely character assassination.
I had a post drafted but I fell asleep or something and never drew the original MS Paint doodle (featuring every mildly deranged pairing), so I’m going to write up my experience here and now.
I saw the thread go up but I was working on my FEE3 submission. I think CELICA had just wrapped up. And so I worked away on War of Lovers, when a silly idea got stuck in my head. What if I had all the old RPG characters in an FE4-style chapter And so, after playing through Phantasy Star 1 and Dragon Warrior 4 for research purposes, away I went.
I wrote a big long cutscene, and then realised I promised a War of Lovers release for FEE3. I did that, realised it was a broken mess, and spent another month fixing all of the bugs. Back to SHPC. I wrote more meandering dialogue, renamed half the magic to be annoying, and generally planned things out. I had a few holes in the roster, which slowly got filled as I asked around for FE1 characters.
Then it was the 28th of December or so and I hadn’t a unit placed on the map - I had plenty of portraits requanted though. I still hadn’t actually played through Madou Monogatari to get Arle right (Ultima 1, at least, I did get through) and I still needed to play a Touhou game to make a reasonable-ish nod. And so, I threw darts at the board that is Eureka and Sylx from Final Fantasy 3. Bosses were placed, events were quickly written, and with about two hours left before midnight passed on the last time zone on Earth, I submitted. It was 10am, and I immediately fell asleep.
I made a forum post the next day, and suddenly people started offering to sacrifice their points to give me an extension to the deadline. I took their energy, spent about 24 hours fixing some of the worst bugs and making things a bit more presentable, and thus became The Evolution of the Role-Playing Game, Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War-Style Proof of Concept. Or Chaotic Evolution, or Evolution of the RPG. It still had a few showstoppers, but it had less. I think I did decently for what it was. If there’s a sequel to this contest, I’d like to finish what I started and actually create the Gen 2 of this FE4-like.
I did enough research to put in the very earliest Reimu artwork for the Touhou points, at least. Touhou 1’s been at least seen before Final Fantasy 7 and its copyright is dated 1996 in game, so good enough for me. Grabbing a 5/5 Touhou would almost certainly stick out even worse. And maybe I won’t get a -2 speed score in a hypothetical next contest? …Nah, I always leave these things until the last minute.
