So for some context as to what this is, I started really getting into FE hacking doing some Nightmare jank in the late 2010s, and once I got my own computer and FEBuilder, I had more room to tinker. FE6 appealed to my hacking sensibilities, so I started a PME… and barely got suggestions.
So I came up with my own edits, and they were…. Interesting.
Unfortunately I lost the original file from back then, but after having booted FEBuilder up again, and having fortunately saved the original edits list, my teenage jank insanity is back on the menu!
Featuring such wonderful edits as:
- Unit redundancy that would make FE1 blush!
- Several cracked endgame Staves! (cough 60 use Berserk cough)
- An anime-boy Sage Jagen!
- The Batta Rangers!
- Merlinus, Douglas & Juno Good?
- A pointless bridge in Chapter 4!
- A bunch of random stat buffs on weapons, including a Devil Axe you could only see in Hell!
- The Maltet Gaiden which everyone skips probably being the hardest level! (And it’s worth it!)
Note: This is very much “balanced” around Normal Mode, I have no idea if Hard is completable. I also have not playtested either way, so this is completely blind. That said, you get some genuinely insane tools even in early game, so it’s probably possible.
