Maybe swap the map tiles for something like, the Advance Wars map tiles to help make the smaller outdoor maps feel less cramped despite their size reduction.

As a pun connoisseur, this is incredible. You could also rename locations to be smaller (i.e. Minvel instead of Magvel), or even weapons and items. Swords=Daggers, Axes=Mallets, Staves=Sticks, Tomes=Pamphlets. Lances are a bit tricky, since their main defining feature is being long. Maybe they could be Sticks, and Staves could be something else? Idk, just some food for thought. This whole project is amazing though.

Rods from Birthright are a thing.

This was one of my favorite rom hacks and fire emblems. Fire Emblems are great tactical games, but in most games (romhack or no) the maps get way too big and difficult towards the end, removing some of the small scale tactical puzzle element — and requiring tiring double checking of possible attacks and so on. This hack felt much more puzzly and relaxed most of the way through, although towards the end the enemy density did get a bit too high for my taste. All in all, great!
