The best fire emblem hack stands in your way

the best fire emblem hack stands in your way

nobody knows what that is bro

It's a fire emblem romhack

that’s not the last promise

not the morrow’s golden kino

LAME

a fallacy compared to the true KING

Engage has the best gameplay in the series not Conquest btw

yeah because engage lets me fuck people

Not so fast

Marriage with Marianne!

using fixed growths patch

Dieck gets spd and luk on his first level despite having a 30%/35% growth in them respectively

what?

I played this and thought it was just okay

big dieck

marriage with holandaise!

She's literally me

Tranny hack

what's the most schizo hack out there

KINO BLAAAAAST

eternal winter

Bring back the maid banner.
No, don't put Engage on it.

Start thread with rom hack

Thread instantly turns to shit

Every time.

It's this or an entire thread arguing over fates/3h/engage yet again and we just had one of those.

This is another issue with fixed growths: when the levels are given is always arbitrary

Al is pal

Rom hack posts feel like stealth advertising

i love how the caption was crystal clear and some retard came in saying "whats that bro"

he just got an empty level after that, I think this shit is just bugged

Fates thread had some genuinely good game discussion though.

he FUCKED my wife

you will always get certain levels based on certain growths. it doesn't take your base level into consideration. you'll get more empty level ups and more full level ups than usual

Beyond the schizo ()
samefagging shitting on the game for the most autistic shit imaginable?

I am his wife and not yours anymore

play it, now

Every FE thread is going to have schizos, you just learn to tune them out. Doesn't change the fact that this and the last rom hack threads had no real redeeming posts.

look it up

garbage character designs

Every time

Post black girls

we should get grummz/asmongold to look at the romhack in the OP

where did all the good character designers go?

somehow mangs gets blamed for this

As I’ve been writing the story for my first hack, I’ve continuously found myself thinking the story would make more sense if it had incestuous themes. It follows a royal family(ala generic fire emblem), and the siblings all turn on eachother in a war of succession. However some of the characters are less enthusiastic about this war and killing their siblings than others, particularly ones who were close beforehand. Mayhaps extremely close. As in neglectful parents and my brother/sister is my only friend type of close.

Thing is, in real life, this type of situation can often lead to sexual rather than typical sibling relationships as a result of the environment. It would also really drive home how some of the characters are forced to fight against people they really care about while adding a bit of controversial flare to the story. I also fear if I don’t do it, people will think it’s implied anyway with the relationships the characters have.

It’s still incest though, and that’s obviously a big deal. Do you guys think it’s worth the risk adding it in this specific situation? My big fear is that this my first hack and also my first story ever, and as somebody who wants to write more for stuff, I don’t really want to be hated right of the bat. Any responses are appreciated.

Just don't put your name on your fetish fiction. Post it anonymously.

Don't play this hack. It does the gay Radiant Dawn thing.

yeah add it

the lord grooms someone?
you have to beat the game a quintillion times to get lore?

Yes to both.

Oh you’re that guy who accuses every ritualposter of being the schizo.

Blair groomed someone? Who?

One of the earliest romhacks I tried was mostly base FE7 but the author self inserted himself (replaces hector) just so he can waifu his favorite FE girl, Linoan (replaces Lyn).
So naturally you can pair Linoan with another character and cuck the dev, which everyone made fun of him for.

I've played a lot of romhacks and this one was extremely "mid" as the kids would say. I don't see how it could be anywhere remotely close to the "best" one but feel free to share what stood out to you.

I wouldn't let it influence my appraisal, gameplay is gameplay, but felt it was worth mentioning; why do so many "women" in this hack just straight up look like men? Not masculine women, just men. It's really bizarre, do they think they're making some kind of point?

many "women" in this hack just straight up look like men

That's called body diversity, sweetie! Not every lady in war looks like an attractive teen! Get with the program, honeybuns!

NB hack, more accurately. I noticed the pronouns thing and at certain points I checked my party and consistently over half the party used they pronouns, it was very odd.

MK404 Emblem mentioned

NO NOT AGAIN

I bet it's not even an agenda and they're just shit at making portraits. There's a portrait maker that just lets you swap around features from all the GBA casts and romhackers who aren't artists sometimes use those without cleaning them up or editing them to look decent and you get abominations like that. I'm honestly getting sick of the GBA art style after seeing so many romhacks.

Isn’t that where “damn I love New York” came from?

Yes.

Yeah, one of the biggest problems with the hack I'm experiencing so far is it really encourages you to turn it into bait and kill gameplay with a tanky unit you can just heal in between luring hoards since the single healer design really discourages multitasking.

And that's a good thing, shitlord.

Nah, even using a portrait maker they'd have to go out of their way to make it look this way. It's definitely on purpose.

Tranny Emblem lmao

frailest FE6 cav

Yeah, "you don't get much healing!" isn't that interesting of a gimmick for a romhack. I thought the villain lady was a bit entertaining, almost made me want to keep playing.

That's not Cerulean Crescent

i don't like how the hag just randomly chooses when to bring out the good staves and just blue balls you with fucking mend

Got it.
Will do, thanks!

inclusive granny

What's a romhack you would recommend? I've never played any.

women "hags" are just men

Disgusting

Anon here noted one of best ones . Cerulean Crescent has very cool map and unit design, solid writing that manages to both be funny in places and still be taken seriously (a very challenging feat), and a few fantastic mindfuck moments that I want to gush about but don't want to ruin for others. Andaron Saga is also excellent, but its plot is obviously Game of Thrones. Morrow's Golden Country mentioned earlier in the thread played pretty well but I remember not giving a damn about the plot.

not spoiling who
youll be surprised

cerulean crescent writing

funny

I wasn't falling out of my chair laughing but it had some pretty silly moments. They weren't the moments that stuck with me though.

pronouns

Really?

The last promise of course

Unironically would second this as one to play, it's just too historically relevant regardless of quality

Undefeated

intentionally made her u18 with a polycule ending

I'm noticing...

I like this one just because of the glitchy maps gimmick

where's that guy who said Marcus was bad past chapter 1

He's busy struggling in early game FE6 hard mode after benching Marcus

with male men?

of course not
with older women

gulp

That's literally copy of a "Incest in my hack" thread from FEUniverse that caused a shitstorm.

screenshot it

I just remembered the thing about this romhack that drove me insane; how much they dicksuck that mercenary party that you play a mini campaign with.

The mercenary party dies and everybody keeps talking about them, over and over. Even characters who never met them (and literally acknowledge this) can't stop going on and on and on about them. It's super ridiculous and does not feel like real people talking at all. Must be an OC that's super important the creator.

#empathy

talking positively about mercenaries

The dude seems to like his butches the same way the Dream of Five guy likes his muscle ladies. There are still a few decently cute girls in the hack, so whatever.

I thought dream of five died back in the serenes days?

was the mercenary a hot chick for him to do that

Continuing
It's a thing I see in writing sometimes where it's like the writer is autistic and can't comprehend that just because he likes the two characters he made, the two characters don't necessarily share the feelings the writer has and like each other, especially if they've had little to LITERALLY ZERO screen time together. I can't understate how much they do this involving the mercenary character. Makes me want to rip my hair out and scream "YOU WERE NOT FRIENDS."

No, some they/them archer

I joked to somebody that this situation was literally the best outcome; the mercenaries killed a bunch of their enemies and then failed to meet up with the party so presumably didn't get paid.

did they at least see each other in person or does he hear she died and go "OH MY NAGA NO WHY"

The OP eventually decided against it as he added the incest just for the shock value, and withdrew from the thread, but the pro-incest and anti-incest groups (which included the most "prominent" writers in the community) were still arguing for 50+ replies before jannies closed it.

LAME

it came back last year

wasting your time with romhack shit

wasting your time with romhack shit with fucking tranny shit in it on top of that

Jesus Christ.

nice! is it any good?

It's been a bit of time since I played the hack, but from what I recall, the main characters didn't meet the mercenaries once (well maybe quickly in one of the town segments, I can't say with 100% certainly that the blue haired girl didn't, but the pink haired guy I'm pretty sure never did. It was just funny to have this super dramatic party getting scripted events in a chapter that killed them then later you fight them reanimated and it's treated like a tearjerker and afterwards the pink haired guy gives this heartfelt speech about the mercenaries he never met. I almost recommend playing it specifically to read how ridiculous it is.

no

One of the guys returned with a solo project: Drums of War, and after it was decently well-received, recruited the artist and got token support from the rest of the original team to finish it as a Definitive Edition. A solid, vanilla hack if you ask me.

i'm on chapter 24 and it's still going holy shit i'm getter tired

What a terrible thread

Need an actual rom hack tier list
Gameplay of Engage, story of Jugdral would be S+ tier imo

cringekino..

if you think about it conquest and revelations are just romhacks of birthright

More screenshots I took at the time because I was so triggered by the writing

you said the mercenary was a "they" but was it the body of a chick or was it some hobo

nowhere near the leader you were

well they are dead and you aren't so that's a start

Oh I found a screenshot I took of them. A dude they/them

Do you get a personal skill that gives +5 hit if next to they units

Iron Emblem
I have not
played any
other Romhacks sorry

If I remember right, you actually meet the individual members of the mercs through the early game, even if they don't do much (the crit-for-money guy is a green unit in the "talk to Zeke's dad" chapter, for example), survivors join you later on and some later recruits are connected with them and Zeke is mostly moping because he feels like a screwup who indirectly killed them all when he just became a rightful heir of a nation that he feel unworthy of being. Blair would cry about everything. Still melodramatic, but it makes a bit of sense.

I don't think there were any gender based skills in the morrow's golden country and the only reason I can say that with any confidence is that I would have found it funny and tested to see if anyone has any unexpected interactions with them, like if a character who was strictly they/them triggered a male or female based skill

The mercenaries are unironically a bunch of faggots, including the they/them dude leader with a love interest with the male wyvern knight they/them.

Everyone is a they/them. That was the first thing I removed in FE builder. Fuck that shit.

thats a good list desu

You'll be happy to know that nothing like that exists

ugly as shit

FUCK

that reminds me i need to keep playing mgc
i stopped at zeke's first chapter

why doesn't zeke just sadfuck blair

He's also a fag, and so is she.

no hot chciks?...

files.catbox.moe/z2k8lu.gba
^this game and FE8 self randomizer are the only romhacks worth playing. A lot of other romhacks make you go, "Oh thats interesting" for a few maps before their flaws just piss you off beyond your tolerance.
Sohae and sun gods are perfect examples. The unique level design/objectives of sohae and the fuckload of mechanics in sun gods wrath make the games appear really interesting, but they are fucking torture to play through once the novelty wears off.

Is there no straight sex on that army? Was the villain a white guy?

You mean disappointed?

vyland spotted

WHAT

Every hot chick is also a xer and lesbian. All I wanted was to self-insert as the commander chad dude (who is also a THEY?) and fuck Blair's right hand, a hot pink haired chick, but she's also a lesbian.
Barely. It's a sea of homossexual they/thems
and then you have one or two straight pairings (for characters that also have more same sex pairings than anything).

I figured Blair might have met them in one of those town sections, yeah, but I couldn't recall any deep conversations, I think it was just a hello. I guess that thing about Zeke could make sense though I felt it could have been worded differently to give the impression that it was more about Zeke than the mercenaries. Though of course it's not like I expect a character to express their feelings perfectly all the time, it could be interpreted that he's projecting something out there towards them. It was largely all the other stuff on top of it that made the party's reactions to it feel insanely over the top. It just came across as crazily reverent towards the mercs, if you told me that Viridian was the creator's childhood OC, I'd believe it.

doga breguet

NO!

i thought blair's right hand was arin, who is the commander chad?

WHAT ARE YOU MAKING ME DO

The villains are another fag couple.

i thought blair's right hand was arin

That's her

who is the commander chad?

Desmond

can’t you use another unit?

Sam was the fucking GOAT, as though the creator really, really, really didn't want the archer to be bad in his hack. That Biased Quiver item? Definitely biased alright.

I can't move other units

I can't end my turn

I'm locked to using Farina only

I can't move her

I can only click item

I can't exit the menus

This hack raped me.

Fair and balanced

Arin is purple.

she has some big tits

It's been a while...

They're for They/them sniper lady or for the prepromote sage dude.

i saw her 9 base strength and let her get killed

You missed out, she's an absolute problem deleter

the true KING

alleges to contain FOUR KINGS

make up your mind

The greatest FE romhack ever made was created by me a decade ago and shared with no one because I made it just for myself to enjoy.

You guys HAVE played all of Kaga's post-FE games before diving into shitty romhacks, right?

yes and that's why everything sucks now

same

Nice, a romhack thread. Must feel obligated to ask the daily question: Are these good?

Tearring and Vestaria yes, Berwick not yet.

Yeah, I love Vestaria. I even downloaded the remakes in japanese but I can't play them without understanding moon runes.

no no
no no

ran by fags
creator killed himself
made by sun gods wrath guy so no
you can’t fix fe8

trivialize your game

Nothin personel, kid...

Lucky, Berwick is the best of them.

big ass

I had a lot of fun with Project Jade, the other Sacred Stones remake. Wouldn't call it good, but I was bored and having an army split and longer campaign for both Eirika and Ephraim is fun.

Remakes? Of Vestaria?

creator killed himself

What? The FE4 remake guy killed himself?

*slaps her ass*

Yeah, it's on the japanese site. There's a full remake of Vestaria 1 with added stuff, and apparently the remake of 2 is almost ready. I don't recall the website, as it's all moonrunes. I only found it because it was linked here in Anon Babble a couple of months ago.

Silky smooth ...

From what I can tell, no work has been done on Project Baldr since September 2024 at the earliest and January 2025 at the latest. Enjin did not respond to both DMs and messages directed at them in the discord server specifically about this request they made of me

At them

It's another tranny creator, why is FEU overwhelmingly troons?

Seems like it.

blademaster is in control of another jugdral-like hack

when will his rampage stop

Yep, troon 100% killed himself

this chapter is such a slog jesus
worst one so far ngl

zeke saga would be so much better if you could fuck alexis

I just downloaded this and it is immediately cringe as fuck.

ghebfe

respect WALTER

Wouldn't call it the best but I enjoyed it.
