I had a save from before Chapter 9 from playing along with your run so I just picked up from there. I captured Haitaka and an an archer, so I'm just going to capture 1 or 2 units every map to replace my roster. I am going to do the child paralogues though because I've never played around with the bosses. Most of them suck except for Haitaka and Kumagera.

hey a friend of mine was interested in playing some fire emblem romhacks, i remember some people recommending some before but i dont remember what any of them were. her favorite game is sacred stones so if theres any good ones that are more similar to that those would be best

Order of the Crimson Arm is my favorite romhack though it's closer to a FE 6 & 7 experience. Very well polished except for some missing supports, an avatar like Robin and some fun characters.

I would second Order of the Crimson Arm as it was a fun game with a half decent plot.

fire emblem project ember is a decent fe6 rebalance hack, fixes some of the weaker maps and makes units more viable/distinct. on the easiest difficulty its fairly close to fe8 difficulty wise.

there really are a lot at this point. some are awful. but most full-featured releases--i've played four or five--are all slightly to moderately under par of entries in the mainline series. that's where you should set your expectations. check out the directories at feuniverse (https://feuniverse.us/t/the-fire-emblem-fangame-directory-please-add-your-own-hacks/3339) and serenesforest (https://forums.serenesforest.net/index.php?/topic/54893-rom-hack-and-fan-game-directory/).

road to ruin is fun and competently put together. the male lead kinda sucks and a couple maps use a gimmick that can get a little tedious when the novelty wears off, but overall i had a good time with it

awful emblem demo is great and really my only issue with it is that it ended

if you think every single named character should get a unique prf, consequences be damned, then check out four kings

Mrs. Strange Matter is getting very anxious about the prospect of a Tellius remake at the E3 direct and I fear she may send a pipebomb to IntSys HQ if something like Jugdral comes out instead.

nrook posted:

I agree that Advance Wars would not be posting Awakening-tier numbers and that’s probably why IS hasn’t published a new one (that and I don’t think Days of Ruin sold well), but this is too strong. Advance Wars may not have been a smash hit that redefined the place of IS in the world, but it was definitely a success— otherwise, they wouldn’t have made three more games.

The shift to HD console development means IS is more than busy enough trying to make Fire Emblem and Paper Mario, so I doubt we’ll see Advance Wars come back anytime soon. But I think there’s at least a 20% chance we see another game in the next 50 years.

Nailed it :smug:

In hindsight this was perhaps slightly conservative.

Neither of these happened but I'm ok with it if it means Advance Wars gets rights again.

Man, I am not digging the art style on the Sprite work, but the simple 3d stuff looks good and gels with the old visual style pretty well.

E: okay, Olaf's reaction animation to losing a unit is pretty fun.

it's being developed by wayforward, with intsys in a supporting role of course

i think this is the first time wayforward is making something for a nintendo series?

I imagine it's all in the same engine because why spend money building 2 game systems when the games are close enough you only need to do 1?

The bigger question for me is how much are they changing it mechanically. Can Neotanks get deployed in 1, which games numbers will they use with all the little buffs/nerfs in 2, and will they let you use super powers in one or have you experience it with the classic single powers?

An enemy prioritized an APC in the treehouse footage they showed of AW1 so I feel like they might be as distinct as they ever were

treehouse footage also confirmed 1's training mode has been reduced to three missions tacked on to the beginning of the campaign, which is a shame to me personally but very understandable. there's also no clumsy self-insert, nell's just training andy

Yeah, Max's damage output looks to be down to his AW2 power levels where he only has a 120% multiplier instead of 150%. There was footage of him attacking Drake's Cruiser with a B-copter, and that did as much damage as it would in an AW2 matchup. (Down to around 4 HP.)

Presumably other things are also being adjusted to account for that. No idea if they fixed APC deathlust, and I'm not sure how you would get past some advance campaign missions if they left those as was.

Nah, 6 damage is within the correct range for AW1 Max Copters vs a Cruiser. The base damage is 55%, so multiplied by x1.5 (for Max's bonus) and then multiplied by x0.8 (for Drake's defense bonus) gives 66%, and the game rounds HP up. If it were AW2 levels, his base damage would be 52%. There's also footage from the property race mission against Olaf where a Max MD Tank deals 114% to a tank on Plains, which is the same value as in the original game.

Ah, you're right. I read that damage calculator wrong. So it looks like it'll be fairly faithful mechanically then.

There are 15 mainline FE games previous to the most recent one, plus like cheese knows how many spin-offs/spiritual successors, plus a gacha game. Like as it stands, in TYOOL 2021, it legit loving rules to be an Emblemer.
