The Sacred-er Stones? Let's Play Fire Emblem: Sacred War [abandoned]

Put your Let's Plays in here.

I like the vanilla Paladin animations more, so I'm kinda glad they're limited to Seth.

This hack sure does have quite a few stationary enemies, though. I didn't expect that going in.

User avatar
I don't like the crit animation for Seth much, he looks like he's prancing and then stops dead in front of the enemy to deliver one momentum-less hit. Especially compared to the default paladin crit.

User avatar
I agree, tbh. It's just his new attack animation but with him pointing his sword and it shining? Revolutionary. It doesn't even have the flash that most crit animations do...

User avatar
I honestly don't like it much either, and I think I like it less the more I watch it (though I do think his sprites look very good). The lack of momentum is a very good way of explaining what the problem is. I do think it's very smooth compared to a lot of fan-made animations I've seen, though, which is what was impressing me earlier.

I dunno, I'd take it over the paladin's charge-in-place crit animation but that's some of the faintest praise I can think of there, GBA FE crit animations without ridiculous over-the-top flourishes are just kind of sad to me.

User avatar
Yeah, the lack of momentum is really hurting an otherwise well-done animation. Seth coming to a dead stop to attack makes it lack a lot of punch compared to Paladin or Great Knight (which does a similar stop before the attack, but keeps up momentum by having the horse rear up and come down with the blade).

Welcome back! Time for some magic.

Image

We're given one more deployment slot than normal, so Seth is the only one sitting this out. Also, notably, you don't actually need to deploy Eirika on non-Seize maps.

I...somehow missed taking screenshots of Artur's stats and growths, so here they are as presented in the hack's documentation:

Code: Select all

Base stats:
Name 	 Lv Class 	HP 	S/M 	Skl 	Spd 	Lck 	Def 	Res 	Mov 	Con 	Affin
Artur 	 3+ Monk 	21(+2) 	6 	7(+1) 	8 	5(+3) 	3(+1) 	7(+1) 	5 	6 	Ice

Growths:
Name 	HP 	S/M 	Skl 	Spd 	Lck 	Def 	Res
Artur 	60(+5) 	40(-10)	50 	50(+10)	25 	20(+5) 	50(-5)
The drop to his Magic growth hurts, but otherwise, Artur's been given a pretty good set of buffs. That said, this hack isn't kind to light magic users, for reasons that will become apparent... soon. He's perfectly fine for now, though.

Image

Lightning: 95->100 Hit, 5->15 Crit, 35->50 uses

Image

If you look closely here, you'll notice that Tethys' sprite seems to have changed to Lyn's Blade Lord sprite from FE7. Interesting...

Image

The map for this chapter has been stretched vertically with Lute's village all the way at the bottom, and the layout is such that you're pretty much going through every enemy on the map. Granted, given that the objective is to rout, that isn't a problem.

Image
Image

Anyway, let's get to it. Neimi and Colm get started on the combat with this Revenant. With 31 enemies, we've got our work cut out for us. (The village Ross visited has an Iron Axe, just like in vanilla FE8)

Image

Thank you, Colm.

Image

The crit buff to Lightning makes enemies like the Revenants easier to take down (not that they were difficult in the first place), but even with it Artur still needs to land both crits to kill in one round (he lands neither here).

Image

Most of the Bonewalkers have swords, so Franz is borrowing Seth's Silver Lance and going off to the east...

Image

...for better results than Colm.

Image

Vanessa is helping him too.

Image

Meanwhile, Gilliam continues to kick ass by doubling this revenant.

Image

Garcia takes on this Revenant on the bridge, causing a few more to be magnetically drawn to him on the enemy phase.

Image

Thank you, Garcia.

Image

I get kind of a close call when this Mogall Stalker, as the hack now calls them, goes for Colm, but luckily he dodges.

Image

Artur continues to not crit while fighting the Stalker...

Image

...while Neimi takes out this Revenant that tried to come at her.

Image

Moulder brings Colm back from his brush with death, and he goes to finish the Revenant next to him.

Image

His best level yet, folks!

Image
Image

Franz, Eirika and Vanessa make it to this island, which is basically just a meat grinder of Bonewalkers running headlong into Franz.

Image

Close call number 2... This one actually manages to hit.

Image

The Rausten Comedy Troupe makes their cameo, a few more enemies spawn, and we're back in control.

Image

Eirika cuts through this Bonewalker to give Franz a path to the forest so he can heal and tank better.

Image

Vanessa, for her part, works on distracting this Stalker.

Image

Meanwhile, Garcia and Ross start their support chain while everyone else crosses this bridge...

Image

...particularly Gilliam, who charges forward into the fray.

Image

In doing so, he shows off his axe crit animation!

Image

He takes out another mook on the enemy phase and continues to impress.

Image

I'm three for three on Stalker close calls...

Image

Get the fuck out of here.

Image

Thank god for these things taking effective damage against bows.

Image

Colm is also here to fight these guys, because there's a neverending stream of them as reinforcements.

Image
Image

Franz continues to deal with the boney boys, and continues to get stronger.

Image

Eirika, meanwhile, is in a pretty precarious situation, so she just chills and heals.

Image

She takes out one of the Bonewalkers on the enemy phase, and... :negative:

Image

Neimi starts off the next turn with a pretty good level!

Image
Image

Ross has come over to Bonewalker Island for some experience, with Vanessa's help.

Image
Image

Franz breaks down the snag, and Eirika deals with the last Bonewalker here.

Image

Elsewhere, Gilliam continues to carry his weight and then some.

Image

At the start of the next turn, Colm finishes off one of the last revenant reinforcements for an actually good level!

Image

Artur gets the last of them to finally level up, but the wait is worth it. Even with Lightning's buffed crit rate, he hasn't landed a single crit.

Image

Ross takes point on the bridge after Franz created it, and ends up taking out a bonewalker to VERY good effect.

Image

Oh, now you crit after I gripe about it!

Image

Vanessa is on her way to recruit Lute at some point before the end of the chapter - it's kind of hard to get her much experience in this chapter given the map layout.

Image

On the enemy phase, Eirika gets the elusive Double Crit (tm) against a Bonewalker.

Image

That's all that happens on that enemy turn, so Artur and Vanessa work on letting everyone else move up. Another nice little touch added by this hack is that you can actually see the icon of the weapons being used if you turn off battle animations.

Image

She then gets accosted by three revenants, and gets... the best level of anyone thus far. Damn.

Image

Ross can reliably double now... They grow up so fast ;_;
yes I know that's partially due to the star seal shhh

Image

:stare: The same exact level?!

Image

Turn 9 with 8 enemies left, and Lute's in the party.

Image
Image

Stat changes: +4 levels, +3 HP, +3 Mag, +2 Skl, +1 Spd, +3 Res
Growth changes: +5% HP, -10% Mag, +15% Def, -5% Res
Here's a good example of this hack making sure people are usable and able to keep pace with your party right out of the gate - Lute's seen a big boost to all of her stats, but her level's also been raised to match. Again, the loss of Magic growth isn't great, but I'll take it if it means Lute doesn't die to a melee unit looking in her general vicinity.

Image

Fire: 40->50 uses
Thunder: 8->7 Might, 30->50 uses
I appreciate the variety in Lute's inventory, but...If she could get two different tomes to start with, why couldn't Artur?

Image

Anyway, Lute starts off by finishing one of these dudes that Vanessa fought.

Image
Image

Artur finishes the other and puts his extra 10% in speed to good use.

Image

Here's the chapter boss, but you wouldn't be able to tell given it got demoted from an Entombed. It's mostly an EXP pinata, like in the original game, albeit a stronger one than normal.

Image

Neimi still needs to get some experience, so she comes in and takes a crack at the "boss".

Image

Can Eirika turn her bad luck around?

Image

...Sort of!

Image

Now that we're at the bottom of the map, some extra reinforcements just kind of... appear, with zero animation.

Image

I again find myself wishing I had bought a steel bow for Neimi so she can one-shot this thing, but I'll have another chance to get one soon.

Image
Image
Image

Vanessa, Lute and Artur all work on dealing with the rest of the enemies. Lute having Thunder is handy, but she still can't one-round these guys unless she crits (she doesn't).

Image

I switched Franz to the Iron Lance to give the Silver one a break, but even without it he's doing just fine.

Image

Juuuust fine.

Image

Just... fine? Whatever, we're almost done here.

Image
Image

Neimi can't find the crit to finish this thing, but she gets a good level for her trouble.

Image

Moulder patches up Franz for an also good result. And then the last non-boss enemies fall to

Image

Garcia,

Image

Ross,

Image
Image

Franz (who continues to be unstoppable),

Image

and Lute.

Image

Artur and Gilliam also soften up the boss to let Colm get the glory(?) of finishing it off.

Image

How did three different people get the same exact almost-perfect level?! Oh well, this is a good note to end on.

NEXT TIME:

Image

Oh, Joshua, don't string me along like that...

User avatar
I am mildly concerned about Tethys possibly being reclassed out of Dancer. On the other hand, all speed and little strength sums up my Eirika experiences as well.

User avatar
This is probably one of the first chapters things started seeming problematic. I'd kill a bunch of revenants, then at the start of the next turn, reinforcements would bring them back up to about as many as I'd started with. For several turns.

User avatar
Yeah, the reinforcements in that chapter are just... annoying more than anything. Sure, it's good to make sure people get experience, but both of the repeating sets of reinforcements get old real fast. Especially the Revenants, given that they're surrounded by forests.

Mass reinforcement spam is never a good sign, and revenant flood in particular is just a bore in every way imaginable.

This Eirika is starting to look a little concerning but still probably better than some bad lord starts I've had to work with (hi let me tell you about my first PoR playthrough where Ike was adamantly against the idea of gaining strength or speed for like 10 levels).

User avatar
Hmm. I just realized at least a few characters had portrait edits done, though most are pretty subtle so far outside of Neimi's new green leather top. I wonder why that change was made?

Reinforcement spam isn't promising; hopefully it's just an unfortunate one-off choice rather than indicative of overall game design philosophy as the hack goes on.

User avatar
I think the most distracting edit is how Vanessa's face was slightly flattened.

User avatar
I somehow... never noticed any of the portrait edits, but now I'm seeing them and thanks, Seal, I hate it

User avatar
Image

Well, last chapter was kind of annoying. Time for one that's... only partially a slog.

Image

Already, we can see that the map of Serafew has changed up considerably, with us going from west to east as opposed to south to north.

Image

We're again up a deployment slot, but given that, like last chapter, the map has become bigger, it's a good change. Speaking of good changes, let's look at Natasha.

Image
Image

Stat changes: +2 levels, +3 HP, +1 Mag, +1 Skl, +1 Lck, +1 Def, +1 Res
Growth changes: +5% Spd, +5% Def, -5% Res

Natasha's changes are more to help her get up to speed opposed to helping her in the long run - she didn't really need much help in the growth department compared to Moulder.

Her inventory is the same as in the base game - Mend staff and a Vulnerary. There's no real setup to be done, but before we start...

Image

Here's the chapter map as exported from FEBuilder. As I said earlier, we start in the west and have to move east and defeat Saar. While the town having distinct streets is a nice touch, there's no reason to not go straight through the center. The most glaring change here is that the arena is gone - actually, all of the arenas are gone. There's still skirmishes if you really need to grind for EXP, but there's an inherent problem with that which we'll see eventually.

Image

Without an arena to scurry out from, Joshua just runs in from off-screen and takes up position in this forest.

Image

Camera, what are you doing? This isn't even close to Natasha's actual position.

Image

Gilliam visits the first house for... another Dragon Tear. So people just have these things laying around? The house's dialogue does change to reflect it not giving an Armorslayer, instead calling the Dragon Tear a potion that "makes your potential grow faster".

Image

Garcia is going over here to bait out this archer in order to let Vanessa grab the house he's guarding later, and everyone else shuffles forward.

Image

Ross gets the fighting started with a bang as he takes out the first soldier.

Image

The Cavaliers on this map are new, and they're going to be pouring in from the top and bottom of this side street for the first few turns.

Image

And they have the color palette of generic allied cavaliers, for some reason.

Image

Artur finishes off the Archer that Garcia fought for... this. The Defense is nice, at least.

Vanessa then dips into the house for a Dragonshield. Something I forgot to mention earlier is that while most of the stat boosters have remained the same, the Angelic Robe has been nerfed to boost HP by 5 instead of 7, similar to Awakening and Fates.

Image

I'm not fond of using the Rapier like this against normal enemies, but thanks to how strength-screwed Eirika is so far, she needs it to be able to one-round these cavs.

Image

I have Neimi take the Star Seal from Ross in the hopes that it would let her get the kill on this guy, but no dice. She could use the boost more, though, so she's keeping the seal.

Image

Gilliam finishes him instead, and I wish he didn't.

Image

The Silver Lance is proving to be a godsend.

Image

I lost a few early runs to these Fighters, because they always seemed to get absurdly lucky at hitting Lute despite her being parked in a forest.

Image

This time, though, she endures, with this godawful level as her participation trophy.

Image

Oh yeah, these guys. Fortunately they're not likely to get to the houses, but there's a second set of them from the top too.

Image

Ross helps clean up the Cavaliers, and-- oh god, not you too... At least it's a more important stat than Skill.

Image

Also, I have Gilliam actually use a lance for what feels like the first time ever.

Image

Eirika gets accosted by a cavalier and proves that she's been listening to me complain about her lack of strength.

Image

At this point I turned off the backgrounds for battle animations, because as nice as the new backgrounds are I figure with new maps it's a little easier to tell what's going on if you can see the map in the background.

Image

Franz picks a fight with this merc in the interest of actually getting to check out what's in these shops,

Image
Image

and the last of the enemy cavs goes down to Lute and Artur.

Image

Archery contest! No one wins, and then it's on pause forever. You may have noticed the Wyvern Riders near the edge of the frame here; I'll come back to them in a sec.

Image

Mostly because these Brigands have finally caught up... Eirika and Gilliam will be staying back to serve as distractions for them.

Image

Vanessa finishes the archer for a very Vanessa level.

Image

Meanwhile, Franz hits up the Vendor, which has had everything in its inventory switched out for its D-rank counterparts.

Shine: 8->7 Weight, 8->20 Crit, 30->50 uses
Franz picks up a Shine and a Mend - Lute doesn't need the extra Thunder.

Image

Now, normally Franz would be in range of these fliers, but by some act of mercy they can't actually fly over the walls? So we're safe until we actually cross into the east half of the map.

Image

Hi, Joshua! That's a fancy-looking sword you've got there.

Image
Image

Stat changes: +2 levels, +1 HP, +1 Skl, +1 Def, +2 Res, -1 Con
Growth changes: -15% HP, +10% Str, -5% Skl, +5% Def, +5% Res

Joshua's stat boosts aren't all that impressive when you also consider that he's up two levels, but he makes up for that in growth department. I do have to question why he was given more skill when that's a cap he rams pretty hard anyway, but whatever.

Image

Killing Edge: 8->7 Might, 30->50 uses
Looks aside, the Killing Edge sadly isn't all that impressive, especially with the crit nerf taken into consideration.

Image
(ignore my gold count here - I somehow missed taking a screenshot of the armory the first time and had to go back and do it later in the chapter)

Joshua heads off to the armory, and I'm suddenly regretting spending money at the vendor because I forgot you get Silver this early and I'm pretty sure the world map version of this armory doesn't offer any of the silver weapons. This armory has steel and silver versions of all the melee weapons, plus hand axes and javelins.

Silver Sword: Rank reduced from A to C, 13->11 Might, 80->75 Hit, 20->50 uses
Silver Axe: Rank reduced from A to C, 15->13 Might, 70->65 Hit, 25->50 uses
Silver Bow: Rank reduced from A to C, 6->8 Weight, 13->11 Might, 20->50 uses

I splurge here and get a silver bow for Neimi, entirely skipping over steel for her because the silver bow is better in every way; even with its weight increasing it's still lighter than the steel bow. The other silvers will have to wait for now.

Image

That said, Neimi won't be using it right away as she's helping with the brigand cleanup.

Image

Garcia is too!

Image

Artur continues to not get lucky with crits, sadly.

Image

And now, the bottlenecking begins. Vanessa and Franz are now in range of the Wyverns, and Vanessa... doesn't fare great against hers, double hit notwithstanding.

Image

Franz does better, but isn't fast enough to double.

Image
Image

Fortunately for Vanessa, Lute and Neimi help pick up the slack.

Image

Franz switches to the silver lance here...

Image

...to let Vanessa finish this guy off.

Image

Well, might as well break in the killing edge.

Image

It turns out that the fliers can fly over.... exactly one tile of the wall, which is marked as a Fence instead? No idea if that's intentional on Seal's part or not. Anyway, Neimi takes out the pegasus in front of her.

Also, there's more new reinforcements, in the form of Even More Peg Knights and some cavaliers.

Image

Natasha gets her first level, and it doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Image

Well, this is getting chaotic...

Image

Neimi actually breaks in the silver bow now because without it, she can't kill from full health. It's worth it!

Image

Vanessa sits on the fence so that the remaining pegs can't get through it.

Image

Franz continues to hold the line. It's entirely possible that he'll cap strength before promoting, which is kind of wild to think about in comparison with vanilla Franz.

Image

Ross is also holding the line for Gains, even if he took a hit here.

Image

Oh no, a Slim Lance crit, whatever will I do?

Image

Here's what I'll do.

Image

Shine also gets a moment to, uh, shine.

Image

A very minimal but good level!

Image

:flame:

Image

Eirika ends up being inadvertent pegasus bait, but she's still hanging in there, and we're almost done with this bottleneck as the reinforcements have stopped coming.

Image

Lute starts the breakthrough off by taking out a cavalier. 999: Nine Magic, Nine Skill, Nine Speed

Image

Joshua finishes one of the last peg knights,

Image

and Neimi takes the other.

Image

Vanessa finishes one of the last cavs, and... the other two don't move, so it's finally time to press on.

Image

Vanessa takes a Secret Book from this house (again unchanged from vanilla), and Garcia makes his way to the final house.

Image

Gilliam works on dismantling Saar's wall of soldiers. Saar still has a javelin, but he's not very accurate with it.

Image

He's otherwise pretty unremarkable, as he's just The Same But Slightly More compared to vanilla.

Image

Natasha's second level is a much better showing.

Image

Artur gets a lucky crit (finally!) to finish another of Saar's groupies.

Image

Neimi isn't so lucky, but Joshua is able to get a kill off of this.

Oh, by the way, that priest in the back?

Image

Physic: Rank reduced from B to D, 15->20 uses, 22->25 EXP on use, healing formula changed from Mag+10 to (Mag/2)+20
I've been skipping over enemy inventories, but in cases like this where the enemy is getting shit before we can use it I'll make exceptions. Physic is extremely good in this hack, healing as much as Mend without being locked to promoted units. It feels almost cruel that the hack teases you like this with it this early on.

Image

That aside, Lute roasts another one of the stationary soldiers.

Image

What are you gonna do with that big javelin? Gonna hit me? Better make it count. Better make it hurt. Better kill me in one shot.

Image

Ross takes out the last cavalier to top off on a high note. He'll be promoting at the start of chapter 6, where we'll see something special this hack does with the trainees.

Image

Meanwhile, Gilliam gets a very Gilliam level from finishing the final soldier.

Image

I don't want you healing Saar, so get out.

Image

Garcia finally gets to the last house, where he gets an elixir instead of a torch. I think I'd have preferred the torch, honestly, given chapter 6 is still a fog map.

Image

Franz tries to get a swing at the boss, but no luck.

Image

...Really?

Image

Lute is a bit luckier.

Image

I try to squeeze a bit more experience out for Vanessa, but she also gets unlucky and misses.

Image

I had wanted Eirika to be able to one-round Saar to conserve some durability on the rapier, but oh well.

Image

:rolldice: You were doing so well...

Image

We still get the Guiding Ring for saving all the houses. Interestingly, promotion items (except Master Seals) in Sacred War give whoever holds them a slight stat boost, so as not to just take up space in the convoy - the Guiding Ring provides a passive +1 to Resistance.

NEXT TIME:
Image

Ephraim and friends are in for the long haul.

User avatar
Apologies for the delay between updates here - I'm working on moving, so things have been kind of hectic... :oops:

Well at least upping Silver Bow weight makes some sense if you care about CON doing things. Of course having them be available for purchase this early even despite whatever cash issues one might have from just not selling those dragon tears if you wanted just makes steel weapons look like even more like the awkward middle child who no one likes.

Also buffing physic to mend-level healing what the actual hell, no upping its g/use to 200 or so (since I'm pretty certain that even if it's possible to change that part of the staff EXP formula this hack doesn't) doesn't make that change any less absurd.

Crits only deal 2x damage instead of 3x in this hack.

Oh, right. Thought that meant the Killing Edge was nerfed from 30 crit to 25 but it wasn’t show.

The changes made to Physic feel like they were made primarily to go "haha, look at this cool think that you can't get for lord knows how many chapters!" And we're going to be seeing a few more examples of that in... two updates.

Yeah this hack just seemed to give out a whole lot of mixed signals in general, which is why I stopped after chapter 7 or so. There are changes I could understand if it were a certain kind of hack but the other changes just make it look like they were there for the sake of making changes. Like I could understand the Physic taunting if this were the sort of hack where you could capture enemies or steal staves and put that priest in a position where doing so would be risky but rewarding but that AND buffing the base heal amount is just literally what is trying to be accomplished here.

I got bad vibes as soon as I saw Seth having skills without the skill system, but these changes all seem so...bizarre and aimless. It feels like they're trying to make FE8 into another FE game altogether, but I'm not sure which one.

Also, I'm now wondering if there's a patch out there that lets you play the Japanese version of FE8 without having to read Japanese dialogue.

Also, I found somebody had already hacked a version of this for me:
https://forums.serenesforest.net/index. ... sion-hack/

User avatar
So, I've recently been playing through this hack, and just now finished the third dungeon, meaning I'm completely done with it now. I posted fairly detailed thoughts in Vilkacis's thread that was linked earlier, though those are obviously spoiler-tastic as far as mechanics and chapters are concerned (I hadn't gotten to the new story content at the time of writing that).

To keep things more vague, as someone that played through the entire hack, I found it incredibly interesting, it did a lot of very cool things, but also a few questionable things. Still, overall, the experience was a lot of fun.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing you go through the same blind journey I did, Moonside.

it should be noted that anything i may have said on this subject is from the perspective of "saw it and skimmed over it" and should absolutely not be considered meaningful in any way, i still don't see myself wanting to play it but i guess i'm down to watch someone else do all the hard work :v

User avatar
Hey Vilk. We're just turning this LP exodus forum into a Fire Emblem splinter forum, so I thought it necessary to bring you into this, given how famous you are for turning FE6 into a basket of fan-made sprite rips. No idea why Isadora would be the avvy you'd use with that reputation, though...

Speaking of FE6 romhackers, is Onmi still around? Is he ever going to finish that punchline of a romhack he kept advertising in between bashing FE10? Is he still going to claim that its story is worse than FE14?

Actually, I’ve kinda got a new request. Since the SA thread is asking you about a flier-only run of a game, how about trying it in a game that isn’t one of the GBA Fire Emblems? FE2 and FE3 are both pretty infamous for how OP and how early-recruited their peg knights are. Plus I’m kinda bored at seeing everything be FE7 this, FE8 that.

EDIT: Although as I say that, I’m realizing SA doesn’t have an FE3 run, period. Just two LPs of FE11 and FE12 each, one set archived and the other not.

She's willing to throw away her romance with her engaged fellow knight to chase after Sain and Legault. Her standards baffle me.

I mean you can even make Eliwood ignore his ongoing on-screen romance with Ninian and go for a random merc he found along the way. Harken is presumed dead and a secret enough recruit that i don't think i've ever even got him, much less found out about the relationship in-game. And he never even called!

...Also, have you seen Legault?

Why A support Isadora and Legault when you can awkwardly hate-support Matthew and Legault instead? (Aside from having to field both of them long enough to hit A.)

Oh, you should definitely not A-support Isadora and Legault because it ends Very Poorly if you do, i just wanted to point out that i see why she would.

Usually it’s Heath and Legault that the fangirls want to pair together.

I don't think I've ever used Isadora. Or Heath, but that's because I hate his hair and my Fiora always seems to want to get buff

I thought Florina was the peg knight everybody used in their runs.

She refuses to get strength for me so I almost always end up benching her. I usually end up fielding Farina for offense and Fiora ends up shuttling or dodge-tanking, based on whatever she decides what she's gonna focus on that playthrough. The only character in that game I always use regardless of how he turns out is Wallace. Because he's Wallace.
