Cred Forums plays Fire Emblem

LAST TIME
>OP finally felt the burn of having zero healing items
>It took 2 game overs and the loss of 4 units, including several based soldiers, to finally clear the stage
>Can OP manage to get through without cocking things up further?
>....probably not.




>What's going on?
I'm demoing a romhack of Fire emblem 7, taking inputs from you. You decide who I use and who gets stat items.
And of course, no resetting for lost units.

>What is this?
This is a ROMhack of Fire emblem 7, created by an user named Tact and a few of his buddies
>Where can I find it?
dropbox.com/s/1sj9klkzcsqnr6e/TactHackV4.gba?dl=0
>Where can I find your version?
dropbox.com/s/wf0bz813wyjb66i/TactHackV4NiggerEdition.gba?dl=0
This version has a custom sprite for the tactician, but no other changes.
>I'm new to Fire Emblem. What's a good game to start with?
Fire emblem: The Blazing sword(aka Fire Emblem in the USA) is a fantastic starting point, featuring a comprehensive tutorial. Alternatively, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones also has a briefer tutorial and is all around easier.
>I heard this series is just shitty waifu pandering
that's Awakening and Fates.
>what does each stat do?
HP-health. lose it all and your unit dies(permanently)
STR/MAG- how much damage you do with attacks. this is augmented by your enemy's defenses and your own weapon's MT
SKL- your chance to hit with attacks, as well as score crits
SPD- if your SPD is high enough, you'll be able to double-attack enemies, also affects your chance to avoid enemy attacks.
LUK-affects accuracy and avoidability, and reduces enemy crit chance.
DEF-affects defense against physical attacks
RES-affects defense against magical attacks
CON- unit's weight. this affects who they can rescue or be rescued by, and if your CON is too low, you will suffer SPD penalties while using heavier weapons.
>What game are you playing next?
Radiant Dawn. Afterwards, I'm considering either Soul Harvest(which was recommended to me) or Mother 3.
>
>
game over count: 6
Currently dead:
Boleslav - Yabba Dabba Done in
Ernst - Blasted by magic
Martel - Killed by the Desians for being an inferior being
Beatrice(RETREATED) - Felt her beauty was wasted on the battlefield

And of course, because I'm an unbearable narcissist, here's my video LP on a different save file.

TOO MANY DED

THIS WILL ONLY GET WORSE AS TIME GOES BY


HOW MANY MORE WILL CRY TEARS OF ANGUISH

AS NIGGER FUCKING KILLS THEM WITH HIS AFRICAN TACTICS

>thinking there's ever enough
ALL SERVE KHORNE IN DEATH
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

>Deaths
Damn. I missed a lot last time. fucker Nigger.

yeah you did

youtu.be/IEGo41443iI?t=42

Wait Ernst is dead? I thought it was Kurtis.

youtu.be/UhduvvA_Xpo?t=255

You're right, it is Kurtis.

>referencing TTS at me
you must be a Gene-Stealer.

youtu.be/UHNJUgat2i8?t=151

I was about to say I'd be super surprised if you managed to get Ernst killed.

...

Uh oh...something you want to tell us about, tact?

REV UP THOSE DEATH COUNTERS CUZ I'M READY TO WATCH NIGGER PLAY SOME FE

Cutscenes are a bitch

oh dear, looks like I have EXACTLY the amount of soldiers I need!

African tactics are truly the greatest.

Nigger luck continues

How are we doing on weapons?

Who gets this?

just stocked up last chapter. Everyone is good.

MLG Sven

ded

Sven gets it.

Should we use the dragonshield now?

Haylyn

Make her unkillable

Negu

So, which qt will get the DEF boost? Haylyn or Negu?

Negu

Negu

Negu it is!

I seriously love Sven's facial expression.

...

Oh shit, I'm pretty sure THIS is the map where best girl returns. You'll see who I mean at the end.

Thanks a bundle, I must have missed this.

Here's the stage layout, looks like I have 2 new recruitable units INCLUDING A NEW SOLDIER!

huzzah!

Aceline's still in the party, though.

>yo dawg, I heard you like chokepoints

>Getting enough people killed to be able to field everyone you still have left over

This is some five-dimensional Jenga tactics here.

Maybe I SHOULD play shadow dragon, considering how I play, I won't be punished by the game for playing well.

Hey, wasn't that from when Siggy played a few chapters of TactHack?

Just don't get any healing staffs, and you should get all Gaiden chapters.

It's about as old as the first run of TactHack. Sven's armor was a different color back then.

>all this lore for a thief

Jesus, that speedwings made sven into a MONSTER.

SVEN IS HUUUUUUUUGE

Resistance is for chumps.

nice

>level 10
>14 spd, 10 RES
goddamn.

actually, iirc there are a ton of mages that spawn in this map

...

FOR
CHUMPS

>chapter 6
>only at lv10
>not healing every little damage
step it up nigger

He went two chapters with a staff 'cause he missed a shop.

s-she's fast

Classic Negu level
What's with the cavs sucking so hard in this game

He forgot to buy staves in an early chapter, so he had to bench her

she didn't have any staves for 3 chapters.

not to nitpick, but that's clearly armorknight armor, not soldier armor

The cavs are just more prone to getting screwed cause lower growths. All but 2 mounted units sit at 300 total while infantry are 320.

That's because she's a small girl

There is a joke

FAT

...

...

GOTTA GO SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

Lookin' a little slow there Nigger.

THERE you go

She better since she'll be filling in for Kurtis shoes thanks to a certain tactician.

Time for the tactician to serve as a tank!

Here we are, our new thief!

smug

NIGGER WILL CHOKE THIS POINT

Is this a rare Pepe

Has more res than all of the non magic people combined!

MEG'S ANCESTOR!

...

It's really fun knowing exactly what consequences you'll have to face for this decision.

...

aaaaah....shit. This might be bad.

Once I promote, I swear to gods I will smight you all
NO

NOT THE MURDERHOBO

EAT SHIT.

>inb4 he actually manages to lose Ernst

...

One thing I'll say: If you're going to have a stage of mages, maybe have the shop in the previous stage sell Pure Water?

...

Cute cute cute!

Well...shit. A squad of reinforcements showed up.

...

you fucking idiot

phew

FUCK

...

I have no words, Nigger.

YOU

I dont know if I can take this after yesterday

STOP KILLING THE WAIFUS NIGGER

MURDERHOBO IS PROBABLY GONNA DIE TOO HUH?

I expect nothing out of you and I'm still disappointed.

...

SHOCKING TRUTH

And that is why it's fun knowing exactly what will happen.

YOU

youtu.be/E569zfZ709s?t=32

>killing 2 in exchange for +1 speed

BOO THIS MAN

actually, Nigger did a fantastic job at his choke point.

MY NAME, BY THE WAY, IS TOMO
BUT YOU CAN CALL ME NIGGER THE WAIFU KILLER
HAS A NICE RING TO IT, DON'T YA THINK?

>Speed
Son of a bitch. You already caught up to mine.
I used a Speedwing.

...

Sven always looks so worried.

Can't blame him with Nigger at the helm.

>loses two units
>gets some Speed

Was it worth?

...

>+1 speed in exchange for two waifus
I hope you're happy

It's all over.

Wait a minute, does this fucking hack use the retarded "enemy reinforcements get to move on the turn they appear" rule?

Because if so, holy fuck, why?

He's seeing people die left and right
I'd be worried too
Case in point fuck sakes man we can't even shit post fast enough between these deaths

no. I'm just bad.

Alright fellas, who wants to take bets for how many maps will it take for Nigger to be down to only Al and the grestest Tactician alive?

NIGGER

I'm gonna need more smug reaction images.

...

IS THIS GUY FOR REAL

Reset

>all these people acting like she didn't die when they did this stage
She fucking runs off to attack the reinforcements in her little rage, other units always do that shit. This is why you always rescue them though.

why are you attacking a lance with a sword

>Nigger is getting units killed faster than we can even post

WHAT THE FUCK NIGGER

WHO NEEDS THESE UNITS? WE'LL KEEP GOING WITHOUT THEM

her lance broke.

Are you purposely killing units at this point?

...or maybe we won't.

I'm glad it's over.

OH HOW CONVENIENT FOR YOU NIGGER

>this run
Tomino would be proud

That one knight killed literally everyone

...

Thank God

We sure are seeing the game over screen a lot.

C'mon nigger.

It was a very strong knight

TIME FOR RD

It's gotta be Kevin

AWW YISSS

quitter

1-800-COMEONNOW

>got bodied so hard he's running away from his responsibilities
You are not touching that shit until you finish the demo

YES
Nothing personal Tact I just want to see Nigger squirm at RD more

...

FUCK

I DIDNT EVEN PRESS ANYTHING HOW DID I ALREADY DIE?

>mfw this chapter run
youtube.com/watch?v=sOzM4ClFG1o

...

WOW DUDE I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING

...

...

Jags fan is a classic reaction image.

...

It really is, I love it.

Welp. No choice now.

>defeat boss
>left: 22
Tact?

theyre all bosses, how else could one knight wreck his crew

For the record, I don't even have RD downloaded yet.

You nigger, you rused us

Why, Negu?

Did you honestly think I'd ditch a game I've had nothing but praise for, so I could play a game that I constantly shit all over?

>same gains
Looks like no waifu is coming out alive again

Wow this is some weak ass cavalry

more like:

>Lose waifus
>Left 4

...

...

...

There appears to be a glitch nigger

The character representing you has fairly high luck

That can't be right

Murder hobo getting BUFF

He better or he's gonna die again

Oh hey Nigger, I just noticed you're back. Nice to see you and your superior tactics again.

glad to be back.

...

>resistance

MAGE DESTROYER

>+1 res
Wew lad.

Gotta go fast.

Gotta Recruit fast!

>Resistance

He knows who his strategist is.

Get your ass to Nilda's cage, pronto

I beelined Negu and Sven down to rescue ferry her to safety so I could recruit her.

alright, I am doing much better this time.

Don't say shit like that Nigger

someone post the "get fucking bodied then try again" screencap

GET FUCKING BODIED AND TRY AGAIN

...

...

>plop Sven down on the staircase to stop reinforcements
>THEY STILL SPAWN ANYWAY
oh that is some goddamn BULLSHIT.

RIP Sven, we hardly knew ye

...

To be fair, that was a bullshit strategy to begin with
>hey i can just plop my unit here and stop them WITH NO CONSEQUENCES WHATSOEVER

you can see the disappointment in his mini portrait

...

That's basic fire emblem though. Stick units in fortresses and on staircases to stop them coming out.

ITS TIME TO R-R-R-R-RIP!

NEGUUUUUUUUUUUUU

It's not as of Fates i dont think, but yeah im not disagreeing that it SHOULD work, i just always found the concept of it to be dumb that you dont suffer at all doing so besides not having a unit for a turn or two

is Sven CRUUUZY enough to take em on?

I barely survived that onslaught of mages.

Sven, meanwhile, has a chokepoint, so he should be okay.

After all that, some RES.

>suddenly mage reinforcements at the stairs right of Sven

Only six bosses to go, including the second coming of Kevin

kevindowner is dead.

>2 health

is that the knight that killed everyone last time

I can't believe Kevin is fucking dead

You sending some support down Sven's way?

Like say Murderhobo?

>books are for fags

shit, sven is down to 12 HP and the steel sword cav does 10 damage.

GIVE SVEN YOUR ENERGY Cred Forums WE CAN'T LET ANOTHER WYVERN RIDER DIE

WHY HAVE YOU NOT SENT IN A RESCUE PARTY????

oh FUCK.

Why is that Cav holding a stick?

...

The axe blends in with the armor

GORIFITHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Is there a way to fix that? Make the axe stand out more?

...

...

She's not dead this time.

Honestly I hate the purple colored enemies as a whole.

Oh hell, Sven REALLY needs to hit this guy or he's dead.

You're late, nerd.

Sven looks kinda built in his portrait, too.

How do I into Sven mode?

come on sven don't fuck us

Sven:4
Bullshit reinforcements: 0

LETS GOOOOOOOO

THE CHAMPION

What about the Merc?

There was an entire squadron of soldiers here.

They're dead now...

What ABOUT the merc?

CAN'T BEAT THE SEVN

Well played. Now get him some healing so Speedy Goddess can go even faster.

>Luck +1
Yeah, I'll say.

...

She'll cap Speed by 20.

Calling it now.

Nigger's back?

Did I miss Siggy's playthrough then

yeah, you did. 19 dead, but he beat it.

>decent magic and closing in on speed cap
She's already better than every other GBA cleric and their no MAG growth

Haylyn is stealing all of Niggers speed.

>Dorcas with mage robes
>Name is an anagram of Dorcas
come on, Tact...

Best girl!

BEST GIRL IS BACK

youtube.com/watch?v=RCQxl4Ae84w

Poison his mutton.

At least in 8 they instagibbed every monster in one hit on promotion. Moulder the Boulder was a fucking turret during chapter 20.

...

His wife probably died

HIROSHIMOOOOOOOOT

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

...

>Someone actually used Dozla

How is he compared to Berserker!Ross?

>My man, Warrior!Garcia is cool af.

...

...

I've never actually played sacred stones because I had a buggy cartridge that erasred my game 6 times.

I dunno if I can play through the first 8 levels again.
Its been years now though, is it worth a playthrough?

IT BEGINS

tiring experience?

The game knows how shit you are nigger

It's a pretty fast and easy game so might as well give it a shot.

WHAT HAPPENED TO CORD ASS

It means basically the same thing, trying is just an older term, so its fitting enough

Dozla is only allowed to use Killer axes and Garm, anything else and he becomes eh.
It's pretty short and easy, feel free to use whoever you want.

Yo Nigger glad to see your threads are still alive, got me through the boredom of summer since FE7 LP.

You should try FE Requiem some time, its another romhack like TLP.

>your strategies are nearly perfect

thanks, i learned something new today!

Wonder what hed say if he could somehow count how many times youve had to reset

>like TLP
how much like it?

>Nigger is all smug as Mr. Old Knight talks shit to Al
hhehehehehehehehehe

This is one of the two lords...

That should say enough

>Red Eyes
>Soulsuck
>Eirika map sprite
We're in for a treat, aren't we

Fucking what.

>female lord sprite
>dark magic
>soulsuck
>ASH
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

oh fuck you have to post that here.

>Hooded shaman with red eyes
>Eirika sprite

What the fuck?

Y'all niggas don't understand the beauty of FE Requiem

Is that Manfred shirtless? Bara as fuck senpai.

>FE Requiem

This game is at the back of my head but can't remember what it is

>See's Hawke

OH, THAT GAME...

Why do they always use Ephraim's hair?
Also, that Hawke guy looks chill

>DANTE
>MANFRED
sweet fuck

I was going to play that.

Because Ephraim is the best, that's why.

That's a weird bug. When I played it Ash used the shaman sprite.

>Edgebreaker
I'm almost considering playing that

There's also this lovely piece of FE7 fanfiction made by a Jap, Sword of Heaven and Earth is the name.

>Isaac and Jace's yaoi faces
>BARA Manfred
>Keiran's weird ass mask thing
>Layla +3
>Val's right shoulder plate lopsided
>GUY NAMED HECTOR NEXT TO ACTUAL HECTOR

alright, well, we got another stage complete, but christ I'm tired. I got like zero sleep last night, and ended up missing half my first class as a result. So I'm going to call it here. Thursday, we continue, and see just how many more game overs I can accomplish.

I'mma also say this again: stellar job on balance, tact. these fuckups are entirely on me.

>Ash
>"Gnasher"
>Thelma
>Alicia
>Dante
>Rydell

oh lawd, is it self aware?

Siggy, that you? If you want to do the LP, feel free, but I want to still try playing it myself, at least out of thread..or maybe LPing it.

>Florence
Everything about that sprite looks wrong

Angry Arthur is here

Look at that beard, man. That isn't Hector. That's his brother, Hale. He was fighting in another continent during FE7.

Sword of Heaven and Earth
Featuring Guy from blazing sword

SoHaE or as I like to call it, the Thracia to FE6.

>Josie and Rayden
It's like getting femFE10 Haar and !Pent as Jeigans.

Midori/Girls are the only hacks I can tolerate from JPN because they're just nonsensical fun. Other than that, they steal shit from other content creators and don't credit.

>oh lawd, is it self aware?

BWAHAHAHA!

is that actual fanfiction? I recognize Guy, Erik, Lucius, Lyn, Treck and possibly Rath.

Shit gets amazing, thank fuck for the rad ranger brigade.

Yeah, you play as Lyn's daughter. The girlie on the upper right next to ranger jeigan is Dorcas' daughter, Guy is just Guy but older.

BUDDHA

>lyn's daughter
how the fuck did a lesbian have a daughter?

Well he doesn't look a day older

You also get Dorcas himself in a Gaiden and you can recruit Erik's son with some kid that was IIRC adopted by Harken.

The final boss was cool as fuck.

Nice shit opinion you got there, Nigger.

Tankiest unit in the game, think he got def on every levelup along with attack.
Eric's son is like one of the best recruits in the game, because his bases are good and his growths don't fucking suck, guy pulled his weight.

Did you forget my playthrough in which Lyn was with Florina and Hector was with Jewgirl?

Best character in my run was Dorcas' kid.

>soulsucc

>The Dragon boss from FE6 is playable

Wtf?

>Missed at least 5 threads now
Damnit.

Yeah, she's fucking ridiculous once she gets going, paired her up with the pink soldier chick and they cleared half a map on their own, the other half was held by the Ranger Death Squad.

I haven't been following in a looooong time, is tacthack actually complete?

>implying I read a playthrough for a game FEanon already did

>You'll never read Roy's bizarre adventurer for the first time again

about half done.

TacthackAnon

Is a certian Armor Knight an auto recruit since he lost his wife? But she's not dead?

step it up senpai

Yeah a couple stages were pretty challenging near the end though like the one in pic related.

Can't get him at all anymore

>Fire Emblem will never use the GBA Sprites ever again

>REMINDER THAT YOU CAN PLAY FE6 WITH THESE GIFS INTACT.

Well then.

Also. I like what you did for CH 13

Really putting that dancer to work JUST to get a Luna.

Not sure if you answered, but is a custom sprite for TACT in the works?

>Gonna dump the last few gifs

1/3

Nope sadly, I'm not very good at animation.

2/3

>3/3

>Hectorcopter

Promotion's gonna be normal Druid then?

Nope, necromancer animation.

Looks good, but the only problem is that I don't speak moon, so I wouldn't enjoy it With Midori and the other JPN hacks, they're just using the same FE characters and story. I feel like I'd be missing out, even if the plot and characters are fanfiction garbage.

I can dig it

Nigger...Did you die?

FUCKIN' SANGER you reminded me that i have to beat that bullshit R-gun rivale

I've never been able to decide which my favorite Fire Emblem is, but sometimes I think its the mythical GBA romhack with great characters, story, gameplay, and polish.

I really hope when Tacthack is complete, the legend will be fulfilled. Its been great so far.

requiem has gotten a graphics update since those screen shots.

game still glitched out and gave me capped stats units when they rejoined.

and here's the other one.

sadly these stats rollback to 20 when level'd

Same thing happened to my Hugh one time in FE6. He had 42 magic/40 skill but it capped to 20 after enemy phase.

TACT
CHAPTER 13
THE WYRVEN LORD
IS RESCUABLE
RESCUING CAUSES A GLITCH!

Everyone is gay for Hector. Even women.

Not him but why are you rescuing an otherwise invincible character who's running away?

Tried to recruit. Thought I could. Guess not.

Great hack TactAnon

Really great. Look forward to the next chapter.

So many good characters but I can't ever think of never using this monstrosity.

>guy shares my name
>he's an absolute monster
I'm okay with this.

thanks, mind sharing your endgame team?

>computer kicks it
>miss Nigger's return
Dammit, did I miss anything good since you've been back?

Let me get you a Webm

But effectively? Monster 1. Kurtis. Monster 2. Haylyn because DAT SPEED HOLY SHIT

From there Boleslav and Celia were kind of tied, but Celia beat Boleslav out.

Picked up Lani and immediately put her to work

Had Foskey as my armor knight but didnt' do much with him. Kind of felt like he wasn't needed except to choke for his wife

Elaine for mobile healing
And then Ernst because Murderhobo actually was doing well.

I wanted to put Vlad in, or use Meila more

Finally, I put in Wayland because I love me some Hector

Shit, I remember this guy.

check the last thread.

2 game overs and even in my successful run I had 4 deaths.

You are the first person to use lani almost immediately.

I didn't like how my Sven came out so I didn't use him.

Lani was used right away in my file as well. Fuck, she was basically outright superior to Sven when I got to her in my file.

>You are the first person to use lani almost immediately
>not using Negu's canonical wife
I swear I'll get that review done soon.

>You are the first person to use lani almost immediately.
Ex-squeeze me?

Seems you really made a good flier here. She's like Florina, if you got Florina at a resonable time so she doesn't die to 10 axes.

She's actually more like Farina. Her base stats are pretty much the same, except -2 def, but she joins two levels lower, with three more con, and much earlier. For a Peg, she's a no-brainer.

Took me a bit to find it since my comp died, but Lani was both used a fair bit and highly helpful to have around, enough so that I brought her to the final chapter of the hack so far.

take your time. As long as you are having fun its worth the wait.

>Franck
What? Who the hell is that?

Paladin I got in the last currently released chapter. Fucker got a really good levelup if memory served, and he was probably the main reason why I didn't lose anyone on the last mission either, so I added him in the Extras section of that pic for his contributions.

Paladin you get in ch 14 along with a general and super qt but low level wyvern rider

Oh. See. I black screen after beating 13.

Which is strange as fuck.

The issue is something happening with every emulator BUT VBAM.
Download VBAM and you'll get past that and see the rest of the cutscene.
To transfer saves you grab your savefile and rename it to have the extension .sav and it will work.
I would do this to a copy of your save.

That's the mission with the recruitable dark mage waifu, right? If so, that's one of the glitches I've brought up to TactHack user, but they don't seem to be able to do anything about it. Your best bet is to transfer the file over to VBA after Sir Foskey notices something. There's supposed to be a cutscene that runs after that, but it only seems to work properly in VBA.

I'm running VBAM actually. I had to restart, so I'm rushing Kurtis to the boss and jazz.cause I thought it was the end, will keep you guys posted.

Okay, turned out my newer version of VBAM was causing it. Used an older version and its working just fine
Thanks guys

>I had to restart
Wait, why?

Black screen. I only restarted the chapter. But doing it on a different version of VBAM and it works just fine.

Oh. I somehow interpreted that as you having to restart the whole game. This is why I use save states.

protoaceline is cute!
Cute!

Franck.

YOU ARE BEST CHARACTER

the world needs more cute armor knights
