I modified code in Lex Talionis LT-Maker, the Fire Emblem fangame engine!

FE4 maps would probably break my game balance in half as all those dull turns of moving many units across an empty map ensures everyone's Focused by the time they get into battle.

During the player's turn, attack an enemy while you have Weapon Triangle Advantage over the enemy to obtain the Victory Rush status for the attacking unit and inflict the Break status upon the foe. Break: Unit cannot counterattack until the start of his next turn or the end of his second battle this turn. Victory Rush: Unit can move again this turn, use Triangle Attack to attack multiple enemies, or use Baton Pass to Refresh an allied unit.

@JasonGodwin69 Thank you.

Seth might be able to beat his game, but can he beat his game in 1 turn?

Thanks!

I'm using the Lex Talionis engine. With custom components added.

@@JasonGodwin69 Oh, I see! Very cool stuff, keep this up!

We will!

Fire Emblem: 3 Douses... of orange paint targeting everyone in the triangle attack zone

Seth needs it (in the final release units exp gain during battle is disabled and autolevel after each map to prevent degenerate exp milking strats. I don't want people wasting 30 hours grinding their dancer.)

lol

It's Jason Godwyn's Fire Emblem: Jason Godwyn Edition featuring Jason Godwyn from the Jason May Godwyn series.

The video was recorded with no audio, I was listening to an audiobook at the time.

@JasonGodwin69 thanks for the clarification.

"I'm not in danger, I *am* the danger" _crits you from across the map_

What can I say? Game design is my passion.

I'm using LT. Originally I was going to use Romhacking but then my rom corrupted on the first day from a minor edit like a sign from God telling me not to waste a second more, and I looked for alternatives.

Lex Talionis engine

The only thing better than a PC port... A Python remake! I wish Pokemon had this, it would make creating without the limitations of the GBA and RPG Maker XP way easier. It's called the Lex Talionis Engine because originally it was used to make a Fire Emblem fangame called Lex Talionis.

@@JasonGodwin69 Out of curiosity, what limitations does the emerald decomp have? i haven't really come across anything that didn't seem at least possible.

I don't know anything about the Pokemon Emerald Decomp, I made Jason Godwyn's Pokemon Pink using RPG Maker XP and Pokemon Essentials.

Right now that Skill is coded to only grant a Charge if the unit attacks on Player Phase, not if the unit Counterattacks on Enemy Phase, but the check for the current phase can be altered or removed.

Alternate title: Fire Emblem Critical Hits except balanced.

I forgot I made this.

Did they just not market Persona 5 Tactica at all? Seems like barely anybody talks about it online. Shame, it has some of the worst bosses in all of video games. And two pretty good ones(Bandages and the Statue).

@@JasonGodwin69 Like so bad I should be curious, so bad I should go study it as an example of what not to do, or so bad I shouldn't even bother?

@@CowCommando Worth studying. Avoiding spoilers. Mad Queen Marie has 6000 HP and your attacks with the strongest possible team do like 100 per hit. You'll be hitting her around 60 times, have fun with that. But she can't OHKO any of your guys even if she downs them(probably. she was no threat to my guys), so this is a tedious back and forth you can slog through without ever needing to heal. Marie gets to move more than once per turn, plus another turn for every time she hits one of your guys while he's out of cover. She can use a ranged grab attack, pulling someone closer to her and out of cover, then hit them, getting another turn, how fair. Sometimes she'll throw these exploding flowers, they're not a threat, which is lame, and you're supposed to hit them back at her to down her but if you're out of range that's not an option. Downing her only gives you a small amount of All Out Attack damage anyway. After a while she fullheals herself and gets on the car. Her attacks are boring, telegraphed, easy and uninteresting to dodge, and you just do damage to her while waiting for this to be over. Get her close to a wall and move against the wall close enough to her and her car attack can't even move because she crashes into that adjacent wall, the big enemy that charges at you in the overpriced Paint DLC had the same problem. Also if she can be baited into charging at one of her flowers, that works, but it likely means you left a character out of cover to make that happen. Eventually, SHE HEALS HERSELF FULLY AND BECOMES INVINCIBLE because you're supposed to bait her into charging her car into a specific point so Toshiro can drop the wedding bell on her. Yay, scripted sequences. Good luck with that when VISUAL EFFECTS DON'T SHOW UP PROPERLY AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE'S SUPPOSED TO GO. By the time it's over, you'll never want to pick this game up again. But you should because the game gets way better. Randy Cunningham Ninth Grade Ninja? A fine boss fight. Feels like it should have dialogue but after Marie's endless yapping it's nice to fight someone quiet. Sometimes he hits your guys with shurikens. Sometimes he does Shadow Clone Jutsu, hit the fake ones and they vanish, but all three share a health pool, so MAXIMIZE YOUR DAMAGE. There doesn't seem to be a visual indicator of which clone is the real one, at least in my haunted-ass copy of the game for the Nintendo PC. Preserve MP by shooting the Ninja, use magic on his clones when they're in other rooms because magic doesn't require LOS. This game is so much better than Fire Emblem when it comes to making LOS and Cover interesting. It's annoying that this takes place right after two other maps, so retrying the map means you retry that part too, but Yusuke's Auto-Rakashakashuku or Asakujaku or whatever it's called, the movement buff, it's great for rendering the timed doors completely irrelevant by letting you go basically wherever you want. Bonus Movement for the WHOLE PARTY for the first few turns is busted in a game where 6 mov is considered mediocre. Why did they give Haru 4 mov? She didn't deserve the movement of a FE Knight in a game where foot units can hit 10 mov or higher. Cyber Mecha Death Buddha? Here's a much better use of scripting in boss fights. You interact with a gimmick (red and blue on/off switches connected to moving platforms) you've seen before to manipulate the terrain and get your guys around different maps dealing with different enemies. Cameras will immediately knock you back and summon more enemies if you cross their field of vision. Your gun always does a set amount of damage when you hit CMDB, and the challenge is dealing with the terrain and obstacles using actual tactics, which is awesome. You use the knowledge and skills you've been building up the whole game, and actually hitting the boss is just pressing the button that starts the next phase and takes a set amount of health from him. This isn't an obnoxious damage sponge where you have to hit him 60 times or more before he starts pulling out anything new. Bandages The Edgehog and his dead waifu... An awesome fight! I love the way the enemy will summon a bunch of minions and orbs and become invincible, forcing you to Down and All Out Attack them, causing Bandages to take heavy damage. Sure, it's easy as hell because enemies spawn out of cover, but it's incorporating the actual mechanics of the game (cleverly deal with small groups of enemies at once) into the boss fight (survive and damage one non-threatening enemy from cover until you eventually win) way better than Marie could ever dream of. Damaging a trapped ally to free him is cool too, makes positioning trickier. And the final boss, Ultra Mecha Death Yabbadabbadoo Mk II? PAIN. First you spend forever boringly chipping away at a weak enemy's OVERLY HIGH HEALTH under no real pressure to strategize or think. Our MP is too high so MP management isn't an interesting question, SPAM YOUR STRONGEST MOVES WITHOUT THOUGHT like you're playing Pokemon. And then you get to fight a boring final boss whose attacks might Paralyze your dudes, making them unable to move, which can be a disaster when it's not completely pointless. The moving platforms are bullshit and the enemies they spawn in are lame. And the Splatoon DLC? Bosses that cannot be Downed or Statused only DPS'd (or AoA'd by a nearby foe) SUCK. Paint Girl was easy and boring, or tedious and boring, but never as bad as Marie or the final boss. Akechi's position switch attack was fun to play with, it deserved to be a spell, maybe a Light or Dark spell. Every element should have unique spells to go with the basic ones, and Nuke is a boring element whose vortex effect should have been a Wind spell. When the final boss happened I wanted to see Paint Girl join you and become playable, or hit the final boss in a big moment to take her invincibility away, but no, she just paints the ground so you can move through it. Which slows down the pace for no reason. This is a stupid gimmick. A problem artificially created so she can solve it. And then after a while she paints the whole ground and boss so NOBODY HAS COVER. ...I think? It's been a while since I played that DLC and my memories of it are hazy because nothing really stuck into my memory. I remember that fight against the Slammer and Charger boss sucking, the final few turns became a farce with my dude and chick wounded darting in and out of spell range to regen MP and hit the one remaining dude despite their low health and inability to heal, and I think that map was the one time I used Akechi's Super to finish this. Literally never used the girl's Super once. One time I forgot about Akechi's position swap effect if he shoots someone during a One More and screwed myself during the final boss and undid the turn, but when I chose Undo in the menu it undid the previous turn instead of rolling back to this turn's start. Did it always work like that? What a stupid system! I wish units during a One More could use Baton Pass to give their turn to another teammate, and I wish learning a stronger version of a spell didn't erase the previous version of the spell (This would be fine in Pokemon to eliminate redundancies but in a game where the MP economy can be BALL-CRUSHINGLY TIGHT sometimes, having access to cheaper spells is so good I sometimes made weak Personas specifically for hitting people with the weakest cheapest spell, Wind!), and I wish AOE spells could target tiles so they could hit the ground between many foes allowing me to hit all of them, I miss Into The Breach shove missiles, and I wish I could consume one Persona to teach its ability/spell to another Persona, and I wish Personas didn't have stats so I can equip a Persona with two interesting abilities/spells without needing to replace it eventually because power creep, and I wish Noir didn't suck ass. Seriously, she was so bad the rare times I looked at a map and said "I should use Psychic there" I made a Persona to use Psychic for me and gave her to Ann so Haru's ass wouldn't get cold after taking a break from her spot on the bench. On an unrelated note, naming the villain Marie/Marie Anto is cringe. There are countless evil women throughout history she could have been named after. Bloody Marie, perhaps? (then again her father and successor killed more people, her reputation as the maddest bloodiest monarch of all time is Protestant propaganda). Making her the Queen of Hearts from Alice In Wonderland was the obvious choice, and though some might say P5 Strikers beat them to the punch there, there's more than one Alice in that game too. Cognitive Marie, the giant pink woman, is how Toshiro sees Marie Anto, the evil woman his evil father set him up with. They're both adults. Marie Antoinette was married to Louis-Auguste (later King Louis XVI). Born an Austrian archduchess, she was sent to France at 14 to cement a political alliance with France through marriage. She married the 15-year-old Dauphin in 1770. The famous quote "Let them eat cake" is something she never actually said. This line first appeared in Confessions, written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau in 1767, when Marie Antoinette was only 11 and hadn’t yet arrived in France. There’s no historical evidence to prove she ever said these words, and historians widely agree that it was slander, at best an idiotic mistake. The French hated her for being Austrian, and demonized her as the personification of the "evil, treasonous, wasteful rich". A cackling supervillain. But she never did anything as evil as freeing serial killers and Cologne New Years Struggle Snugglers early to make room for political dissidents arrested for telling the truth on Facebook given over 10x the sentences of actual killers. If I made a villain do that sort of shit in a Fire Emblem game, FE fans would call that unrealistic.

I forgot the Sumo boss until I replayed the game with a self-imposed challenge and Cheat Engine multiplying the speed by 2.5x. That should tell you how forgettable that schoolteacher boss was. Nakadashi or whatever his name was... Wasn't much of a boss battle, or a fight at all. Sumo enemies instantly dying upon falling is a neat gimmick, it fits the way Sumos try to push their foe out of the ring, but usually by the time you've hit a Sumo enough times to push them near the edge, one more hit is enough to finish them off anyway. Nakadashi rejects this mechanic making his fight less interesting. Hit him until he dies. At least his boss arena was cool.

Pokemon Pink was uploaded to Relic Castle but then the site got taken down. I'll have to reupload the game.

I forgot the FE8 cast's personality traits when using them as placeholders lol

It's from the Fire Emblem 3 Hopes OST but I forgot what the track's called.

I get where you're coming from, but the foes are being Tactically Shoved so hard, knocking the targeted foe into another foe damages him as much as hitting him with a sword/lance/hammer/lightning bolt/whatever. Tactical Shove movement only stops when there's a wall or ally in the way.

I hope they also play the Fighting Game and Pokemon fangame I've been working on these past few years.

The secret is to use a shield that isn't just cosmetic.

Trust me, this mechanic will be necessary to beat the game. Probably. (Let me know if there are challenge videos about never breaking the enemy in this game!)

I have to give credit to the level designer for this chapter, he really went all out.

Whoops!

Peak game design

150mm Stalker Turret.

?

@@JasonGodwin69 Because the unit has Joshua’s portrait and uses a Dragonstone.

I see.

Fire Emblem loves its same-turn reinforcements.

I have a lot of interests and I enjoy being creative.

@@JasonGodwin69 good on ya. Keep it up! I love coding and retro games too

This mod removes the kids from the Hoshidan parents and gives them to the Nohrian parents(and Mozu). Marrying Kaze won't cause Midori to spawn with this mod active because Midori is Mozu's.

@@JasonGodwin69 oooh I see, I didn't catch the "removes from the hoshidan parents" part. Interesting! I may try playing this in the future :)

I'm using the Lex Talionis LT-Maker engine, yes.

Why diagonal mov/ranges? Because nobody can stop me. On a square grid you can be attacked from four places at once. On a hex grid? Six places. But on a square grid with diagonal movement and attacking? Eight places at once! And it only gets exponentially better when ranges increase. 24 units with 1-2 range options can surround a 25th unit and strike him. It turns Fire Emblem into more of a position-based strategy game by making Juggernauting harder, potentially even impossible.

Ah, I think I'd have to see it in practice but in principle I think that could work well with the right map design. It is worth noting, however, that diagonal movement is essentially worth double that of horizontal/vertical movement on a square grid, and because of that it strikes me as an odd choice. You've probably thought of that though.

And mixed damage options that don't suck

Or a secondary item that gives plus 1 move and canto

Maybe in a bonus difficulty.

Galeforce except killing isn't even necessary, you just have to end your turn hitting someone and my Canto code gets confused. After fixing how Hit And Run, the skill all Infantry Units share to let them spend up to 2 unspent movement points moving after combat, is supposed to work, I decided to turn the glitched implementation into a separate feature.
