GBA Fire Emblem: Sacred Echoes (Hack)

[RageBurner]

A demake of FE2 3DS utilizing FE8 as a base.

Credits: HyperGammaSpaces
Version: 1.1.2
Date: 29th of October, 2023
Source: https://feuniverse.us/t/fe8-sacred-echoes-v1-1-complete/4523

Overview:

• The Gaiden/Echoes magic system, where spells are learned by level-up, are accessible through the B.Magic or W.Magic menu, and cost HP to cast.
• Various mechanics tweaks to mirror Echoes and Gaiden’s combat system, including the EXP formula.
• Different maps and objectives from the source games.
• Weapon Triangle applies to equippable weapons and can be one-sided. Think carefully about how to approach WTA and WTD!
• Branching promotions for the Villager classes, with 5 possible class options for each. (Faye now has access to the Archer line.)
• 3rd tier classes, with expanded caps allowing stats to reach 40. The dread fighter → villager loop is also included. Female sages can now promote into female dread fighters and take part in the loop as well.
• A functional world map that can be explored, just like in the originals.
• Still CGs adapted from Echoes (and some original art!)
• Additional units to fill gaps in the Echoes roster (a Thief and an axe user)
• Sacred Springs allowing units to gain experience, stat boosts, or even revive dead units.
• Casual/Classic mode split.
• All-new GBA remixes of Gaiden and Echoes soundtrack.
• Various UI improvements.

There is a bug with conversations that do not trigger. The flash of characters that indicates the support works stops even though they have not reached lvl A yet. As soon as you change class it works again but can randomly stop working anytime. I am on my 2nd playthrough and it happened both times with most characters. Otherwise I love it. Especially that you can disable fruitless level ups.

During precisely this year I ventured into the Famicom's Fire Emblem Gaiden for the first time and enjoyed and appreciated it very much.
So this hack caught my attention and I started playing just to see how it was... And I've been playing for 19hrs now....
It's a good job,because as far as I've played there have been no glitches or bugs.
The plot obviously has much more presence and I think it's great that there are difficulty options.
In short, I'm really enjoying it and I hope to finish it so I can have a better appreciation of the game.

If i knew assembly, I'd help out and add in the overworld combat/exploration the original games had. (Mostly toward Echoes)
Not to mention the extra area is entirely that lol

In my humble opinion this hack sits at the peak of the Fire Emblem romhacking mountain. It is quite literally perfect on so many levels that I don't think something of this quality will happen again for a very long time.

The portraits all custom handmade recreations of the original characters, the story fully retold and enhanced, the world map fully implemented and flipped vertically, post game, supports, extra content, the magic system from the original game, remade music (very well done too) and revamped maps (the biggest thing the original needed).

This hack is easily a 10/10 because of how far and beyond it goes. It isn't just a full on remake of SoV/Gaiden it is a true flex of the power of the Fire Emblem rom hacking scene.

I've played this one, it's really well done! The little plot changes aren't bad, and the two extra characters aren't too intrusive, I think I only had to use the thief maybe once or twice. Atlas becomes an axe user, which I think really suits him.

The only nitpick I have is that art wise some of the characters don't look much like themselves, for example, the Pegasus sisters have more wavy hair instead of straight (you can see Est in the screenshots). But it's just a small detail, the art isn't bad overall at all. The hack is definitely worth a try if you like Echoes!

Hypergammaspaces and everyone involved in this demake did an insane job

the best FE romhack.
by the way, how about demake ofof Engage, have you ever seen it on the Feuniverse web in the process, will it be uploaded here later?

There is a demake of Engage? If if it exists I guess I could look into it.

One of the best part of this hack is that you can take your time and do free battles. So if you want to test a unit but later decide to change for another you dont need to get worried about the level gap

You can play on the hardest difficulty yet take it easy if you want, or play it like other FE and beat each stage in one go with your favs units with no negative effect

Also, the plot does get some little changes (like Faye, and a very mixed event related to Celica got changed)

Finally, once you beat the game an optional stage opens where you have a random chance (can be replayed) to recruit secret characters. Including Berkut and Rinea!

This really looks like the best version of the game.
