Overview:

In a world where the healing arts are forgotten, a chance encounter changes a huntress’s life forever…

• Follow Kyra, a huntress from a small village, as she is dragged into a whirlwind of tragedy and hope in equal measures.
• Play through a campaign of over 25 maps! (Plus a wacky postgame if you feel like you want more by the end).
• Meet a cast full of all sorts of heroes, weirdos, misfits… and baddies.
• Experience an entirely revamped class tree! Due to the unique staff situation, lots of existing classes were reworked or recontextualized. A number of new classes have also been created.
• Listen to a fully custom soundtrack pulled from a plethora of sources! You can hear a few examples in the trailer.
• And much, much more!

...Not to be that guy, but... Kyra's portrait does NOT look like a woman, like at all....
I know it she's a huntress. but... that right there, for as good as the overall sprite work is, just isn't doing it for me.
i... dunno why this bothers me so much, but it kinda does...
...Sorry.

The "male" looking chin does NOT help in the slightest honestly and the hair cut is straight up male anime as well

I think this boxart was

I think this boxart was AI generated

It is and it's not the original too it looks like a bootleg version but this one would have looked better but of course this is my opinion

I think this boxart was AI generated

I think this boxart was AI generated

most likely is, all of the 1px stars are different sizes + the left hand gba cover looks kinda blobby. also that bow, wayy too easy of a fix for a person to have made that lol

Gamers when a woman is old

Can we talk about the arrow being BEHIND the characters head on the box? Is that a trick-shot?

It's hag as in swamp hag. As in wicked witch in the woods who will kidnap you and eat you. "In White" refers to white robess, which across most cultures is emblematic of a healer. You have brainrot.

Fire Emblem: Modern Audience

Pretty much.

Wait till you see Hestia. You'd swear it's a guy wearing a wig...

I meant the original series, not the Rom hacks. I don't think I've played a single JRPG from start to finish. Only recently got into EarthBound but the game decided to softlock my 4 hours worth of grind.

From memory... (keep in mind most of the numbers are added by fans and simply represent the order of release, not actual sequels, most of the time):

FE1 (NES),
FE2 is a side story,
FE3 is an expanded remake of 1,
FE4 happens on a completely different continent,
FE5 is a sort of simultaneous midquel to 4,
FE6 stars a completely new continent (again),
FE7 is a prequel to FE6 (I don't make the rules),
FE8 is unrelated,
FE9 and FE10 are related,
FE11 and FE12 are (again) remakes of 1 (very ugly),

From this point onward they are all independent releases, as far as I know, YMMV.

As far as I can tell, these are thankfully all independent stories. What they have in common is using the same game (Sacred Stones, due to being the most advanced GBA entry) and the same toolset (FEBuilder).

Can you post Fire Emblem - Deity Device ? I always heard its one of the best rom hacks ever.

This one was cancelled and pulled by the author, sorry.

Glad to see these hacks being uploaded. By any chance does Anyone have the romhack for FE8 called Duty Calls

 

[RageBurner]

I’m sorry, the title of the game makes it sound like it’s a meme hack.

I can't blame you. Hag was a poor word choice, but no, it's a serious hack. The titular "Hag" is just an elderly woman that happens to be a phenomenal healer. The only in the game world, apparently, and that's the whole gimmick of the hack.

 

[Frickinfrik]

No. Why would you think that?

Is this a parody hack?

No. Why would you think that?

Oh cool another one iv not yet played! Thank you!

This one has a very interesting premise: having exactly one healer, no more.
