Trinidaddi Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Here to ask the community how many characters they would think is sufficient in a hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moblin Major General Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Depends on how long you plan on it being. I think the GBA games have a max of ~40 units, maybe more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinidaddi Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Okey i was thinking of maybe like 26 chapters or 24 just wanted an estimate on how many units people would want. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Light Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) I'd say your best bet would be to count up the recruitable characters in official Fire Emblem games, compare that to the number of chapters, and then kinda scale it to get an idea for roughly how many characters you should put in your own hack. If you want my estimate, if your hack is going to be 24~26 chapters long, then probably somewhere in the 28~35 range would be a good number of recruitable party members. Of course, it's your hack, so it's your call. Do be aware that the GBA Fire Emblem games only support up to 51 characters recruited at any given time, though! Any more, and things start getting kinda glitchy and characters start getting erased and overwritten and stuff. I don't really imagine you're likely to be pushing up against this limit, but it's definitely something to keep in mind.

circleseverywhere Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 51 is the deployment limit. You can have more, but you can't field them all at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Light Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Is that so? I recall reading a topic about somebody who tried to recruit too many characters at once through hacking/cheat codes/something or other and ended up with the characters at the bottom of their overall roster getting entirely overwritten/dropped from memory or something. If the total recruited character limit isn't 51, as I've been led to believe, would you mind sharing what the actual number is, if you know it? I'm curious to know.

circleseverywhere Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Huh looks like it's different for each game. The deployment limit is 50/51?for each game but FE6 has 58 recruitable units, FE7 has a limit of 50, and FE8 has a limit of 62. http://feuniverse.us/t/question-related-to-of-units-recruitable-solved/712 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
