(First off, I apologize if video works aren't accepted here; this seems like the closest place to put videos I made being both a visual and audio media) Hey! I was a part of the Fire Emblem Facebook community back in the days, as in, pre-Awakening. I was a young teenager back then, and I'm 24 now. All those years ago, I made what are called "Gauntlet" videos- these were videos where you take a GBAFE unit all the way to level 20/20, and then run them through the arena until they die- the goal was to get as many kills as possible in a row without healing or buffs like the dancer rings. These were slightly popular back then, but I wasn't a big name by any means. I stopped doing them because of the prohibitive grinding required. Over the years, I've considered continuing the Gauntlets, but I never felt like putting in the work. However, starting at the end of February 2022, I started getting a massive uptick on views from one specific Gauntlet video, one of Jaffar. As of writing this now, it went from a respectable 300~ views to about 1.8k, with the extra 1.5k being in the last 28 days. This gave me the motivation to go ahead and give it another shot- but this was 2022. I'm not a child struggling with Nightmare modules anymore. I took the old patch a friend named Aura Wolf gave me, and updated it to have every unit at 20/20 with perfectly average stats. And I've been editing these videos all month! I'm releasing a video once a week on Wednesdays, but I've waited until I had a decent backlog of videos released before advertising this many places, including here. But the time has come! This is a link to the playlist containing every video that's public at the moment! And here is the first video:

In FE8, it's a little... interesting. Got to Ch. 1 before eventually giving up and deciding, no, this isn't the easiest of things. Eirika started as a Shaman. With practically no stats. This probably needs to be remidied the same way the FE7 lords were. Eirika also only starts with her Rapier and a Vulnerary, making this, predicatbly, a bit of an issue. Luckily, Seth started out as a Summoner (without the summon command, though), and had a Flux tome I managed to get past the bosses with. Ch. 1 arrives, and so do Gilliam and Franz. Franz is a pretty girl who just wants to let out the ballerina inside of him. He brought an Energy Ring, and more brokenly, a 19 use Angelic Robe. And could still, mind you, fight with Swords and Lances. Same thing happened next randomization when Seth became a dancer, sans the Angelic Robe. EDIT: Looked back and saw that support for FE8 isn't happening anymore. I guess just keep this in mind for version 2.0, or something. EDIT2: Playing FE7, now, and got Dorcas as a Soldier. Do those promote now, orrrr

Yeah, I applied, then randomized. I downloaded v0.73 and applied to fe7.gba, and the weapons thing went away. Haven't made it to Nils's chapter again yet. On a related note (related because I keep on discovering there's always some 3-10 broken weapon a couple chapters in and can't get to Nils), is it possible for the dump command to put the item and character names into the unitdata.txt and itemdata.txt so that I don't have to open Nightmare literally every time to preview the Iron weapons? If it is difficult, then by all means, I understand, but if its super easy on your side it could save me (and possible others?) work.

I played the randoitems FE8, and here's what I noticed: In the description, Moulder's Heal Staff says it has a range of 3-10, but only heals adjacent ranges. I don't have any pics, but I could go back and get them if required. EDIT: http://i.gyazo.com/87a0df69d411f8bfceb1c6d129276c80.png is the description, and http://i.gyazo.com/e9fe0d69c2df266385e46ecb9aa60a8e.png is the staff in usage. When FE8 class randomization is implemented, something will have to be done about Ross and Garcia; it's hard enough getting Ross alive amid a storm of balistae Iron Axes, but if you don't have a flier, gg. Colm's level might need to be edited for more door keys as well. Anarchy mode really is anarchy. EDIT: Also, Fix Patch 0.72 is very, very applied. Repeatedly. Erk and Serra also retained their past weapon ranks. DOUBLE EDIT: I'm starting to wonder why my Fix Patch isn't working; I musta applied it wrong.

What weapon was he wielding? At what range? The more details that are provided, the easier to fix, or so I expect.

Shamison, there's a .sav (it's called save.sav) that comes with the randomizer. Rename it to r_fe7.sav, place it in the same place as the r_fe7.gba (they have to have the same name), and go wild.

Sain always keeps his old weapon ranks; I've had sword Soldiers, Sword Pegasus Knights, Lance Sellswords, even magical classes. And, yeah, I reckon the event for the Erk vs Archer battle should be edited to guarantee no crits; when the Iron Bow has a 50% chance to crit, you'll probably end up with a dead Erk. Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to remove Cleric and the like from Lyn's possible classes; the lack of weapons they can wield can make the prologue impossible. (EDIT: I say this because, I poop you not, I got a staff-wielding class four times in a row.) Also, my Lyns and Florinas have always been the same class; at least, in LHM. Am I just that (un)lucky, or could there be something in the randomizer causing it?

I believe these pictures speak for themselves; if they don't, Nils lacks a Skill stat. The second picture is just there to show his Hit stat and the innate 95 hit on the Iron Axe. This seems like a bug to me, and this topic seems like the best place to put them.

Like I said, I hadn't made much note of the specific users at the time; I do remember that only fighters were freezing when using axes for me, and the Steel Axe at 3-10 range and the Iron Axe at either 1-2 or 2-3 range are a couple I do remember. Both me and my friend were playing on Eliwood Hard Mode, although we don't know if it happens on all modes. Another one of my friends isn't using the fix patch and says that the Fog of War is still on 13x, although he hasn't made it to 15. None of us had made it to 15 with the latest fix patch yet; I'm the only one who has applied the latest fix patch and I'm doing Lyn Mode for the levels I'll probably need if Fog of War is still there. I believe I was using the patch that came in the release folder; my memory's kind of foggy of war- *shot*.

I've had some freezes, although I hadn't thought to document the circumstances at the time. I've noticed that axes with changed ranges (such as a 1-2 Steel Axe) will sometimes freeze your battle animation, with the music still playing, or something to that effect, although I've had such an issue with slim swords at 2 range. Sorry that I couldn't be more concise or anything like that; like I said, I'll try to document more specific circumstances when I run into them. (All of the freezes have happened on the original Fix Patch; since installing the latest I haven't had those issues, although that might just be luck) Also, I've noticed that, while the Chapter 11-13 shops are engineered to offer the basic weapons and tomes, no parallel exists in Lyn mode; the earliest shop (in Chapter 3) only offers the standard Iron Sword and Iron Lance. (Note: Fix Patch 0.68) Finally, is the Fog of War being moved from Chapter 13x to Chapter 15 intentional? Fog of War at all is a major pain if an Iron weapon has been given 3-10 range, because they will happily gang up on one unit and pummel them to death. (Original Fix Patch, haven't made it that far again on the lastest Fix Patch version)

I'll record the A support for Gatrie soon, I promise. Isn't he from a special, Branded part of Begnion that's pretty isolated from the others, though? And as for Zelda Brawler's Ena,

Ah, thanks.

Does non-Sacaen nomad have a non-Sacaen promotion?

My point still stands; Stefan wouldn't have the same accent as anyone else, so personally, I think you should try out for him. Sorry for the delay on the A support, I've been working on a FE7 hack and also just got Minecraft, so I forgot to make time for recording for this. it will be on its way soon.
