Sorry but does anyone have problems with the game when playing with ez flash like me? When I start the game, it creates a slot to save Chapter 1.. but when I play many chapters later, and save them.. When I restart the game again, it's still chapter 1. I don't know What should I do but most people have the same problem as me but still don't have a solution...
I am 100% certain that if Chapter 29's original idea was implemented, someone would have found a way to survive infinitely. After some of the AW challenges nothing's off the table for them!
@@silverblade2871 that is because people were abusing the corridor on the map to cheese the map, but you can't really do that when the map is much more open, and most likely the enemy stats/weapons would be so high that tanking more then 2-3 hits would be impossible
@@abyssaldragon2442 I know, I know. I just think that anything is possible at this point. It's definitely possible with the luck goddess on your side, but I doubt Mangs would make an endless version of the map right now.
It wasn't just Chapter 12's Ending that needed a rework, we actually sat down and reworked a lot of things involving chapters 10-13 toward the last 8 months of development. Originally, when I joined the development team, Mortimer was supposed to fight alongside Baud against Randall, but I said that would spoil the reveal. So we removed him. But then later on, I realized it actually was a GOOD idea to have him there, so we re-added him. And then there was all the stuff involving his original speech in the prison... Mangs, you should release a video talking about those chapters before we did the big rework of them. I'm sure there's still a rom version with them somewhere!
@@Mangs1337 I think it's interesting to see what the story would have looked like if Mortimer wasn't present, because we (mainly me) were afraid of ruining the reveal of his evil. And don't forget him talking from behind a wall instead of brazenly waltzing right up to Jakka and the gang with his clone!
@@Klokinator it is cool and a bleak ending can work but I understand and agree the current one is better ,also believe me the cliff hanger is still very much there so many unswared questions(old continent true nature of the gods and demons,the existence of modern science being implied)
@@KlokinatorIf we had a guarantee of a 2nd game and a date for it (that was going to be pretty accurate at least) with the first game's release it would have gone well, but cliffhanger endings SUCK when there may be no followup.
Holy shit i remember watching the Grenadier anime at a grill party with my uncles. Actually was pretty fun despite being pretty cheesy. Some interesting things that come to mind: * I was actually the person who let Klok know that mangs was looking for a writer for Andaron Saga. I'm pretty sure this was before i even became acquainted with mangs myself or started beta testing for Andaron Saga. I still recall Klok asking me for my opinion on the proposed ending change, without giving away too many details. In retrospect this is kinda funny, because i don't think anyone fought as much over story/writing related things during the beta testing as me and Klok. Despite the many differences, we certainly couldn't have done it without him, and i've very glad i ended up telling him to get in contact all those, at this point, years ago. * I remember randomly stumbling across Theodor's old portrait in the game files while in VC with PH, and we both had a great laugh at "Fat Theo". It became a running gag of sorts for a while. * There were a lot of supports which ended up having to be scrapped last minute (and i mean like, a day or two before release), due to rom space limitations. It was a bit of a shame since everyone worked really hard on writing them before the release date hits. I recall liking the Berit/Samuel support so much gameplay wise, that i actually wrote it while on the trainride home from visiting Nohrianguy in Switzerland. It's a shame they had to be scrapped, but there wasn't really another choice. I really hope they'll make it into the rom rework PH will eventually do. * There was a good while where the generic Timaet Soldiers didn't have a proper portrait. So someone, and i don't even know who it was, made the barechested Mangs meme portrait the placeholder. Needless to say it caused quite a few laughs. * Natalie's personal skill used to be paragon, which funnily enough made her snowball so incredibly hard that she could be level 20 promoted by chapter 10 or so. It was only changed pretty late into development, in my opinion, for the better. * Andaron Saga didn't even have obtainable skills until like halfway through development, if not further back. You only had personal skills you started out with. I remember not being a fan of this change at first, but it actually ended up being implemented very well, and was an overall positive addition. The eternal seals weren't a thing either. I also very fondly remember sitting in voice calls together with the dev and beta testing team for hours on end, sometimes as long as 6AM in the morning, testing stuff, chilling, giving feedback, working on stuff. This project took a lot of hours of active work from many people, but it was also a fun ride, and a great learning experience. We managed to make an, in my opinion atleast, phenomenal FE Project, that feels like it could be a genuine full official game. So i wanna once more offer a huge round of respect and thanks for everyone involved. Anderson Sagar 2 when???
Only personal skills? I gotta say, Andaron Saga would not have been so fun to play without the skills. The skills and skill inheritance make the game what it is. Battle Veteran Fred, Chivalry Aisha, Tomebreaker Ralfnir, Hyperactive Vicki, Sprinter Estelle, Resolve Isabelle, Sturdy Berit, Good Hit Garam, Defiant Avoid Thea, Glacies Shay and Shom, Vengeance Shom and Victoria… But perhaps most importantly, Runa can collect the Chaos Emeralds! Morganis, Sure Shot, Anima Magic, Dark Magic, and even Quick Draw. In my current run, I killed off Shom during the prison escape map, so Runa could have more support-skill room. (And before he died, he gave Shay A support +5 Magic, so Shom was super helpful before being slain by Galachad)
Hi umm, i have a question, i want to start making hacks as a hobby, but i dont even know where to start with things like writing, códing drawing etc, do you hace any recomendations for someone who hasnt even finished high school?
My least favorite change I have to cry about whenever possible: - Sigrid used to be a very reliable choice for a 1v1 in chapter 18 as long as she had enough speed to not get doubled (the boss only got a brave weapon late in development) Some others that didn't feature in the video: - Chapter 16 and 23 both got major redesigns. While the map layout didn't change too much in Chapter 5, it used to be a lot more annoying in a number of way:, no convoy access, Zak only showed up in the no Dawncaller route, less vision, you had to visit all 3 stairwells, all with the same or even higher amount of enemies. - The final battle against Mortimer used to be a big RNG fest since he got more and more skills with each respawn, the final phase on Lunatic included resolve and foresight. - Estelle, Elmer and Emilia also could have been mentioned as late additions, they were added after Khepri/John/Madeline were already established.
Having made a small hack myself, I empathized a little TOO hard with Hailey's "this animation looks SICK, time to redesign everything so I can put it in."
I don’t think Tomb of Horrors is that bad. But then, I always used Dawncaller-Isabelle, which helps distract the boss until the rest of my crew finishes their business.
Man, I needed more Andaron Saga content. You and Klok gotta keep me going until Rebellion Saga comes out! (Even Nihil’s five-hour interview with Klok isn’t enough.)
While I agree with most of the changes. (Appart for maybe the chap.29 bad ending, but I Can see why the majority would hate that ending). I must Say the lack of Shadowlord, ingame transactions, cringy-op-self insert and, of course, 30 minute unskipable sex scene really lower down my rating of this rom tbh....
It's all Mangs' fault. I was pushing for an 8 hour unskippable ass-pounding gay sex scene with Baud and Jakka, but Mangs was all "that's too far" and "jesus christ what the fuck klok" so you know, we just have to suffer I guess.
In my eyes, Kephri should have been the dancer. Being Darius' wife and the original dancer being a rather bland and random character, I feel like it would have been fitting. With most of the other changes I think the game would've benefitted from some more development time (Aylanda's death, Jakka's development, Caroline's character...), but I feel like that's just a default thing to say. Even if you took more development time, new problems and changes would've arised that lead to the same critique of "needed more development time", so I guess it's understandable to just call it a day at some point.
WE needed more Caroline!!!! i loved in this explanation it was planned but i think it would have transpired alot more feelings and empathy i would have loved how the story unfolded!! maybe in the next hack we will get more?!? :)
I still haven't completed the game. Can't beat Against All Odds without losing units, and it's been half a year. Almost wanna start a whole new run where I don't miss out on Helga's Galeforce. Drives me nuts.
@@Mangs1337 Each time booba go bounce, I witness the creation of philosophy. Very smart show, that one xD (I'll be unironic for a second, I genuinely haven't thought about grenadier for at least 15 years)
Dang This Is Cool To Know And Chapter 7 Seems Like A Nightmare Also At 10:30 If Ya Don't Mind Who Is Jakkas Canonical Love Interest Now Or Canon Pairing I Just Wanna Know Cause I Am Curious(Sorry If This Has Been Asked Before)
I for one think that you should make the "impossible" map into a separate stage by itself and see how other people attempt to stall it out infinitely And while you're at it the chapter 7 one too
Interesting ! I like Haily's development, and I the Brianna change is kinda like Ishtar ? After all the hack is a lot inspired by fe4... But don't worry, Morty is still unsympathetic and still going on a pike at endgame :clueless:
Thank god for the team, all of the changes sounded extremely integral to the quality of the game. Just goes to show that drafts and changes, even big ones, can be incredibly important before declaring something finished. The most important changes in the video are definitely the ending, Mortimer, Aylanda, Brianna, Jesse and Nat because those things are some of the best aspects in the game as we received it. And want to stress that in this day and age an ending where 'everyone dies' feels cliche, lazy, and perhaps even a bit cringe.. the ending and narrative that we ended up getting is incredible, one of the best I seen in any strategy game.
Tbh I kinda prefer the original Mortimer. The endgame reveal kinda just threw me off. I liked the idea of the guy everyone was soft on and never suspected, later abusing everyone's guard being down and usurping power for himself, with that being his main goal.
Despite the things many people say about this hack and how the humor and dialogue often leave a lot to be desired it is still a great game. It can be enjoyable on every difficulty and the characters are almost all likable and there can be valid arguments to call any single of of them your favorite. Obviously there are a few things that could have been done better and Mangs just mentioned a couple in this video but at the end of the day this is a fan project. And it is a damn good one. But fuck that stupid tomb on lunatic.
Gotta say, my favorite changes are what you did to Mortimer and Brianna. The Mortimer change ive heard on other comment section from Klok and other people, the Brianna change i only found out now. Gotta say tho, quite the number of people actually said old Mort was leagues better, which made me scratch my head. In my opinion, the change made Mort from a one-note trope character that you can see from a mile away what the character does, will do, and their evilness, into a way more intricate and involved character that he is now, and that applies to Brianna. Can imagine me lowering my score for this game a hefty amount if those characters stayed the way they were. Also Jesse And Natalie were kino changes too. Their eyes widening when they meet Alvaro in the dungeon was definitely deservingly subversive.
I really like the idea of the original ending. Gives me some genealogy vibes. You should patch it in to where if you lose, you get that ending, and the new ending is more of a what if scenario.
@@tomasziskierka9557 They capped on the rom space one time lmao. But they were able to patch in some more after literally recreating the current data. Its as if patching created more unnecessary space
Believe it or not, Jesse was not a Breaking Bad reference. Our lead writer Klok had not watched Breaking Bad when he came up with the concept of Jesse (he has watched it later though), so any references made are completely accidental.
@@mcesnik438 The only things I knew about BB came from cultural osmosis, ie; memes. So I did insert a couple BB memes in there, like the "Jesse what the hell are you talking about?" line, but otherwise it wasn't deliberate. I just wanted a funny dudebro who did drugs.
I think you did a sensible and good pivot in all of these instances, it's quite nice to see that you were open to changing major aspects of the game to serve the narrative. Aylanda's speech towards Mortimer did feel significant but also surprising given that she was gone for a long time in the player's conscience by that point, I can definitely see the difficulty in fitting it in organically, I imagine it would be tough to defer that to another character given the chaotic nature of character deaths on top of it too. I'm glad you revised difficult chapters such as Chapter 7, it's easy for a romhack team to cater to a more hardcore basis given that they know FF more deeply, so I appreciate the balanced approach in giving a good challenge while trying to retain the idea that most people, even new, who pay attention can reasonably play through it too.
Chapter 29 for me is by far the most terrifying. Everytime I play that chapter I am very very VERY careful so that I could not lose a unit, even though I have beaten it numerous times now, it still makes me scared (I think Hard mode chapter 29 gave me PTSD). Also changing that chapter is a good call too as me as a player agreed with your team Mangs, the ending feels hollow, glad you also included a different cliffhanger that is chapter 31x.
Also the beta portraits😂😂😂 Baudimon looks like Geitz Mortimer has a longer, more flowy hair Jakka has a small head Lilinette has more bangs Aylanda looks younger And Theodor also looks younger. I can't! 😂😂😂
Interesting... I think most, if not probably all, of these changes were for the best. Thanks for the video Mangs, its fascinating to get a more behind-the-scenes look at this game, I hope you release more of these kinds of videos. This was great. It seems the game would have been a lot more heavyhanded and brutal in the original version. However, this video also help explain most of my (few) criticisms of the game, as nearly all of them were apparently changed from something else to begin with and weren't the original vision, so it would've taken a lot more effort to make them actually properly fleshed out and fit into the narrative that was originally made for the game, they were more (good) grafted branches unto the original tree, but still grafted branches. Aylanda's role being significantly diminished... I can see how that came at the end of the game. I wonder if time and space constraints prevented things further from developing on that end, or if it was just too much already. It was frustrating to see her condition deteriorate, and yet Jakka almost seeming to ignore it. Mortimer's goals and disposition felt somewhat confusing to me at the end, but this explains partially why that's the case (though I think I vastly prefer that to the more simple character he was originally supposed to be, it was a good decision to change). I felt almost everything "resolved" itself too conveniently and quickly in chapter 29, and it turns out that at least part of that can be attributed towards it being originally intended as the ending chapter. I did not expect chapter 29 to be inspired by Into Utter Darkness, that's fascinating. Honestly the Protoss missions of SC2: WoL was one of the highlights of the game imo (and that game had a lot of great missions), very interesting. While I think the ending change decision was probably for the best, its also a *very* interesting choice for the original story ending that you had in mind. I think that one was probably the most "subjective" of these changes, in that I think the original plan theoretically could've worked very well if handled properly in 2, but like they said, that causes a lot of issues and the lack of feeling of reward could've been brutal on the players and left a bad taste in the mouth. Ironically though that would have made it somewhat similar to FE4 in yet another way though lol. I've rarely seen a game truly end on a cliffhanger and finish properly in a sequel like that. However, one of the best games (really it was a trilogy/set of 2 games + 1 finale) I've ever played did end up doing something... not exactly the same, but it did end the first game on a *major* cliffhanger. I can't help but wonder what Andaron Saga 2 might've looked like as a result if you had gone through with that. I think the change was correct in the end, but I can't help but wonder what could've been, or maybe a different way for it to work instead of the all or nothing approach. The original sounded pretty extreme. I will say... I still disagree with what happened with Helga at the end, I didn't see that fully addressed in the video but it was frustrating that Jakka basically ignored/broke his promise to at least 2, maybe 3 (if Baudimon is included) important people to him and the story, especially if you took the romance route with him and her like I did. I think Jesse's change... was probably for the worse if I'm being honest (just might be my opinion), but its hard to say, maybe its hard not to see him as a meme because lol breaking bad reference drug addict. Having him be someone sketchy, serious, and more concerning to the group, especially someone who joined at one of the most tenuous parts of the game would've been interesting, at least based on the description in this video. Hailey's change was probably for the worse too, lol, though I agree that the marksman animations were *sick* and were a good choice to be used, but I think I'd have preferred that personality you originally had in mind for her instead and kept the marksman animations. The portrait... hard to say which was better if I'm being honest. The chapter 12 change was for the best, it sounds like a large oversight in the original version. Chapter 7 was already brutal on release lol, thanks for having it changed lol. The 4 characters being added late, I'm not *too* surprised about at all lol. Jakka's change was good imo, *especially* considering how dark the game could've been originally. Even as is, the game is plenty dark. He's a very likable protagonist and the humor helps take some of the edge off all the darkness and death in this game. I thought it had plenty of tragedy already without Jakka being humorless lol, but I digress. I have no real opinion on Caroline tbh, but what I saw in the game with regards to their romance and backstory didn't particularly impress me, but that's my opinion. Overall, I'm glad for most of these changes. Its a good thing that Andaron Saga went through such a rigorous screening and development in terms of helping the final product be great.
its a great game. the only thing that lowers and it stops me and my friends from replaying it is the op bosses and enemies that force u to play at a certain pace (super fast anti turtle that just scream "fan game"). it needed some serious balancing.
Happy they had so much thought on Hailey's character and appearance, she's one of my favorite character just by how cool she looks and how much she helps in the hell that is her debut character
Really insightful video Mangs, thanks for making it and giving us a look at how things were behind the scenes. Personally as a fellow Starcraft fan I would have loved to see the OG ending play out. Maybe I'm a sucker for Bad Endings in games, but I for sure felt chapter 29 was supposed to be the end and was honestly expecting it to be impossible. Really looking forward to Rebellion Saga!
Me wanting to see Chapter 29 become another Defense Challenge similar to Last Hope. But for this one, every chara is maxed out, and maybe a good convoy and store option too.
As grimdark as that original ending was for chapter 29, i kno I would be genuinely curious had that been kept. It was definitely a smart move to change into a tough defense map. If you ever think about using that idea again, where only a handful of heroes flee to fight another day while the majority give their lives to a loosing battle, then I say go for it. Even if it feels depressing, sometimes those types of stories can work and make you grateful for the time you had. Subjective sure, but I don't know any other romhack that has to balls to kill of most of the cast.
The one thing i would change is you and your team working on a sequel rather than a prequel 😂. I want to know about amon and mortys child. Even tho seeing young sam is cool i already know he ends up betraying baud so watching them fight together isnt all that appealing to me. I trust you guys know what youre doing tho and its gonna be fun regardless
So, I couldn’t figure out how to get this on my ios. The myboy wouldn’t download and I couldn’t find the game in your discord. I’m a fossil, I know. Still, if you could somehow sell this, I would be more than happy to shell out up to $30 bucks for this. I’m loving the story, but really want to experience it for myself. Thanks for all the help regardless.
Just finished this amazing of a rom hack, Thanks Mangs and all developers that were included in the production of Andaron Saga. When can we expect the sequel of Andaron Saga?
As a writer by hobby myself, your comments on the knock-on effects of small writing changes in a story really resonated with me. It's easy to look at writing on the outside and criticize it, only to realize just how easy those traps are to fall into. That doesn't make them any less worthy of criticism, but it definitely provides some perspective. If you're curious, feel free to click the read more in my comment where I've pointed out another example of one such small shift and its consequences that we see in the current build of Andaron Saga. Beware of spoilers of course! Jesse & Natalie's relation to House Flameguard actually messes with Dawncaller, which is a weapon supposedly able to be wielded by the royal family of Andaron, as well as House Lightbringer. Jesse and Natalie run into a gameplay-story integration issue along with Isabelle, as for the majority of the game's story House Flameguard is the ruling house of Andaron, and yet Isabelle of House Steel can use Dawncaller, but not Jesse or Natalie. The story establishes this rule on Dawncaller's usage in a conversation with Samuel in Chapter 2x, but fails to be consistent with it. The solution to this conundrum is to give the player two separate Dawncaller items over the course of the game. One as a weapon locked to the Lightbringers and members of House Steel, which is taken from the player after chapter 12's events as per usual. While Dawn joins with a Dawncaller that is linked the lightbringers and members of House Flameguard, which the player can then use for the rest of the game. For all intents and purposes the player wouldn't know they got a different sword in chapter 14, just that who can use it has changed.
You get Jesse in chapter 13, if you send your units south with the first prison block and talk to him with Jakka, Colter or Natalie. Also Spoilers: After being recruited, let Jesse stay in his cell for a turn and he'll get a secret event which will give him the Lucky Knife.
well Rebellion Saga, afaik will feature a team separate from Baudimon's team and a potential future game that takes place when AS ends would be when Jakka is like 40. So maybe AS 2?? But i feel like that game probably will have a different Protaganist.
Very interesting video. As someone who never played the andaron saga beta, how was the original scalies above? From the video I get it was way too brutal, but was it at least brutal in a fun way? Or was it brutal as well as unfun? Also, no joke, I would've loved if you kept the original idea of chapter 29, but maybe with a twist where you can actually decide if you want to leave with the kids or just put all one's eggs (haha funny) in one basket and fight your way through a brutal rest of chapter 29 and beat mortimer right then and there.
It would have been interesting to see an ending where everyone dies in the last battle. I mean, we already lost a highly charismatic main character. What gives a few more deaths? lol I think a "What if" romhack would be kind of cool, where we get to play the original version of that mission, and get to see a glimpse of how the story would have developed in the potential sequel. Like a 3-4 chapters hack.
Lillinette’s beta portrait looks like something from the 80s 😂 I imagine a scene where the characters break the fourth wall - pointing out how Lillinette used to look. Mortimer’s beta picture screams, “Evil!” Caroline helping Jakka get over Baudimon’s loss would have been a boon to the story, but I understand that Andaron Saga had too much going on already. Who knows? Maybe Klok can include more Caroline material in New Dawn, at least in the Gaiden chapters. Caroline was one of the best-designed units in AS. When I saw Caroline’s portrait in Rebellion Saga, I felt so emotional because I love her so much lol I’m glad Chapter 7 was nerfed. Killing Leonora and her death squad is difficult enough, even on Normal. (On Normal, my blasted Berit almost died against Leonora’s army.) As for the original ending, I think most people would only like it if there was a sequel in the works. Something so dreadful only feels fulfilling if there’s a new generation, preferably children of the fallen who inherit their parents’ skills and weapons. Without a sequel, killing off most of Jakka and company would have felt hollow. So yeah, good change!
I dont know if it was just my luck or what, but i didn't find chapter 7 ( the one in the final game )all that difficult, actually I remember starting it and thinking it was gonna be hell with all those enemies, but i think i got a really good enemy phase turn that cleared a ton of the map When i finished it, i even thought "it was just that?" and regreted not trying to fight Eleonora ( i think thats her name )
Knowing that info about Jakka and Caroline is so upsetting cause I always found Jakka to be a boring protagonist and Caroline would have helped so much in that regard
I don't know much about Fire Emblem ROMhacks, but the ones I've seen on RUclips strike me as games that I would play once or twice at most. The fact that you took the time to go through several drafts is proof of your dedication to the project...and why I'm almost done with my 7th playthrough.
I haven't played Andaron Saga yet, it was probably an awful idea to watch this video because of spoilers but oh well lol I still plan to play the game at some point
Chapter 7 is seen as one of the hardest chapters In the game really surprised me because it was one of the only chapters I finished first try. Chapter 17 is a bitch though.
Do you agree or disagree with some of these changes?

It wasn't just Chapter 12's Ending that needed a rework, we actually sat down and reworked a lot of things involving chapters 10-13 toward the last 8 months of development.
Originally, when I joined the development team, Mortimer was supposed to fight alongside Baud against Randall, but I said that would spoil the reveal. So we removed him.
But then later on, I realized it actually was a GOOD idea to have him there, so we re-added him.
And then there was all the stuff involving his original speech in the prison...

Holy shit i remember watching the Grenadier anime at a grill party with my uncles. Actually was pretty fun despite being pretty cheesy.
Some interesting things that come to mind:
* I was actually the person who let Klok know that mangs was looking for a writer for Andaron Saga. I'm pretty sure this was before i even became acquainted with mangs myself or started beta testing for Andaron Saga. I still recall Klok asking me for my opinion on the proposed ending change, without giving away too many details. In retrospect this is kinda funny, because i don't think anyone fought as much over story/writing related things during the beta testing as me and Klok. Despite the many differences, we certainly couldn't have done it without him, and i've very glad i ended up telling him to get in contact all those, at this point, years ago.
* I remember randomly stumbling across Theodor's old portrait in the game files while in VC with PH, and we both had a great laugh at "Fat Theo". It became a running gag of sorts for a while.
* There were a lot of supports which ended up having to be scrapped last minute (and i mean like, a day or two before release), due to rom space limitations. It was a bit of a shame since everyone worked really hard on writing them before the release date hits. I recall liking the Berit/Samuel support so much gameplay wise, that i actually wrote it while on the trainride home from visiting Nohrianguy in Switzerland. It's a shame they had to be scrapped, but there wasn't really another choice. I really hope they'll make it into the rom rework PH will eventually do.
* There was a good while where the generic Timaet Soldiers didn't have a proper portrait. So someone, and i don't even know who it was, made the barechested Mangs meme portrait the placeholder. Needless to say it caused quite a few laughs.
* Natalie's personal skill used to be paragon, which funnily enough made her snowball so incredibly hard that she could be level 20 promoted by chapter 10 or so. It was only changed pretty late into development, in my opinion, for the better.
* Andaron Saga didn't even have obtainable skills until like halfway through development, if not further back. You only had personal skills you started out with. I remember not being a fan of this change at first, but it actually ended up being implemented very well, and was an overall positive addition. The eternal seals weren't a thing either.
I also very fondly remember sitting in voice calls together with the dev and beta testing team for hours on end, sometimes as long as 6AM in the morning, testing stuff, chilling, giving feedback, working on stuff. This project took a lot of hours of active work from many people, but it was also a fun ride, and a great learning experience. We managed to make an, in my opinion atleast, phenomenal FE Project, that feels like it could be a genuine full official game. So i wanna once more offer a huge round of respect and thanks for everyone involved.
Anderson Sagar 2 when???
Only personal skills? I gotta say, Andaron Saga would not have been so fun to play without the skills. The skills and skill inheritance make the game what it is.
Battle Veteran Fred,
Chivalry Aisha,
Tomebreaker Ralfnir,
Hyperactive Vicki,
Sprinter Estelle,
Resolve Isabelle,
Sturdy Berit,
Good Hit Garam,
Defiant Avoid Thea,
Glacies Shay and Shom,
Vengeance Shom and Victoria…
But perhaps most importantly, Runa can collect the Chaos Emeralds! Morganis, Sure Shot, Anima Magic, Dark Magic, and even Quick Draw.
In my current run, I killed off Shom during the prison escape map, so Runa could have more support-skill room. (And before he died, he gave Shay A support +5 Magic, so Shom was super helpful before being slain by Galachad)
Hi umm, i have a question, i want to start making hacks as a hobby, but i dont even know where to start with things like writing, códing drawing etc, do you hace any recomendations for someone who hasnt even finished high school?
Its just that, there is soo much to do, and i dont even know the basics nor i know someone that could make things easier
@@cosmiccheese4140 You should probably look up Mangs’ video, “Making Fire Emblem Romhacks: The Basics”
That would be a starting point.
My least favorite change I have to cry about whenever possible:
- Sigrid used to be a very reliable choice for a 1v1 in chapter 18 as long as she had enough speed to not get doubled (the boss only got a brave weapon late in development)
Some others that didn't feature in the video:
- Chapter 16 and 23 both got major redesigns. While the map layout didn't change too much in Chapter 5, it used to be a lot more annoying in a number of way:, no convoy access, Zak only showed up in the no Dawncaller route, less vision, you had to visit all 3 stairwells, all with the same or even higher amount of enemies.
- The final battle against Mortimer used to be a big RNG fest since he got more and more skills with each respawn, the final phase on Lunatic included resolve and foresight.
- Estelle, Elmer and Emilia also could have been mentioned as late additions, they were added after Khepri/John/Madeline were already established.
Having made a small hack myself, I empathized a little TOO hard with Hailey's "this animation looks SICK, time to redesign everything so I can put it in."
Why is beta baudimon looking at the fourth wall, who's he looking at, the scrapped fe7 tactician?
Dude, just remove Tomb of Horrors from the game and Andaron Saga will become the best FE hack EVER, literally
Make Tomb of Horrors even worse. Got it.
I don’t think Tomb of Horrors is that bad. But then, I always used Dawncaller-Isabelle, which helps distract the boss until the rest of my crew finishes their business.
Man, I needed more Andaron Saga content. You and Klok gotta keep me going until Rebellion Saga comes out!
(Even Nihil’s five-hour interview with Klok isn’t enough.)
While I agree with most of the changes. (Appart for maybe the chap.29 bad ending, but I Can see why the majority would hate that ending).
I must Say the lack of Shadowlord, ingame transactions, cringy-op-self insert and, of course, 30 minute unskipable sex scene really lower down my rating of this rom tbh....
It's all Mangs' fault. I was pushing for an 8 hour unskippable ass-pounding gay sex scene with Baud and Jakka, but Mangs was all "that's too far" and "jesus christ what the fuck klok" so you know, we just have to suffer I guess.
That chapter 29 ending would've been a mistake, but at the same time it would've been so cool.
In my eyes, Kephri should have been the dancer. Being Darius' wife and the original dancer being a rather bland and random character, I feel like it would have been fitting.
With most of the other changes I think the game would've benefitted from some more development time (Aylanda's death, Jakka's development, Caroline's character...), but I feel like that's just a default thing to say. Even if you took more development time, new problems and changes would've arised that lead to the same critique of "needed more development time", so I guess it's understandable to just call it a day at some point.
Should have kept the original title screen...just kidding but it was a good laugh
PH's sense of game design really is just built different.
Chapter 7 would have ended me lol
Man Baudimon (and jakka)’s portrait was so cursed.
Real
The worst change was removing the baudimon jakka gay sex scene
Is there a version of the rom with this still available? Asking for a friend of course
Ugh, Klocky is such a Klockblocker
The solution to the aylanda thing: make her force deployed and have her be a game over and get captured in her death quote.
The idea of setting Andaron Saga 2 after chapter 29 sounded interesting even if it doesn’t seem like a good ending for the game itself.
WE needed more Caroline!!!! i loved in this explanation it was planned but i think it would have transpired alot more feelings and empathy i would have loved how the story unfolded!! maybe in the next hack we will get more?!? :)
Was Baudimon modeled after the Giga chad meme face? Because that's what he makes me think of every time
I still haven't completed the game. Can't beat Against All Odds without losing units, and it's been half a year. Almost wanna start a whole new run where I don't miss out on Helga's Galeforce. Drives me nuts.
I remember seeing that Jakka portrait but how the hell did I miss beta Mortimer? Bro doesn't even have ears.
My biggest point of contention here is that take on Grenadier. Wonderful show for wonderful people.
I enjoyed it, even re-watched it a few years ago, it's still charming, but it is an incredibly dumb show.
@@Mangs1337 Each time booba go bounce, I witness the creation of philosophy. Very smart show, that one xD (I'll be unironic for a second, I genuinely haven't thought about grenadier for at least 15 years)
Dang This Is Cool To Know And Chapter 7 Seems Like A Nightmare Also At 10:30 If Ya Don't Mind Who Is Jakkas Canonical Love Interest Now Or Canon Pairing I Just Wanna Know Cause I Am Curious(Sorry If This Has Been Asked Before)
That fact that ch.7 was originally much harder is pretty wild 😅
I for one think that you should make the "impossible" map into a separate stage by itself and see how other people attempt to stall it out infinitely
And while you're at it the chapter 7 one too
Old Theodor isnt real,he cant hurt u
Old Theodor:
Jesus christ he looked like a psycho
he looked like he had a mental disorder (no offense to any people with mental disorders)
Interesting ! I like Haily's development, and I the Brianna change is kinda like Ishtar ? After all the hack is a lot inspired by fe4...
But don't worry, Morty is still unsympathetic and still going on a pike at endgame :clueless:
Thank god for the team, all of the changes sounded extremely integral to the quality of the game. Just goes to show that drafts and changes, even big ones, can be incredibly important before declaring something finished. The most important changes in the video are definitely the ending, Mortimer, Aylanda, Brianna, Jesse and Nat because those things are some of the best aspects in the game as we received it. And want to stress that in this day and age an ending where 'everyone dies' feels cliche, lazy, and perhaps even a bit cringe.. the ending and narrative that we ended up getting is incredible, one of the best I seen in any strategy game.
Tbh I kinda prefer the original Mortimer. The endgame reveal kinda just threw me off. I liked the idea of the guy everyone was soft on and never suspected, later abusing everyone's guard being down and usurping power for himself, with that being his main goal.
Yoooo beta content let's gooo
Mangs, are we gonna get your wedding GBA style just like Baudimon and Alayna's if possible? 🐲🙏
A playable femal centaur class definitly lacked in the game, the concept was very cool
I don't know if you mentioned it, but Jaheira was also less lizard like in her beta portrait.
Despite the things many people say about this hack and how the humor and dialogue often leave a lot to be desired it is still a great game. It can be enjoyable on every difficulty and the characters are almost all likable and there can be valid arguments to call any single of of them your favorite.
Obviously there are a few things that could have been done better and Mangs just mentioned a couple in this video but at the end of the day this is a fan project. And it is a damn good one.
But fuck that stupid tomb on lunatic.
Gotta say, my favorite changes are what you did to Mortimer and Brianna. The Mortimer change ive heard on other comment section from Klok and other people, the Brianna change i only found out now. Gotta say tho, quite the number of people actually said old Mort was leagues better, which made me scratch my head. In my opinion, the change made Mort from a one-note trope character that you can see from a mile away what the character does, will do, and their evilness, into a way more intricate and involved character that he is now, and that applies to Brianna. Can imagine me lowering my score for this game a hefty amount if those characters stayed the way they were. Also Jesse And Natalie were kino changes too. Their eyes widening when they meet Alvaro in the dungeon was definitely deservingly subversive.
Does the 30% strenght growth Thea count as removed content?
I really like the idea of the original ending.
Gives me some genealogy vibes.
You should patch it in to where if you lose, you get that ending, and the new ending is more of a what if scenario.
Cool idea but from what i remember there is no more space in the rom.
@@tomasziskierka9557 They capped on the rom space one time lmao. But they were able to patch in some more after literally recreating the current data. Its as if patching created more unnecessary space
Old Jesse seems to be a better character than the new one who is just a refference to Breaking Bad.
Believe it or not, Jesse was not a Breaking Bad reference. Our lead writer Klok had not watched Breaking Bad when he came up with the concept of Jesse (he has watched it later though), so any references made are completely accidental.
@@Mangs1337 That is some coincidence then. The drugs and name seemed to be dead give away. The more you know.
@@mcesnik438 The only things I knew about BB came from cultural osmosis, ie; memes. So I did insert a couple BB memes in there, like the "Jesse what the hell are you talking about?" line, but otherwise it wasn't deliberate. I just wanted a funny dudebro who did drugs.
I think you did a sensible and good pivot in all of these instances, it's quite nice to see that you were open to changing major aspects of the game to serve the narrative. Aylanda's speech towards Mortimer did feel significant but also surprising given that she was gone for a long time in the player's conscience by that point, I can definitely see the difficulty in fitting it in organically, I imagine it would be tough to defer that to another character given the chaotic nature of character deaths on top of it too. I'm glad you revised difficult chapters such as Chapter 7, it's easy for a romhack team to cater to a more hardcore basis given that they know FF more deeply, so I appreciate the balanced approach in giving a good challenge while trying to retain the idea that most people, even new, who pay attention can reasonably play through it too.
Chapter 29 for me is by far the most terrifying. Everytime I play that chapter I am very very VERY careful so that I could not lose a unit, even though I have beaten it numerous times now, it still makes me scared (I think Hard mode chapter 29 gave me PTSD).
Also changing that chapter is a good call too as me as a player agreed with your team Mangs, the ending feels hollow, glad you also included a different cliffhanger that is chapter 31x.
Also the beta portraits😂😂😂
Baudimon looks like Geitz
Mortimer has a longer, more flowy hair
Jakka has a small head
Lilinette has more bangs
Aylanda looks younger
And Theodor also looks younger.
I can't! 😂😂😂
Interesting... I think most, if not probably all, of these changes were for the best. Thanks for the video Mangs, its fascinating to get a more behind-the-scenes look at this game, I hope you release more of these kinds of videos. This was great.
It seems the game would have been a lot more heavyhanded and brutal in the original version.
However, this video also help explain most of my (few) criticisms of the game, as nearly all of them were apparently changed from something else to begin with and weren't the original vision, so it would've taken a lot more effort to make them actually properly fleshed out and fit into the narrative that was originally made for the game, they were more (good) grafted branches unto the original tree, but still grafted branches.
Aylanda's role being significantly diminished... I can see how that came at the end of the game. I wonder if time and space constraints prevented things further from developing on that end, or if it was just too much already. It was frustrating to see her condition deteriorate, and yet Jakka almost seeming to ignore it.
Mortimer's goals and disposition felt somewhat confusing to me at the end, but this explains partially why that's the case (though I think I vastly prefer that to the more simple character he was originally supposed to be, it was a good decision to change).
I felt almost everything "resolved" itself too conveniently and quickly in chapter 29, and it turns out that at least part of that can be attributed towards it being originally intended as the ending chapter.
I did not expect chapter 29 to be inspired by Into Utter Darkness, that's fascinating. Honestly the Protoss missions of SC2: WoL was one of the highlights of the game imo (and that game had a lot of great missions), very interesting.
While I think the ending change decision was probably for the best, its also a *very* interesting choice for the original story ending that you had in mind. I think that one was probably the most "subjective" of these changes, in that I think the original plan theoretically could've worked very well if handled properly in 2, but like they said, that causes a lot of issues and the lack of feeling of reward could've been brutal on the players and left a bad taste in the mouth. Ironically though that would have made it somewhat similar to FE4 in yet another way though lol.
I've rarely seen a game truly end on a cliffhanger and finish properly in a sequel like that. However, one of the best games (really it was a trilogy/set of 2 games + 1 finale) I've ever played did end up doing something... not exactly the same, but it did end the first game on a *major* cliffhanger. I can't help but wonder what Andaron Saga 2 might've looked like as a result if you had gone through with that. I think the change was correct in the end, but I can't help but wonder what could've been, or maybe a different way for it to work instead of the all or nothing approach. The original sounded pretty extreme.
I will say... I still disagree with what happened with Helga at the end, I didn't see that fully addressed in the video but it was frustrating that Jakka basically ignored/broke his promise to at least 2, maybe 3 (if Baudimon is included) important people to him and the story, especially if you took the romance route with him and her like I did.
I think Jesse's change... was probably for the worse if I'm being honest (just might be my opinion), but its hard to say, maybe its hard not to see him as a meme because lol breaking bad reference drug addict. Having him be someone sketchy, serious, and more concerning to the group, especially someone who joined at one of the most tenuous parts of the game would've been interesting, at least based on the description in this video.
Hailey's change was probably for the worse too, lol, though I agree that the marksman animations were *sick* and were a good choice to be used, but I think I'd have preferred that personality you originally had in mind for her instead and kept the marksman animations. The portrait... hard to say which was better if I'm being honest.
The chapter 12 change was for the best, it sounds like a large oversight in the original version.
Chapter 7 was already brutal on release lol, thanks for having it changed lol.
The 4 characters being added late, I'm not *too* surprised about at all lol.
Jakka's change was good imo, *especially* considering how dark the game could've been originally. Even as is, the game is plenty dark. He's a very likable protagonist and the humor helps take some of the edge off all the darkness and death in this game. I thought it had plenty of tragedy already without Jakka being humorless lol, but I digress. I have no real opinion on Caroline tbh, but what I saw in the game with regards to their romance and backstory didn't particularly impress me, but that's my opinion.
Overall, I'm glad for most of these changes. Its a good thing that Andaron Saga went through such a rigorous screening and development in terms of helping the final product be great.
its a great game. the only thing that lowers and it stops me and my friends from replaying it is the op bosses and enemies that force u to play at a certain pace (super fast anti turtle that just scream "fan game"). it needed some serious balancing.
Happy they had so much thought on Hailey's character and appearance, she's one of my favorite character just by how cool she looks and how much she helps in the hell that is her debut character
Really insightful video Mangs, thanks for making it and giving us a look at how things were behind the scenes.
Personally as a fellow Starcraft fan I would have loved to see the OG ending play out. Maybe I'm a sucker for Bad Endings in games, but I for sure felt chapter 29 was supposed to be the end and was honestly expecting it to be impossible. Really looking forward to Rebellion Saga!
Thank you so much!
Me wanting to see Chapter 29 become another Defense Challenge similar to Last Hope. But for this one, every chara is maxed out, and maybe a good convoy and store option too.
Me: Is that a new Final Rom update?
Friend: No, just a log with the changes during development in Baudimon Andaron Saga.
Wait if Caroline was originally supposed to be Jakka’s canonical love interest, who is it currently?
No one I suppose, Victoria would come the closest. Now he doesn't really have a cannon love interest.
There is no canon love interest. You can chose now.
Then i shall believe Jaheria is the correct answer. Never ask a human supremacist the race of his GF@@Mangs1337
@@Mangs1337 Victoriasweep finally confirmed, i kneel 🧎
JUSTICE FOR BETA JAKKA
Nah, Caroline doesnt deserve Jakka.
Like someone else mentioned, maybe making original Ch7 into an Impossible Challenge video would be really fun.
As grimdark as that original ending was for chapter 29, i kno I would be genuinely curious had that been kept. It was definitely a smart move to change into a tough defense map. If you ever think about using that idea again, where only a handful of heroes flee to fight another day while the majority give their lives to a loosing battle, then I say go for it. Even if it feels depressing, sometimes those types of stories can work and make you grateful for the time you had. Subjective sure, but I don't know any other romhack that has to balls to kill of most of the cast.
I cheated on this game and bad all the weapons skills and promotions i cheesed it
Yes BTS content
The one thing i would change is you and your team working on a sequel rather than a prequel 😂.
I want to know about amon and mortys child. Even tho seeing young sam is cool i already know he ends up betraying baud so watching them fight together isnt all that appealing to me. I trust you guys know what youre doing tho and its gonna be fun regardless
You and your team made by far the best hack out there. Absolutely incredible, huge respect.
So, I couldn’t figure out how to get this on my ios.
The myboy wouldn’t download and I couldn’t find the game in your discord. I’m a fossil, I know.
Still, if you could somehow sell this, I would be more than happy to shell out up to $30 bucks for this.
I’m loving the story, but really want to experience it for myself.
Thanks for all the help regardless.
ORDER BE BRAVE
YES YES I'M COMING
Just finished this amazing of a rom hack, Thanks Mangs and all developers that were included in the production of Andaron Saga. When can we expect the sequel of Andaron Saga?
As a writer by hobby myself, your comments on the knock-on effects of small writing changes in a story really resonated with me. It's easy to look at writing on the outside and criticize it, only to realize just how easy those traps are to fall into. That doesn't make them any less worthy of criticism, but it definitely provides some perspective. If you're curious, feel free to click the read more in my comment where I've pointed out another example of one such small shift and its consequences that we see in the current build of Andaron Saga. Beware of spoilers of course!
Jesse & Natalie's relation to House Flameguard actually messes with Dawncaller, which is a weapon supposedly able to be wielded by the royal family of Andaron, as well as House Lightbringer. Jesse and Natalie run into a gameplay-story integration issue along with Isabelle, as for the majority of the game's story House Flameguard is the ruling house of Andaron, and yet Isabelle of House Steel can use Dawncaller, but not Jesse or Natalie. The story establishes this rule on Dawncaller's usage in a conversation with Samuel in Chapter 2x, but fails to be consistent with it.
The solution to this conundrum is to give the player two separate Dawncaller items over the course of the game. One as a weapon locked to the Lightbringers and members of House Steel, which is taken from the player after chapter 12's events as per usual. While Dawn joins with a Dawncaller that is linked the lightbringers and members of House Flameguard, which the player can then use for the rest of the game. For all intents and purposes the player wouldn't know they got a different sword in chapter 14, just that who can use it has changed.
I thought that Jaheira/Aisha were meant to be Jakka's cannonical couple... (Eveb though I still like Victoria, don't mind me)
I can't even imagine the nightmare it would be to kill leonora and survive the wyvern squad in the original version
Mortimer’s change to a more sympathetic tragic hero is perhaps the best change of them all
I don't know why you're describing beta Jacka as so stiff and boring, it seems he can barely keep a straight face.
Every change was good except for Hailey. I think the old one was better. Give her back Mangs.
The orignal ending would have been interesting tbh
9:15 Release the Snymangs cut!
I'm happy to see they were all great improvements. If someone out wasn't played it yet I invite them to do so, it's a fantastic game.
Thank god for the Jakka rewrite. OG Jakka sounds abysmal. Great video!
How do you get jeese I dont think I ran into him in the game, Also will we ever here from the lord of lances again ,or is his tale mostly over.
You get Jesse in chapter 13, if you send your units south with the first prison block and talk to him with Jakka, Colter or Natalie.
Also Spoilers:
After being recruited, let Jesse stay in his cell for a turn and he'll get a secret event which will give him the Lucky Knife.
well Rebellion Saga, afaik will feature a team separate from Baudimon's team and a potential future game that takes place when AS ends would be when Jakka is like 40.
So maybe AS 2?? But i feel like that game probably will have a different Protaganist.
thats a cool what if, with Jakka as oifey and the kids and such.
Man Mortimer got a giant glow up
BANGS, UPLOAD THE WEDDING VIDEO ALREADY.
Very interesting video.
As someone who never played the andaron saga beta, how was the original scalies above?
From the video I get it was way too brutal, but was it at least brutal in a fun way?
Or was it brutal as well as unfun?
Also, no joke, I would've loved if you kept the original idea of chapter 29, but maybe with a twist where you can actually decide if you want to leave with the kids or just put all one's eggs (haha funny) in one basket and fight your way through a brutal rest of chapter 29 and beat mortimer right then and there.
This is soo cool
It would have been interesting to see an ending where everyone dies in the last battle. I mean, we already lost a highly charismatic main character. What gives a few more deaths? lol
I think a "What if" romhack would be kind of cool, where we get to play the original version of that mission, and get to see a glimpse of how the story would have developed in the potential sequel. Like a 3-4 chapters hack.
It's so cool to see how and why things changed.
Lillinette’s beta portrait looks like something from the 80s 😂 I imagine a scene where the characters break the fourth wall - pointing out how Lillinette used to look.
Mortimer’s beta picture screams, “Evil!”
Caroline helping Jakka get over Baudimon’s loss would have been a boon to the story, but I understand that Andaron Saga had too much going on already.
Who knows? Maybe Klok can include more Caroline material in New Dawn, at least in the Gaiden chapters.
Caroline was one of the best-designed units in AS. When I saw Caroline’s portrait in Rebellion Saga, I felt so emotional because I love her so much lol
I’m glad Chapter 7 was nerfed. Killing Leonora and her death squad is difficult enough, even on Normal. (On Normal, my blasted Berit almost died against Leonora’s army.)
As for the original ending, I think most people would only like it if there was a sequel in the works.
Something so dreadful only feels fulfilling if there’s a new generation, preferably children of the fallen who inherit their parents’ skills and weapons.
Without a sequel, killing off most of Jakka and company would have felt hollow.
So yeah, good change!
I dont know if it was just my luck or what, but i didn't find chapter 7 ( the one in the final game )all that difficult, actually
I remember starting it and thinking it was gonna be hell with all those enemies, but i think i got a really good enemy phase turn that cleared a ton of the map
When i finished it, i even thought "it was just that?" and regreted not trying to fight Eleonora ( i think thats her name )
Knowing that info about Jakka and Caroline is so upsetting cause I always found Jakka to be a boring protagonist and Caroline would have helped so much in that regard
Man, I actually like the sound of the original ending. But waiting another 3+ years for the sequel does sound quite rough
Absolute GOD tier rom hack!
I honestly wish we got the floofy-haired Lillinette, albeit with some mild adjustments to be less jank looking
As for someone who trying to make a rom hack, I have no idea to update or do any alter changes to the rom version. Any advice from anyone?
Hope next game can have a lot less meme talk which breaks immersion in a serious medieval fantasy game.
Nice
I actually liked Baudimon's beta portrait rather than the original one.
I don't know much about Fire Emblem ROMhacks, but the ones I've seen on RUclips strike me as games that I would play once or twice at most.
The fact that you took the time to go through several drafts is proof of your dedication to the project...and why I'm almost done with my 7th playthrough.
I haven't played Andaron Saga yet, it was probably an awful idea to watch this video because of spoilers but oh well lol
I still plan to play the game at some point
Chapter 7 is seen as one of the hardest chapters In the game really surprised me because it was one of the only chapters I finished first try. Chapter 17 is a bitch though.
Old Theo reminds me of kyle maclachlan from dune 1984 for some reason
xD
