Thracia 777 finally came out. Shoving being infantry exclusive is geniunally brilliant. Love the idea of it being the counterpart to mounted's Canto. Idk how I feel about the fatigue "buff" but I always thought the idea of the system encouraging you to use more of your army interesting. Anyways - looking forward to 0% growths Bells.
I adore Bells. Some of the most unique map concepts I've ever seen like the Cromar map with an optional 3v3 arena gauntlet, a "seize then escape" map, one where you have to capture an escaping princess, a big "open-world" one where you're trying to gather help from a bunch of different factions and have to do a bunch of side quests to win their approval; those are some of the big highlights but there's plenty of others, too. The telephone nature of the hack gives me a strong vibe that almost every chapter wants to do something really cool and memorable. And somehow, despite being a telephone, the story mostly comes together in a really satisfying way.
I beat Thracia 776 with no save states. Chapter 18 took me 3 hours to beat, including saving the children to get the recruit. It was such a relief to take the throne and not have a unit die. Such an intense experience. I will forever love Thracia.
Honestly, this hack might top Vision Quest for my favorite FE romhack of all time. I love Thracia 776, and seeing it expanded into a game that takes its best aspects and mixes it with some of the other best aspects of the FE franchise was incredible to playthrough twice (and probably a third time in the near future). My only gripes with the game was, as you mentioned, support bonuses taken from 3H felt somewhat useless, and I agree that the “certain plot point” in the middle of the game that would have caused a few units to potentially leave should have been concluded within the game rather than in the character endings. Overall, those are minor nitpicks for a game I adore. Also Awa x Delilah is probably one of my favorite supports I’ve seen in quite awhile.
Man, i am never going to catch up on all the games and hacks i want to play. Ive got your emtire review list to chew through, thracia, 6, and then the gamecube games.
i personally didn't get very far in thracia, i didn't enjoy it very much, but i think at some point i'm gonna play this hack to see what i didn't like, the maps and the like or the mechanics of it all
The tweet at 0:45 is a shitpost/bait right? I don't know what game they're thinking of, but it isn't peak fiction Thracia 776. Swordlocked could only apply to Leif and Eyvel, and the latter is unkillable.
The tweet is most likely referring to the the fourth chapter, which while not the very first chapter in the game _does_ cut your party down to just Leif and Lifis, both of whom are in fact sword users
This is my favorite rom hack i've ever played. I love how replayable it is with all the different kinds of units available. I haven't read all the supports but so many of them are amazing. Also Mish supremacy
Always enjoy these hack reviews. This video is gonna make me do another run through this game. Wondering if anyone here has played Drums of War? Thats another great hack i would love to see Dani review
I know its not the focus of the video but what the fuck is Ryan Malis talking about You only have 2 sword users, one being an unkillable prepromote on the other hand you have 3 axe users , a lance cav and an archer.
@@darthr0xas363 that's not even true of rev though. You have a sword/stone user, a knife user, and a lance user, and face mostly sword enemies... So I'm not even sure if there is a single chapter in fe that fits that description
@DaniDoyle okay I'm glad I found this comment because I'm playing thracia for the first time a week after watching this and the map wasn't anything like that 😂 the joke flew completely over my head
I definitely need to check this one out! I just finished with Iron Emblem and Iron Emblem: Age of Steel, so having another fun-looking Fire Emblem hack to work through will be awesome. Thanks for the highlight.
I just finished this game yesterday as my 2nd fe rom hack (the first being illusory dungeon) by recommendation from a friend Definitely a tremendously difficult experience coming from someone whos never ventured into Lunatic before, but also some of the most fun ive had with a Fire Emblem game. By the end, my friend and i compared armies and they were entirely different, if thats any credence toward the point of unit diversity Great review!
Half my mained units in Thracia leveled Mov once or twice. Asbel, Sara and Karin leveled it at least 3 apiece (God did that + the boots made dealing with ballistae so much easier).
I am currently playing for the first time thracia 776 (using savestates and such because i just cannot bring myself to play the way it is intended) and i love nothing more than the growth scrolls, build and movement growths, vigor and pcc, just looking that this hack have those, i got convinced to play. Ah, and my beloved capture (i don't really like fatigue tho, i just cannot like it in anyway even if it is fair) Edit: allright so this game makes exceptions for talk events and that, something that thracia is a literal troll with, i don't wanna miss out on anything because i don't replay games so that is pretty neat
Been enjoying this hack quite alot so far. The only thing i dont entirely like is the amount of text at times. Sometimes there's so much but I felt like little was added. Also, an 80% to hit feels more like 65% but it's been a very great hack so far.
I am recent new subscriber! you are the only one that I could find in YT reviewing FE rom hacks with such quality!! can you review as well Cerulean Crescent? V1.0 just released recently and would love to know your thoughts before I play the game.
0:44 Actually you have Finn, Osian, Halvan, Dagdar and Marty who are not sword units. Litterally everyone but Eyvel and Leif. I love BoB too ! It's a great game.
Oh boy another one to bookmark to my neverending backlog of FE romhacks! I'm so 50/50 on Fe5 that I'm kinda dreading to eventually replay it. Great video! Really sold me on the new and old mechanics didn't watch the story section don't want to be spoiled. Not touching that fog of war character nope.
@@DaniDoyle ok so I'll try making duplicates, can I rename them or put them in different folders. I'll experiment and see what I can get away with. Thanks for the vids, so many good games
As someone who has never played Thracia (and probably won't due to technical reasons) how user-friendly is this hack in explaining and getting you used to its mechanics? Does it assume you've played 776 and already understand them or does it tutorialize them for you?
This game is awesome. Just as an example of the kind of stuff this game cooks up, you get a dancer halfway through the game with 3 move stars. 11/10 unit. Still gotta watch out for fatigue though.
Honestly, I kinda want to play Thracia again sometime so I can personally re-evaluate it. But Bells of Byelen looks neat. Also, is it me, or are some of these tiles from Final Fantasy V?
1. It's a romhack of a GBA game. Take a wild guess. 2. Download the UPS file from the link in the description, patch it to vanilla US FE8 rom. If you don't know how to do that, look it up.
FE5's first chapter does NOT give you all sword users (2 sword, 1 lance, 1 bow, 4 AXEMEN SMFH, just another reason to stay off twitter as it's filled with idiots lmao), and the stats on the lance-wielding enemy soldiers don't really make them much of a threat. Add in that weapon triangle is only 5%, and yeah you were really grasping at straws with that opening argument. All good though, good to learn about a cool romhack. I feel you should put the name of the romhack in the title, so more people can find this when searching and just in general know what the heck this video is about right away.
Love the gameplay, especially of kaga games, but i just cant get over gba graphics. I know im probably in the minority but the gba games are my least favorite, wish more hacks came out for other fire emblems
The thing I adore most about FE4 and FE5 are their art direction. I love seeing hacks use the muted and earthy palette.
Thracia 777 finally came out.
Shoving being infantry exclusive is geniunally brilliant. Love the idea of it being the counterpart to mounted's Canto. Idk how I feel about the fatigue "buff" but I always thought the idea of the system encouraging you to use more of your army interesting.

Lol all the clips of the thief dying to the devil weapon
Random chance fucking your life irreparably is the gender-non-conforming experience (though not exclusive to us obviously)
"both the lords are fliers"
oh god no, I'm so bad at keeping mounted units alive.
that aside, looks interesting.
Remember that you can dismount any flier if you want.

The artstyle actually also gives a blend of Thracia and GBA vibes - adding this one to the queue too
Move over Moulder the Boulder, Svetomir the Biggest Here has arrived.
Thank you for recommending this amazing romhack, I fall in love with this one after seeing Mira's sprite lol.
Save state is like my savior in my many Fe run. The longer the game is the more important save state is.
Did I just saw a devil dagger crit, and the thief complaining she's out of luck ?
That's peak game design
I beat Thracia 776 with no save states. Chapter 18 took me 3 hours to beat, including saving the children to get the recruit. It was such a relief to take the throne and not have a unit die. Such an intense experience. I will forever love Thracia.

10:55 ackchually 🤓 nosferatu is a light magic B tome rank in this hack
Doh, brain fart!
I know its not the focus of the video but what the fuck is Ryan Malis talking about
You only have 2 sword users, one being an unkillable prepromote on the other hand you have 3 axe users , a lance cav and an archer.
I honestly have no idea. Its such a bizarre statement that it became a meme overnight.
He confused Chapter 1 of Thracia with Chapter 6 of Revelations. Common mistake, we forgive Ryan

Great video! Really sold me on the new and old mechanics didn't watch the story section don't want to be spoiled. Not touching that fog of war character nope.
Is there a way to have several patches on the same rom or should i make duplicates?
You cannot put multiple hacks on the same rom
@@DaniDoyle ok so I'll try making duplicates, can I rename them or put them in different folders. I'll experiment and see what I can get away with. Thanks for the vids, so many good games

There is a guide in the options menu that explains all the mechanics
Definitely want to check this out! Awesome review as always
This game is awesome. Just as an example of the kind of stuff this game cooks up, you get a dancer halfway through the game with 3 move stars. 11/10 unit. Still gotta watch out for fatigue though.
I want to play just for enby thief with devil effect now
Finally, it’s time people stopped sleeping on Bells of Byelen
chapter 1 only swords v lances? what about orson and the pugi?
not even to mention the other axe users you have, halvin, dagdar?
play New Theory of Thracia, an amazing romhack that makes Thracia replayable imo
It feels so very Dani that the game footage over the course of this video showed Mish dying to her own devil weapon like four times. Never change.
They, not she. But yeah, they are a silly unit.
@@DaniDoyle My apologies. I had registered you mentioning that they're nb and then promptly forgot about it while writing the comment. My bad.
Minor nitpick: the weapon triangle in Thracia isn't very impactful in its game. I forget the exact bonuses but it's like +5 hit, -5 avoid I think.
Yes, that's why the person on twitter getting so mad about it is funny.
(Plus his statement about lances and swords is wrong)
FE6: The Binding Blade finally came out?
fatigue the best mechanic in fireemblem??
Honestly, I kinda want to play Thracia again sometime so I can personally re-evaluate it. But Bells of Byelen looks neat.
Also, is it me, or are some of these tiles from Final Fantasy V?
I have questions
1. Is this rom hack playable in gba emulator ?
2. How do i download this rom hack ?
1. It's a romhack of a GBA game. Take a wild guess.
2. Download the UPS file from the link in the description, patch it to vanilla US FE8 rom. If you don't know how to do that, look it up.
I have never played thraccia, I had problems patching the rom, I need to try again sometime.
@@projectmessiah Oh I'll try that, thanks!
This is my favorite fire emblem game ever
This might be the hack that gets me back into trying FE hacks, as Thracia is probably my favorite Fire Emblem
Does this project use LT or FEbuilder?
Neither! This is a Buildfile project
I love ALL Dani Doyle videos!!!! ❤
half of this footage is just mish dying which is rather funny
Yep. Mish. 💜
