    Official Fire Emblem World thread
    After Sponge's Hero World thread, I decided to make my thread about my world: Fire Emblem World. This thread will be about the concepts I decided to do to adapt a strategy RPG into an arcade sidescroller, features and stories about the ideas of the world.

    Issue #1: From Tellius to general Fire Emblem

    At the beginning when I recieved my world password at the last december of the old CND version, I wanted to make a world about Tellius, the continent from Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn. After some time I decided I'd change this idea to a more general Fire Emblem world, having a sub-level, a part about every FE. There will be two sections, some having sub-sections:

    1- Console FE- regrouping:
    Fire Emblem 2(Gaiden)(NES)
    Fire Emblem 4(Seisen no Keifu)(SNES)
    Fire Emblem 5(Thracia 776)(SNES)
    Fire Emblem 9(Path of Radiance)(GC)
    Fire Emblem 10(Radiant Dawn)(Wii)

    2- Portable FE- regrouping:
    Fire Emblem 6(Sword of Seals)(GBA)
    Fire Emblem 7(Blazing Sword)(GBA)
    Fire Emblem 8(The Sacred Stones)(GBA)
    Fire Emblem 11/1/3 book 1 (Shadow Dragon)(DS)
    Fire Emblem 12/3 book 2 (Hero of Shadows)(DS)

    It is more complex than that, but at the base, that's pretty much it. See ya next time for the next issue about Fire Emblem world.

    • JeanMarc

      You'll see that I'll find something for every part to include the player.

    • JeanMarc

      And now that I know that CND won't be updated anymore, I think that the ideas that I have sid will be transferred to Worg 2.

      Issue #2: The all-star mode

      There are many characters in Fire Emblem. Some are better than others. I decided to take 10 of the best characters from every Fire Emblem game and made an all-star mode for it. Here's what's going to be the all-stars of Fire Emblem 1/11/3 book 1:
      Marth
      Abel
      Merric
      Navarre
      Ogma
      Wolf
      Barst
      Lena
      Nagi
      Hardin

      To get access to the all-star mode of a game, you will first need to complete the said game. So, for example, if you'd want to do the FE1 all-star challenge, you would need to complete the FE1 level first.

      Issue #3: The lords

      The lords are the main characters of a Fire Emblem game. If they die, it's a game over. They usually turn out to be quite powerful, and they all have a weapon that can only be used by them. In the end of the post, I have an attachment of every lord in Worg graphics V0.1 (the sprites, not the game). Here they are, from left to right, up to down, every lord's name, what I need to fix, and a link of them in the fire emblem wiki for information and a picture of them.

      Lord 1: Marth
      http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Marth
      Needs an edit in the haircut, needs recoloring to fit Marth's colors and needs the tiara. I think it's pretty much it.

      Lord 2: Alm
      http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Alm
      Maybe an edit in the armor palette will do, but otherwise, he's fine as it is.

      Lord 3: Cellica
      http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Cellica
      I have to recolor pretty much everything and do the thing instead of pants.

      Lord 4: Sigurd
      http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Sigurd
      I need to make sure that the cape goes over the shoulders and fix the face colors. Otherwise, pretty good.

      Lord 5: Celice
      http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Celice
      I think I just need to modify a little bit his shoulderpads, otherwise he's done.

      Lord 6: Leaf
      http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Leaf
      Seriously, I'm pretty sure he's done after I remove the headband.

      Lord 7: Roy
      http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Roy
      Finally, another familiar face for you guys. I don't think there's anything to modify. Yay! One done, 13 to go.

      Lord 8: Lyn
      http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Lyn
      Another familiar face. Pretty much everything has to be redone: the hair looks like crap, the clothes look weird, it doesn't look like her clothes. In other words, I can't wait to see te progression.

      Lord 9: Eliwood
      http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Eliwood
      Roy father. I'll just have to modify his cape a little bit and the hair and he's done.

      Lord 10: Hector
      http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Hector
      Modify the cape a little bit so it doesn't look like he wears a cape in the front and wears one in the back.

      Lord 11: Eirika
      http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Eirika
      Fix the hair and recolor, pretty fine otherwise.

      Lord 12: Ephraim
      http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Ephraim
      Recoloring and he's done.

      Lord 13: Ike
      http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Ike
      Recolor Ike and put a shoulder pad on his left (our right) shoulder.

      Lord 14: Micaiah
      http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Micaiah
      Make her look less man-like by the face (eyebrows?), fix the clothes, make the cape look like a big scarf. Okay, big job remaining.

      EDIT: The upload doesn't work so here's a link to the lord sprites:

      What tool did you use to do these?

    • JeanMarc

      -Sponge's tool to create sprites http://www.famitsu.com/freegame/tool/chibi/index1.html
      -Paint
      -Actual Character portraits from their game (taken from the wiki)
      -Patience

      Patience is always a nice, vital tool to have so you don't RAGE-QUIT when you're frustrated.

    • JeanMarc

      Actually, when you think you can't do it or get bored, stop doing it, save it, doing something else and work back on it. Just make sure the pause doesn't last a year.

      *glances at Wormy*
      *sees Wormy glancing back*
      *looks away*

      Yeah, I'm getting pretty much used to spriting. Got any request perhaps, that isn't stretching a bit too much?

    • JeanMarc

      And if you want to, I could make a guide of how you can recreate certain character from video games with those tools.
