Fire Emblem Fates – Garonquest

Features

• -The story of this hack is pretty questionable and not something you should take too seriously (I mean, you do play the villains here…).  If you can’t take a few bad jokes, don’t play this hack.
• -This hack is balanced around Lunatic difficulty. Garonquest’s Lunatic is meant to be a bit harder than vanilla Lunatic (Normal/Hard still work, but I haven’t tested them much)
• -You play as King Garon and his underlings; as a result, many of your units are already pre-promoted.
• -These early pre-promotes (Iago, Hans, and a few others) level up like an unpromoted unit and have a level cap of 40 (Just like Jakob/Felicia in Vanilla Fates).
• -This hack has a few new paralogues (one is unlocked after chapter 8, and a chain of two paralogues is unlocked after chapter 11). These paralogues are at their hardest if played right after they are unlocked and get a bit easier if you play them a few chapters later.
• -Exp income is somewhat reduced on these chapters (so they don’t mess too much with the main story chapters).
• -Child-paralogues are completely unmodified and will clash with the events in the main story (but I still felt like it’s better to leave them in).
• -Invasions are completely unmodified as well.
• -There are a few new supports; supports that were in the vanilla game are completely unmodified.
• -A spreadsheet with all playable characters, their unlock requirements, and their growth rates is also included. (Obviously contains spoilers)
• -There aren’t any characters with obscure recruitment methods.
• -There are many new items and some vanilla items are modified (iron weapons are E-rank, tonics are more expensive, silver weapons don’t debuff…) so keep a lookout for that when playing.
• -MyCastle is a bit wacky, and characters might sometimes use wrong quotes and voice lines.
• -DLC chapters are very messy, and some might not be playable

Instructions

• -Start the game and select “New Game” (DO NOT select the branch of fate)
• -Create a female avatar (a male avatar will break the dialogue)
• -After you played the first chapter, select the Conquest route
• -This hack is balanced around Lunatic; in fact, some gameplay changes only affect Lunatic. Other difficulties still work just fine, but to get the most out of this hack, I recommend playing on Lunatic (consider playing Lunatic, Casual instead of Hard, Classic)
