Fire Emblem: Sealed Hope

It’s recommended to use VBA (or the Delta emulator), as other emulators (MGBA) seems to carry the most bugs in the game.

Fire Emblem Sealed Hope is a FE8 Rom Hack that was worked on as a hobby, and has been in development for years. It takes ideas from various Fire Emblem titles while balancing itself in it’s own way. Difficulty comparison-wise, Normal is similar to FE7 difficulty, while Hard is similar to FE6.

Story:

Llyr is the tactician of the Cipher Mercenaries, a small group of mercenaries that has accumulated fame over the years. After a successful job, he meets with his best friend, King Mao of Jrablibe who in search of his missing father, Aurlen. He believes his father’s disappearance is related to a object known as the Fire Emblem, and requests Llyr restore it to find further clues to his father. Unknowingly to Llyr, his mission would only become a stepping stone into finding out the true meaning behind the world, and his life.
