Tactics Universe :: The Trailer

[venlocity2]

I followed the link, all the steps and directions and the game STILL didn't work! It even ruined some of my other games and messed up the computer so I had to remove all of them. where can i get a SAFE version, preferably with the game already set up to play?

[Hirothegood]

This hack seems a lot better than most.

Like

A LOT better. Very, very good work.

[jaredenem]

Karma - bump of chicken (opening

[RHCowboy]

...My my, is that an instrumental version of the Tales of the Abyss anime opening??

[Fireshrine]

@RHCowboy I believe the English opening is instrumental, if that's what you mean (no voices).

[squirrelfan5]

looks damn good to me! simply curious, where in relation to the timeline of FE6 and FE7 does this fall? i'm thinking generations before FE7, but i could be waaay off. thanks so much for this!

[Fireshrine]

@squirrelfan5 a few hundred years before, I believe. It says somewhere at the beginning but I can't remember ATM... lol.

[squirrelfan5]

@Fireshrine that was a prompt reply. must have missed it, then. thanks!

[Fireshrine]

@squirrelfan5 haha yeah just a coincidence. Do a New Game and watch the opening to know for sure... I'd do it myself and tell you (I think it's like 600 something years) but I gotta run. XP

[skins4thewin]

lovin the music man. the added guitar rift for this version makes the song much better than the original imo

[final909]

can you make the tactican in this? i really want them to playable or having their own storyline or even having a support conversion with someone...

[Fireshrine]

@final909 uh, you can make your OWN hack with the tactician, if that's what you're asking. this one does not have it, if you want it, make your own hack or find another hack that does have it. :\

[final909]

@Fireshrine ah cool thanks for info...

[Se7suna1]

i got it, it took me a while, THEN i converted the file to zip format and PUT IT IN MY XPERIA X10 MINI PRO!!! OMFG THANK U!!

[millstheidiot]

is there supports in this?

[Fireshrine]

@millstheidiot not yet but I had planned on them--they are in progress

[wnys17]

oh, and sweet hack too, i guess =P

[wnys17]

this hack is set about 600 years after the scouring right? and why dies it say six heroes?

[SuzakiHartz]

This hacks is fking great xD

I always wanted to find a hack like this

not the one without custom maps, because it gets boring and you already know what the next maps going to look like.

This one is like a different fire emblem, a completely different game because all the events, maps, and etc is all different.

The perfect hack i was trying to look for xD

Now if only you can finish it :P

[deviltrigger29]

Hehe you used the Tales of the Abyss theme for this. It kindof fits i suppose.

Great job on your hack.

[Fireshrine]

@deviltrigger29 thanks =)

[TheODSTsoldier]

i finally got it xD took me like few month to figure it out  -hand on face- god im such an idiot XD

[elementpker]

erm where can i find the patch for version 3.4 of this?

[Fireshrine]

@elementpker it doesn't exist, latest patch is v3.1, use google

[DanTheMan590]

you know what... i just beat it and it confused the hell out of me. I was on turn 86 when i realized it was over(i searced the whole room for items). Hope the rest of the game is a good as this part.

[Fireshrine]

@DanTheMan590 heheh, yeah, some people get confused because the game only goes upto chapter 15/Respite from battle. and there's only 1 item in that room. Also, the rest of the game will be MUCH better than the 1st half, because I am a better hacker.

[DanTheMan590]

I GOT IT!!!

[Fireshrine]

@DanTheMan590 nice lol. btw just so u don't comment again later, the game actually stops at chapter 15, so when u get stuck after that don't comment, I just haven't finished the hack. lol XD

[DanTheMan590]

thats the thing though i got the game about 3 days ago from fireshrine and i am using the newest vba but ill check if there is another updated version

P.S: love the game

[DanTheMan590]

I have a big problem, i cant get past chapter 11 because it keeps freezing before the dialog at the start. The weird thing is the music still plays and i can fastforward

[Fireshrine]

@DanTheMan590 My guess is you have an older version (although that still shouldn't happen) or an emulator not supported. Use the latest version of VBA (1.8.0.3 or something), or the VBA port for the iPhone/iTouch or Wii. Those are tested. To find the latest version of the game, please check the official website. Search "Tactics Universe" and you should find the link (Youtube won't let me link to a website in a comment).

[Wilsonowner]

um when i downloaded it and saved it to my visual boy advances memory it just says no image found on zip file and it says its unsupported how come?

[Fireshrine]

@Wilsonowner you can't just save the ZIP and have it work because it's a patch, not a ROM. you have to right-click and extract the ZIP and then read the "Patching Instructions".

[Wilsonowner]

@Fireshrine its also that i ont know where the patching instructuons are

[Fireshrine]

@Wilsonowner they're in the download

[Wilsonowner]

@Wilsonowner as far a s i know from it saying open save or cancel it doesnt say what the instructions are

[Fireshrine]

@Wilsonowner once you save it to your desktop you have to right-click it and extract it with winzip or winRAR. If you don't have the option 'extract here' when you right-click on the file you download, then go install winRAR (google it) and then try again. Once you extract it there will be a file called "Patching Instructions". Read that and good luck patching and playing the game.

[Wilsonowner]

@Fireshrine thank you very much i finally got it

[Fireshrine]

@Wilsonowner your welcome

[powertothecoloured]

lol is this a real game like out to buy???

[Fireshrine]

@powertothecoloured lol no, but I wish it was, and I wish I got paid.

[powertothecoloured]

@Fireshrine lol

ohh that sucks cause it's really cool

:D

i would buy it

:P

[powertothecoloured]

@Fireshrine lol

:P

[stopstopp]

Just got this hack and its really well made, I should play more hacks.

[Fireshrine]

@stopstopp thanks and no offense but most other hacks that are on par with this hack aren't complete yet (either 1-2 chapter demos and crap or no patch at all D:)

when the other hacks have more progress though... it will be sometihng to look forward to

[ssbmaster5]

Tales of the Abyss theme. Nice.

[MazKiller09]

Wow! I want this game!!

[icejoe246]

lol i love the song from tales of abyss from the beginning :)

[Lvlvl1238]

2:30 he says you wont pass by his sword. But he has a lance equiped?

[Fireshrine]

lol yeah someone else mentioned that too. He can have a sword equipped but coincidentally in the vid he doesn't lol. the joke is that the reason why he got pwnt is because he didn't have his sword equipped XD

[camike1231]

the friggen application wont even go it just comes up with a comand prompt for a split second

[Fireshrine]

What application? <_<

[frickmann123]

Much <3

[FinalXProductions]

im playing this right now and i must admit ITS FUCKING AWESOME im currently on chapter 8

[Fireshrine]

@FinalXProductions Thanks a lot! XD

Just wait until the new version comes out in a few weeks, it will be even better. Subscribe to meh channel if you want to play it when it's released :D

[FinalXProductions]

can't stop playing it's just to awesome! UAGH

[Dathiason]

Hey, FB, what music is this? I dunno if it ever said in the vid.

[Fireshrine]

@Dathiason Watch the end of the video and it should say. Tales of the Abyss Opening, Shadow Dragon: People's Lament, and some other songs, I don't remember...

[loser6665]

great game, i got the old versin back before but, i was plaing and my game got stuck at chapter 8, with a black screen apprearing at the prepair for battle screen. I tried everything, but it would not go. I patched it correctly so I don't know what i did wrong. Like i said great hack.

[Fireshrine]

If you try the latest version it should work. Just repatch it and then transfer your save file from the old version to the new version. Or make a savestate by hitting Shift+F1 in game and then transfer that savestate from the old version (with the glitch) to the new version (without the glitch)

[MetroidCommando]

I really want this. How do I play it, and what do I need? Please reply with a list of the downloads I need. Thanks!

[Fireshrine]

The download in the description, Visual Boy Advance (search on google, go to the site's home page, and the download for version 1.8.0.3 is on the home page), and a Fire Emblem 7 (U) #1235 ROM (I cannot give this to you or help you with it). The latest version comes with a patcher (see instructions) and it patches the ROM. You can also use NUPS (found on FEShrine, link is in description) to patch the ROM. When you patch it FE7 will become Tactics Universe. Then use VBA to play the ROM. ^_^

[wnys17]

Amazing hack (with the whole original everything). The only things I didn' like was that there were only swords and lance men for the first few chapters. and the new siegfried is really different.

[Fireshrine]

Thanks, and unfortunately this game discriminates against axe users-- it will take quite a while before it get its first allied axe user (chapter like, 14).

New Siegfried is just a portrait... =P Once I get some more things done with the hack I'm going to make an updated trailer. ^_^

[MonkeyMan454454]

what emulator do you need to use this game?

[Fireshrine]

Visual Boy Advance, preferably v1.8.0.3 or something like that, google it and the latest version download is found on the home page.

[Animemaster11nf]

Looks like one of the best fe hacks out.

[Fireshrine]

Thanks. ^_^

[coolhawk19]

How far along is it now and is it downloadable?

[Fireshrine]

description...

[coolhawk19]

Nevermind downloaded it bout 3 hrs ago and started playin. Nice hack :)

[Fireshrine]

oh I see lol thank you very much. Means a lot. :P

[coolhawk19]

Ur most welcome. Keep up the good work! :)

[alexcha5]

The ling dosent work anymore now what we do?

[Fireshrine]

It works... :\

[GamerDoubleJ]

the link doesn't work anymore DX

[Fireshrine]

That was because the link was a little tricky before and you had to copy and paste it. Since I had to update the link to v2.5.7 I decided it wouldn't hurt to make the link less dumb, try again ^_^

[GamerDoubleJ]

YES! thx you, i will enjoy this game like no other haha lol i feel so happy =D! I saw seph1212 play this and i thought, heck yea, this game looks amazin!

[Fireshrine]

Hah cool. That is good to know, now I feel like hacking it some more XD

[GamerDoubleJ]

u should put that mario in the hack =P that'd be a first =D

[Fireshrine]

heh I could but it wouldn't fit into the story :P PLus somebody else is going to put it into their hack

[Faulzee]

Which fire emblem do I patch with this hack?

[Fireshrine]

Fire Emblem 7 Blazing Sword #1235 (U)

That enough info lol (just teasing)

[Faulzee]

Thanks.:)

[Fireshrine]

No prob

[timodeusdragon]

UPS file in the download? how am i supossed to play this game?

[Fireshrine]

Download the file and then read the instructions and you should be well on your way. P

[gotmilk3001]

Will there be any custom spells with their own special animations:? or special troops?

[Fireshrine]

Yes and yes.

[gotmilk3001]

Cheers then :D

[hellothereimasian]

ive got a question, are you using C++ along with hex editting? anyways, I love how you hold out on a playthrough, im gonna try to be first to make a playthrough cause this game is just that amazing!

[Fireshrine]

No, I'm not using any C++, although some of the programs I used/am using are made in C++ XD. What do you mean "hold out on a playthrough", some other people have already finished and there's a Lets Play for the game if that's what you mean make a playthrough, if you mean finish the ENTIRE game then good luck, I will be looking forward to it. Heheh.

[hellothereimasian]

i like how you dont post the chapters and such and you let us play through it so you dont spoil the story. how long is the entire game? im liking what i see so im probably gonna do that playthrough

[Fireshrine]

when you say chapters you mean scripts? The entire game, I dunno, we were cutting back some of the chapters, so maybe 25? It was intended to be 30, plus like 7 gaidens, so yeah, it'll probably be like 25 with 5 gaidens.

[hellothereimasian]

just wondering, since kelik and anakin become the next main characters, will all the characters unite again or will there be kelik only characters and anakin only characters

[Fireshrine]

Just like FE7 they are going to reunite there may be some Kelik-only characters and characters that haven't appeared in Siegfried's mode will appear (so plenty of new characters)

You should join my forums, check the description for a link, you are a cool person IMO.

[ThommyTheKido]

at 2:28 the guy says "You won't pass! I swear it by my sword!"  the guy has a steel lance.. LOLZ

[Fireshrine]

I know right? That's probably why he got his ass kicked. Wasn't using a sword. :P

Somebody else mentioned this too, pretty lulzy

[RoyalPersonGuy]

Tales of the Abyss opening? Awesome.

[firebow333]

is it really $9.99?

Btw this looks really good

[Fireshrine]

lol no, it's a hack, you don't have to buy it. :D

[serter43]

I noticed that one chapter 2, near where the boss is, imprinted into the ground is the word kill. Was that on purpose or by accident?

[Fireshrine]

On purpose, of course. ^_^ (You're not the 1st to notice it, btw, but great job noticing it anyway, not everyone did)

[hellothereimasian]

ok so i just finished siegfrieds story, and im anxious to find out what happens to him =[ and, once his story is over, are we forced to go to anakins story or keliks story? or can we choose who's story to go through, cause personally I wanna go through keliks first cause hes such a badass =O

[Fireshrine]

Awesome, Siegfried's story is already over but he's still in Anakin's and Kelik's mode. You get to choose who you want to go to, thankfully. ^_^

[hellothereimasian]

sick! you guys are fucking amazing, I love how you do the character placemenet to all my characters end game(so far) stats were high and good levels

[Fireshrine]

Thanks, that's inspiring. Heheh.

[hellothereimasian]

Hey, im just curious, I haven't played your hack yet, cause I haven't been home(currently at my grandfathers in japan), but will we get kelik as a playable character?

[Fireshrine]

I see, no not in this version you won't. In Anakin's Mode and Kelik's mode you will however. He just makes enigmatic appearances in like 3 of the chapters O_o

[yourtrueruler]

Blazer, what song is used in this?

-Shu

[Fireshrine]

If you watched the whole thing it says in the end... IIRC... >_>

Tales of the Abyss intro, The People's Lament (FESD), Gary's Battle (Pokemon R/B/Y), I think that's it.

[yourtrueruler]

Oh, I see. Thanks.

[Fireshrine]

Yeah, no problem, Shu. :)

[bloodfalcon222]

This looks so awesome ;_;

[james10nm]

and i could help, if your too lazy making portraits lol, hahahahahaha

[Fireshrine]

I'd appreciate help for my hack Tales of Eborakia, not sure if you're interested in that, I need portraits for Tales characters though real badly T_T

[james10nm]

oh okay, i could help you with that

i'm not a BIG addict of Tales but i know a lot of people that could help me with it as well

i'll send you a message with my email or somthing..if you want it

[Fireshrine]

Yeah please do I really need help. ^_^ I'd seriously appreciate it, thanks.

[james10nm]

I could also probably do some custom spriting, but it might be hard...like the true blade thats my next project

[james10nm]

nice splices, my splice attempts take me a while to make it into perfection...=(

recouler this and recouler that, annoys me to hell, but the splicing part is fun though...but it's the recoulour part

[Fireshrine]

Recoloring is easier if you use a program like Usenti or something where you can just edit the palette...

Also this is a forum hack, I only made 2 of teh sprites, the rest are made by members of the forums. And not all of them are spliced. :P

[james10nm]

I use paint, i don't know why but it gives me a lot more accuracy on what i do. Thats just me though hahahahahaha.

fourm hack, i have yet to try that since i can't hack that well...hahahahaha

[hellothereimasian]

this is amazing, truely amazing. I can't wait to see some more custom animations. If I may, may I requeset that you make a custom sword class, that lets you use swords/bows. Something like lyns lord promo, but with a swordmaster type of animation.

[Fireshrine]

Heh I'll see. All of the characters in the hack are pre-planned so I may not have the chance to do it in this hack but I'll still try hard. ^_^

[hellothereimasian]

heheh thank you, another class, if possible to do with hex data editing, is a class that could use swords + anima magic. would be pretty sick to see that.

[Fireshrine]

I don't think this hack will have one (and it would require NL's special patch anyway) but Tales of Eborakia is planning on having a couple of units that use both magic and physical weapons (cough, Kratos cough).

[Talloe123]

i dun know if its just me, but wheni try to play it, it goes black right after the title screen.

i might have patched it wrong, but i did every thing that it said to do in the instructions.

ddun know what went wrong...

[spyrodi]

I'm disappointed in the large lack of new music hurfdurf

[Fireshrine]

Heheh. *discusses with you on MSN*

[IOS33]

Everything except for the graphics looks amazing. Good job.

[DragonKNIGHTS103]

The graphics are normal for fire emblem, I don't think it is even possible to make it better.

Btw, I love this! Makes me want to try and hack FE again even though I suck at it xD

[Fireshrine]

XD Thanks.

[Fireshrine]

Yeah I wouldn't expect any other comment from you, the dude who's obsessed with the graphics in A Sacred Dawn and MageKnight404's Hack. XD, no harm intended, I'm simply aware of what sort of quality you'd expect from a "good graphical hack".

[7eld]

It's spelled "Marquess" I'm pretty sure. Wikipedia agrees.

Also, nice choice of music. Except:

- I haven't played Tales of the Abyss. You're making me wish I had.

- I only have the midi of the Gary battle that I ripped myself. The remix has better instruments. :/

- That other song is for a sequel to a game I loved, but I don't have that sequel. Again, maddening.

I can't tell if you're trying to be epic or make me feel uncultured. ;_;

[Fireshrine]

Hahah. 1) I didn't play it either, and after my friend Dan/Lelouch showed me the song, I wish I had too. So I feel you.

2) Youtube and Google are amazing. :D

3) Yeah, the actual song is higher quality. I wish I had MIDI's of the boss battles in the game ToS DotnW, but I don't. :\

I was trying to be epic, of course. That's my goal in life.

[DanTehSamuraiMan]

You haven't played Abyss? If you have a modded PS2, just get the ISO and you'll have a great RPG, 60+ hours and worth replaying.

A lot of the music from Abyss kicks ass, but we can't find any midis of them..so we're looking into getting a MP3 to Midi converter.

[Fireshrine]

No, I don't have a PS2, nevermind a modded one. XD

[7eld]

I CAN afford the game.

I'd rather just buy it.

[DanTehSamuraiMan]

Then WTF are you waiting for? DO EET NAO!

[Fireshrine]

Yeah, it's only $9.99 for this epic masterpiece! It includes Glass, the Peerless Swordsman!

[525058]

Epic.

[seph1212]

Hey Fireshrine a small problem, chapter 8 doesn't load. I don't know if it's just me, but if it's not i think you may want to adress this problem.

[Fireshrine]

That's weird, because it's worked for other people. Are you using the latest version of VBA? I'm going to work on a fix just in case, although I'm not sure what it could be. O_o I had one other report of this bug, where the chapter loads but the battle preps don't. :O

[seph1212]

yeah, it goes black screen at the preps, and the music plays, but nothing else. I was hoping to play some more too, it was getting really good.

[Fireshrine]

Dang, this sucks. I'm going to work on a fix ASAP, can you get on AIM or something? :P

[seph1212]

I have skype, and I have Yahoo, but I don't have AIM. I have MSN as well. sorry about that...>.> but just add me on one of those please.

[hellothereimasian]

oh and are you gonna add weapons with the ground dasher/aqua tome sprite for ranged attacks

[Fireshrine]

I plan on adding Ground Dasher but not Aqua Edge. Aqua Edge was mainly a test. I might add a few other special spells that are more epic.

[seph1212]

I'm begging you to let me do and LP of this amazing piece of work. 9.9

[Fireshrine]

I can't believe I had forgotten what an LP is; yes, please do, I was actually going to request someone to do it. LET'S PLAY!

[seph1212]

I SHALL, as soon as chapter 8 is working so i can finish my first playthrough TT^TT

[Fireshrine]

Awesome, I have been working my butt off on a fix

[ItsukeUchiha23]

-claps- You are, indeed, great. I'll be having A LOT of fun. :D

[Fireshrine]

^_^ Awesome, enjoy yourself.

[arkangel20]

Dammit, too epic to be true, Blazer!

So this is how the complete Sigfried's mode looks like, eh?

[Fireshrine]

Yep, but this only a glimpse. The real game is a lot more fun (and also a little annoying at times lol). Why don't I change my name to EpicBlazer? :P

[rapmaster243]

Wow! It looks awesome! Good job Blazer!

[shadowofchaos725]

Yay... I get started on *cough* stealing event ideas *cough* filming gameplay if I get the motivation to play...

LMAO

Nice job on finally releasing it BLAZRAR!!!

[Fireshrine]

Thanks and good luck and whatnot. XP

[DanTehSamuraiMan]

So, who wants to start doing voice overs for Blazrar's trailers?

[Fireshrine]

I guess I'll help and if Shadow consents...

[BTran08]

Gordon or Kelik still need a new mug to look less like eachother. :P But otherwise can't wait for the release. Pellenore looks very epic I have to say. One more thing...

2:21 EPIC HAX!

[Fireshrine]

Mhm I will do so maybe in the next release. And the release is out link in description.

[hadoukenfighter]

so where exactly can i download this?

[Fireshrine]

Sorry, I forgot to update! So sorry, it's in description now.

[exxucus949]

... I need to make Pellenore taller. He looks like a midget. .__.

[Fireshrine]

XD really? He's still epic though.

[DustyScythe]

Yay, 2.5 is out! :D

[Fireshrine]

:D Link in description :D

[battosai1111]

did this take all ur hackin knowledge???

[Fireshrine]

Oh yeah, every single tiny bit. I can't think of anything I didn't have to do except for a custom spell animation, I didn't do that.
