Having finished one hack and being on the cusp of completing another, is there any advice you have for aspiring hackers? Also, are there any concepts, gameplay or storywise, that you’d like to see more of from other hacks?
I wrote most of the advice I had to give here: https://feuniverse.us/t/reflections-on-romhacking-lessons-i-wish-id-known-going-in/23668
I might add to it eventually.
I've been trying to think of a more interesting answer to the second thing for several days now and failed. Really, I just want to see more focus on story in general, with settings that feel thought-through and significant (without just devolving into Worldbuilding (derogatory)) and more of a focus on nationhood. I think you can put a lot of different stories into an FE framework, which when you get down to it is really just 'a lot of skirmishes', and there's some I've absolutely not thought about.
