How it feels

A gleefully unbalanced Fire Emblem hack that turns the series' tactics into a chaotic, mean-spirited joke.

About

In May of 2015, Something Awful user Vilkacis would do a let's play thread of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, albeit with a twist. Vilkacis had some degree of experience with hacking Fire Emblem games and would make changes to the game such as making Noah a dark mage with the portrait of a Phantasy Star character, giving Ogier a speed growth that's over 100%, and making Zephiel one of the most overtuned boss fights in the series. Roy's Bizarre Adventure is the final version of this hack that was released in the thread's final update.
