Unused content in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.
Revision as of 19:15, 1 January 2020 by L95 (talk | contribs) (The Caer Pelyn one is used on Eirika route)

Numerous pieces of unused content are present within Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. Many discoveries on this page are from feuniverse.us and Serenesforest.net. Unless otherwise specified, the content on this page was documented with the North American (NTSC) release.

Text

Debug text

There are two sets of text strings which may be leftovers from removed debug functions, since some of them line up with the functions of the leaked prototype. The first set occurs very early in the data, while the second is located later on between the movement commands and their help descriptions. While some of them make sense, like "SRAM info" and "This unit has no SRAM information", others are strange and unintelligible lines like "very bear" and "blanket100". Some lines reference characters from the previous two Game Boy Advance Fire Emblem games, since The Sacred Stones used them as a base. The full set of these strings, including the formatting markers in brackets, is as follows:

Unused preparations menu text

Text for Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade's tactics rank, as well as the Augury remains in The Sacred Stones. It is located with with other text related to the preparations menu. There is also a text string for yet another removed debug function, presumably in this instance it would relate to the preparations menu.

Chapter labels

While there are no unused chapter titles, there are text strings after the main story chapter names and before the Lagdou Ruins floor labels for a ninth and tenth floor of the Tower of Valni. In the final release, the Tower of Valni only has eight floors. Also of note, Phantom Ship and Creeping Darkness are at the very end of the chapter name list, after Lagdou Ruins, and not sorted in chronological order like the rest of the chapter names, this, and these chapters not being in the prototype, may imply those two chapters were late additions.

Tower of Valni 9[X]
Tower of Valni 10[.][X]

Terrain labels

There exist four labels with the rest of the terrain labels that don't seem to be used anywhere.

C.Room[X]
[...]
Church[X]

Unused names

A boss, that would later be called Breguet in the final game, known by the placeholder name "Evil" イビル from the Japanese official website.

There are six unused names among the other character names in the game.

  • Nate, (Japanese: ネイト Nate) appears between Dozla and Rennac.
  • Deni, (Japanese: デミ Demi) appears between Caellach and Riev.
  • Mark, (Japanese: マーク Mark) appears near the end of the name list. There are a handful of references to Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade's tactician throughout The Sacred Stone's text that are leftover from Fire Emblem.
  • Evil, (Japanese: イビル Evil) also near the end of the name list. Used for placeholder bosses in the prototype and is also seen in some early Japanese gameplay screenshots.
  • Summonern, (Japanese: サマナーン Summonern) used by a unit that appeared in the prototype.
  • Summon, (Japanese: サモン Summon) used by a unit that appeared in the prototype, appears to be the very last name in the character names.

Unused help descriptions

In The Sacred Stones there are a handful of help text descriptions never seen in normal gameplay, mainly because they either never appear as units, or, in the case of the Gorgon Egg, their status screen is inaccessible. There are also help descriptions presumably leftover from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.

The line breaks in the below texts are formatted like in the game for accuracy.

There is also a placeholder help description for temporary bosses appearing in the prototype and some early pre-release materials. Unlike the above help descriptions, this help description does not have any assigned character slot, and only exists as stand-alone text. It is between the rest of the character help descriptions and before class names.

Temp.: Enemy Boss[.][X]


Unit name and class list


This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.


With a hex editor a list of character names (these are generally their NoJ official romanizations) and some of their classes are listed, along with a large amount of slots labeled "EMPTY". This character and class list is just before The Binding Blade's credits. Right before the names start there is also a short dummy message.

The names appear to be roughly in (reverse) recruitment order, with the exception of Joshua, who is between Syrene and Knoll. This may or may not imply Joshua was going to be recruited much later at some point in development.

This list starts at offset 001C1EC0 in the NTSC-U release.

The Binding Blade credits

When viewing the ROM's data in a hex editor, the complete credits of The Binding Blade can be found starting at offset 0x1C2BD4 (NTSC-U) or 0x1B258C (NTSC-J). These credits were also present in Fire Emblem and could be found in the same way.

Debug menu text

The prototype's chapter select labels are still present in the final release. This list can be found at offset 001C32C7 in the NTSC-U release, just after The Binding Blade's credits.

This list differs slightly from the known leaked prototype, "E10x" and "I10x" are not present in the prototype. It is likely these two labels refer to Creeping Darkness and Phantom Ship, respectively, as those are absent from the leaked prototype entirely. E20B and I20B are also not in the prototype.

Numbers prefixed with L refer to chapters before the route split (I05, is also before the route split, being chapter 5x). Numbers prefixed by an E are chapters from Eirika's route. Numbers prefixed with I (for Irzark, presumably Ephraim's name earlier in development) are chapters from Ephraim's route.

Chapter numbers prefixed with T are the Tower of Valni maps, and numbers prefixed with R are for Lagdou Ruins.

Misc


This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.


Many other miscellaneous text exists and can be viewed with a hex editor that at one point seem to have been relevant to the game's development.

Something that seems related to magic and other special animations, presumably filenames of some sort. Starts at 000DC860 in the NTSC-U release.

Items

There are seventeen known unused items in The Sacred Stones, many of which are leftovers from the previous Game Boy Advance game, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. The majority of these items do not have proper names and descriptions in any version of the game, having replaced them all with the word Dummy (Japanese: ダミー Dummy) to reflect their unused status.

Five more items are unavailable in international releases, though they were available in the Japanese version through a one-time only distribution event.[1] Since those events have not run in over a decade, the items are effectively unused for the majority of players in Japan as well.

Gameplay mechanics

Weather

The Prologue modified to have rain present.
The fire 'weather' effect from The Binding Blade Chapter 8x.

All the weather effects from Fire Emblem are present, as well as their movement penalties. The rain, snow and sandstorm, effects are all present. The aesthetic-only fire 'weather', (seen left) used in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade's Chapter 8x: The Blazing Blade and in cutscenes in Fire Emblem is also present.

Mine functionality

Eirika using a mine.
Eirika's mine successfully damaging an enemy.

Mines are, as mentioned above in the unused items section, present under the name "Dummy". If placed into a unit's inventory, they are fully functional. They can be placed on the map and will damage any unit to pass over them.

As in Fire Emblem, it is possible for units with the Silencer skill[2] (in other words, a unit of the Assassin class) to safely pick up Mines and place them in their inventory. Since Mines are completely unused, Rogues were not programmed to be able to do this and do not react to set Mines at all.

Light Rune functionality

Eirika placing a light rune.
Eirika's light rune blocking the path.

Like the mine, the Light Rune item is also present under the name "Dummy". They are also fully functional, they can be placed and prevent any unit from moving over the tile they are placed on.

Dancer ring status conditions

Tethys has used Ninis's Grace on Lute. The marker on Lute's window indicating this was not translated, still reading マモリ.

The four stat-increasing status conditions caused by the dancer rings are still present and functional in the game, complete with descriptions which refer to the ring items by their proper names. However, the text marking the status condition on the unit window when hovering over a unit was not translated and left in Japanese in all localizations.

"Sick" status condition

There appears to be an unused status conditon called "sick". It can be inflicted on units through hacking, but it doesn't seem to actually do anything. Its help description is also blank.[3]

Triangle attacks

Franz, Seth, and Eirika hacked into the knight class and given the 'triangle attack' ability at 0x40.

The animation and functionality for the Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade Knight trio's (Bors, Gwendolyn, and Bath) triangle attack is present. To assign this triangle attack to a trio of units, set their third ability slot to the ability at 0x40. If the units assigned this ability are not of the Knight class the game will instead play the Falcoknight triangle attack animation.

The ability slot location is unchanged from its appearance in The Binding Blade. The animation and functionality for the General triangle attack is also present and working.

Graphics

Map sprites

In The Sacred Stones there are several unused map sprites, most of them originate from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.

File:Ms fe08 wyvern knight unused.gif style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | Appears to be an early version of the Wyvern Knight's stationary sprite. No movement frames seem to exist.
Ma gba mercenary female playable.gif style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A complete "female Mercenary" map sprite set, which went unused in both The Binding Blade and The Blazing Blade, still exists in The Sacred Stones. This sprite was seen in The Binding Blade pre-release materials.
Ma gba hero female playable.gif style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A complete female Hero map sprite set from The Binding Blade is present. It also went unused in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.
Ma gba bard playable.gif style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | Complete map sprites of Nils' Bard class are present.
Ma gba princess playable.gif style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | Complete map sprites for the Princess class, which originates from and also goes unused in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, are present.
Ma gba prince playable.gif style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | Complete map sprites for Zephiel's Prince class are present.
Ma gba transporter playable.gif style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | Merlinus' tent-form Transporter sprites are present.

Battle sprites

Bs fe06 playable shaman female dark.png style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | The female Shaman battle sprite set from The Binding Blade is present and functional, but unused; it is tied to the unused female Shaman class slot and will appear properly if that class is hacked into gameplay. Their matching map sprites were not imported.
Bs fe06 playable druid female dark.pngBs fe06 playable druid female staff.png style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | The female Druid battle sprite set from The Binding Blade is present and functional, but unused; it is tied to the unused female Druid class slot and will appear properly if that class is hacked into gameplay Their matching map sprites were not imported.
Bs fe07 playable archer ballista.pngBs fe07 playable archer iron ballista.pngBs fe07 playable archer killer ballista.png style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A battle sprite set for male Archers using ballistae is still present, leftover from The Binding Blade with the modified hair from its unused Fire Emblem reappearance. If a ballista is hacked directly into the inventory of a male Archer, this battle animation will play instead of the usual map animation caused by the map object ballistae.

Unlike the previous two games, there are no equivalent sprites remaining for Snipers or for female Archers, and attempting to use an inventory-hacked ballista with battle animations turned on with any of these will cause the game to hang.

Bs fe08 mogall critical frames unused.pngCompliled sheet of the missing frames
Ss fe08 mogall critical.gif
A hacked instance of a Mogall performing a critical hit for demonstration.
style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | The Mogall and Arch Mogall each have some frames that don't seem to display properly in-game, which appear to have been intended for their critical hit animations. Specifically, the missing frames are the ones that loop during a cast spell animation. During the critcal animation, their eye's sclera turns black, and their iris red. However, in-game, the loop frames revert to the classes' usual white sclera and a pink iris. The failure to display these frames is possibly some sort of oversight.

Portraits

There are several unused portrait elements in The Sacred Stones. There are also two generic class portraits for some of the classes introduced in The Sacred Stones that go unused due to the class never appearing as a generic enemy unit, as well as some generic portraits left over from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.

Portrait beta question fe08.pngSmall portrait question fe08.png style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A placeholder portrait, a black silhouette featuring a "?". A similar portrait also appears in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade as well as in the Sacred Stones prototype. The small version also functions as a placeholder for units that have a portrait but never appear on a map. There are several versions of both portraits within the game using different palettes.

Internally, the convoy uses the large "?" portrait, but has a custom small portrait to display when the player uses the convoy.

Portrait novala recolor unused fe08.png style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A recolor of Novala's portrait. Likely to be used by a generic Dark Magic user, or royal mage.
Portrait bandit unused fe08.pngSmall portrait bandit unused fe08.png style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | Full portrait set for a bandit, is associated with a character slot, though the character slot is similar to Bandit's, as he is simply given the name Bandit despite having a personal portrait.
Small portrait myrrh winged fe08.png style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | Myrrh's winged portrait has a small version instead of using the "?" small for some reason.
File:Generic portrait wyvern knight fe08.gif style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A generic portrait for the Wyvern Knight class. In the final game, the only enemy Wyvern Knight to ever appear is Valter.
File:Generic portrait rogue fe08.gif style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A generic portrait for the Rogue class. In the final game, the only enemy Rogue to ever appear is Rennac.
File:Generic portrait nomad fe06.gif style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A generic portrait for the Nomad class from previous games is present.
File:Generic portrait nomadic trooper fe06.gif style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A generic portrait for the Nomadic Trooper class from previous games is present.
File:Generic portrait manakete fe06.gif style="background: #222222; padding: 10px; Template:Round; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0; " align="center" | A generic portrait for the Manakete class from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade is present.

Miscellaneous

This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.


Summon

A unit called "Summon" (Japanese: サマン Summon), which appears to be a generic Summoner, is found at character slot 3C. This unit was also present in the prototype, where they were deployed on the debug map. What makes this generic particularly interesting is that there are no enemy Summoners in The Sacred Stones at all. This slot is just after Lyon's phantom's character slot. Its portrait is assigned as generic, which in this case would default to the Druid's class portrait. It has no base stats, and shares its growth rates with Summonern, the only differences between Summon and Summonern are their base levels. The help text associated with them is the Summoner class help text.

Summonern

A unit called "Summonern" (Japanese: サマナーン Summonern), which appears to be a second generic Summoner, is found at character slot 3D. This unit was also present in the prototype, where they were deployed on the debug map. Their associated name string may have been a typo in Japanese, but the typo was carried over into the localization. This slot is after "Summon" and just before Knoll's phantom's character slot. Its portrait is assigned as generic, so it also uses the generic Druid portrait. The help text associated with them is the Summoner class help text.

Dara

Dara has unused unit data as a male Druid.[6] The slot uses her portrait, name slot, and the relevant unused help description detailed above. She does not have any custom base stats, only growth rates. She shares her growth rates with Klimt, detailed below, meaning these growth rates may be some sort of placeholder. Her character slot is at CA.

Klimt

Klimt also has unused character data as a male Bishop. The slot uses his portrait, name slot, and the unused help description detailed above. Like Dara he has no base stats, only growth rates. He actually shares growth rates with Dara, so it's possible the growth rates are some sort of placeholder. This character is located at slot C9.

Messenger

What seems to be the Frelian messenger Pegasus Knight that appears in some cutscenes has a character slot with data. Once again, the slot has the same growth rates as Dara and Klimt. However, this slot does actually have custom base stats. It also has an unused help description associated with it. This character is located at slot CC, near Dara and Klimt, among other used NPCs.

Classes


This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.


Manakete

There is an extra Manakete class slot at 0E. Morva's Manakete class is at 3B and Myrrh's is at 3C. It uses the name Manakete and the Manakete help description. If a character is modified into this class, the standing map sprite is blank, but its selected and movement frames use Morva's Manakete sprites. This class uses the flying movement type and flying weaknesses. It uses the 'regular' walking sound effects, which are normal sounding footseps. It is able to use Myrrh's Dragonstone and Monster weapons. Its stats are mostly identical to Myrrh's Manakete class, though this class has more base Movement.

If a unit of this class attempts to use a Dragonstone the game loads Myrrh's human form before failing to transform and then softlocks. Using any monster weapons, including Wretched Air, defaults to map animations. Assigned the Generic Manakete portrait from The Binding Blade.

Female Wyvern Rider

At slot 20 there is a class that appears to be a female Wyvern Rider. While it is possible for there to be female Wyvern Knights in The Sacred Stones, due to the Pegasus Knight's split class change, there are no Female Wyvern Riders or Wyvern Lords. It is actually assigned separate map sprites, but those map sprites are a duplicate of the male Wyvern Rider.

Bard

There is a class slot for the Bard at slot 46, it uses the above unused map sprites and help description. It uses the generic Brigand portrait, which actually is not unusual for classes that usually don't make generic appearances. It does not have an associated battle animation. In terms of stats and stat caps, it is identical to its Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade appearance, having more constitution than it did in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. It still has the Play skill assigned to it. It also does not have any associated Class changes.

Transporter

This class, which is likely to be Merlinus' Transporter class from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, is located at slot 79. The assigned class name and help description are both assigned to blank slots, its assigned class portrait is the "?" silhouette pictured above. It uses the tent map sprite pictured above. It also has identical stats to the Fire Emblem Transporter. It has the convoy 'functionality' associated with it, but it is not actually able to be used for the convoy. This is most likely due to The Sacred Stones changing how the convoy functionality works due to Eirika or Ephraim having the convoy depending on route chosen.[7] It also does not have any associated Class changes.
