The eighth game in the Fire Emblem series, the third release for the Game Boy Advance, and the second to be released outside of Japan. This game stars the royal twins of Renais, Eirika and Ephraim, as they try to find out why neighbouring kingdom Grado attacked their land and investigate into rumours of the Demon King being revived.

Sacred Stones brings back many features last seen in Fire Emblem Gaiden, such as a world map the protagonists navigate before battles and freely repeatable skirmishes that allow the player to grind up strength if they are struggling. It also introduces split promotions, allowing a unit to take an alternative route for their growth.

Join Chester and pals as they set off on a journey to defeat the Bad Guys™. Rotate through three groups of unique playable characters with a shared convoy, accelerated experience gains, three "lord" units, changing prep shops, and a plot that actually makes sense (sometimes).

The hack includes:

[list]
[li]15 Chapters[/li]
[li]Three converging groups of “heroes” with their own lords[/li]
[li]1.5x exp multiplier across the board for quick level ups[/li]
[li]A prep shop that changes its inventory after each chapter[/li]
[li]Skills (courtesy of Circles et al.)[/li]
[li]Daggers (thieves only, independent of the weapon triangle)[/li]
[li]Other weapons that change things up (+more)[/li]
[li]Magic Missile (Anima Tome, deals physical damage)[/li]
[li]Nerd Slayer (Axe, effective Vs. casters)[/li]
[li]A lot of F-Bombs (maybe)[/li]
[li]A comical, non-serious tone[/li]
[li]Practically zero character development[/li]
[li]…and more![/li]
[/list]

You can’t laugh at it, you can only laugh with it.
