Fire Emblem Binary, named for the group of hackers that created it, is a hack of Genealogy of the Holy War aiming to enhance the gameplay experience. It goes about this by adding several ASM hacks to modernise Sigurd’s quest.

Pursuit is no longer required to strike twice. Every unit can score critical hits without Critical. Split promotions have been added for the vast majority of units. More of the holy weapons are obtainable, and one only needs the correct minor holy blood to use them. Weapon balance has been reformed and new ones added, so axe users are no longer completely left in the dust. Children are now capable of inheriting the “sword” skills regardless of their class, and in addition to that, more skill-granting items are present. The dismount feature from the two other SNES games has been added for all mounted units, allowing mounts to traverse more hostile terrain.

The story is the same as the vanilla game aside from a few minor event changes, so this is not aimed for those looking for a new story. This hack aims to provide a richer playing experience for people with a fondness for the vanilla Genealogy of the Holy War.
