Hack description

Warning: patch it on a Japanese rom (Seima no Kouseki)

This is pretty much just a rebalance hack but with cute Touhou girls.

The RAR contains a skill guide but if you're familiar with fe8 and Touhou you might don't need a guide for it. There is no recruitment changes and if you forgot something then find a way to figure that out lol.

triangle attack changed to bond attack consists of 2 friendship or family groups:
group 1: Reimu, Marisa, Sanae
group 2: Remilia, Flandre, Sakuya

features:
- unique costume classes
- if it's Touhou then difficulty must be increased (meaning increased enemy stats)(also play on Ephraim mode)
- playable Touhou cast
- new skills (might be buggy)
- new portraits
- new animations
- you can promote units till 15 up, 30 is maximum level limit
- over 40 max stat caps on every stat, HP is maximum stat doubled(which is 80)

It has potential but still needs work	Shiansukai	2022-02-26	Version 1.5b
As a fan of both Sacred Stones and Touhou, it's been a lot of fun to revisit the game with new characters to try out. I enjoy the way the classes and abilities are divided between characters. The sprite changes are welcomed and open the doors for a lot of potentially cool ideas (Reimu looks great). The portraits look unfinished but it's nice to see a FE hack without recolored lords for a change. The main issue I found was with the balance. The "increased difficulty" is more like a difficulty spike. It's barely noticeable on regular enemies and it comes out of nowhere in one chapter when you suddenly have to deal with never ending cavalier reinforcements. Some of your units (mostly Alice and Suika) are also way too strong, even for Sacred Stones standards, and can easily reach level 15 in a couple of chapters. Reisen is unable to attack at all but that might just be a bug. Despite that, as it is, it's worth checking out, if not just for the novelty of being able to use Touhou characters in a Fire Emblem game.
