did any1 play on maddening difficulty yet from start to finish? is it complete or still buggy? cuz hard mode is a joke and is ruining my walktrough

 

it works 100%, though it might still differ from the official release, as I think they will tweak some stuffs here and there, hence the delay to release it rather than be included in the game right off the bat.
From my point of view, the primary source of difficulty comes from
- the enemy level (often 6-7 levels above mine in the beginning), thus giving you the incentive to play as many optional battles as possible to grind your levels up;
- archer's poison stab. Enemy archers are now a huge problem that I always seek to take care of first.
- Same-turn reinforcement. This thing definitely forces you to use divine pulse from time to time.
- The enemies also got a huge bump in their stats. I notice that enemy named-AIs often have similar or even higher stats than my own units of the same class. For example in the mock battle of Eagle vs Lion, enemy Hubert was 20 points ahead of my own mage.
- The movable boss thing is a joke. Was looking forward to this but so far only the death knight moved and the other bosses still just stupidly wait idly for their death.

Unfortunately I don't think Infernal is playable in its current state. I read that all maps either have only lv 99 units or no enemy units at all (thus preventing you from even completing it).

 

it will NOT** differ from the official release..--(this is Official-Release) lol ... only way it would Change Any at all . they would have to Do another Update and or DLC-Patch**-(that's only way)..
what's included in as of now, is Everything it Can Offer for them... Plus Don't Forget.. this isn't Made Completely By Nintendo like old Days- they was.. So they also now have to rely and work with the Co-Company in Terms of DLC and also Patches and updates for it..

This is An Offline Game By Default , not Online -( like a Multiplayer Client-Server -Online only Game)-(means it needs and have to play online -
whilst this game is and can be Completely offline.. otherwise u couldn't be using Editing and cheats codes like we do..)

 

Again , what's included in the Game right now will not change Unless** they release another update of sorts and or DLC or Patch* only way it will Change anything..

Here's Some Examples.. and some references ..
Online games over offline games**
Multi-Player Client-Based Games*

This is an OFFLINE-Based Game**

 

This a *Off-line** Game meaning the ONLY** way for it to Change* they would Have Too** do a *Soft/Hard-Updates*-(Which Consists of Either- DLC , Patch , and or just Normal Update**) -- NO other way***..

 

Is there gonna be a pool to edit the game itself? (enemy lv, stats, gear, skills, player growths, ect). i'm kind of rippin to make a 3 houses rom hack right now.

 

yes, the Waves-Contain* the Official updates**-( Soft/Hard-Updates).. then it WILL** Change accordingly .. not until then...

Go Here**
it's more up to date...

Adding more details to it.
1, I find that Sothis will disappear after ending a battle day. But Jeralt won't disappear.
2, After Sothis disappear, if I open the save file in save editor, it seems that Sothis's codes are all set to 0. She is now level 1, all her flags are unticked. Her inventory is empty.
3, I tried editing an existing character slot into Sothis (to isolate the problem from empty save slot), the issue still exists.

(Claude/m!Byleth S support spoiler videos, don't click if you want to avoid spoilers!)

Warning: Spoilers inside!

It's not much, but until we have a proper gay 3H romhack... it's still something. Still a way to gay marry your faves, albeit not perfect.

what i initially did:

Warning: Spoilers inside!

- saved before the final choice of who to S support. (I was playing as male Byleth)
- used the save editor to export my male byleth, then imported a female Byleth from another save right on top of male Byleth, overwriting him
- imported back my original male byleth, so now i had 2 byleths in my roster, one male and one female
- the game now seemed to recognize female Byleth as the "main" Byleth. She was the one i could move around the monastery with as well as the one who appeared on the battlefield and in cutscenes. so when asked to pick an S support option, i could pick the ones available to her, including Claude.
- i picked Claude, saved, won the final battle, saved after it was over

At this point, my original intention was to use that after-battle save to save edit male Byleth back into being the "main" byleth to see what happened if i did...

...Except I didn't. Apparently it wasn't even necessary.
For some reason, right after the final battle, the game automatically started the Claude S support cutscene with male Byleth, even though the "main" Byleth was still female Byleth. And this is the result.

If anyone else wants to try this with another same-sex pairing, i'd like to know if the same also happens to their Byleth!


(This is far from perfect though. Right after the Claude/m!Byleth blank text slide in the final credits, another slide with m!Byleth/Dorothea appeared, this one with text saying they got married. I think this is the game choosing a random spouse for the 2nd Byleth)

EDIT: I just tried to do what I was originally planning: in the after-battle save, i removed the additional Byleth (female byleth, who has turned into another male byleth for some reason) and when i loaded the save, everything was the same except the additional m!Byleth/Dorothea slide in the credits was gone! So that's all you need to do to avoid it.

EDIT2: after testing with some more charas, i've decided to rewrite this post so it's easier to understand the steps. In this example, you're playing as male Byleth.

STEPS
1) save before the final choice of who to S-support, then open that save in the save editor
2) export your male byleth's .character file
3) open it in HxD, go to 0x24 and change that byte from 00 (male byleth) to 01 (female byleth).
4) import it back into your save, overwriting male Byleth. now you have female Byleth
5) open the game and choose who you want to gay marry, then save again.
6) in the save editor, import your male Byleth back into the new save, overwriting female Byleth

you can now continue playing normally and at the end you'll gay marry your fave!
