Prototype Information

(Revised: 27th August 2009)

Introduction

FE7 proto title screen.png

This page contains information about the two known prototype/beta versions of the game, which were made publicly available by Eirika and Tanks. The game was officially released in April 2003 (in Japan), and these prototype versions were created around 2 months beforehand. As such, they are unfinished and also contain a number of changes from the retail version.

Download Patches

  • PLACEHOLDER 0206 version
  • PLACEHOLDER 0219 version


(The versions differ only slightly. The major differences are listed towards the end.)

These patches are for the North American version of the ROM. Instructions for patching can be found here

Note: These patches are not for playing purposes. Also the prototype versions are in Japanese.

Beta CGs

A fun little extra is that most of the CGs don’t have the grainy sepia layer (like in the retail version) and are, instead, in full colour. Some of the CGs (mostly the later ones) are just black and white sketches though.
