Paragon is a toolkit for editing and creating editors for FE13, FE14, and FE15.
It is the next iteration of FEFEditor and FEFNightmare. Unlike its predecessors, Paragon operates on an entire ROM instead of individual files so that it can see common data between files, tables, etc. This leads to a more streamlined editing process. You can edit most data in FE13, FE14, and FE15 using Paragon, though FE14 (Fates) has the most features currently. While Paragon is still in an alpha state, it's already more stable than FEFEditor.
Installation
Paragon releases should require no dependencies. Download the release for your operating system and run.
