I started on this a long time ago but never quite finished it...but it's the closest I've ever done to a finished FE hack regardless.
Version 1: http://www.speedyshare.com/files/19776232/fe8e.ips
Version 2: http://www.speedyshare.com/files/19776280/RR.ips
The first one has funny text editing for like, the first two chapters, but I'm not sure if the stat changes are as up to date as in the second one. So I recommend checking out the dialogue changes in Version 1, then when they stop, restart and play Version 2.
EDIT: after testing, I determined the dialogue changes indeed stop after Ch1.
Below are all my notes I made during making this. So if you need to know anything, you should prolly look there.

The idea:
This hack gives people who join very late a very good playtime, and vice versa. It also makes an attempt to balance characters, while keeping most of their use the same. In addition, the storyline will be changed to super short conversations, intended to be humorous since they will make little to no sense whatsoever.
The whole game recruitment reversed:
Eirika - Syrene
Seth - Kyle
Franz - Knoll
Gilliam - Duessel
Vanessa - Rennac
Moulder - Cormag
Ross - Ewan
Garcia - Saleh
Neimi - Dozla
Colm - L'Arachel
Artur - Marisa
Lute - Tethys
Natasha - Gerik
Joshua - Innes
Ephraim - Amelia
Forde - Tana
Kyle - Orson
Orson - Myrrh
Tana - Forde
Amelia - Ephraim
Innes - Joshua
Gerik - Natasha
Tethys - Lute
Marisa - Arthur
L'Arachel - Colm
Dozla - Neimi
Saleh - Garcia
Ewan - Ross
Cormag - Vanessa
Rennac - Moulder
Duessel - Gilliam
Knoll - Franz
Myrrh - Seth
Syrene - Eirika
Some suggested switches/changes:
1. Kyle and Orson are a bit awkward (they're still in the same chapter), and so is Myrrh's extremely early join time. Put Myrrh where Kyle is in the old game, put Kyle where Eirika is in the old game, and leave Orson what he is: a traitor, available for all of one chapter. Alternatively, make Myrrh the unit that's available for one chapter, so that Orson becomes a permanently playable member. First version will do the latter solution.
2. The prepromotes that now join very early will be quite overpowered, while the latejoining units that are unpromoted are underleveled. The obvious solution is to promote/unpromote them, and substract/add some level averages.
About this balaning thing.
Syrene - Can stay as the prepromote Jeigan thing with her usual bases.
Kyle - same
Knoll - same, but lowered to 5/0
Duessel - gets unpromoted, given his 13/0 averages, but joins at 5/0
Rennac - Can stay promoted, with crap bases, but great growths, a la Sedgar/Wolf but less so.
Cormag - gets leveled back to 3/0
Ewan - same.
Saleh - is now a Mage with somewhat random stats, may be changed later
Dozla - same. Fwahahaha!
L'Arachel - Stays the same.
Marisa - same.
Tethys - same.
Gerik - put down to 4/0
Innes - Stays the same. He's already got to deal with being a Sniper.
Amelia - same.
Tana - same.
Myrrh - same.
Orson - same.
Forde - should be put at about 7/0
Ephraim - should be put at about 7/0
Joshua - 13/0
Natasha - 16/0
Lute - 9/0 Mage
Arthur - 9/0 Monk
Colm - 20/1 Assassin
Neimi - 18/1 Ranger
Garcia - 15/1 Warrior
Ross - 10/8/0 Pirate
Moulder - 15/1 Bishop
Vanessa - 15/1 Wyvern Knight
Gilliam - 15/1 General
Franz - 17/1 Great Knight
Seth - 1/0 Cavalier (the Est/Nino of this game)**
Eirika - 20/5 Great Lord

** Seth will get stats he would have if he were 20/0, but with a really low base level:
20/1 - 30/14/13/12/11/8/13
20/0 - 28/13/12/11/09/7/13
Put him at 1/0.
