I like the idea they have but the name just doesn't feel like it would fit in Hoshido
or well, whatever kind of version of Hoshido Treehouse is going with dropped letters and cutting names in half

Yeah I don't know if it's just Awakening had shitty JPN names but the localized name all more or less improved.
Fates is just.... Ugh.
Syalla didn't really fit Hosbido as well. I honestly think Rhajat is a better name for Tharja than Tharja itself.
Cordelia and Gaius are going to be hard names to work around.
Leiadorc and Suiga are my attempts to invoke Dorcas.

you do realize just because they use an anagram once doesn't mean the other two will as well right Draxal
see this is where the localization™ part comes in, cause I can't see that working especially for Cordelia

All three of them are anagrams in Japan, it wouldn't surprise me either way.
Celiador, Iadolerc. Man, Cordelia's is a pain.
It is, however, an anagram of Guire, the NOJ romanization of Gaius' Japanese name. (Don't ask me why that is the NOJ romanization, but it is lol)
Dropping the R gives you something close to one valid transliteration of an Arabic given name as well. Given Plegia's vaguely Egyptian costuming in Awakening, it's probably intentional.

I'm having a hard time to believe that it's a good decision.
I'm just gonna refer to NotTharja as Raj now
Maybe Matoi and Gurei will be Desdemona/Emilia and Iagus. You can keep the Shakespeare theme from Cordelia's English name, which Iagus would fit with as well as being an anagram.

Those are just Nohrian names in terms of the setting.

no one will realized it
You can tap the fast forward button on the touch screen and it acts as a toggle so you dont have to hold down A.
The problem is that you cant set it as default so either u tap it every time u initiate battle or deal with holding A.
I don't think it'd be inconceivable to end up going with something more European-sounding for those names despite Matoi and Gurei being Hoshido characters - look at Corrin as opposed to Kamui.
One of the original characters from #FE, I think. I haven't been following it much, so I'm not sure.

like we're casting a spell for mother earth?
not like it matters since I doubt they care how any of these names are supposed to be pronounced

probably to say gbp is shit is kinda more accurate (or not...) 165 right now compared to last month 185 >.>
Awakening is my first Fire Emblem game, and my first real japanese SRPG (I got about 5 hours into Jeanne D'arc once.) So I'm still learning a lot, really enjoying it though.
There's so many people though! I just beat chapter 14 and another person showed up. I've only got two people married (
) and found their kids. I've got the core characters I like to use, almost all of them have been promoted, but I'm sad I'm leaving so many behind. There aren't as many risen showing up on the map, I know I can use reeking boxes to try to grind the people who are behind but I doubt I'll ever use them in the real chapters, but I bet some of them are awesome.
Argh, too many choices!

You can use the bonus teams from the bonus box/spotpass to grind.
I tried that, but they never drop anything - no builion, no items, so I feel like I'm wasting my items on them. I hate durability by the way.

There's a Barbarian skill called Despoil that gives a chance of luck based money drops after beating an enemy. The Leif Sword also has the same ability.

Well, I could be wrong, but I believe Chrom is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Holy War era.

Everything in the future is Chrom.
Isn't his daughter's stripping skill really useful?
theprodigy
Member
I didn't think so, from my understanding it was more of a joke skill. (I have played Fates, but I didn't bother with kids, I was gonna wait for the localization on that and a few other things.)
No, it doesn't actually remove weapons or anything, it's just a graphic thing.

the defense debuff is still something
Oh yeah, forgot about the -3 def debuff.

Yes, he's a bit more lanky and has a much longer beard.
EDIT: Hm... Fates spoiler. I think the Fortune teller might be the
Rainbow Sage? The rainbow sage is another human-form dragon that shows up in Fates. IDK why he'd be your fortune teller. If they aren't the same, they share a portrait.

So, what difficulty will you guys do your first playthroughs of Fates on?
