Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War's fan retranslation has been released.

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

Does this mean I could actually see the ending this time?

Yep

so, what's new with this translation, you ask?

• the entire game has been retranslated from the ground up, including everything missed by previous translations
• the epilogue is fully translated and fully functional
• a proportional font has been implemented for gameplay and menus
• the chapter 4 sylvia glitch has been fixed
• the seliph authority glitch has been fixed

 

[Renewed]

I was playing the prologue of FE4 with the new patch and enjoying it. Takes a bit of time to get through and I imagine it'll continue to expand. Music's great (that recruit theme) and animations look good.

seeing the ending is overrated though

Yeah, fe4 has the best recruit theme in the series.

 

[Xbro]

Yeah, fe4 has the best recruit theme in the series.

It's so hard to say which recruit theme is the best. I think they are all amazing. Except maybe Awakening and Fates'

Fe6's version is pretty horrific.

Spoiler

Yes, I know what it is

Funny thing is I was playing FE6 just today and the recruitment theme sounds a bit off. But I'm taking a break from that for now to replay FE4 in light of this new patch.

 

[Draxal]

We should be Getting Fe6 love with in the next week.

Wouldn't suprise me if the set 5 previews start tomorrow(or today in JST).

Is it me or is Hardin completely out of place in this picture?

Female equivalent.

Azura the true queen of fire emblem.

No Caeda but Hardin is kinda funny.

 

[DecoReturns]

Yeah, fe4 has the best recruit theme in the series.

I disagree, I find "With Us!" better.

Also sad to note that With Us! is the last good recruitment theme, Fates had two shots at that.
(I'm not counting the DS remakes)

Edit: FE 9/10 art style was great, hope they revisit one day

 

[PK Gaming]

Extremely excited to play through FE4 again

Hands down the best narrative in FE, bar none

 

[theprodigy]

hmm I should play FE4 for real this time

I'm going to say that With Us! is not the last good recruitment theme. Stalwarts Unite is better

I like "Guest of Shade", Nohr's recruitment theme. The mix of heroic and ominous beat works for Conquest, even if it doesn't have as much energy as past themes. And, in spite of that, it's still more upbeat than the Hoshido and Awakening ones.

They really should have had a true classic style recruitment theme for Revelations though rather than just reusing the two country based ones.

 

[jnWake]

I wish FE4 had an official way of playing it. I try to avoid emulation but I guess it can't be helped for games like this one.

 

[DecoReturns]

I don't really count updated version of songs, but if we are being technical you could say that.

Edit: wait there's a new translation? I'm half way In a run of FE4...decisions, decisions.

When school is over I'll just restart it

 

[jnWake]

If you like to watch people suffer, next GameXplain's stream should have Derrick battling the Phantom Ship chapter in Sacred Stones. I think he streams on Sundays.

Phantom ship is one of my favorites

If you consider yourself a FE fan or SRPG fan in general, please play FE4. It hasn't aged at all. In fact, I'd say FE franchise stopped growing from that point.

 

[Katsuragi]

I hope they continue to release the Fire Emblem Cipher art books at events like Comiket. I'm a pretty devoted FE collector, but I don't think I can justify getting into collecting the cards even though I like (some of) the illustrations quite a bit - I'd rather stick to the books.

i hope they release them as standard releases
i'm not always going to be lucky and have friends at every comiket

if you remembered you ordered the cordelia figure, congrats, she's finally coming out on June 1st

At least she isn't as bad as figma Lucina.

 

[kuroneko0509]

bad as in delays? yeah...

Wow, that USK symbol is so ugly.

Cipher Marker (main character cards for June).

Makes sense. With Kaga's vision lost, the team was likely afraid to move forward, or didn't know which direction to go.

uhhh

ok

 

[Draxal]

It really doesn't though since Kaga did 5 and a lot of people consider it his magnum opus.

I mean don't get me wrong I love 4, but if I weren't to look it at it holistically it does a lot of things wrong (maps are way too large and meandering), and 5 definitely adds some concepts to the series that some people love.

boy i loved backtracking in horse emblem through endless forests though!

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

Sigurd Emblem is also A++ balance while we're talking FE4. I love it but it's nowhere near perfect.

 

[Lunar15]

I really want to give it a shot, but I'm super burnt out on FE right now thanks to Awakening.

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

It's definitely worth playing but it's not the Holy Grail of Fire Emblem some make it out to be. Even of the Kaga games Thracia is much better than it.

Thanks to Awakening? pls it's all about Fates right now

They go for very different takes. I really like 4's take aesthetically, I think 5 makes for a better game.

Midori's bday in Japan.

 

[Lunar15]

That's how burnt out I am, I even forgot which game I played.

 

[L95]

FE4 would really benefit from an order system where you can just make everyone automove

 

[Kurtofan]

In FEF, do green units death count in the first few missions (before the game branches out)?

 

[Xbro]

The only thing that really irks me about FE4 is the lack of any form of trading. Sure you can sell and rebuy items, but then in the second gen when you want to get a holy weapon from one character to another, you can't.

Relase a prettier version of the same game today and the new audience that Fates and awakening brought will leave most likely.

Seisen No Keifu has aged, albeit mostly well, but it has aged. The weapons triangle was really unbalanced in that entry in terms of the bonus it gave and was improved upon in future entri-

[batfax]

I don't think any unit loss before the branch matters, as they just retreat or something. Otherwise they wouldn't be recruitable/fightable depending on what branch you picked.

 

[Javier]

I enjoy FE4 overall, but it has one of the most monotonous gameplay in the series.

 

[Lynx_7]

Oh, I'm very excited to play Genealogy for the first time. Shame I already got spoiled about some major plot points, but oh well.
I'll wait for them to release a more stable version first as it looks like there are a few minor bugs here and there on the current patch. I've waited a long time already, a few more weeks shouldn't hurt. Besides, I'm a little burnt out after Birthright.

Spoiler

Looks like my current playthrough of Sacred Stones is gonna have to wait.

Now they need to do Thracia.

 

[L95]

Now they need to do Thracia.

Thracia is next on their to-do list. IIRC

 

[theprodigy]

Thracia is next on their to-do list. IIRC

oh boy that game's current "translation patch" is sad

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

oh boy that game's current "translation patch" is sad

In America!

 

[L95]

In America!

Man, that is the first time I've been thrown so hard out of a game.

I literally just sat there and stared at the screen for a few seconds when I saw that (then reset to make sure I saw it)

 

[Golnei]

It's a shame there's so little chance of it getting an official NoA translation to properly localise it without the ill-fitting memes.

 

[CazTGG]

It's a shame there's so little chance of it getting an official NoA translation to properly localise it without the ill-fitting memes.

Those "ill-fitting memes" represent 1% at most of the game's overall writing, of which there's a ton of in Fates

Spoiler

also the rawr dragon one's implementation was adorable in how it showed off Kana's character

. Frankly, it's amazing that Treehouse was able to improve upon the source material that Fates provided because, being frank, Fates' three stories are varying degrees of "not good" with Conquest as a potential low point for the series for its pretentious, repetitive dialogue and Birthright barely rising above being okay. It's like saying Ocean's Dragonball Z "ruined the original" because they went with saying "over 9,000" and forced it into the show instead of saying 8,000: One largely unimportant decision, however one may like or dislike it (for the record, I loathe memes in general), is not a fair representation of the game's overall writing. Focusing on the meme is a largely fruitless effort when there are legitimate grievances one can have with the translation i.e. spelling errors, the potentially culturally insensitive to Aboriginal ties one can find with Keaton and the wolfskin, etc.
