Fire Emblem Fates/Regional Differences - The Cutting Room Floor

Someone sent me this link a few days ago to a wiki that does an excellent, excellent job of pointing out regional differences (and other interesting facts) about all the FE games! The link leads to the Fates page, so check it out!

Personally, the trimming down of the S-support conversations was the thing that irked me the most about the English version…

And after being nearly bedridden for the last 2-3 weeks with the Covid symptoms yet again, I am seriously considering giving up even trying to write, keep up with social media or any community, etc. Really hate to do that, but I can’t keep up, and occasionally attempting to try seems to be having a negative effect on my physical and mental health. But, we’ll see. I will leave everything I’ve written, I just won’t dare to write anything new unless I have a really good, headache-free day or something. I miss being able to think clearly, speak normally and breathe comfortably. Even now I’m making a huge effort to write through a mind-numbing headache, and had to do tons of editing. –; And I miss tasting things properly. It’s been nearly 11 months now since I got Covid, so I don’t know why I’m still so sick. Doctor thinks I suffered some serious nerve damage, and can’t be sure it will ever heal, but…guess we’ll see. At their recommendation, I’ve somehow been able to keep up with a light exercise routine, and while it hasn’t seemed to have hurt anything (except maybe making headaches and dizziness worse sometimes), it’s not helping my energy levels and respiratory symptoms, either! ><

Just wanted to share this video, because I really enjoyed it. While if/Fates isn’t the best in the series story-wise, I still really enjoyed it and put lots and lots of hours into it. (Mostly support grinding/grinding in general, lol. That’s how I spend approximately 75% of my time in any Fire Emblem game that allows infinite grinding, actually… Am I weird?) I have always wanted to see the full story concept as originally written, though it would be a bear to translate, and something I can’t do right now, maybe never. Still, I wish it would be released so someone else could translate it.

My only real beef with the North American localization was the paring down of a lot of the S-support conversations, the removal of the spicier S-support treehouse lines (they really made Corrin & spouse seem like a real couple to me!), and the decision to not translate the festival DLC. Overall, I prefer the Japanese version of the game.

Reminds me, I want to get out the game to look at the Ghostly Gold DLC… The text that pops up for each character when they first attack is different between the English and Japanese versions, and sports some of the weirder localization changes. I specifically remember Hinata’s for some reason: in English, he says something like he can “almost smell the bacon and eggs,” which is very much NOT a type of meal you’d eat at a traditional Japanese breakfast, and that just struck me as such an odd line. In Japanese he talks about how hard it was to stay awake all night, but is now excited, fully awake and ready to spar. He does not mention any sort of food, if I recall.

FE3H Translation Comparison: Two Support Convos (Sylvain/Ingrid C, Byleth/Edelgard C)

letshuntforbears:

I started working on this post well before I got Covid, so this post and one other have been stewing in a document on my PC for a year or more. Wow. I’d say thinking of that makes my head hurt, but my head always hurts…

So this first change is pretty well known, I think. I’ve seen it mentioned in a couple of other places.

Q:

i hope you’re well! any plans to ever return to finishing translating? the ghostly gold translations sound interesting.

Sorry for the late response. …I don’t even know how long this message has been in here, so I’m very sorry! I’ve got two half-written posts about Three Houses to finish (started before I got Covid-19, so they’ve been waiting for about a year, whoah), but after that, a more in-depth post about the dialogue changes in Fates’ Ghostly Gold seems like a great idea! I don’t think that’ll be too demanding on the brain.

sorry

I’M WHEEZING

Yep, there’s a glitch in the English version where, in the Mess Hall, one of Shigure’s voice clips is replaced with one of Kiragi’s, making him sound, erm…terribly intoxicated, maybe? xD 

Selena, just what DID you put into that food?!

Reblogging because this gave me a good laugh today! I needed that, hehe.

So glad the new FEH banner gave me a great summer weapon for my favorite unit. Ready to slap some people silly?!

(On another note, that fish must be VERY stiff, considering how straight it is. xD I don’t wanna get slapped by that thing. Also, why can I not find a “fish slapping dance” tag?! It’s a really short Monty Python skit that also happens to be one of my favorites.)

If you wield this in crimson flower, you actually can recruit flayn.

This is my favorite comment! Clearly this is just a ploy to lure Flayn over to the Imperial side, because they have giant fish.

Curse You, Stupid Virus. CURSE YOU.

Hey. 

Just rambling here to let know I am alive.

I thought 2020 was going to be a good year for writing, playing games, hanging out with people online, and doing other stuff that you can pretty much do at home. And it was, for a few months. 

But in September 2020 I caught what turned out to be Covid-19. It was a little different than what I’d expected. (I never had a fever! The whole time! Since I got sick, I often have great difficulty speaking–has anyone else with Covid had that issue?? Where your vocal cords and lungs just tighten up while you try to talk and and you have to make a conscious effort to force air into and out of your lungs while you speak? Leading to really weird, labored breathing while speaking? I haven’t met anyone else with that problem and my doc hasn’t either, so I’ve been told it’s just me. It doesn’t always happen, which also baffles me. I’m really curious if there is anyone else out there with the same problem.) I still can’t taste or smell properly, either. 

But the main reason I haven’t posted lately is because the brain fog, fatigue, headaches, and confusion can get really intense. It’s so bad that I’m refusing to play new games because I would probably have great difficulty learning new controls or following an unfamiliar storyline. I don’t have that issue with familiar games and I have tons of them, so I’ve been replaying a lot of simpler, familiar stuff. (Especially old HM/SoS games, yay. And RF4 Special Edition (English), which I finally got last month. And FE: Three Houses, which I got a few months before catching Covid and am utterly enthralled that the text language changes with the system language, so I did not have to buy separate English and Japanese versions, like I did with RF4. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!….but I I rarely play in Japanese right now. On PC, I’m having fun playing with Sim versions of video game characters. As usual. That’s a lot of fun, if you’re into The Sims. They can do such wonderfully random out-of-character things.)

So yeah. Anyway. I’d really like to encourage people to be supportive of any friends or family who caught Covid-19 and are dealing with after effects from it, because they can be really intense. My brother, who got it at the same time I did, told me last month that he too has fatigue, brain fog and frequent headaches, to the point that he has difficulty focusing on tasks at work or following the plot of games, TV shows or movies. But at least he’s skilled enough that his work allows him a fair degree leniency, and he still gets his tasks done. Other people haven’t been so lucky. 

All guidebook interview translations, translation comparisons and other posts are on hold for the foreseeable future. If I can find or remember any really simple stuff I wanted to talk about, or simple observations I made, I may try to post. But nothing long or in-depth. (And to be honest, my brain is so fuzzy that the “list” I had stored there has pretty much vanished. Ugh.)
