Wine was just repurpoused as giving you an extra use on the turnwheel, because most units in the game couldn't actually drink it as they were underage (in the Japanese version), meaning alcohol was only marginally useful. All they've done is make something that was fairly useless useful. Nice try, though, treehouse cuck.

Is this being localized by NoA? Because if it is I hold them to extremely low standards, they are the public toilet bowl of localization, just fucking disgusting, needlessly censorship heavy and love shitting out meme's from it's mouth.

>>376936761
Fair enough. 8-4 made some questionable changes in the past. Didn't they fuck up Gunvolt more than Awakening?
>>
>>376937295
Considering Awakening was almost universally viewed as a good translation that was outright better in a number of areas and Gunvolt wasn't, yes.
>>
>>376937396
That's purely because, as already stated, Awakening didn't have obvious visual changes, and so its shitty script changes were not as widely known. For the nth time already, Awakening's localised script is every bit as shitty as Fates' was.
>>
>>376937396
>translation
>better than the original
Isn't that an impossibility?
The point of a translation is to accurately replicate the original in a new language. How can you "improve" the original?
>>

>>
>>376937587
Its changes were known ages ago and general opinion has barely budged, you moron. How old do you think that Henry image above is? Maybe you shouldn't be falling back on an image that's been widely used by shitposteres here for years.
>>376937630
No it isn't impossible if the original script is bland and repetitive, which is a regular problem when translating from a language with a more limited range of options to express ideas.
>>
>>376937396
>>376937630
I wouldn't say Awakening was particularly better, but I would say RD's explanation for how Ike beat the BK was better in the gaijin version
>>
>>376937630
Not really an example of a "good translation", but Kid Icarus Uprising was almost completely rewritten because the original Japanese script would be pretty forgettable in the West.

You might think of it as a bad thing, but it worked really well. People still talk about Hades to this day because of how great of a character he was in the Localized version. That was completely due to the script being rewritten; If they 1-1 translated the original script, Hades would be a really generic villain.
>>
>>376937838
>Its changes were known ages ago and general opinion has barely budged
If you think that the backlash over Awakening's shitty script was anywhere near as heavily focused on as the backlash over Fates' shitty script + censorship + removed gameplay elements, you are delusional.
>an image that's been widely used by shitposteres
Ah yes, it's shitposting because it's presenting an obviously butchered exchange, and that goes against your narrative of Awakening's localisation being good.
>when translating from a language with a more limited range of options to express ideas.
Good job exposing yourself as a retard, Japanese writers like Kinoku Nasu are praised for their highly expressive writing styles, something that mirror-moon's shoddy translations failed to capture and instead heavily simplified.

You're dodging the question. Just because a given Japanese word is more context-sensitive in its meaning doesn't give the translator license to change the meaning of the text. I don't need translators to give their own unique, quirky spin on a character, I need them to accurately communicate the meaning of the original.

>>376938032
Sure, if you want to do a rewrite then do a rewrite. But don't rewrite shit and call it a translation, which is what >>376937838 seems to be advocating.

>>376938216
There's a menu patch out, try it for yourself.
>>
>>376936810
>getting so defensive when people prefer to experience an accurate version of the authors work rather than some hack's fanfic take on it

Yes, butchers, because the two characters on the left are not the same as the two on the right.
>>
Effie was a shy girl in Fates
In localization she is a buff wymyn eating a lot.
Why? What's to gain in her? There's no context to be lost in a shy girl in armour. There's no japanese influence westerner will misunderstand. Why the fuck change it?
>>376937630
It happens once per million localizations so you may as well disregard that as a posibility.
>>
>>376938428
I'm not saying it's unlikely, I'm saying that because of the nature of translation it's literally a fucking impossibility.
>>
>>376937630
>How can you "improve" the original?
That's simple to answer anon, because those who think they're "improving" the original are the only ones who see a problem that needs correcting in the first place.

Or to put it another way, here's an example: https://web.archive.org/web/20170406201302/http://www.gamesradar.com/would-you-play-an-elder-scrolls-that-explores-drug-legalisation-xenophobia-and-refugees-in-a-fantasy-world/

If you read the comments of that, you can see that most people are telling that simple-minded fuck to play the actual game, where the IS illegal drugs, refugees, racism, etc.

But since it isn't some pseudo-leftist political allegorical game where refugees are innocents and they're hated by racist "republican" nords, or where the town's guard isn't killing dark-skinned people who "did nuffin worng!" or where people are rotting in jail because "DUDE! FANTASY WEED! LMAO!" of course he didn't think it dealt with those issues.
>>
>>376938428
>It happens once per million localizations so you may as well disregard that as a posibility.
This. For every rewrite that results in something much better, like the Black Knight's story in Radiant Dawn, you get a hundred rewrites of stupid bullshit like the entirety of Fates. It's not a tradeoff worth the risk of shitty localisers making shitty rewrites, and that's disregarding the issue of rewrites being shit and disrespectful of the original work in the first place.
>>
Anyone else worried about it? It seems to have a lot less buzz than Fates did for a lot of reasons - the fact its a remake instead of a new game, the fact the Switch is the hot new thing for nintendo fanboys and fangirls, Fates legit burning a bit of goodwill in the West with the new and old crowd, etc.

I feel like it'll underperform compared to A/F and guarantee we're not getting anymore FE games even vaguely aimed at the old fanbase and it'll permanently go full steam ahead for the new style of them with the Switch FE
>>
Btw does anyone know if everyone else (German or French) use the English localisation ?
something like that Dialogue between Saizo and Beruka?
>>
>>376939153
The worst thing about its inevitable poor sales will be that we won't get any future games with Hidari art.
>>
>>376939153
You're not thinking about it correctly.
IS knows that the game won't sell well. It was just something thrown together by their B-Team while the A-Team is working on the Switch game.
Echoes is to the 3DS like Sacred Stones was to the GBA. A filler game.
>>
>>376939224
Call me whatever you'd like but I actually liked Saizo and Beruka's C Support
It established their mutually respect for one another as assassins but also the suspicion in their facial expressions for each other as assassins which ties in well to the rest of their support considering Saizo's actions changed Beruka's life forever

About to get to Chapter 5 in the Japanese version, I can't think of a single thing that would warrant censorship but I can already think of few dialogues that will probably have shit added to them because of how short and simple it is, if the first hour of gameplay of the Celicia route in English I saw is any indication of how they're handling it.

Do you mean the novels? I had no idea they were being localised anywhere. I also have no idea how it'd be in your country's version, but it's probably worth checking out, since it's one of his better works. Just make sure you don't accidentally grab the fourth book or something.

No, see, I'm someone else. The main person you were talking to, who thinks knowing about a popular Japanese writer makes you a filthy problematic weeb, is an American translator who thinks he can somehow improve upon the original work (i.e. he is a glorified fanfiction writer).

They're either SJW types like Ben Bateman and Treehouse who want to use it as an opportunity to "fix" their perceived problems with Japanese culture while they bring games to the west, or they're failed fiction writers who think that a translating job is the perfect place to exercise their lacklustre creative writing skills.

>>
>>376945972
The part where the original is only saying she can use lightning magic and not emphasizing that it is "big, hurty lightning", which both sounds stupid and makes her sound childish, and the part where the original is her mocking Boey's ability to only use fire while the localisation has her adding an entirely original line about roasting marshmallows.

So, you know, the rewrites are the parts that are fucking rewrtiten, you goddamn idiot.

The subtle part was "You can only use fire, huh?". It doesn't take a genius to figure out the implied insult in that statement, compared to the extremely exaggerated and direct insult in the localised version.
But then I'm not American, so maybe it does take a genius to figure that out in America.

Because the rest of the script from the hour of gameplay this was from was all fairly straightforward and even rather flavorless. It was literally just this one line from Mae that people are bitching about because it just completely destroys the establishment that she and Boey have such a bickering relationship with each other.

The two lines in question.

>>376947554
>She has a childish tone of voice, that means she talks like a retard
No.
>>
>>376946286
I'm not defending it, but Mae is quiet childish, she is needlessly competitive to Boey in just about everything much like another red headed twin tailed character, the main difference is that it is solely targeted to Boey and she is genuinely nice and not a tsun. Her immaturity is actually a part of their supports where freaks out when it dons on her that she is actually killing people with her magic. In addition, she assumes that Boey is only pretending his indifference and normalcy to one up her in their situation when she confronts him about it.
>>
>>376947690
I'm not sure what any part of your explanation has to do with the blatant rewrite that is the localised text.

How is this worse than the original lines? Same message with a little humor sprinkled in. She's a bitch in both versions for putting the guy down.

My Japanese is shitty, but how would you translate that? Sure, I know you can't directly translate the tone and shit like ボーイなんて. Sounds like your typical Japanese teenager in anime and shit
>>
>>376947806
the original text has her stating her supremacy to Boey in front of Celica. in short she says that my lightning magic is better, while he only has fire magic. That it, while there is no mention of hurty or marshmallows. just very matter of fact. Whether you like that or the 8-4 translation is up to you, just giving some background on her character.
>>
>>376946965
Actually aside from Mae's long being exaggerated I noticed that Boey's line before that was changed too. In the Japanese version has says that he's coming because it's not safe for two girls to travel alone, but that gets dropped in the English version.

French here, the French translation is almost a copy paste of the English version. Some stuff are weirdly translated because of that like
>Niles' title is "amant et châtieur" because "cruel to be kind" in French is a whole long sentence. "Amant" means lover, "châtieur" means punisher, it makes him seem like Niles fucks married women on a regulat basis. The translation of "cruel to be kind" should have been "qui aime bien châtie bien" for reference of how much they fuck up
> they're perfect way to translate "handsome" in French so in chapter 18 of Conquest when Ryoma and Xander insult each other, Ryoma says he's "more seductive/sexier" than Xander instead of "handsome"
That's all I have right now. They didn't even change Benny back to Benoît even though Benoît is a really common name in French.
>>
>>376949664
しか+negative makes it mean "nothing but". Back to Japanese class
>>
>>376949890
But doesn't that make it saying "nothing but useless fire magic", rather than "nothing but fire magic"? If it's the latter, then how would you write the former?

Useless fire mage would be 使えない炎の魔法. 使える does mean "to be useful", but it is also the potential form of to use.

Are you all seriously going to argue that Dark Conflict was a better translation job than Days of Ruin?
>>
>>376950012
使えないノ炎の魔法 is what I think useless fire magic would be and an overly literal translation of the latter would be something like "if it's not/other than fire magic (pronoun) can't use.
So, as a localisation I would say something along the lines of "All you can use is fire magic."

使えない is the negative potential of 使う.

使う = to use something
使える = to be able to use something (potential form)
使えない = to not be able to use something.

the particle しか is used in the construction noun + しか + negative verb and means the noun is the only exception to the proposition expressed by the negative verb. The western mind can usually wrap itself around Japanese grammar better when read backwards. So to break the sentence down:

使えない = (You/I/He) cannot use something.
しか = what comes before this particle is the only exception to the negative verb.
炎の魔法 = fire magic

"(Boey) cannot use anything except for fire magic" is the most literal translation.

You can also translate it to "Fire magic is the only thing you can use" which is the more common structure for rendering a しか phrase in English, since it's the same logical meaning but is more natural sounding English.

Also, the original has a じゃない on the end which is NOT negating the sentence. It's just used as a rhetorical device. So the meaning is something like "Fire magic is all you can cast, right?"

This ends my impromptu 日本語文法の授業

As for translating it, translation is hard. It's a fine line between being clinically literal or taking too many liberties. I definitely think Nintendo takes way too many liberties with their translations, but on the flip side you have Persona 5. P5 stayed very close to the original Japanese in meaning, and people were freaking out about what a "shit" translation it was because it was slightly awkward in a couple places.

Nip games have a niche that is eroded when localization teams dumb it down to levels western audiences can understand.

Foreign games (like books and film) should be used as a way to learn about foreign cultures, not converted to work in the markets they are sold in.

you can "improve" the original if you're an arrogant fucktard who thinks he knows better than the original creator. Regardless of whether the fucktard actually knows any better or not, regardless of whether the characterization changes butcher, improve, or outright change the characters, it's still a disrespectful and arrogant undertaking to alter the original creator's work when localizing it.

I actually started translating Heroes' dialogue out of curiosity. It made me appreciate the localizers more, because it is very difficult to articulate a lot of the nuances of Japanese into English without making each one sound pompous or like an ESL.

I actually found a lot of my own substitutions were the same ones they went with, and I was being as sincere as possible. Some things get snipped, like 4 words said at varying pauses equating to "My comrade whom I am deeply close to but share no familial bond with, we take care of each other, so please take care of yourself." becomes "Allies help each other!". That's the same deal as Sharena friendzoning you in NA and being very clearly into you in the JP, though. Their localizers have a huge agenda against sentimentality.

This may surprise you as someone who has clearly never studied another language, but language proficiency is not a binary on/off toggle, and rather a matter of constant studying for years over many levels of gradually improving competence. It is entirely reasonable for people to be unable to play a game entirely in Japanese but want to hear the (original) Japanese audio, particularly given that Japanese is much easier to speak than to write as the writing system is some tedious memorisation bullshit.

Finally got him. What a battle that was. My top three ended up being Alm, Celica, and Delthea. Est also ended up pretty high, but that was because I grinded the hell out of her and even then Catria and Palla out did her. What a useless bitch she is.

Listening to the music is really making me hype for the game, and that it's basically the Zelda 2 of the series so I'm really interested in it. Are the dungeons actually interesting or are they just hallways to walk down while fighting enemies?

>>
>>376964483
The first few are very simple, but the last few can be a bit troublesome. The post game dungeon is a ten floor gauntlet with no saving in between and a superboss at the end.
>>
>>376964483
They're just hallways with enemies really. The only trick to them is that you can only bring 10 units in with you and fatigue persists through the dungeon, but this really isn't as taxing as you might think it'll be since you'll have an abundant amount of food to keep stamina up.

I honestly wonder how people would feel about the Fire Emblem localization if petting never existed in Fates.

The issue was just Fate was just a awful story and the characters were awful.

>I mean the one and only thing people seem to talk about in Fates about the localization outside of the petting is "..." and that's it. Not saying it was stellar writing but it wasn't horrible.
Saying that doesn't make it true. Fates' localisation is garbage and its consistently garbage all over the entire script.

What a lot of words you used to say nothing at all. The images provide the original text, NoA's localisation, and an accurate translation as a point of comparison. They then provide an analysis of how NoA's localisation changes the scenes and the impact this has on the characterisation.
If you think the given translations are wrong, then explain why they're wrong. If you think NoA's complete rewrites are somehow more accurate then you have a lot of explaining to do.

Delthea at least has the reward of getting a huge nuke if you grind her although in little to no grind runs, she won't get to do much. Est is just Palla/Catria who joins later and doesn't even get to do anything that the other two weren't doing before then.

I'm not sure what's good or bad for FE, but it sold half of conquest/birthright combine opening week, is it that bad for a faithful remake of what most people call the most shit game in the series, and worst of all, has no MU so they can waifu everyone?
>>
>>376967106
It also helps that Delthea is a mage and although frail you can use her to melt enemies right when you get her so long as you're careful enough to not let her get near any physical enemy. Est is just a pain.

>>376966890
>I don't know what prose means
>They provide an "accurate" translation

It's not a matter of the accuracy of the translations, it's that the prose is garbage and the analysis willfully ignore that the point of the conversations are the same, but because they aren't a 1:1 wording, they're bad. Just look at the complaints about the Leo/Xander support. The person who made that spends an entire paragraph complaining about one line, as if it's some huge tragedy, and explains absolutely nothing from it.
>>
>>376966459
The S in SRPG stands for simulation, in the case of Fire Emblem it's usually war simulation, though sometimes they simulate other things for the hell of it, like matchmaking, or dungeon crawling in Gaiden's case.

FE is in a huge boom right now because of Awakening, Fates, and Heroes. Echoes sold worse than SD and NM, the remakes of Marth's games, despite the surge in popularity the series has received.

Western sales are the only hope it has of not being a flop. The only real solace is that it probably didn't cost them much to make the game since they've already had the engine for the game ready.
>>
>>376967587
Yuro SE is more expensive than US's to compensate though, and I feel like overall the Echoes limited edition doesn't justify its price (amiibos or no amiibos) unlike Fates limited edition which did

I think nintendo gayhouse is not doing the translation for the game. So I'm hoping it isn't as bad as fates.

it did LITERALLY nothing to change how Nintendo is currently looking at FE's popularity, they most likely at ISIS said to nintendo "Hey you know how our old time fans are all bitching about how the new games are shit and pander to casuals and waifu fags? Well can we put together a B-Tier team and start doing remakes, which we say right now won't do amazing but will sale some while the A-Team makes the main series with Waifus and sells tons?"

>>376967625
Alm's Regal Blade was better, Alm himself was shit my first time through the game, that "Twin Lions" brave sword type attack skill is busted as all hell though. If anything, Silque is the best unit in the game, her dread fighter summons alone are ridiculously useful distractions, but she also gets Warp pretty early for pulling assassination shenanigans with, or doing dumb shit with archers and mages and moving them out of the way afterwards.

Something about how when they fought, the BK was only there in spirit or some stupid bullshit like that as a result of him using warp powder. I think it might actually be a mistranlation of how using warp powder makes you weaker.

In the localized version, the BK states that he didn't go all out because he thought as Ike would grow, he'd become closer to Griel as a swordsman, and give him the challenge he truly sought.

>>376969428
What did you enjoy about Gaiden? Any tips on how to handle the class system for the villagers?
>>
>>376969516
I guess playing the black sheep of the series after playing the other Fire Emblem games felt different enough for me to enjoy. Felt a lot different from the other games and I liked it.
The whole world map thing, the way villagers, promotions and "dungeons" worked. How everyone always had a weapon and a spare item slot to use for equipment. Being able to control and manage two armies at the same time, instead of jumping between viewpoints like other games. The story, while being simple as fuck, works out well and is actually ok. Then there's some system mechanics that I thought were neat like magic costing HP to cast and everyone having a set spell pool, or the fact that you only need 1 more speed to double the opponent.
Maps are jank as fuck like everyone's been saying though. Other than that I thought it was a lot of fun with it.

For the Villagers you want to promote them as soon as you can because of the way promotions work. That also goes for promotion in general. The generally agreed on promotions for villagers are
Grey>Mercenary
Tobin>Archer
Kilff>Mage
Atlas>Mercenary
Faye>Cleric or Peg. Knight; also she's really fucking great and useful as a Cleris, she can also put in work as a Peg. Knight.

>>
>>376970676
What about Sonia/Deen? I've read a lot of people say that Sonia got nerfed hard and is worse than all of the other (female) mages now while Deen got major buffs, so he is 'optimal' character to choose.
>>
>>376971076
Not him but Sonia is still good. She has really useful spells like excalibur and got a teleport. Aside from losing out on arrow I didn't really notice any serious nerfs. In the end it just comes down to preference.
>>
>>376971076
It isn't as cut and dry like in Gaiden. It was more like you get a ok Merc in a route where you should already have a bunch of good Mercs by then compared to a really fucking good mage in a game where magic is really strong; although Deen himself wasn't a trash unit by no means you're gonna end up picking the better unit.
In Echoes it's more of a preference I guess so you pick whichever one you want. Personally I went with Sonia, but that was before finding out about her nerfs, and she still put in work, but Dread Fighters will always be good fucking units.
>>
>>376970676
Kliff got nerfed as a mage in the remake because those two extra levels needed to get Excalibur hurts him because of his terrible base speed in the remake even more so when you actually want mages because the cavs/pegasi aren't in top form yet.
>>
>>376971939
Sonia's biggest nerf is probably the loss of Angel in a route filled with monsters. Excalibur will still put in a ton of work but that really hurts her.
>>
>>376971076
Sonia was my fastest unit for me. Excalibur and generally low RES carried her average damage
>>
>>376971973
He still has the best spell pool out of the villagers though so I still think Mage should be the recommended.
That, and the fact that his ending has him as a canon mage.
>>
>>376972074
Can't she still get Angel as a Cleric, or does Echoes not let her keep it as a spell upon reclassing?
>>
>>376972074
Angel. Fuck I knew I got the spell wrong. She lost both Arrow and Angel, but she still put in enough work for me to use her.

>>376972226
She'll get it, but she loses out on excalibur and thunder. Fire too, but that's not as useful.
>>
>>376972226
She only gets it as a Saint which is a ton of grinding and I don't think you can pass it over.
>>
>>376972446
>loses both Arrow and Angel
Seems like they went to a lot of effort to nerf her considering that Mae, Delthea and Deen all got buffed. They really didn't want you to pick her huh?

>>376972709
>Delthea
Doesn't exist in the same route as Sonia until post game.

Doesn't have Excalibur which hurts her AS big time against things where Fire/Angel doesn't cut it.

None of them if this is your first FE. I'd start with Blazing Blade, Path of Radiance, or Shadow Dragon if you don't mind something really dated. If it isn't then it depends on what your looking for. If you want a challenge then play conquest, birthright if you want to just stomp of shit, or echoes if you want something different.

There is no doubt that she'll murder everything when she gets going and it doesn't take much time for her to do that in the first place, but her paper thin defenses and late availability hurt her.

Saber has a reaction if it's Celica who dies. He calls Celica oujou-chan and he brings it up if she falls. Genny does say that she wants to be pampered by someone older, but doesn't have any interaction with him and the both of their endings remain the same regardless of if one of them happens to die. Genny does have a support with Sonia who is ten years older than her though. But that's for yurifags and you can avoid getting Sonia entirely. The Japs seems to like it though. In the end who she marries is just up to your imagination.

Ultimately it's just Gaiden with a fresh coat of paint and a bunch of QoL changes from the newer games that make it a lot more bearable to play.
If you had issues with the original Gaiden outside of game speed or UI accessibility/presentation you will probably have the same issues with Echoes as well since it's a faithful remake. Sure Milas' turn wheel makes the maps way more bearable to play, but that doesn't change the fact that the maps are still jank as fuck.

The first time I played final fantasy X, I really did thought that priest girl was retarded or had some sort of mental disorder.

It actually made me think of the story a bit more interesting because i knew she was going to fucking get it at some point until it dawn on me that was an attempt of building a character.

There's currently no reason to believe there's anything wrong with the localization.

>b-but muh hurty lightning

Literally the only line that's even slightly suspect in over an hour of footage.

If you weren't a /v/ermin following the herd you'd be most concerned about the godawful gameplay.

Its weird how Silque and Sonya are the only girls who don't get paired off with another character or some random nobody in their endings, and Sonya gets implied witchhood.

So Silque's the best
>>
What does Echoes even have that might be censored anyways? Yeah Awakening butt was fucking dumb but Echoes doesn't seem to have anything close to what Fates had.

IIRC Silque says that she was a missionary of sorts to begin with so I'm not surprised, although I was kinda half-expecting for her to end up with Jesse since they did meet before she gets captured.

Silque is their own personal waifu, while Sonya is their least favorite and they wanted to make you feel bad for not choosing Deen, their preferred choice. They also created Faye as a cruel joke, turned Catria into a soulless husk and had Est taunt Palla about not having a boyfriend in their support.

Alcohol was removed before the release of the Japanese version of the game and only exist if you mine the game,s data.
>>
>>376985472
Technically not really. The alcohol is still obtainable in the game, just the ability to consume it was taken out before release.

That is why Catria > Palla > Abel's horse >>>>>>>>> Est
>>
>>376985472
While you might can make the case you could find lots of ideas that never actually made it into the main game through data mining. Not dismissing the idea NoA talked to IS about it but it just as easily could be IS just didn't feel it should be in the main game.

I only played awakening so far and i'm gonna pirate this one too unless it's raped as hard as fates.
