The translation's almost done on FE5/Thracia 776, so I might play that one next.

My bad, I was looking at the wrong game. This one's done up to Chapter 6 and uses the menu patch as a base: https://serenesforest.net/forums/in...ype-menu-and-script-translation-through-ch-3/

Alternately there's the old Shaya patch which has some menu issues, but translates almost all of the chapter dialogue (minus a few character epilogues).

A little off-topic for Three Houses, but I'd been wondering if Genealogy (being the 4th Fire Emblem of course), would be getting the remake treatment.

New entries aside, we had Shadow Dragon for DS (remake of 1), an unported 3DS remake of FE3 (New Mystery of the Emblem), and the 3DS remake of FE2 most recently.

If Switch is the only Nintendo platform going forward, that would make it a Switch Remake of it? Though opinions may vary on whether the Switch is a combination 3DS/Wii-U successor or just an odd hybrid system.

Slight correction. It was an unlocalized remake of Book 2 of New Mystery of the Emblem. Since FE3 is already a remake of the first game (Book 1). It was also on DS, and not 3DS. I'm pedantic, sorry.

I'm actually really liking the look of this game. You see a new mechanic in the form of troopers that, dare I say, remind me of Advance Wars a little bit. The art style is not nearly as trash as Fates or Awakening either, so I can only hope that the translation team somehow isn't treehouse or 8-4. It's either that or basically calling down a miracle for treehouse to localize the game and not fuck it up.

Thank you, I'm least-familiar with the unported entries by far, and I have very little direct experience with New Mystery in particular. Better to have actual facts than my half-remembered info on that stuff.

That person definitely only played Fire Emblem 7, Awakening, Fates and called it a day, but I guess that is the standard.

There's a surprising number of fans now that are only familiar with Smash and the mobile game now, actually. On reddit, it was a minor event when the mobile game subreddit population shot past the actual series sub (kinda impressive for a game that's been around a year).

Still is, if you remember to instaskip everything that has dialogue. If you don't, it's your loss.

Wait, Fire Emblem has a story? I played FE the same way I played Advance Wars.

It was a bite-sized tactics game good for smoke breaks.

They share a common origin. Fire Emblem happened about 30 years ago because Shouzou Kaga wanted to make another Famicom Wars type game, but with more traditional RPG elements added on top. Like with any other series storytelling quality has varied. I haven't played all of them yet, but Fates (particularly the Conquest route) was the only time I started skipping dialogue\cutscenes out of annoyance. The others typically tell a decent to good story, or at least one that is inoffensive enough (your usual hero's journey type stuff) not to obstruct enjoyment of the gameplay.

That isn't surprising considering it has several million regular players. Anyway, between older FEs and the Saga series, there's plenty to keep myself busy until Three Houses is out.

As long as all that shit continues to be insta-skippable. Does it matter if it's in a school or a war if every single character & line and cinematic shot is pure distilled shit?

Persona Emblem.

Even the character design was strikingly similar to Soejima's.

It's not surprise, sadly. Waifu Wars approach basically saved Fire Emblem if Awakening was anything to go by.

Most of the best games in the series were also badly handled from a marketing and release standpoint. Cancelling the Nintendo 64 FE, leaving Thracia 776 to languish on an outdated console. Berwick Saga outsold Path of Radiance in Japan...that had to have been embarrassing for Nintendo\IS. Then the print run of Radiant Dawn was so limited that scalpers could sell copies for $100 on Ebay in a matter of months.

It looks more thought-out than Fates from what little I've seen of the plot\story, not that it's a high hurdle to clear. I'm more interested in whether the mechanics are a step up from Conquest.

Gamexplain had some interesting analysis. They caught a lot of stuff I missed.
