| Pineapple said: It's not a complete crisis if Fire Emblem 12 isn't released over here officially anyway. A fan translation project started a bit after E3 (they waited until they found an official release very unlikely), and Fire Emblem fans have a track record of being pretty brilliant at translating titles. The original Fire Emblem, Gaiden, Mystery of the Emblem and Sword of Seals (FE1, FE2, FE3 and FE6) are all close to perfectly translated, and the Holy War and Thracia 776 are pretty damn well translated too. The language translated into is pretty decent too, I'm not sure I'd say the officially translated language of Fire Emblem 7 is a much better than the fan translated language of FE6. In other words, Fire Emblem 12 will get a (nearly) impeccable fan translation anyway. While it's obviously somewhat of a loss to not have an official game, it will still be perfectly playable. What it indicates for Nintendo of Europe and America importing future Fire Emblem games isn't that great, though.
By the way, have you people played many Fire Emblem hacks (what would be called mods for most other games)? There are quite a lot of great English ones, and some absolutely amazing Japanese ones. |
Nice to hear! I've not played many fan translated games (ToG Wii...) but if this comes out I'll have to give it a go!
