Well you have to understand that for fan translations, translators range far and wide. That being said.. I am JLPT N1, semi-fluent in Japanese, and have lived in Japan for a bit. (I actually just moved back yesterday). BrunhildeKnight is JLPT N3. Iris in a Bottle is JLPT N1 and works as a translator in Japan. PotatoPower can only read/comprehend game-related Japanese (but is incredibly accurate at that). Has fan-translation experience. KentoBento is actually Japanese. Hitomi is JLPT N2 (iirc) and is undergrad in Japanese (to-be interpreter). Orange/Razer also formerly lived in Japan for 2 years (I think they worked as an interpreter?) Lots of fan-translation experience. Master of Memes is at least JLPT N3. Shadowofchaos725, I don't think he needs explaining :p -- Note: JLPT does encompass the Japanese culture into it too. None of us in the group have any trouble relating it (and mixing it in). Also, let's be real. Treehouse's translation wasn't bad. Their localization also, wasn't THAT bad. (See: Takumi: "Well, mold my onions.") In fact, knowing the scope of their job, they did pretty good. The only thing is, we just don't like it.

See: OP: "Tutorial in the works."

A tutorial is in the works. (I would recommend downgrading if you hate repatching and want online features.)

edit: oh

Yes. And we don't want to be responsible for it. (Not that we are, but we'd still rather not be a source of the problem).

It's highly inadvisable to modify your actual physical cart. It's just not a good idea, and if you can dump the game and edit that instead, why would you risk the integrity of the cart when you could just modify an exact copy that's designed to be a "sandbox" of sorts? And using a cfw (iirc) doesn't actually patch your cart. The tutorial will have you dump the rom from the cart first, then you'll patch that instead (therefor also retaining the safety of your physical cart).

You will lose all features on another 3DS. If you use HANS, you'll have to repatch every time you launch the game. (So your 3ds that doesn't have homebrew wouldn't be able to patch it regardless). If you patched the rom / generated custom cia on cfw, you don't have to repatch. Note: The cart can't be modified, so you'll always lose features.

The reason you can't find a fan script for the NA version is cause we haven't released one, lol. That's a topic you can read about in the OP of the restoration thread.

Dump rom and generate xorpads (there are tutorials on this, the other Team If thread has some, and xorpad confusion can also be found online, SniperBear's video also was quite nice). Input both into patcher, download swimsuit file patch, unzip, tell patcher to use those files. Generate .cia with files (I prefer .cia, but .3ds is fine too), install with fbi/bbm. Permanently patched!

Well, please don't do it here. This is a support thread, not a vent thread, and even angry venting is not justifiable. As to the names we use, we simply used the names that everyone was most familiar with months prior to the release of Fire Emblem: If. And to agree with Czar_Yoshi's statement, it's true. A notable amount of fan-translations these days use machine translation, not real translation. Every translator on our team human translates, we have turned down machine-based translators before. (Heck, translation also requires knowledge of Japanese culture. Machines don't have that. And you don't need it for names.)

To patch the DLC itself, a downgrade is absolutely necessary at the moment. However, some patches don't actually access any DLC content, so the actual necessity of downgrading itself is questionable.

More or less. And we already have the third path :^)

We already confirmed that ourselves, and said yes, it would.

If you have FBI why use Homebrew? Just install the patched Fates as a .cia, you even retain online features, and no need to repatch.

More or less. There's probably slight variations, especially with the NA SE having IK on-cart.

HANS is a soft patch. And yes, HANS does require physical cart in this case, iirc

RELEASE - FIRE EMBLEM FATES: SWIMSUIT RESTORATION Thanks to the efforts of DeathChaos25, the first release of the Fire Emblem Fates Restoration Project is here! The patch file can be found in the OP. For patcher use, be sure to decompress the file before having the patcher read it! Our tutorial is still in the works (A picture version is also being made), so for those HANS users who don't know how to use it, please sit tight! (Or someone here can probably teach you). REDIRECT TO OP: CLICK HERE.

Well we'll be making their payment worth it :p

I found them on Google. Lol. (You can also use Danbooru, Zerochan, and Konachan.net (or Konachan.com for nsfw) if you want them...) If you want my current pic, I waifu2x'd it here: https://aww.moe/tpkcxl.png

Read the title ("Please read OP")

The patcher is just for those who're using cfws to install or play a version of the game. It relies on patch files, none of which have been released. When we release, it'll be updated in the title. A patcher-compatible swimsuit patch is already done, and is in testing phase right now. An undub patch (compatible with patcher) is entering testing tomorrow, and the tutorial is in the works. If all goes well, we should have a release by this Saturday! Note: The tutorial is for HANS users. CFW users will need to wait if they would like a specialized tutorial for this patch.

No, I think you misunderstood. The Amie was officially dubbed in English, but then Amie itself was completely turned off.

A small update, DeathChaos25 (who joined us) has confirmed that there are actually dubbed Amie lines that can be used. You know what this means (Amie restoration should now include English dub instead of Japanese).

We're working on them!

10.6 support is only limited for now. Smealum and the others will probably release new methods in the future.
