I know making a FE1 fantranslation might seem kind of pointless now that we have an official one for the Switch. The idea was to make this for Gaiden.
But what the hell? It's a limited edition and the translation looks like ass, anyway.
So here is Project Elitist (Because two PEs weren't enough): a FE1 fantranslation in 2022.
The text is a bit ugly, I know, but I was trying to fit as much text as possible since space limitations is what forced the other patch to butcher the script.
I'm not exactly a great coder, so this is the best I was able to do.
BUT WAIT! WHAT IS THIS?!
HandLn? Maji? SKnight?
Shouldn't those be Javelin, Maji and Cavalier?
Yes, this is one of those translations.
But I know how this goes: if I don't use the names used in the localizations, someone else will.
This is why this is going to be separated in two versions: Elite and Paragon. Elite is the one I'm currently working on that is more faithful to the original script and Paragon is a quick edit of Elite with the names used in the localization.
Now, let's talk about the most interesting part of this little project:
I also translated the manual!
I feel like this is extremely important for such an old game. This is where you find the game's plot, item's info and all sorts of important advice.
It's a part of the experience and people shouldn't be forced to use guides like chumps because the manual is missing. (Specially in the weird case that someone starts the series here.)
About Paragon
Paragon is a simple enough concept, but I want to make something clear: I'm not using names from the FE1 localization, ironically enough.
FE1 has a lot of weird name choices that make no sense: Wyvern Knight, Skydrake Whip, Master Key...
I'll ignore them in both translation. For example: Elite: Dragon Knight (DKnight), Wyvern Whip and Thief Key. Paragon: Dracoknight (DKnight), Wyvern Whip and Lockpick.
Also, I'm only using NoA names because I don't want to make three versions of this shit. Elite has Nabarl and Akaneia; that's close enough, isn't it?
Anyway, what do we have so far?
Elite: -Most of the menus are translated
-Only chapter finished thus far is Chapter 1 (But there is dialogue from other chapters translated
-The manual is translated
