Thanks for updating that. I hope to get a chance to play through it soon and if I notice any bugs I'll let you know.

This is so cool. Thanks for doing this! I was hoping someone would one day get around to updating the names to the official NA localizations. One additional request, I noticed in the screenshot above it uses the name, "Mamkutes" for Tiki's class. Could this be changed to Manaketes or Manakete (same number of characters) since that's the official English localized name? Also, are these to be patched over Robert's English patch or a fresh ROM? Thanks!

I'd be happy to put the word out on the Fire Emblem subreddit and see if we can round up some play testers there. I didn't even know about this patch as I don't regularly visit here. I only found out about it because Mega Koopa wrote up a history of Fire Emblem fan translations and mentioned it there. So a lot of other people probably don't know about this either. I'd been hoping to see a more up-to-date patch for Gaiden with the official name localizations. So I'm glad you've taken that up. Is that the same as you're doing with FE3? Or what kind of updates are you making there? I'm not really aware of the status on fan translations on that one.

Thanks for updating this patch! You should upload it to Romhacking.net. I didn't even know about this patch until I saw it mentioned in a FE translation history Mega Koopa put together and posted on the the Fire Emblem subreddit. I'm glad to see Gaiden getting a little love as it seemed like it was one of the last that still needed a little polish to update the names to the official translations. You mentioned you were still working on it. What are your further plans for the patch?

Thanks everybody for the information and advice! I really appreciate it! It sounds like the main campaign is the best starting point so I'll begin with that. I'm really excited to play my first mainline Fire Emblem game. I've played a lot of Heroes and I've really grown attached to the characters so it's exciting to get a chance to see the stories play out firsthand. I'm looking forward to it!

Hi, I'm looking at starting playing Three Houses for the first time and given the new story DLC just released I'm curious if people would recommend playing Cindered Shadows first to unlock those characters for my main routes playthroughs or begin with the original campaign? Part of me wants to have everything available from the get go when I do the main routes and have access to all the possible characters and other gameplay features. The other part of me worries the DLC story might spoil or "ruin" a main campaign playthrough with some of the salient plot points presented as something the players would already know as potentially the DLC would expect you to have already beaten some or all of the routes? Or maybe it presents a truncated version of the original game's introduction into the story assuming that you've probably already played it? The other thing is this would be my first mainline Fire Emblem game and I'm curious if the DLC gives you the same introduction to the game's mechanics as the original campaign does? I've heard the DLC is harder than the main campaign. I'm an experienced gamer and I'm fine with a challenge, but I'm more concerned about being dropped into the deep end without a proper explanation of the game's mechanics as again potentially the DLC already expects you know those things? Regardless of whether I start with the DLC or main campaign, would people recommend I read up on the game's systems and mechanics before I begin playing so I don't botch things up too much or just go in blind and let the game teach me? Thanks!
