  1. 1. What kind of wiki should Cipher have? Explanations for these choices are in/around post 160

    • Serenes Forest wiki
    • Dediciated wikia
    • Either option is fine

In accordance with the official site update, I've updated the tentative section of the translation Spoiler Tag with Est and Catria's information. I'm only missing the quotes from their cards for a more complete translation.

Thanks for spotting that, consider it updated! You are absolutely right, wording is key in card games. When compiling that list I tried to go back and edit the earlier translations to match the better wording established in other cards later, but I definitely missed some things. Another thing I tried to do is keep the single-Kanji-symbol system in place that the Japanese cards use to denote certain rules without taking up too much space, thus the Legend at the top. Let me know if anyone can think of better one character symbols that represent those ideas to a western audience...the "special" symbol in particular is one I imagine not as many people are familiar with and wouldn't immediately understand the meaning without having to consult a manual. There's definitely a distinct advantage that the Kanji system has in terms of readability, so that has been particularly nagging at me in terms of a complete localization of this TCG.

-CHANGELOG-

-Rewording on Chrom's Skill 2 thanks to eclipse

-Changed the wording of the "Sisterly Ties" Skill to sound more natural/fluid

-Added CSS and FS to the Legend

-Added "Est" and "Catria" cards to Tentative section

I quite like your legend, it makes life a lot easier!

One suggestion; perhaps it wouldn't hurt to add the Attacking power and Supporting power of each card along with skills, range, etc.?

For card games, wording is really important. It's the reason why there's weird issues in games like Yu-Gi-Oh!, where "sent to the graveyard" doesn't trigger effects that require the card to be destroyed, etc.

It definitely is, that's why I tried to establish some terms in the first post so we wouldn't have to guess which things are the same as each other and what stuff means.

One suggestion; perhaps it wouldn't hurt to add the Attacking power and Supporting power of each card along with skills, range, etc.?

Might as well add cost and promotion cost and get all the information in one place; it'll make it easier to transfer everything to the wiki once it's back.

Thank you so much, Aubergine, for all the work you've done on this. And everyone else as well, I don't mean to exclude anyone, but the amount of effort Aubergine's put into the translations is just fantastic.

Much appreciated, but really this has been a team effort. I greatly appreciate the extremely extensive groundwork laid down by Dan and everyone else before I came on the scene. That first post made things much more easier having established a glossary of terms to work with. Then there are the many of you who have taken the time to read my work entirely and post your thoughts on how to make it sound better, which is more than I could hope for, so really thank you all!

This is a great idea and I'll work on updating the "compendium" later on today. I'll also add the cost and promotion cost as per Dan's appended suggestion.

Having all that added, the only thing left is the "affinities" on the left just below the costs. Obviously we have Dragon, Mark of Naga, and Falchion affinities which have been pretty well detailed due to the numerous abilities that center around those, and we also have some obvious pegasus/air born unit affinities for the flying unit we have so far, which will no doubt affect the damage those units take from archers. But, there are others that are strange like the obvious guy/girl affinities and the weapon affinities that we don't have much information on yet. I guess I can add them, if only in name, for now if only for informational purposes.

Apologies for the double post.

Alongside the updates to the "Spoils of War" spoiler compendium discussed before, I've also finished translation work on Vaike's card. I took some localization liberties instead of direct translations on the attack names to better effect I feel like. His first skill translates out to "fighter's expertise", but I wanted to follow something closer in flavor to the official localization work done in Awakening. It's interesting to note that his support skill's direct translation is really Attack Emblem, but I didn't really feel that flowed well, so I changed it to be his class though this might need to be reevaluated if another card that's not a fighter has this same skill.

Thanks for everything, Sir Eggplant! This is a hell of an undertaking, and it's so very awesome! :P:

Since it's hard to figure out which stats correspond to which cards, I've taken, well, everything, and added separators to it. IMO, this info would be good for a tentative wiki, even if the game itself isn't due for a month and a half (at least).

Thanks a bunch for the spacer idea elipse! I've since added it to the new entries, which speaking of I have five new cards added to the Cipher Compendium. I didn't want to keep spamming up/double posting the thread since news is pretty quiet, so I just decided to wait and build up a few cards for this newest update. It's the five newest cards in the top of the spoiler tag below.

I did have some notes on one card of the new batch. Wrys' Support Skill is called "Healer's Emblem" just like Maribelle, so I translated it out to match their respective classes instead of using the uninteresting sounding "Healer's Emblem". The weird thing here is that Wrys' version of this is functionally the same as Maribelle's, but has additional wording to clarify the parameters in which it is able to be used. Wrys' specifies "opponent" whereas Maribelle's simply said "attacker" but it's a defense support skill so it wouldn't be able to activate on your own turn anyway (besides who would want to prevent themselves from using critical hits?). They both function the same though, so I wonder which card has the most up-to-date wording in reference to the official cards.

-Compendium Changelog-

-Added Caeda, Abel, Athena, Olivia, and Wrys to “Completed” – 2015/5/13

Niiice, thank you! Pretty impressed you managed to the translate those: it must not have been easy with the bad image quality!

That Caeda is amazing! Select the weakest target to attack, wham! +1 card of your choice! I assume that's probably going one of the ultra rare cards

Abel's pretty darn good for 3: He has his own mini triangle attack (which is easier to do) and I can see his passive ability being really useful against rear-row based decks.

Wrys...... well.... I guess he really was replaced by a vulnerary.

I'm wondering something (which we'll probably only know with the official rules): Can a player start with this Athena as their Lord? I mean, she's unpromoted so in theory you could, but... She's 2 cost with a restriction added on top of it.

The Vanguard wiki stole all of our work without crediting it... link

EDIT: They did give credit it turns out, but I feel that it should be done at the top rather than somewhere at the middle...

I guess it's somewhat a nice way to spread the TCG around I guess?

Yeah, that was me who made that blog post. I put the credits at the bottom, but then I started adding translations for cards since I know people are lazy and all that and overlooked the fact that now the links were in the middle and were easily overlooked. I have since fixed it and put the links at the very beginning.

I figured that since I knew there were FE fans there and this game is similar to that one, that it was a good place to put that info. I know I got one friend very interested in the game and we talk about it frequently now. It also seems I got people who like good art interested by posting the preview art of the if cards in which the royal family fights their counterparts lol.

You know, it never occurred to me that linking the source was never really a thank you. Ugh, I need to stop overlooking things...

Seriously, thanks guys! I'm super embarrassed...>.<

EDIT: I put a thank you in bold just below the linked credits, which, as I will reiterate, are at the very top of the page now. It goes: title, links to sources, a thank you, rules/gameplay, card art samples, then card translations.

Once again, thanks! And I do apologize for any trouble and/or misunderstandings I have caused.

I was hoping that the Marth card that would get sleeves was the SR one. I guess there's still hope, though. Kinda surprising that Tharja got sleeves and not Tiki or Caeda, though. I would love me some Tiki sleeves.

That's nice.

I assume they're to protect the cards when you play with them? You can tell I haven't played a TCG in ages.

Will be useful for the holographic cards, I'm sure.

You do use them for the holo cards, sure, but you put your whole deck in them. After all, you are gonna need all your cards to have the same back, lest you get accused of marking your cards (and thus, cheating). You're also gonna want a playmat (a hard surface will warp your sleeves after a while) and a deck box (to put all the cards in your deck in a container that can take a reasonable beating from normal wear and tear). For this game, since everything is done by cards, you'll only need a die when it comes to game supplies (for determining who goes first in a quick and easy manner while also marking who is your Lord). By comparison, Yugioh needs a method to keep track of life (typically a calculator, and there are ones out there meant for this exact purpose), tokens, counters (maybe even different kinds, since there can be multiple kinds), along with a coin and die for card effects.

And with all that, you can tell I've been playing TCGs for years lol. Just figured people who haven't really played TCGs who want to play this one would like this kind of info, is all.

Do we know what size these sleeves will be (or rather, the size of the cipher cards which I'm sure they will be sized for)?

I may not get the cards themselves due to not having anyone to play with, but I'd love to be able to use those sleeves for my Magic decks.

Just as a general rule, it would be good form to contact the parties responsible for doing translation work before posting it somewhere else. I just want to go on the record that this sort of thing makes me extremely worried to post anything I do, as most people don't actually treat translation work with the same respect you would give any other work of creativity. I don't mean this to come down as a "don't steal work" kind of thing, but rather more of "I want to know where my work ends up being posted" since that's something I feel anybody who has worked on this translation process, and any other artistic endeavour deserves.

Anyway, I do appreciate the enthusiasm. I can understand wanting to spread the word, so thanks for that! I don't mind you using it as you have, post facto, but I would hope you would at least ask in the future.

Yeah...I am beating myself up over this. Kinda the first time I've done something like this, so I was unaware of the etiquette. I knew at the bare minimum links would be appreciated, but that was rather it. I really do apologize. I can make up for it by helping to spread the word more and using my wiki edit skills (I am rather experienced and have taught others how to edit) when it comes time for that. You know, if that counts for anything lol.

As an FYI, I hope you don't mind I altered the translations a bit to limit confusion among the people there. I used CFV terms as opposed to MtG and used the Nintendo localization names over the fan ones (though, it's really just "Navarre" over "Nabarl"). The audience is people who play that game, but not necessarily MtG and may not be all that knowledgable of FE. I bet at least half the readers of my blog have only ever casually played Awakening.

So yeah, sorry and all that. Was a little over enthusiastic and all that lol.

EDIT: In the interest of giving to a place that I have received so much from, here is the page to contact the admin you would contact when needing a favor from the CFV wiki (as I have heard talks about borrowing the template there):

And here is how to contact the admin who made the template:

http://cardfight.wikia.com/wiki/Message_Wall:NeonRiser2134

I do honestly hope this info helps and I am willing to ask them myself, as I have talked to them (albeit briefly) before.

For those asking questions about the sleeves, the size given on AmiAmi is 67x92, which is the same size as the standard KMC sleeves, so they should also work just fine for MtG or Pokémon, or any other cards or card games that use that same size of card.

Speaking of which, ordered a set of the Chrom ones, since it's my favourite of the 4. >_>

Not sure if it's been pointed out yet, but the product description for the Booster Box was updated on amiami.

It now has 'Advanced promotion card of TCG Fire Emblem 0 vol.2' as well, as a bonus along with the Minerva DLC code.

EDIT:

I'm waiting for a f!Kamui sleeve, if it ever happens.

Those are some pretty nice sleeves!

Most of my decks have those transparent super cheap sleeves (they do the job just fine) and I own only two sets of "good" sleeves, mostly because I never found any I liked the back design of. These are definitively more along my taste, except for the 25th anniversary one. I might just add some to my order; at worst the sleeves pack is big enough for MTG decks (60 cards). Although I'll probably wait a little while to do so: my first pick for sleeves art would be the super epic Great Lord Lucina art or the basic Cherche art and I suppose there's a tiny chance that we're going to have more available before release.

We'll very likely get some FEif-based sleeves before Series 2 comes out, and probably more designs with each additional expansion, but I'm not sure if we'd get more Awakening sleeves once they start promoting the newer sets. I am indeed kind of surprised that we didn't get a Lucina art version, but Chrom/Marth makes sense for the two decks, plus the 25th anniversary one... and then Tharja because Japan loves Tharja.

65 sleeves/pack. Interesting. Wonder if this means there'll be a side deck?

(since the main deck is 50 cards, and 15 is a pretty standard side board number)

If I ever get these, my Force of Will deck's going to be sleeved in them. :P:
