Lantairu Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 This is just great. Like, this is the best damn translation of everyone's favorite FE game: Fire Emblem: The Descent of Jihad. Preview: http://imgur.com/a/XcQxx I won't spoil anything else, but I just wanted to share this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I think most people have already seen this. Zigludo and Serlis are pretty well known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I can see why they decided not to use that title in Awakening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Zigludo is such an awful translation, I laugh whenever I hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex95 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 While I don't have the issue itself (darn it for being too young), I remember reading this before many times elsewhere. As for the translations, NP didn't have the best translators on board at the time. But we can sure as heck make as much fun of Zigludo and Serlis as much as we want.

Lantairu Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hahaha I'm surprised nobody noticed Marus. Or Secret of the Crest, which is apparently a remake of FE1 AND 2!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Druid Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Or Secret of the Crest, which is apparently a remake of FE1 AND 2!!! Wow, I wonder how the rest of the game would be translated by the folks at Nintendo Power haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionordeQuester Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Huh. I wonder why they would promo the game if they're going to follow that up with "there are no plans to release it in North America"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zasplach Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Huh. I wonder why they would promo the game if they're going to follow that up with "there are no plans to release it in North America"? It was a different time; lots of games weren't being localized, but Nintendo still wanted to create potential interest in their long running series (four games for Fire Emblem put it in that range) in case they eventually decided to localize later iterations of the series, which Fire Emblem eventually did.

So you mean to say that it was the same as what they by adding Roy to SSBM, to create possible interest in localisation?

Zasplach Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 So you mean to say that it was what they by adding Roy to SSBM, to create possible interest in localisation? Yeah, it's like what they did in putting Roy and Marth in SSBM, though the magazine is on a smaller scale. But back before the days of mass internet use, I remember owning some game's guides and also sometimes buying magazines like Nintendo power, though I don't remember ever buying Nintendo Power itself.

Book of Ereshkigal Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Oh, I remember this. It's where the Zigludo joke comes from. Actually, my mom has a lot of Nintendo power issues from the SNES era, she may have this issue. I'll look through them some time.
