I don't know any Japanese and can only recognized katakana for romanized names. I don't have a problem playing so far.

While this is really cool, I like the new English text design D: Sucks we can't mess with the spacing itself and keep the font, but using an already fixed set is easiest probably.

I've only played up to Chapter 6 so far, but this is a very different game from a traditional Fire Emblem. A LOT more emphasis is on the visual style and the narrative elements over the gameplay. If Awakening were a step down from the series, FEif is a step off the ladder almost entirely to go on a different path. We'll see how it shapes in the meat of the game after the choice. As well, the textures are really, really ugly in this game so far. Levels are often a few basic polygons and a stretched texture you'd see on the N64. I'm feeling like part of this is because the battle switches to zoom in, instead of to another scene like in Awakening. Framerate also is rather unstable with 3D enabled, sadly.

This gives me the impression that the third story is gonna have a good amount of content. I'm eager to see how it all turns out.

FEif Special Edition was dumped several hours ago, if anyone wanted to go data spelunking :)

A version of the game was dumped about an hour ago. Apparently is in the wild, so ROMs should begin showing up soon. Don't know what version of the game--I'm holding out for the Hoshido version first. Hopefully we can get a hold of it soon to get some datamining going :D

You could probably do it at BIOS level and set your mobile GPU as the primary display driver. Internet also has suggestions, http://superuser.com/questions/330568/how-can-i-determine-and-set-my-primary-graphics-card

lol people believing amazon preorder pages

I noticed that and was really perturbed by it The pop-in was very distracting. After noting the debug lines appearing on the bottom screen, I figured it was a problem for this preview build. I'm very curious when localization began. Rarely a few games have had partial localizations on their Japanese release, and it'd be very interesting if this Fire Emblem ends up having something.

Although, using smea's work you can get region free on your console. I think he was talking about support for the latest 3Ds version via ninjhax still.

I'm just glad I'll get a chance to play a new Fire Emblem again--last time I had access to a (not remake) Japanese FE at launch was FE9, and I remember how the community was helping share and understand parts of the game like recruitment, secret events, newgame+ features like the bands, and other neat stuff. I'm hoping we get a similar experience when the game comes out soon.

There have been some proof-of-concept hotswap mods for 3DS, where you would have a loose, modified file on your SD card in a specific folder location. Then when the game runs, this file is loaded over the vanilla one. I haven't paid too much attention to the 3DS stuff but it's come up recently again, I forget where it was mentioned.

Glad you got it working! There are a couple outstanding issues last I tried, such as Eirik being cloned with 0 stats and she disappears. I made a post in the Binary thread about how to avoid this--dunno if this latest version of the patch fixes it. There also seems to be a problem late-game where the path to those final ruins doesn't open? There's some images in the download that show how to force the path open. Other than that, Green is probably my favorite hack so far in the series, for its challenge and balance alone.

shadowofchaos + kirokan are great assets to our community. Translations of info are a lot more accessible than they were before for fansites like FESS, during the release of FE8/FE9 (and when they switched around series numbers lol).

It's always worked fine for me. I went ahead and just applied the patch again from that link, and it worked. I used tsukuyomi to patch, and play with VisualBoy Advance. I have a Japanese ROM from when it first leaked to the scene years and years ago, always had it laying around. I used this just now to patch and it worked, so maybe your ROM source is at fault? Get a copy from a different website or dump group and see if it works. If it still doesn't, send me a message and we'll see what we can do :)

Sure, here's a link http://ux.getuploader.com/FE4/download/96/%E7%B7%91%E3%83%91%E3%83%83%E3%83%81.zip Click the button that says 'ダウンロード' just below the link text on that page. Also, someone asked if The Last Promise is the only completed hack. There's a few in English, mostly GBA ones. There's a lot in Japanese for all of the series, and a few in Chinese (someone even had a basic FE10 hack going on, dunno what the state of it is now), and I've seen one in Vietnamese or Thai, I forget which language.

Hopefully your tools make edited files more accessible for more people :)

Nice to see some extended gameplay, finally. Looking forward to playing it soon :)

That's really awesome to hear :) (and it was when you said so in the other thread, too!)

Green Patch has been my favorite so far. Really great balance and everything is new. The FE4 remodeling is also a nice patch, as are lots of the genealogy hacks, like Genealogy of Neir.

I for one have no clue why Fire Emblem Nintendogs Edition is a thing. What FE fan requested this, exactly? lol

Thanks a lot for your future work :) VincentASM might be interested in adopting your info for the main site, too. Hopefully someone can use your translations to get a basic menu patch going in the meantime, too.

It's not out to play, but to start downloading. I'll be hawking the scene release sites for word of the game getting dumped and uploaded. You'll probably hear about it on the forums shortly after.

Is most of this thread still about RAM editing? I'm wondering if anyone is gonna do a basic menu patch when FEif gets dumped, especially with all this new fancy Sim City stuff.

A preload this early? Dang, that seems kinda weird. Wonder what the two game total size will be. Glad I got a 64GB for my Gateway :)
