Fire Emblem - The Binding Blade Localization Patch v1.2.1
This project attempts to be as close to officially translated material as possible to hopefully create something the level of which could have seen an official release.
With this latest release, we tied up all the loose ends and added a few nice features that don't directly alter gameplay. Barring any further official localizations for FE6 content, there isn't really anything left for us to do, making this patch as complete as it's going to be right now.
Feel free to use this patch as a base for your own hacks or modifications! (Please understand I won't be able to answer questions with regards to your hacks of FE6.)

v1.2.1 Changelist
Corrected issue that can cause the game to crash
Corrected "Garret"'s name to "Garrett" as in FE Heroes
Adjusted one of Noah's supports with Trec to refer to Ilia as "peddling death" as in FE Heroes
Added missing songs to the Sound Room (this was an issue with the base game): Perilous Dance (Lalum being attacked), Within Sadness (ally death), and Arena Victory
(v1.2.1) Added a feature so character names in the Support Conversation reader will turn green when all of a character's support conversations have been unlocked
v1.1.3 Changelist
■New Features
Reread your favorite Support Conversations with a fully functional Support Conversation reader! Note that previously viewed Support Conversations will not be unlocked unless they are viewed again. The feature is available from the Extras menu (unlocked after completing the game once) and the battle preparations screen. There is a special Easter egg to view all Support Conversations once the feature is unlocked on the Extras menus...
Press B to skip the credits and character endings page by page--no longer does beating the game have to mean waiting 20-30 minutes for the credits to end!
You can now press Start on the Preparations menu to start a battle, as in the other GBA FE titles
The cursor on the main menu moves a little more smoothly now
The people who made huge contributions to the localization are now credited in the credits screen 😊
■Fixes
The infamous Hugh glitch, in which Hugh's stats were inflated in his recruitment chapter if the player resumed the chapter, has been corrected!
File size of the patched ROM has been reduced nearly by half!
Missing pause marker in opening scene added to make it flow smoother
Other general behind-the-scenes data organization
(v1.1.1) Fixed "bad" ending of Ilia route not displaying properly
(v1.1.3) Fixed "Battleground" display on map preparations screen
■Localization/Text Updates
Orun corrected from Hector's "half brother" to his "cousin", and description of Saint's Staff updated to reflect that it also restores statuses of allies
All character names and titles have been updated for consistency with Fire Emblem Heroes and other current content (thin font used where names did not fit in UI)
Replaced remaining unlocalized "Ereb" map graphics with localized "Elibe" map graphics (credits, preparations minimap)
The Link Arena is now fully localized!
Other small text revisions, including an overhaul of the Tutorial for consistency with Nintendo's GBA-era terminology regulations
