absolutemint Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hello I would like to ask if all FE: Awakening copies can be played in english, french, german, etc. My own copy is in english with possible japanese dub for the voices, I have tried switching my 3ds's language to french, but the game's language remained japanese. If it indeed is possible for any Awakening games to be switched to french, then I would like to know how ^^. The reason for this is because I have a little brother who would very much like to play the game but he doesnt understand english. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Karimov Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Is this a European copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolutemint Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 No, Canadian... I'm in Quebec but it was shipped from Ontario though, which isn't a french-speaking province. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookofholsety Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) i'm not familiar with the state of French-language game distributions in Canada, but if you ordered the NTSC version - especially if it's from the English-speaking part of Canada - there's no French language on the cart whatsoever. you'll need a PAL version of the game and a PAL 3DS console if you want to play it in French if you're not sure, the easiest way to tell is whether or not this or this is your boxart; the former is NTSC, the latter is PAL Edited March 5, 2014 by bookofholsety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) Most games here aren't translated in French, though you really should ask the clerk if there's a French version available. I know the Generation 5 Pokémon games had a French version and it could clearly be seen on the box cover since even the color was in French. Fire Emblem not being that popular, I really wouldn't be surprised if there were no French versions available for North America. You'd need a European 3DS with a copy from France, Belgium or Switzerland that offers the game in French.

shadowofchaos Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) I do remember someone playing a french text FE: Awakening on Youtube set to Japanese voices... But I can't find it anymore. That... or my memory just sucks. Edit: Not the one I was talking about, but I think the PAL version of it does have French text: Edited March 5, 2014 by shadowofchaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxSpes Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I live in Quebec and as far as I know, there is no French language option(Granted I live right next to Ottawa and bought my copy there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Karimov Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Quebec? You'll have as much luck finding a French copy there as a Gaelic speaker in Laos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See back." and below that, the same thing is written in french), But the T for teen on the bottom left of the front of my boxart resembles the one on the cover of the first link (black 'T' on white background), so I suppose it's NTSC...

My boxart has english and french stuff written on it (i.e.: on the bottom, its written "Playable in 2D and 3D. 3D mode for ages 7+.

Translating a whole storyline based game compared to translating a box for information doesn't quite compare in terms of time and effort. Most games have done that for quite some time.

absolutemint Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) I suppose that's true. Well, thanks for your help anyways guys ^^. Guess I'll have to find a way to buy a whole new copy with french feature. Edited March 6, 2014 by absolutemint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
