Mobfos Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Hey I love fire emblem I've played all of them that have been released in the US but I really want to play Fates. As much as i want to wait, I just need to play it now but I have never downloaded an emulator or rom or anything of the sort and was hoping some of you guys could maybe help walk me through the steps of how to play it now and download the menu patch and stuff? Thanks! Edited July 14, 2015 by VincentASM : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Respite&Nepenthe Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 You'll need a Japanese 3ds, my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respite&Nepenthe Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yeah, importing games can be expensive (not to mention the language barrier). But I feel you, bro. The wait is tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twice Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 This title got my hopes up >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemma Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 yeah, the title definitely needs a question mark or somethin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobfos Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'm sorry haha I realized the title was misleading after i made it :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twice Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) its okay XD although I wish there was a way for us to play it without a Jap 3ds lol Edited July 14, 2015 by Kurou616 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostlander Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 bought a Japanese 3ds from amazon for 95 dollars, no shipping cost, and 2-day shipping via amazon prime. Then just the price of the game. Not really a bad deal in the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoKnight Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Not to get your hopes up (because I don't know how they did it) but I've seen screenshots of a English patched Fire Emblem Fates on 4chan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To even begin this conversation, you need a 3ds that's on firmware version 9.2 or lower. If you don't, none of this matters and you cant english patch much less play the image file via hacks.

Othin Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 why would someone even make a patch for a game that's confirmed for getting an official translation anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agneauette Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Well, I'm sure most of you might know of this, but if you guys have a copy of Cubic Ninja, you guys can use Smealum's Regionfour and play FE:If using an imported physical cartridge (I did this using my O3DS and it worked fine)—so you don't necessarily need to get a Japanese 3DS. Buying a copy of Cubic Ninja and FE:If is still pretty pricey though, but comparatively cheaper than getting a Japanese 3DS as well as a physical copy of FE:If. And I think it's actually quite nice to have the translated patch, given that some people who already own a Japanese copy of the game don't want to wait for a localized version. I've also heard people discussing that having the fan-translated version would be useful, especially if the localized version ends up being censored or if other content is changed/cut.

This pretty much. I might just import the game if the fan translation is done in a timely manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
