Respite&Nepenthe Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Oh, these are beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I can't wait until this has been translated! But this community's poor translators must be exhausted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 What is wrong with the female Avatar's feet? I like the Dark Blood's look so much more...the tattered cape though, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DanMan Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Random musings in 3, 2, 1... . Red-haired Takumi gives me Cordelia vibes. Already saw the Felicia art; she started out as basically Sumia as a maid, complete with the same face. So, the difference between the gendered Golden Kite Warrior outfit is that guys have pants and girls don't? *Sigh* The generic F!Revenant Knight design looks pretty cool and (outside of the elbow claws) not impractical. The same can not be said... ...For the female knight and cavalier lines. Just... just... why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 More Nohrian scenery: http://i.imgur.com/FNN3gLh.jpg Woooowwww. What is that?! Was that the original design for the castle or...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearaby Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Wahh the art is just so pretty... Thank you. Woooowwww. What is that?! Was that the original design for the castle or...? Some words are cut off, but the rest say something like this. In the initial stages, it was meant to have an even worse and darker image, as if the country was being run by vampires. You can still see some impressions from that in the current name and design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SniperGYS Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Lancer/Holy Lancer/Basara: http://i.imgur.com/BLGSYlK.jpg I really love the Holy Lancer and Basara design... Ah, I'm so happy with the lancer class... Minus that hat haha, I don't like that Thanks for the pictures~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow. That's really interesting~ We can definitely still see some vampiric themes that made it into the final cut such as the designs of some of the characters (*coughs* Iago *coughs*) and scenery such as the castle and throne. Thanks for translating that. :) This has given me a few ideas for my fic, actually. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book Bro Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Female Knight/Great Knight/General: http://i.imgur.com/SfZVLbV.jpg I just cannot comprehend what exactly is the point of the ass window? Putting aside how impractical it is, it doesn't even look remotely sexy. Also Leon seems to have had a Camilla-style crotch curtain in his original design... think they gave him pants after, didn't they? Found that amusing. I really can't wait for a new costume designer to take over... Some of these are really cool and then you have some that are complete fails.

Found that amusing. Actually, if you look closely his under-shirt is the same almost-skin tone; it appears that the difference between that design and the final one is that the clothes underneath his armor were recolored from skin-like tan to black.

maskedmarth Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I just ordered mine, so I am willing to bend the spine for clear scans! Will post up the art first once I get them. If there are any pages you guys need specifically scanned so someone can translate them, message me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sorry for cutting off some of the words. The part that was cut off says that sunlight doesn't reach the region, leading to a shortage of food and constant conflict. After that is the bit about vampires :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as a side note that I thought was kind of funny, next to Leon's picture it says that food like tomatoes can't be grown in Nohr (his title in game is that he loves tomatoes the most), so they are secretly imported from Hoshido.

Kirokan Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 A lot of the books are interviews and such, so there isn't actually too much to scan for those interested on the design side of things. That may make it a bit easier for people wanting to scan things. : ) However the thick spine does make it hard to get anything clear closer to the inside of the page without totally tearing the page out. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazTGG Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Doesn't look like this was posted here yet: http://serenesforest.net/2015/12/09/the-making-of-fire-emblem-64/ Apparently The Making of Fire Emblem states that Fuuin No Tsurugi does carry over some concepts from the elusive Fire Emblem 64, the key word being some. Aside from Roy aka. "Ike", a couple of names like Idoun and the character Karel did make the transfer over from the Nintendo 64 to the GameBoy Advance, but a large portion of Fuuin No Tsurugi had to start over from scratch. This isn't too surprising since Fire Emblem tends to recycle unused elements from older games all the time, be they ideas (i.e. Kaga wanted to show Camus' leadership but couldn't due to technological limits on the Famicom eventually leading to the Leadership mechanic in Seisen No Keifu) or character names (i.e. Ike being used in Path of Radiance). The post also includes pictures of several characters such as "Ike" and Idoun, both of whom look noticeably different from the final version.

I really can't wait for a new costume designer to take over... Some of these are really cool and then you have some that are complete fails. I agree with you. The boob windows, butt windows and lack of pants with the women in the mounted classes and Knight and General are completely unnecessary. Along with that they are impractical, and uncomfortable. I hope we don't see class designs like that for the women in the next game because it's terrible. As a side note I want to thank all of the translators for their work. It's really appreciated.

maskedmarth Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Is there any information on the influence designs for the characters in Awakening? There's no topic in the Awakening forum that covers that, just curious to see if they included it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearaby Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 There's some, if I'm thinking about the right thing? Like drawings of the characters' clothes or previous designs? I have no idea if these have been seen in previous books though. Marth-Lucina, Robin, a few pages on assorted characters (mostly 1-2 headshots of a few people), little Emm+siblings, tiny one on manaketes, and Freddy, Chrom, Tharja, Lissa, Emm. Pretty sure I've seen some of those before, so don't know if the rest is new or I've just never seen it. (I'm not a very up-to-date person) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyainou Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Are there any interviews or notes made by Kozaki about his Fates' designs? I'm really curious to know his thought process. If anyone knows of some, even outside of this book, can you please link me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmileyEmblem Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Any ages confirmed? Or was there any more FEF official artwork in there? We haven't gotten anything in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maskedmarth Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 As mentioned before by others, this book is not really an official artwork book, but more of an information and development book. I have posted most of the FEF official artwork on feifscans.tumblr.com if you want to go check it out, other have scanned some things as well. I think everyone is just waiting for Kantopia to get to the fates part in their own time, i know others like jokerthebutler.tumblr.com have translated a couple of things. And some people on reddit are slowly translating it too. As for ages, I think they were censored out on the information pages of some characters in the books, need to double check that tho.
