Jariu Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Well, now is as good of a time as ever to play FE4, with Project Naga and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirie Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'm actually planning on replaying FE4 with the Project Naga patch in the next month or so. It's been too long since I've played and I want to make sure I can remember all the proper names for the characters in time for card reveals. >.> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draxal Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'm still incredibly grumpy about 8-4's decision to name Sety Ced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquantis Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 you're not the only one irritated at the awakening localization. I prefer the FE Museum/old TCG ones for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirie Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 The only one that really bothers me personally is Lachesis to Raquesis because Lachesis actually IS something and Raquesis is vaguely, awkwardly French-sounding nothing. And I really like her. :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuvillo Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Except for FE7, I think they tend to take out real-world name references when possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero of the Fire Emblems Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) Opinion: I think "The Banner of Holy War" rolls off the tongue better and sounds more epic than "Holy War Flag" Edited July 15, 2016 by Hero of the Fire Emblems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jariu Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 It... honestly doesn't, sounds like those ''American'' characters trying to sound super hammy in anime. It's just an unnecesarely convoluted way to name a small icon no one's going to call by it's name outside of the wiki anyways, so no need to think too much about it.

Jayvee94 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) How well be the priority in translating names? NOA/NOE > NOJ > real world name > Fan name? Edited July 16, 2016 by Jayvee94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jariu Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) 1st priority goes to NoA and NoE, as they are the official ones, for this we simply use the one that we like the most (See Shiida and Navarre both being used). 2nd priority would be Project Naga's as that's the patch everyone should be playing nowadays and thus they would get used and be familiar with those names (Note it uses the oficial names too, so it doesn't fight with the first one). The problem with the NoJ names is that in a good number of cases they are a mess to pronounce or are heavily corrupted once they where written in Japanese and a few even aren't even names, this type of reasons are why they where changed in Project Naga anyways which is why I'd take them over the JP ones.

Aquantis Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 almost all the FE4 NoJ names are real names (either places, mythological or military), if spelled a little funny. the NoA names make no sense (I will not call Sety Ced, or any of the other ridiculous names NoA came up with) I still have no clue why NoA did what they did.

Jariu Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Well, as I mentioned a lot of names are corrupted when passed to japanese.Refer to this: https://web.archive.org/web/20020606191800/http://ww5.tiki.ne.jp/~shihan/spell/seisen.htm It is a matter of fact every name used in FE4 is just Kaga wanting to have cool references for the japanese audiences, so looming over them for matters of meanings is useless if you ask me. As per the NoA/NoE names, well, send a letter complaining to them. We just use the oficial names because those are the names most people know due to playing the games or the best translation available and thus are familiar with said names..

TheVinceKnight Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Series 6 sleeve designs revealed: Left to Right, top to bottom Sigurd, Dierdre Laquesis, Charlotte Basically. Same release date as Series 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirie Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Oh wow, those are super gorgeous! I'm really glad the Raquesis art got in since I super love it; I figured we'd get 2 for FE4 and 2 for Fates, so I expected just Sigurd and Dierdre. :p I planned on buying 2 packs this time to match my larger box order (I broke down and went for 4 instead of my usual 3, so 1 pack won't be enough for all the Rs/SRs as I open), so I think I'll go for Raquesis and Dierdre. Can't find a non-watermarked version anywhere, so I guess I'll toss this version of the image up in the OP for now and replace them later.

The Geek Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I still think something is screwed up with Lachesis' wrist in her art. And Deirdre looks pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalShich10N Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I still think something is screwed up with Lachesis' wrist in her art. And Deirdre looks pissed. You'd be too if you snapped out of hypnosis to find out the man you're currently married to killed the love of your life AND you just gave birth to the antichrist. She looks more condescending than pissed, though. I think Sigurd hands down has the best art, though it's hard not to look at Charlotte's... lunch box.

Kirie Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Based on previous precedent of the Cipher Mascot cards being the last posted on twitter for a given set, I'm guessing that daily card reveals for S6 will be starting up on Monday. Get excited everyone! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVinceKnight Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Uh... yay. :P Well... they better start. Xander / Sigurd first? Edited August 19, 2016 by TheVinceKnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Iris Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Uh... yay. :P Well... they better start. Xander / Sigurd first? Between the two I'd like to believe they'd start with Sigurd since he's more of the face of Series 6 than Xander, I feel. Either way, I believe Kirie's observation is indeed true and we ought to start seeing Series 6 cards very soon. I think there'll be fun times ahead next week.

I think it's possible if they did both at once. Marth / Lucina were put out that way in Series 4 but what do I know mmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
