rubysp Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Since the Special Edition will unlikely to come out in English (and no Japanese dub?) I'm thinking of buying the original game in Japanese & get all the goodies. My DS is homebrewed so I can play out of region games but I was wondering if there will possibly be a translation patched released down the line? And I'm just curious about the process. Is it a lot of hassle to patch the subtitles or is it simply copy/paste the files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) It really depends on how the game was designed. Maybe @shadowofchaos or somebody could help? Like what happens if you swapped the Japanese Awakening or Fates text files for the English ones? I know New Mystery was a pain in the butt since it didn't even have a fully functioning English alphabet for the dialogue... If there are no issues, you could try pasting the English files from the official English translation after it releases in May. I seriously don't think anybody is going to fully translate the game before then... Actually, you never know, considering it's a remake of Gaiden and most of Gaiden's text has been translated, plus some fans are *really* dedicated.

Hardin Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Why don't you just buy the special edition version that does not include the game and wait to play it in English? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirmola Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Yeah. That special edition version feels like they are explicitly catering to the export market. (That, or this is some sort of anti-scalping attempt) Edited February 13, 2017 by sirmola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubysp Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 It looks like there's an extra special edition now lol. But the version we get in the west is just the game itself. No dvds. No artbooks. No sountracks & No Cipher card... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I'm surprised you didn't hear about the news elsewhere, but I guess not a lot of people will be talking about the Japanese special edition ^^;;; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I've never tried switching the English text into the JP version... simply because l can read Japanese. Or at least the simplified Japanese in FE games. Sorry. Theoretically, it could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand basic Japanese but Kanji & Keigo trips me up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Karnage Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I don't think we'll be seeing a fan translation for echos like we did for fates, as the release time between the Japanese version and the English version will only be a month. We may have someone who finds out how to swap the audio files around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bufkus Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Why not just wait until the english version comes out and rebuy the game then? no one is going to go through the effort to translate the game just so a few handful can play the japanese version in english. I mean if you're already going to pay that much for the special edition, I assume its mainly about getting the collectors items than actually playing the game early. So it shouldn't be a big deal to buy the game again in English later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll follow your suggestion. Cheers Now hoping for an undub for Echoes *cross fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on putting the same amount of effort into tools for SoV as I did into If. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altrosa Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'm curious if anything in Gaiden was, uh, "sketchy" enough to warrent any kind of major rewriting. Fates is notorious, but I recall talk that Awakening had some major character changes, but the only I know of is Henry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Henry's change was for the better, at least in my and many other opinions, considering he's far more popular in the west than he is in Japan.
