AsheoftheEmblem Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Introduction Hello All! I have undertaken a project to create half-card English proxies for each set of Fire Emblem Cipher. The purpose behind the project is to increase the accessibility for newcomers into the game. It is recommended to double-sleeve all cards using the proxies: sleeving the card in a perfect fit sleeve, and then the proxy and card into a sleeve with a non-transparent back (like KMC Matte Sleeves). Early 'Proof of Concept' Photos EDIT: Summary on recent work. The following changes are included in the second run: Characters with more than 2 skills will now have their absent skills included. Characters with more than 1 support skill will now have their absent skills included. To reduce the quantity of ink, actual card backgrounds were substituted for the solid black background. Skills are now surround by their own background (similar to the cipher cards). To save space, the bottom half off the proxy was condensed. Skills with leading icons now have the icons present. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Starter Decks Starter Deck 1 - War of Darkness Full PDF (under revision) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) Starter Deck 2 - Awakening Full PDF (under revision) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) Starter Deck 3 - White Night Full PDF (unavailable) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) Starter Deck 4 - Black Night Full PDF (unavailable) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) Starter Deck 5 - Path of Radiance Full PDF (unavailable) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) Starter Deck 6 - Illusory Revelations Full PDF (unavailable) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) Starter Deck 7 - Binding Blade Full PDF (unavailable) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) Starter Deck 8 - Genealogy of the Holy War Full PDF (unavailable) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) Starter Deck 9 - Land of the Gods Full PDF (unavailable) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Booster Sets Booster Set 1: Warblade of Heroes Full PDF (unavailable) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) Booster Set 2: Soulful Flames of Light and Dark Full PDF (unavailable) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) Booster Set 3: Twin Swords of Hope Full PDF (unavailable) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) Booster Set 4: Illusory Revelations Full PDF (unavailable) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) Booster Set 5: Overcoming Rivalry Full PDF (unavailable) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) Booster Set 6: Storm of the Knights' Shadows Full PDF (unavailable) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) Booster Set 7: Rise to Honor Full PDF (unavailable) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) Booster Set 8: Life and Death: Beyond Fate Full PDF (unavailable) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) Booster Set 9: Thunderous Earth Full PDF (unavailable) Singles (complete set, rev. 2) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Help Contribute Any feedback regarding the proxies is welcome!

colorninja Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 This is a great effort and I'm glad you're working on it! Any reason you're making them in such a low resolution, though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reason you're making them in such a low resolution, though? Thanks for the feedback! I agree, the low resolution may be problem. The 'Bond' icon, especially, is difficult to decipher (between 1, 2, or 3). Once I finish the first booster set (by tomorrow), I'll look at revising my methodology to allow for a higher resolution (and update my current sets accordingly).

Hero of the Fire Emblems Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I was considering making a redux for the translation of the cipher cards once all 4 currently canon Japan games (4, 5, 6, and 12) were all redone to have improved consistency with english localizations and whenever the Hasha manga also got updated (An example; "Marth: Prince of the Alliance" should ACTUALLY be "Marth: Prince of the League" since the Archanea Alliance was localized as the Archanean League, but that's just the top of my head example) In the meanwhile, this is most definitely a good effort for the current translation work and I am very excited to see it happening while the games and hasha get sorted out (currently focusing on contributing to the FE12 fan translation). Keep up the good work, and hopefully someday soon I'll be able to put in some effort of my own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least, over 50% of them. If you do happen to update certain translations, please let me know. I'll update the proxies accordingly.

colorninja Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I'm excitedly following your progress! I'm not sure the card image backgrounds are doing much for you and I think the reworked configuration at the bottom may be sacrificing some of the legibility, especially from across the table, that the first run had, especially without a color indicator. Saving ink is a real thing, though, so keeping black text on white at the top does probably make sense. You're making progress on getting all the information on there! Quotes... probably are ambitious, given their length and how much space you need to get the same rules text in English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have received similar comments regarding the bottom portion of the proxy; it would benefit players to have some sort of color contrast. I am currently working on a design that is similar in style to the cipher cards, while providing the real estate needed for text. Stay tuned!

colorninja Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 That's great to hear! I'm going to print and use whatever you have cooking in the next revision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CipheringEmblems Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Love the concept and already made several copies to use. One note: for starter deck 5 (PoR), you switched Greil's card for another Marcia that's not in the deck. Only thing I've noticed so far. Thanks for all your effort! It'll let me and my brother finally play now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CipheringEmblems Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Just finished an initial check for Booster Box 5. Only found a few errors: Missing - Sophia, Prophet of the Hidden Village Labeled as PR05-008PR on the wiki Extra - Caeda, Mystical Pegasus Knight Labeled incorrectly on the wiki as B05-006HN, when it should be B04-006HN Incorrect - Lilina, Lady of Ostia Her first support skill has the name and support type of her second support skill, while her second support skill itself is missing entirely. Incorrect - Roy, Young Lord of Pherae Same as Lilina. Other than that, the set is really nice. Thanks again for all your hard work! I'll try to let you know should I find anything else. Good luck.
