Greetings Varischads. Some of you were already aware of this project before the post dropped, but I bet it'll be a surprise to people who aren't. Around six or so years ago I joined Team If with the intent of helping translate Fire Emblem Fates as an editor due to the censorship and other localization decisions surrounding the game. After we released 4.2 the team burned out hard. A few of us continued to work diligently but the fact of the matter is that wasn't enough to get us through. It felt really bad. We went from a 30 strong crew to a handful of people doing work. With the release of Engage came more censorship drama and its own re-translation, at least for the really nasty parts.
This got me thinking about going back and finishing Fates. So me and a few others got together and started working. Just like the old days. There's still a lot to be done, but I feel like we've made enough progress to go public with what we have so far.
We've decided to move further away from the localization of the game, so from this patch onwards the country names will be Byakuya and Anya. This is a work in progress and we still have to check the supports, but they need touching up anyways.
The new patch, 4.3, after 6 years, includes the entire Conquest(Anya) campaign, and many new translated second gen supports. I hope you enjoy and continue to support us on resuming our journey.

Hacking your 3DS
Note that you need an unencrypted CIA of Fire Emblem If Special Editon for the patching method to work. If you cannot manage this then use the LayeredFS method, it's the same method the uncensor patch for Engage uses and works great. If you do have an unencrypted CIA the patcher is very simple. Link your CIA, your mod folder, and the patcher does the work.
It is very important that you make sure you are using Fire Emblem If and not Fates. If is the JP version. If=petting waifus, Fates=no petting waifus.
Also please note that this patch will not be tested on Citra so any tickets related to that will be closed with no answer. Citra is a bit finnicky with FE games. Hack your 3DS, it's ez.
