Fire Emblem If(Fates) Translation Mod

Odd. It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to replace an image file with a different image file.
Well we'd have to find where the image is in the game files, on top of format and naming issues. I'd rather just do something easy in paragon than dig around in the files. We'll have to do it a few times with If though. There's a display of the route name on the bottom screen when the choice happens in the game and we slotted in the En versions, now we'll have to revert to JP, or make our own for the romanizations.

I'll also say that I didn't really have any problems with Shadows of Valentia's localization... until KickVic happened. A major character is voiced by Monica Rial in the English dub. My issue with using an undub with SoV is that it's the first Fire Emblem game with full voice acting, and the English dub was made to match the localized script.

My big issues with Echoes were Clair and Faye. They made Clair way dumber and more rude in EN, and they made Faye a complete yandere when she was only slightly crazy in JP. My theory is that the localizers misunderstood the subtleties of their characters while they were translating+"spiced them up". They love to do that.

The more I play this game (with translation patch version 4.3), the more I realize "holy fuck, this translation has a long ways to go". Kudos for making as much progress as you have. Though it's certainly not worth holding one's breath over.

Can someone point me to a rom or iso, I want to use it on a emulator due to being unfamiliar with 3ds hacking, and I know there isn't going to be any support related to citra issues but I am just hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

h shop, also don't worry about being unfamiliar. It's easy, the guide is step by step.

So i tried patching the game, and it seems the file size shrunk from 1.776,000 kb to 989,000 kb. what did i miss?

Ok, i think im a bit confused on patching the game. When using the patcher provided, the game ends up not functioning. Becoming completely black and not launching when trying to launch the game. Is this a sign of encryption or something else? Any assistance would be appreciated.

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.
I hknestly thought the patch died after all this time glad you guys are still working on IF/Fates and thank you for all your hard work I hope to see more updates in time

Progress update: I've been busy with training in my new job but I'm still cracking away at this thing. On chapter 22 of Birthright at the moment, working on a support tonight. Pace will pick up again now that I've settled into my new schedule.

The patcher seems to be inconsistent and finnicky. We have a guy working on it but he's really busy. Worse comes to worse we can do the ol' circulating the tapes. I'm sure someone will upload the whole thing to nyaa when we finish.

On my IF special edition the game doesn't see the third path what should I do to fix it? Or is that a know issue with 4.3

Tbh this retranslation obviously not perfect and still long way to go but uncensored content wise this probably better than game banana mod called "relocalization+" because in the readme files its says some support's undertone of so called conservation therapy is "fixed" and i guess mod maker tweaked child supports too its bores me even that so called relocalization mods overtly sensitive about "unfortunate" and "problematic" aspects of original content at least they accept that game's localization sucks

Another quick progress report. My training at my new job is pretty much finished. I have a couple months to go through academy but there's plenty of free time here so I have resumed my old work pace on the patch. We have one more female MC male second gen support to do and that will mark the end of that particular tree of supports. After that I'll finish touching up Birthright and we'll probably release another patch after a few more supports. Most of the stuff we'll have left is child parent, which isn't ALL copy paste but it gets pretty repetitive. For example, if Sakura is the mother of a a child she'll say something like "Your father made me do this over and over again, almost like pounding mocchi", but then another mother will just say the first part and the support is otherwise the same. Little stuff like that.

We've also added several typo and country name fixes we missed, as well as fixed some line bleed in the Conquest route. I feel like even after the translations are all done we'll be spending a lot of time releasing patches to address issues like this, so if you guys notice something don't be afraid to say it. Like "hey dipshit this one line is still in Japanese"

Anyways, looking forward to the Birthright release!
