Topic	Should I get FE: Fates or FE: Echoes?
Airship_Canon 07/14/18 12:28:12 PM #64:	Kenri posted... None of this is, like, unique for a localization of an FE game though. I'd agree that some of them are bad decisions but they're also relatively minor. Hardly a reason to say it's a bad translation unless you think Fire Emblem has literally never had a good one. Compared to any other translation in the series history, Fates was INCREDIBLY heavy handed. And those are negative. They cut content, they radically altered characters [Effie as a huge example; Soleil's another- since they altered her character it opens up dumb questions as why she's not a lesbian option (Since, hint, she's straight in Japan)] and character interactions (Ahem the "...." support, which was an actual conversation in the Japanese). Compare that against Awakening, which had, at its worst, a mild alteration of Henry. Only truly comparable bad translation was PoR which is more for cut content [Maniac Mode, which'd contrary to "It's a bad difficulty" statement, be reused in the same exact fashion [stat slam] as Lunatic in Shadow Dragon, New Mystery, Awakening, and Fates.] This isn't "oh hey we added memes" or resaid things in a way that makes sense. No, they did full rewrites. Which is shit. --- https://imgur.com/0GZFPf1 <cite>Airship_Canon posted [p:905063773] in Should I g...
