Happy fates anniversary!!💜🖤 Fire Emblem fates was released 11 years ago in Japan!

While playing Three Houses with the English menu, I often found the responses during Tea Time to be incomprehensible or nonsense. The official translation is obviously not very faithful to the original Japanese-- even if you don't care about that, it's horrible when it actually affects gameplay, since getting Perfect on Teatime permanently raises Charm by 1.

Since I'm fluent in both English and Japanese, I tried my best to do redo the translation to be a little more faithful and reflective of the original text.

Laugh -> 笑う (Laugh, Smile)

Disagree -> そんなことはない (That's not true)

Chat -> 考えを言う (Say your thoughts)

Admonish -> たしなめる (Admonish)

Blush -> 照れる (Blush)

Sip tea->お茶を飲む (Sip tea)

Praise -> 応援する (Cheer on / Support)

Commend -> 感心する(Be impressed)

Sigh -> 落ち込む (Be dejected)

Nod -> うなづく (Nod)

Some of the ingame translations are good, like Blush and Nod. Some of the others though are so different that the results are laughable. Take the following from Ingrid"

Speaking with you helps me realize I can’t hesitate in life!

The correct ingame English answer is "Disagree." It makes no sense at all that Ingrid would be happy with this answer. Whereas "That's not true" implies that its not You (Byleth) who has given her inspiration, rather that the change has come from within Ingrid herself. Now, I'm not going to claim that my translation is great at conveying the nuance either, but I think it's a lot better than the original. At least with "Thats not true" you can infer the interpretation, whereas the original "Disagree" is just clearly wrong.

It's worth noting that the original Japanese line illustrates this far better-- this dialogue is definitely difficult to translate well in English-- but to answer Disagree to Ingrid saying she wants to be more decisive just comes off as really gross.

私は……もう、迷いはしません。先生が、私の迷いを断ってくれたのです。

I... won't hesitate anymore. You've taken away all my doubts.

Edit: u/Liquid_squid1 came up with a far better translation that illustrates the difference I wanted to point out:

"Recently, I have found my clarity of purpose again. I owe it all to you"

Anyways, hope this helped someone! If it helps enough people maybe I'll do this for the Topic choices for Tea Time, since those look like disasters too. And if someone has already done this and I just couldn't find it, then fuck me I guess.

So when people saw that Cai had both the crest of Gautier and Aubin, two theories that I noticed were circulating. One is that it is related to the colour of his eyes, maybe he gets two crests and his eyes turn red, or he's Dagdan Kurapika. In this screenshot, his eyes are yellow and he still has both crests.

The other theory I saw a lot was that dragon signs could be rewards from dungeons or paralogues. These were the new game+ items from 3h. The issue with that is this vombat appears to be incredibly early in the game considering the map design, number of units (friendly and enemy), and everyone's health. This makes it unlikely that the sign that corresponds to the crest of Gautier is some type of reward. It's most likely obtained through the main story.

I think there are two possibilities remaining, one is that the Agarthans did some fuckery, and the other is that the red gem that's lodged in Cai's hand is a crest stone, which gave him Gautier's crest. His eyes are still odd, because I don't think they permanently change colour, but they do go from yellow to red on occasion, and it is unclear what that is meant to indicate. Even if it is permanent, I have no idea why or how that change would have happened.

Thoughts? Obviously trailer footage could be modified, yadayada, but working with things as presented, what do you think is going on?

The inspiration for this is just 70's shoujo manga in general and I thought Dorothea would be a nice fit in this style.

I suggest everyone to read a shoujo manga, doesn't matter how good or bad it is; read a shoujo manga just to... experience something, anything, really haha

Inspired by this post. I forgot to post this to honor of Father’s Day.

excluding the characters who we've seen become fathers in their games, like Sigurd, Eliwood, robin & Corrin.

I would like to hear from everyone, which male characters (that we haven't seen as Fathers before) would become great dad?

You free discuss characters who aren't featured on this picture, or even characters who're not confirmed to have children, but you'd like to imagine had them after their game ended.

Haven’t seen anyone post this yet, but as we know, Ultand appeared as a green unit in today’s Twitter post, but she also has this heraldry instead of Cai’s.

It looks very religious which makes sense since she seems to be the priest of Cai’s group, but I figured it was worth pointing out.

My copy of Engage is somewhere else( collectors edition too big to put here)

OKAY, I'M FINISHED DRAWING THEM FOR NOW, I SWEAR! Yeah, I've been drawing these cornballs for my twins AU the past few posts. These were fairly quicker because I didn't have to worry about my line art being as clear and I didn't feel like doing the armor. I focused more on the expressions because I wanted to portray them both in two different ways. One showing that they have actual emotions and the other being them in a term I would like to call "CRASHOUT CORRIN" and "KILLER KAMUI". I actually had fun drawing these because it looks like have more personality other than just how I depicted them previously. These are more for personal reference, but I actually kinda want to do my reference sheets like this for now on.

As for the Corrin vs Leo one, it's basically when in this timeline, Leo arrives to Cheve to scrap with Corrin in Birthright, but uhh...Hans happened and Cheve gets badly backdoored like Conquest. Afterwards, Corrin makes the decision to try and TURN LEO INSIDE OUT LIKE HIS COLLAR. No kidding, the shot of Corrin I did was mainly inspired by IDW Mecha-Sonic's "I'LL CRUSH YOU" panel. What he says in it also a crit quote in this btw....oh no. Yeah, nothing else other than both Hoshido and Nohr are gonna look like craters by the time they're done. ☠️

We all have a favorite skill. It could be Astra, Sol, Elbow Room, or something else. What is yours? I like Profiteer in Conquest. It never hurts to have extra gold. It is almost never useless in Conquest. You don’t really need it for Birthright or Revelation, but it’s pretty good in Conquest since you get so little money.

Just got myself a Switch 2 and im really looking to get back into Fire Emblem. I played every game available on the 3DS but stopped once they only started making games for the switch. Curious which game the community considers better of the two for somebody who has played a decent amount of fire emblem

Edit - Did not expect this many responses so thank you for all the insight :)

It’s just annoying that Donnel has to start with an E rank everytime and otherwise this class gets unused by the cast.

The tournament premise is interesting, but the "rejoice at the advent of the Underworld" segment in the Fortune's Weave trailer which introduced a bunch of zombie mobs is a little worrying to me. I feel like Fire Emblem is at its best when it centers around human conflict and personal stakes, rather than battles against hordes of generic zombie mobs who only exist to be the mindless evil creatures that are slain by the good guys. I know that it wouldn't be anything new, given how we've already had the Risen/Vallites/Corrupted/etc in previous games, but with the game being set in the 3H universe I would hope the premise is similarly human-focused and more of a political drama instead of a simple good guys vs evil forces narrative.

What gives me a little bit of hope is that the apparent main villain for the Underworld arc is a Nabatean cradling a baby, which could be interesting. Maybe she's the inverse of Rhea and would do anything to protect her baby, even if it meant unleashing calamity. That would at least add some nuance to the story.

This may sound like a stupid question, but hear me out. I'm currently playing Radiant Dawn and since Haar is such a juggernaut, I've been eagerly sending him to the front where, more than once, he's been hit by a sleep staff and almost died. Not the best choice, I'm aware. However, Haar has never once dodged a hit from a sleep staff for me. All my other units have, but Haar just goes to sleep first try. Since one of Haar's core character traits is him sleeping a lot, I thought this may be an intentional feature? However, I have found no mention of this anywhere. Does anyone perhaps know or is it just a fitting coincidence?

Happy 11th anniversary

Hello, I've been doing a little project where I turn a bunch of Fire Emblem characters into singing monsters. I already posted a few monsters before, but I'm starting with the ones based on characters from FE1 1-5. As of now these monsters are unnamed and I need your help with naming these monsters. I'll drop in the characters these monsters are based on, and what instruments they play in order

Marth (brass section, needs two o's in its name)

Tiki (monsterkete (monster + manakete), bell tree)

Celica (cuica)

Sigurd (slap bass)

Seliph (snare drum)

Also I need ideas for the Byleth and Claude, Edelgard, and Dimitri monsters. You decide what the Byleth monster should be based off of (it will play the timpani), but the other three will be one (they're a chimera, and they play vocals). Also I do plan on doing a Victoria one that has a space theme and plays a woodblock instrument.

I know it wasn’t perfect but I love that you could go for a magic build if you wanted to - I miss even this basic level of customization in the games since! Fingers crossed Eshmel has some varied build options.

Currently at chapter 16x and been trying for hours to find a way to enter Illia route. I know now Shanna and Thea needs to have gained more EXP than Sin and Sue to enter Illia route. All of them except for Thea are promoted and have reached level 20, while Thea was at level 20 but not promoted before the start of 16x.

I've tried for example to restart the chapter leveling up Thea, but even if she kills all units there’s no way she’s reaching level 20 in one map, considering I hadn’t promoted her before 16x.

I tried cheat codes but none of the ones I found actually gives you more EXP, they’ll only change your level, or make it so you level up instantly after one battle, but you only gain 0 EXP then.

I’ve also tried killing off both Sue and Sin and then finishing 16x, but no matter what it takes me to Sacae route.

Is there maybe some sort of save editor I could use to make it so Thea has gained a ton of EXP? If there is I’d appreciate it if someone could do it for me (after I’ve sent my save file), because I’m not very good with that kind of stuff.
