FE PoR: Rhys, Rolf, & Elincia Concept Art (140-141) Translations

This post is part of my ongoing translations of the Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance Memorial Book: Tellius Recollection (Vol 1). 

This post is of page 140-141, which feature Rhys, Rolf, and mainly Elincia concept artworks with some commentary. The commentary is translated both on the page and here on this post.

You can find every translation I’ve done on this book so far on the compilation post here!

As you can imagine, the process of doing all this (scanning, editing, translating, etc) takes a lot of time, and I am unemployed…so if you like what I did, then…

Translated text:

[29] Rhys, who participates in battles despite his illness. He’s a rare example in this series of a healer you get in the early-game who is male. [30] Rolf, the youngest of the three green-haired brothers who is considerably mature for his age. He and his brothers can utilize the Triangle Attack, breaking series’ conventions. Up until now, the Triangle Attack had always been associated with three Pegasus Knights. That is just one of his many uses. [31] The hidden Princess Elincia – a key person in the Mad King’s War. These are design documents that show that her orange dress (which she has come to be known for) were once meant to resemble Elena’s clothes as well. [32] This is a definitive artwork of her turquoise-blue dress that was in the early versions of the game. The cool and composed colors went really well with her hair color.

Notes:

• Regarding breaking series conventions and association between the triangle attack and three Pegasus knights, Binding Blade‘s three knights (Wendy, Bors, and Bath) as well as other examples (in Geneaology of the Holy War) provide counter examples. However, those games did feature a Pegasus Trio too that could do it –as does this game.

Japanese text (original):

２９病を押して参戦したキルロイ。シリーズを通して初期の回復系ユニットが男性というのは珍しい例。３０成長著しい緑髪さん兄妹の末弟ヨファ。兄弟によるトライアングルアッタクの登場は、「トライアングルアッタク＝ペガサスナイト三騎によるもの」という従来の印象を覆した。まさに一見の価値有り。３１デイン＝クラミア戦争のキーパーソン、隠されし王女エリンシア。誰もが見知ったオレンジ色のドレスの他に、エレナと似た衣装の設定画も用意されていた。３２初期稿、決定版とは色違いのターコイズブルーのドレス。落ち着いた色味の髪の色と良くあっている。。
