FE Echoes: SoV Localization – Celica and “Pirate Booty”? [JPN vs ENG]

This post is part of a series on reader requested (and personal curiosity) comparisons between Fire Emblem games’ Japanese and English scripts.

 

A reader over on twitter sent me the following:

Do you know what the inspect quotes were like in JP Echoes? Some of them were pretty cheeky in English.

They provided screen shots of the lines they were curious about. They struck me as strange too, so this is the first of the ones I want to cover.

So let’s get to it!

Super Mario Odyssey: Bridal Outfit Description [JPN vs ENG]

Today’s post is another smaller one and looks into the Bridal Outfit in Super Mario Odyssey. It’s part of an ongoing series of comparison from the game both by request and personal curiosity.

This is actually the last of my personal curiosity ones. If there are any suits I didn’t cover that you want looked into, however, please let me know and I’ll do so!

Where is today’s FE Heroes comic? (Jan 3rd 2018)

There was no comic upload today. That’s because in Japan, December 29th through January 3rd is usually the New Year’s Holiday season, so offices and companies are often closed. That includes the people behind the comic.

I assume it will resume next week, on January 10th, however, and I will of course aim to translate it for you all as soon as possible!

Happy New Year! -2018-

Happy New Year!

Let’s welcome 2018. This post is a little late and is actually being written on January 9th as I was pretty busy around the New Year. I finally caught up on several weeks of missed posts, and hope to remain consistent once again from now on with weekend uploads.

Looking back at 2017, this site moved from the daily post to the weekend one due to finding full time work. I have a lot of material (such as 4komas) that I have gathered since then which may see me resume a daily schedule, but there are some changes that may be happening soon (looking for new work more relevant to my field) which may delay that slightly.

I’m very thankful that there are people who find the comparisons on this site worth reading, though, and others who like the comics and such that are posted here and there!

As always, please send any requests of things to look into when it comes to Japanese versus English. It brings me great joy to go on adventures with readers in search of trivia.

Let’s see how things look as this site reaches its fourth anniversary in April!
