Fire Emblem: Dark Dragon (FE1) Scrapped Sketches/Bosses – 25th Anniversary

From the Making of Fire Emblem: 25 Years of Development Secrets 25th Anniversary art book comes some sketches that depicted unused bosses and events. Some of these were translated with and by VincentASM of serenesforest.net, with some other parts translated by me. Look forward to VincentASM’s in-depth analysis coming soon!

These are found on Page 324 and 325. A follow up post will come later which shows some scrapped scenes and dialogue, as well as the game’s original plan/proposal.

You can find these scans and much more from this book on the compilation post here.

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

FE Fates: 4Koma Comic & Character Guidebook (Page 144) Translation – Marth + Ike

The latest of my scan/clean/translate of Fire Emblem Fates: 4Koma & Character Guidebook (ファイアーエムブレムif 4コマ・キャラクターガイドブック).

 I do not post the raw scans here, but you may email if you want them to compare translations! I do at least one page per day.

The compilation post is here!

All scanning, editing, translating, and uploading is done on my free time and is rather time consuming. It is certainly a lot of work, and I am unemployed… so please consider donating if you like the work I do. Any amount (no matter how small) is much appreciated and helps me keep going on a daily basis. I hope you enjoy the end results of my work!

Here is today’s page! (Page 144) It features Marth and Ike.

Sakurai Interview (Part 2): Fire Emblem 25th Anniversary

There was a lengthy (eight page) interview with Masahiro Sakurai near the end of the Fire Emblem 25th Anniversary Book. In it, Sakurai’s history with the Fire Emblem franchise is explored.

I provided the scans to my friends at SourceGaming, who translated the first part of the interview before. And now, they translated the second part of the interview in full. Sakurai details his opinions on the games of the franchise, such as Genealogy of the Holy War among others! There are some Fire Emblem Fates spoilers, so please be careful. Thankfully, SourceGaming has marked the spoilers so they can be avoided.

Please go over and read it!

Contents of the Fire Emblem 25th Anniversary Book (Translation + Review)

To give people (and potential importers) a better idea what exactly is in the 351 page Making of Fire Emblem: 25 Years of Development Secrets book, I decided the easiest way to cover that would be to simply translate the Table of Contents and write a personal commentary on it too. See the contents first, and my brief review after that. You can also scroll down to the bottom for a summary.

All the information I have translated thus far can be seen on my compilation post.

Sakurai Interview: Fire Emblem 25th Anniversary

There was a lengthy (eight page) interview with Masahiro Sakurai near the end of the Fire Emblem 25th Anniversary Book. In it, Sakurai’s history with the Fire Emblem franchise is explored.

I provided the scans to my friends at SourceGaming, who translated the first part of the interview. Please head over there to read this insightful interview! It details info on Sakurai’s thoughts and background regarding Fire Emblem and the Super Smash Bros. series. The second part will be up later.

At one point Sakurai refers to a more “energetic” Roy, as well as when Roy was once named Ike. I have provided the relevant pages in translation below to give you an idea of what he’s talking about. For more information from the 25th Anniversary Book in general, go to my compilation post here!

Fire Emblem Fates: 4Koma & Character Book Character Artworks [ALL]

I decided to make a compilation post for the (untranslated) character pages from Fire Emblem Fates: 4Koma & Character Book (ファイアーエムブレムif 4コマ・キャラクターガイドブック) for people who just wanted the art regardless of the translation.

I am steadily working on translating the entire book however, which can be found here. I cover a new profile and following comic (comics not posted here) each day.

Please support the authors by buying a physical copy yourself! It makes for a fine addition to any Fire Emblem or manga collection, and does not cost much either!

All scanning, editing, uploading was done on my free time and was rather time consuming. It is certainly a lot of work, and I am unemployed… so please consider donating if you like it! Any amount (no matter how small) is much appreciated and helps me keep going on a daily basis.

You can download all the artwork in bulk here.

All the text on the pictures below are the same as their character profiles, which can be found translated here.

If you share it on your own site, all I ask is you please link back to this site in some fashion. : )

Note that the first few pages are a little blurry on the edges. I hope to rescan them at a later date. It should improve after just a few pages!

Finally, all the artists and the characters they did can be found at the end of the post.

Fire Emblem Fates: 4Koma & Character Book Translations

STATUS: COMPLETE

My copy of Fire Emblem Fates: 4Koma & Character Book (ファイアーエムブレムif 4コマ・キャラクターガイドブック) finally came in.

Like last time with Fire Emblem Awakening: 4Koma Kings, I scanned, cleaned, translated, and uploaded them myself (with a few cleaning exceptions, credited on their respective pages). Each page has its own post, but this is the compilation post for all pages in one neat place.

This book contains full body artworks of every playable character in FE14 (if/Fates) as well as two four panel comics that feature each character on every page.

Please support the authors by buying a physical copy yourself! It makes for a fine addition to any Fire Emblem or manga collection, and does not cost much either!

I will not offer the raw scans on this site, but feel free to ask for them in email if interested!

If you want to download all the pages in bulk, you can do so from here. The password is: kantopia

Fire Emblem Fates: All four amiibo event dialogue translations -First Encounters-

These are all the first encounter conversations. On my previous posts for amiibo dialogue translations (now updated), I was missing these. Youtuber Linkmastr was kind enough to upload them specifically for me, so here they are with the full dialogue!

You can read the events on their individual pages (with videos), or just see them all on this page. Marth’s here, Robin’s here, Lucina’s here, and Ike’s here.

This was all done on my free time, and so took a while. It was certainly a lot of work, but I do hope you enjoy! I am unemployed… so please consider donating if you like the work I do. : )

Enjoy! Feel free to email or comment with more requests related to FE in general.
