Fire Emblem 25th Anniversary Book on sale Nov. 28th. Info from amazon.jp translated!

Fire Emblem is getting a 25th Annivesary book which will go on sale on November 28th this year. I plan to import it on money I have received from donations (thanks to all who donated!) and hopefully translate any fun things that may come in there. The book itself can be pre-ordered here. Amazon Japan offers relatively cheap international shipping, so check if it can be delivered to you if interested!

Please feel free to donate for that coming project! It will really help me out!

For now, however, I translated Amazon.co.jp’s description on it, which can be seen in both text and image below!

Dengeki Scan on Marriage in Fire Emblem Fates Translated [6/20]

I decided to translate the single page on supports and marriage just to clear up confusion as a lot of misinformation has been spreading around since it was leaked a few days ago. I did not originally plan on doing this… and I am sorry if it is considered a spoiler to some people where to confirm or deny it. I put it past the read more tag for your convenience.

It is just a single page. Head past the break.

Pokemon OR/AS Certificate Translation

The game released in Europe today, so in celebration, here is a brief translational tidbit related to Pokemon!

You get a nice little message from the creators of Pokemon if you bring in a Pokemon all the way from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald to Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire.

Here is the certificate in Japanese, courtesy of nintendoeverything.com

I decided to just translate it to what I assume will be the generic message:

“プレイヤー　____さま

____　との途切れることのない　友情と固く　結ばれた絆を称　ここに　証明します

ゲームフリーク
スタッフ一同”

“Player Mr/Ms ____[Trainer Name]

Here is a certificate in commemoration of your unending love and unbreakable bond with _____[Pokemon].

-Game Freak Staff””

How heartwarming!
