Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem English translation

ファイアーエムブレム 新・紋章の謎 ~光と影の英雄~ · Fire Emblem: Shin Monshou no Nazo - Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu · Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem - Heroes of Light and Shadow

The Heroes of Shadow team's complete English translation of the Japan-only DS remake of Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, covering the story, base conversations, side chapters and menus.

What's translated

Version 3.00 was the team's first complete release in November 2012, after earlier menu-only patches. It covers the main story and prologue, the base conversations, sidequests and bonus chapters, the menus and the tutorial help cards. A few names of weapons and spells were localized with new English names rather than kept literal.

Version 3.01, out two weeks later, fixes letters being cut off in the dialogue name boxes, corrects a long list of typos reported by players and drops one joke from the bonus episodes.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese game following the readme. Saves carry over between the Japanese version and every version of the patch, so updating does not cost your progress. Several later fan addenda build on this patch; they are separate projects by other people.
