Fire Emblem: Souen no Kiseki English translation
ファイアーエムブレム 蒼炎の軌跡 · Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
An English patch for the Japanese release of Path of Radiance, made so players can try Maniac mode, the hardest difficulty that the Western version dropped.
Why translate a game that is already in English?
Path of Radiance was localized, but the Western release swapped the Japanese Maniac difficulty for an easier mode. The only way to play Maniac is with the Japanese disc, and this patch by shadowofchaos makes that version readable in English.
What's translated
The patch is listed as fully playable at version 0.1. The animated cutscenes stay in Japanese with no subtitles, so this is best suited to players who already know the story from the Western release and are mainly after the extra challenge.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the game, following the creators' instructions. It is made for the Japanese disc. The patch and its notes are on the romhacking.net entry.
