Alright, I'm planning to give Fire Emblem 4 some sort of a try, but it seems that finding GOOD translations is pretty painful with these games. The best I found for FE4 was an 80% version that died under one's group and was reborn by another. The other games were just... 20% and an even better 5%. Well, I'll try this game tomorrow to see how it works and stuff.
I'm pretty sure it won't be disappointing, but... I have had some expectations dashed like that before. *Remembers Starfox Adventures* Man... it was hard to come to terms that I spent $30 more than I SHOULD have.  |

I managed to check The Whirlpool on another computer. Seems there are no *complete* translations of any Fire Emblem games (not surprising, considering the complexity), but work is being done. Fire Emblem 6 appears to have a pretty decent translation.
Now, some news on the GC Fire Emblem, an update to the press page...

Game Storyline: Near a mercenary stronghold in Crimea, a kingdom on the continent of Tellius, a soldier named Ike rescues a woman he discovers to be the princess of Crimea. She reveals to him that the neighboring Daein kingdom has invaded, and she must travel to Gallia, home to the half-man/half-beast demihumans. War spreads across the continent as Ike and his swords-for-hire fight to protect the princess and confront headlong the racial tensions and prejudices that have torn a rift between humans and demihumans. As they fight, they learn the true reason for the war, as well as the mystery behind the very creation of their divided world.
Characters: Ike and fellow mercenary Tiamat. New units include "skinshifters" who can transform into beasts, and "taliesins" (temporary name), winged humans who attack from the air.
Demihumans. Kinda already knew about this but they appear to be a major factor in the game. AWESOME. |

I personally find what I've played of Advance Wars slightly more forgiving. In Fire Emblem, if you make a mistake you can screw up and lose units and never get them back. In Advance Wars at least you can usually build some more.
I was also refering to the old Snes Fire Emblem games; damn those are tricky.
EDIT: Oh, and Squashy, I don't think any of the games are completely translated, but FE4 had a fairly progressed translation, if I remember correctly. I would check, but I can't access The Whirlpool for some reason. Go have a lookie...

Yeah, I forgot the "cram as many languages as possible into one cart" variation as well.  It can be done three ways then, put it that way. |

Well, most of the time they release a version for whole Europa.
Each time I start Advance wars I can select between severeal languages, it's beyond me why it dosen't save which language I choosen. As I can only read English out of thoose languages.  |

Fire Emblem! Yay!
Reminds me that I need to get around to playing the ones that weren't released in the US. Are any of them translated properly? |

Of course, with the Pokemon games Nintendo just makes a different cart for each language. They'll ONLY do that for a top seller, though. |

Well, I'm going to buy Advance Wars to tide me over until whenever it gets released.. ^-^ And yeah, it looks like the translation is well underway. They have the basis of the previous game to work with, thankfully, so menus and all that are simple. Hopefully that'll make the European translations go faster too. |

May 23.  That's a little early but likely means that the translation's pretty much complete and they're just testing it out.
You'll probably get it in Europe sooner or later. If there's a long delay, download it and then purchase it when it finally comes. |

Myrrh appears to be a character utilising a 'Dragonstone' to transform into a dragon, an ability unique to a certain character class in some Fire Emblem games. This may however be a summon in this game used by a Summoner (called Myrrh, obviously) equiped with this Dragonstone. Who knows.
But this looks like classic Fire Emblem goodness. |

According to the press page, the release date is the 23rd of May.
I too can't wait. If it isn't released in Europe I'll import it if need be.
As we can see, our new heros are called Ephraim and Eirika.
I still wish they would translate Roy's game, but oh well... |

When is the release date   ?
I probably missed it, but I'm jumping on the game as soon as it comes, I've known about it since before the Japanese release, hell I've tried to play the Fire Emblem games since emulating SNES games was new. |

All the "pirates" you're speaking of didn't stop two new games from coming here.
I'd buy if Canadian prices weren't super-high. Or if I had money. |

Well, it's a Pentium II in my bedroom. Quite old but it works with pictures and HTML nicely... (althought MYSQL is slow  )
Althought tell me when it's down, rarely I change IP and... ugh. That hopefully not happens too soon. >.<
Should buy the other Fire emblem game, I think I saw it in shop for a few weeks ago so... |

Ranko, indeed, Fire Emblem 6 was not translated, and Fire Emblem 8 (this one) is being translated, but Fire Emblem 7 has been and that sounds like the one you've downloaded (buy it, you cheapskates, otherwise Nintendo won't translate the rest if they don't sell.. >.>).
They're remarkably tricky games. Harder than Advance Wars (from what I've played). But wonderful fun.
I must say that centaur looks awesome. Check out that axe. Jeez. |
