Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu

Super Nintendo

Game Description

Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, popularly known as "Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War", is a turn based strategy game for the Super Nintendo.

The fourth game in the Fire Emblem series, developed by Intelligent Systems (who worked on the first four installments of the Metroid series and would later go on to create Paper Mario). It introduced the concept of marriage and children to the series gameplay, which would later return in Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates. In addition to the love system, the game also introduces staples of the series such as the weapon triangle and skill system, granting units extra abilities on the field and in combat. However, the game also has some unique features of its own, such as each unit having their own gold supply and the uniquely large maps: instead of seizing a single castle or throne per chapter like in the previous games, the player instead must seize several castles, with the road to each castle somewhat equating a chapter in most other Fire Emblem games.

The plotline takes place in the continent of Jugdral and focuses on Sigurd, who becomes embroiled in a sinister conspiracy. Sigurd must endeavor to foil this sinister plot and protect his allies, and perhaps more importantly his own family, as he faces betrayal, deception, love, and loss. What will the ultimate fate of Sigurd be...?

Translation Description

This is Jay's unofficial FE4 patch, built originally off of his work on J2e's translation but now all of the work is completely the work of Jay and Boo (the translator). Sadly, neither Jay nor Boo have much time to work on such a huge project anymore, but if you'd like to continue their work, be their guest!

The patch's description on the website reads "Not to be enjoyed", and they're completely right. Most stuff has been fully translated and a lot of it looks really nice (the dialogue in Chapters 0 and 1 have been properly revised), but most of it needs a lot of work before this game can be considered anywhere near playable. At least it doesn't crash as much anymore.

All code and translations are now released under the GPL. The current version seems to be 0.50.9.1, but I can't find a patch for it. But here's the source (link) if you want to check that out. It compiles under Linux.
