Ribald Tales of the Faith War

Not kidding.

NOT KIDDING.

FE13 has a character reading what must be the trash novel version of FE4 and that's how they localized it.

You can't make up shit any better than this.

Sorry to intrude, but... What exactly is the context for that ? I'm seriously curious to read the thing, if only because I'm not actually sure I understand what you mean.

PS : speaking of localization, thanks, IS, for making my pen name obsolete :P

PPS : And a belated Happy New Year to you ! (or an early Chinese New Year, take it however you want)

EDIT : Wait, I turned my brain on and now I get it. But still, what's the context ?

Do you know where this is? I wanna see the original text on that. It may have been a humorous title to begin with.

It's the Avatar/Sumia B-support.

ETA: I linked only to that specific post revealing the location of the book title.

... oh my god it just says "seisen no keifu", the normal title of FE4. what the fuck is wrong with NoA?

[raphiael]

can I selectively reject this localization

[kyusil]

That's not what they're calling the actual game. It's still "Genealogy" of something.

[zyriex]

HA! This reminds me of the earlier translated Japanese supports that features Naesala and Leanne's "romance" (if FE10 could be said to have any...) as a dramatic play

[raphiael]

(if FE10 could be said to have any...)

ehh? It's not jam-packed with EVERYBODY GETS MARRIED, but the whole story gets started because of interracial love gone horribly wrong. There's plenty of romance in FE10; it's just not purely in supports and not super gushy sparkly in your face, which FE rarely is. FE9's the one where nobody gets together.

[zyriex]

Well true, but I view it more as backstory and political tragedy stuff since we don't really get to "see" the romance or the couple really interacting. The romance jab was aimed more towards the people hooking up with what seems like no provocation due to the generic, hardly there supports. Sure the base for the couples was there and could be inferred, but it still felt so static

[raphiael]

Mm, personally I found the romances better woven into the story, as opposed to the supports in older games that didn't always hook back in. Geoffrey/Elincia and Ike/Soren had piles of stuff through both games, and Micaiah/Sothe made up for lost time throughout RD. When I think "static" and "out of nowhere", I think of FE4, myself :P

OMG YOUR ICON. is so adorable :B

[booksandanimals2000]

Somehow, FE4 is the perfect FE to have a trashy novel written about it. Considering all the pairings and incest and such.

[booksandanimals2000]

On a side note, this icon does not fit the above post well.

[kyusil]

Oh gosh that's hilarious. And considering the FE4 post you just made makes it even funnier.

[samuraiter]

Everything I have seen of this localization has me extremely optimistic.

Like this line making the rounds:

"Talking to you is like dancing. It's exhausting and sweaty and I hate it."
