![Fire Emblem Fates-Soleil Foleo As seen previously, the conversation is completely changed, instead of a confession from Foleo, we have a semi-non- friday Anyway, in the original, Foleo finally expresses his inner issues with how he thinks others see him, the localization misses that, actually, the localization misses any type of characterization, or at least, meaningful characterization. Soleil taks about her own preferences in romance and also shows a more embarrassed side which is usually absent from the really socially free Soleil. The localization talks about a bottle of shampoo. Oh and, it finally shows what they wanted to make Foleo become. If you've seen C, B and A, you'd know Foleo has some issues with his apperance in the original, the localization takes that out. Let that sink ih. If you want to see all the other documented Fire Emblem Fates changes, check this link: #Torrentia!Downpour S Suppo Translation Nintendo of America Ver Forrest: Hello, Soleil. Im sorry again about the hair debacle! You've looked so down ever since! I can make it up to you. I'd be happy to sew you like mine? Would that cheer you up?

Foleo: So you're not interested in boys? I mean Forrest: Why would you say that? There are other Soleil: I wouldnt say I'm not interested in them Soleil: Really?

![Fire Emblem Fates - Lazwald x Luna Lazwald's change to being an "annoyance" is now part of his character in the S support, changing his way of approaching Selena again, taking away from the purpose of the conversation. Most likely because they had to put something in there after they ve already changed Lazwald's character in the t string Odin's insertion is another reminder of discontinuity in the conversations not being fixed properly There are various other lines that were altered or cut to change their interactions and character. For example, Selena doesn't show her less rough side of her character, every mention of it has been cut out or altered in the localization, embarrassment and bashfulness seem to be a target for alteration for whatever reason. As usual, romance, nuance and depth have been shred apart (and probably in this case because they wanted to fit Selena completely in the "Tsundere" character trope without having her also resort to physical violence) #Torrential Downpour S Support Translation Nintendo of America Ver. [ラズワルド] Lazwald: Luna, I have a gift for you today! Laslow: Selena, my darling! I have a gift for you 今日は君に贈り物があるんだ。 Luna: Lazwald what's with you all of a Selena: Hm? For me? ラズワルド [ラズワルドしたっ(いうの?

Luna: Finally! Why dont you just say it honestly Selena: Finally! There it is! Took you long 最初から素直にそう言ってよね! [ラズワルド] Lazwald: Well will you tell me your answer? Laslow: So, um... Do you have an answer for me? それで レーナの返事を聞いてもいいかな? Selena: Oh. Right. I guess it's my turn.

I am yours forever, my love 絶対しあわせにするよ、 お姫様! Selena: So…you know this means you can't be Laslow Selena Laslow: Just kidding! Of course I know that! I promise to devote from here on out.

![Fire Emblem Fates - Lazwald x Luna Here it's more apparent why the cut line in the C conversation takes away a lot of meaning behind their discussion of their previous home, there's also an odd insertion of "Odin" in this conversation this just confuses the reader more because of the lack of mention of their "previous home". Selena continues to suffer from having her character being exaggerated and putting Lazwald down some more. The original Selena is still giving him more space to breathe instead Lazwald is also no longer portrayed as being oblivious and lacking self-awareness, but as an #Torrential Downpour origi Translation Nintendo of America Ver. ズワルド : What do you want, Luna: Lazwald Lazwald: You totally got me the last time I thought I was going to die to fromm ラズワルド [ラズワルド] aslow: Oh, thank goodness!

![Fire Emblem Fates - Lazwald x Luna There's a lot of additional fluff which is impossible to reproduce for the type of character that Selena is, which is why the original chose an implied seductive stare (or ust have Lazwald show his actually shy and awkward side because Selena's attentive stare is getting to him, since it's translated as an "intense stare") Like every time it happened before, these conversations lose a lot of nuance and depth again. Selena in the localization sounds like she's angry with him just pestering other girls and hurting their feelings (Selena: I don't care what your intentions are! It's not your intentions that matter. It's how the other person feels. Do you get it yet?), while in the original, she's angry because she's giving them attention instead of her, which is what is implied in the original (and later on in the next support conversations). Selena is talking about herself when mentioning "other women" (e.g. when she mentions that it's embarrassing, when she mentions that Lazwald plays with women's hearts, etc) Lazwald becomes oblivious again, instead of accepting his "problem" (this is because of extra additions in the localization), he suddenly has no self-awareness again Besides the conversation having the same issue like some Camilla, Aqua and Nyx ones.

![Fire Emblem Fates - Nishiki x Aqua As described in the A conversation, the tail is still important because it's not only used as a way to "expose the fox" like in folklore, it's a way to also expose other's lies. Aqua is being dishonest about her mental and physical state (she's really tired), and the tail entrances her for the purpose of putting her to sleep. This cut line "You remain so graceful in your strong resolve to live, and yet here, only with me, you show me your weaknesses.." Pinpoints exactly the problem in this situation All of this is cut in the localization The conversation is also a lot more direct with the confession, while the original tried to escalate it The general lack of depth and general childish dialogue that is ever present in every localized dialogue is also present here, obviously #Torrentia!Downpour Translation Nintendo of America Ver. Azura: Zzz... Zzz Nishiki: You're finally sleeping well . Aqua Here I am, gazing at your sleeping face Aqua, sleeping like that.

![Fire Emblem Fates - Nishiki x Aqua Because of the changes to the C and B supports, the localized version just had to give Aqua reasons for what she is doing. The conversation become more childish and lackluster, even taking out lines that deepen the bond between Aqua/Azura and Nishiki/Kaden There's more depth lost on the meaning of the tails again, but it's only in the support S that there's an explanation, so for the reason, I will spoil the meaning only in the S support. #Torrentia!Downpour Translation Nintendo of America Ver.

![Fire Emblem Fates - Nishiki X Aqua The first thing to mention is how the localizers have made a mistake in their translation. They translate原っぱ("harappa" or "open field") to葉っぱ(happa" or "leaves"). Which is why Kaden/ Nishiki rolls around in leaves rather than in an open, grassy field which by definition tends to have no leaves As explained in the C conversation, the identity of the fox and their magic depends on their tails (catching their tail is also a way to de-mask them, which is present in the folklore), so Aqua getting entranced is part of the legend of the "kitsune". This can be framed as a "cultural change", but the dialogue is too descriptive for people in the west to not understand. This again, is completely missing, and was the main theme during the whole conversations Aqua/Azura seems to guilt trip herself in the localization for touching Kaden/Nishiki's fur without permission, while in the original, that type of implication is not present. It's probably because of the missing reason for why she was doing such a thing, that being, her inability to stop because of the magical powers of the tail #Torrentia!Downpour B Suppo Translation Nintendo of America Ver Nishiki: U-urm na What's this? how did I get here again? Oh, yeah! I wandered through this field when I decided to roll around Why have I been sleeping in an open field? Ah! That's right! I'd been rolling around in this in the leaves! They felt SO good. I curled up and omfy, grassy grove, and then I must have fallen asleep Sheesh. always told I've got no sense of the danger of あれ went to sleep. Ha! No wonder people call me lazy! ...Huh?

![Fire Emblem Fates - Nishiki X Aqua The dialogue has had cultural alterations to it, specifically to the power of the kitsune's tail. In Japanese folklore, a kitsune is a fox with great intelligence that most of the times also have magical powers and wisdom which increases with the time they are alive (and with the tails), they have the power to shapeshift in men or women which they use in various ways depending on the story The fox's tail is important because it's related to their magical powers (besides their identity), and they have difficulty hiding them when in human form, which is why in folklore, one of the ways to determine their identity is to check for their tails when they're confused, drunk, eto In our case, Aqua is entranced by his tail, this whole cultural part of the conversation is completely missing, instead, it's trivialized by making it seem as if Aqua has an obsession with "cute and fluffy things, when it's the magic doing this to her. Further explanations can be seen on the B conversation in As for the rest of the changes, they're the general cut lines and alterations, besides trivializing the characters personalities. Eg. "I gotta practice so everyone will think I'm cool, calm, and collected- #Torrentia!Downpour Translation Nintendo of America Ver. Nishiki: Hey Aqua, how's it going? Kaden: Hiya, Azura! ...Geez.
