[fire emblem] '[Roy's] in Fire Emblem [the first localized one] they just changed his name to Eliwood for some bizarre reason because nintendo localization sucks.' is. a take.

wha

so. gba on switch, right? the jp service showed some other games

including roys game. so on reddit i joked 'roy is NOT our boy'

and got this reply

even I know that they're family, and i don't. fire emblem.

... doesn’t... eliwood appear in roy’s story for dad purposes?

yeah!!

nods... I’m pretty baffled about that take

plz tell me someone corrected them

"No his father is Elbert. Or Elubaato in Japanese. Again weird that they censored it but that's treehouse for you. They want to censor every Japanese game and keep fans outside Japan from enjoying them."

i corrected them

that was their reply

oh my god lmao

i am. staring.

....I... was treehouse even the localization team back then????

they did exist!

i know they did animal crossing

OH MY GOD

"It's just utterly weird that they changed the names of the characters after their original names were in Smash. Go figure Nintendo. They originally wanted to cut Marth and Roy from smash anyway.

I guess they figured that Hector was more "masculine" than Marth or something, they changed his design as well to make him look less effeminate.

Roy getting changed to Eliwood is just utterly bizzare though. I guess they wanted to pick some unique name for marketing?"

???

.....

I... wow. I I'm just flabbergasted

I think they gotta be trolling at this point

anyway they go here exactly as little as you do and, well. ignoring the fact that roy and eliwood show up seperately in awakening and roy shows up from a "different era" as lyn/hector and engage

we could also go to the gacha for super easy reference

aka "roy takes his dad to prom"

in engage*

another fire emblem friend showed me THE LITL BOY

…pats for roy?

small and dear
