Hello, friends. You have no doubt noticed the rate of high-quality screenshots has slowed down these past several months. That would be because I’ve been busy on another project entirely:

Thracia 776, the last entry in the Fire Emblem series that had remained untranslated, has finally received a fan translation patch over 19 years after its release. Initially released for the Nintendo Power download system in Japan, the title also had a limited cartridge run for the SNES.



The patch, dubbed “Project Exile,” is a full translation patch which affects all chapters, all menus, all items, all epilogues, the intro and outro crawl, the world map, and much more. It makes Thracia 776 playable in its entirety, and was created by a team led by Cirosan, one of the two curators of this blog.



In addition, the script has been written from scratch, using a new translation done by Cirosan. In the spirit of transparency, complete PDFs of the entire script can be found via a link in the Readme. The patch is intended to be an industry-quality localization of Thracia 776, and the script PDFs contain extensive notes explaining the reasoning of the translator.



Project Exile represents a grand collaboration between many people from across the world, none of whom have ever met in person. The patch team consisted of people from throughout the United States, France, and Austria, who all pooled their expertise and talents to make this patch a reality.



If you’ve never played this lost title in the Fire Emblem series before, there’s never been a better time to jump in. The game takes place midway through the events of Fire Emblem 4, and does spoil a midgame twist, but can otherwise be enjoyed without having played the previous game. In addition, the Project Exile patch takes minor liberties with the script to help elucidate some of the game’s more obtuse mechanics, making blind playthroughs more feasible. Everyone, newcomers and veterans alike, are in for a treat.

Happy gaming!
