I’m starting a fan translation for Fire Emblem: Three Houses to understand what kind of changes localization companies decide to make when translating for general audiences. I will be translating more literally to contrast with the official English translation.

Summary of changes:

Sothis teases you for watching her sleep, rather than calling you rude for interrupting her sleep.

The original translation for “I’m a demon” is “I’m an evil god”.

Jeralt speaks in regional dialect, sounding like a Kanto tough guy.

The option Jeralt doesn’t like in “A Skirmish at Dawn” makes more sense.

Claude’s Talk option in battle is pretty funny in hindsight.

Jeralt’s nickname actually means “The Blade who Breaks” as opposed to “The One who Breaks Blades”.

“I am no child” is a much funnier answer in the Japanese version.

Byleth asks Sothis to do a “Za Warudo”.

The “I’m a bandit” joke is explained a bit more.

Claude acts extra cute in “The Prince, the Princess and the Heir”

Claude asks what is your preference instead of your allegiance.

Your thoughts about the three class leaders are a bit more detailed.

You took! Everything……! From me!

Mother…

What are you doing over there? Tailtean Plains, Imperial Year 91

Soldier: Huh?

Soldier: Lady Seiros!

Seiros: Tell me, Nemesis,

do you recall the Red Canyon?

You’ll die for that! Die, die!

You took…everything… that I loved!

He’s gone now, Mother…

わしはもう一眠りするかな……ふわぁ…… むにゃ……はじ……かい……

すぅ…… ???: *yawn* I do not know how you managed to get into this place…

Sneaking a peek at my sleeping face, are you?

*sigh*… Good grief.

*sigh*… Good grief. Come a little closer. Let me get a good look at your appearance.

Oh? A face I have not seen before.

Just what are you?

Just what are you? > “I’m a ghost”

> “I’m an evil god”

???: Do not spout lies. You will keep your teasing of me within limits.

???: Do not spout lies. You will keep your teasing of me within limits. > “I’m a human”

???: A human, you said you are? In that case, introduce yourself. Hurry it up now, won’t you?

???: A human, you said you are? In that case, introduce yourself. Hurry it up now, won’t you? ???: I see. As expected of a child of man, it is a name I am not accustomed to.

Since you are human, you should be able to answer this as well. Which day of which moon were you born?

???: What?! Being the same as mine is…! Hmm, yet another strange coincidence we have here.

This feeling is oddly nostalgic but… Maybe I’ll take another nap… *yawn*

Munya… the beginning… is near… Zzz… ???: I wonder how you got in here…

It is most rude to interrupt a moment of repose. Very rude indeed.

Now come to me. I wish to have a look at you.

Hmm… I have not seen the likes of you before. Who are you, anyway?

> “I’m a ghost.”

> “I’m a demon.”

???: Do not deceive. You would do well to keep your wit in line.

???: Do not deceive. You would do well to keep your wit in line. > “I’m a mortal.”

???: I see. Then you must have a name of sorts. Go on.

???: I see. Then you must have a name of sorts. Go on. ???: Huh. I shall not ever grow accustomed to the sound of human names.

You must possess a day of birth as well. Beneath which moon and on what day were you born to this world?

???: Well, wonders never cease! It seems we share our day of birth.

How strange! Hmm. It all feels so…familiar. I think it may be time for yet another nap…

It is almost…time to…begin…

Were you having that dream again?

Were you having that dream again?

> “The dream about a war…”

Jeralt: A clash of large armies that blanketed the great plains, huh? We ain’t had anything like that come up in 300 years.

Jeralt: A clash of large armies that blanketed the great plains, huh? We ain’t had anything like that come up in 300 years. > “The dream about a girl…”

Jeralt: According to your description, I haven’t met anyone like that before.

Jeralt: According to your description, I haven’t met anyone like that before.

Jeralt: Well, whatever. Wipe those things clear from your mind. You won’t need idle thoughts in battle.

Work for us mercenaries is life or death. Unnecessary thinking will get you killed quickly.

Okay, let’s hurry up and get ready. Next up is a job in the Kingdom.

It’s a bit far, so I thought I told you we’d be leaving when dawn breaks.



> “Did you?”

Jeralt: …Good grief. Everyone except you is already waiting outside.

Jeralt: …Good grief. Everyone except you is already waiting outside. > “Now that you mention it…”

Jeralt: …Good grief. Everyone except you is already waiting outside.

Jeralt: …Good grief. Everyone except you is already waiting outside.

Mercenary: Jeralt, sir! Pardon, can you come with me?

Jeralt: What’s wrong?



Dimitri: Our absolute sincerest apologies!

Jeralt: What are you kids all gathered here for at this hour?

Dimitri: Truth is, we were chased here by bandits.

Would you kindly lend us your strength?

Would you kindly lend us your strength? Jeralt: Bandits, you say…?

Edelgard: Yes, we were attacked while making camp.

Claude: We were separated from our skilled colleagues and outnumbered. They were about to steal not only our gold, but our lives!

Jeralt: You’re remarkably easygoing despite all that… Hm? That uniform…

Mercenary: People’s shadows outside the village! Tch… there’s quite a large family of them.

Jeralt: So they came? Ugh. Nevermind the kids, there’s no way we’re going to abandon this village…

Hey, let’s go. You ready? Jeralt: Hey. Time to wake up.

Were you having that dream again?

Were you having that dream again?

> “I was dreaming about a war…”

Jeralt: Massive armies clashing on a vast field, right? There hasn’t been a battle like that in over three centuries

Jeralt: Massive armies clashing on a vast field, right? There hasn’t been a battle like that in over three centuries > “I was dreaming about a young girl…”

Jeralt: You’ve described her to me before. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone like that.

Jeralt: You’ve described her to me before. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone like that.

Jeralt: In any case, just put that out of your mind for now. The battlefield is no place for idle thoughts.

Risking your life is part of the job for mercenaries like us. Letting your mind wander is a sure way to get yourself killed.

OK, time to get moving. Our next job is in the Kingdom.

I told you before. It’s far from here, so we’ll need to leave at dawn.



> “Oh, right…”

Jeralt: Hm? Good grief. Everyone is already waiting for us outside.

Jeralt: Hm? Good grief. Everyone is already waiting for us outside. > “Of course”

Jeralt: Hm? Good grief. Everyone is already waiting for us outside.

Jeralt: Hm? Good grief. Everyone is already waiting for us outside.

Mercenary: Jeralt! Sir! Sorry to barge in, but your presence is needed.

Jeralt: What’s happened?



Dimitri: Please forgive our intrusion. We wouldn’t bother you were the situation not dire.

Jeralt: What do a bunch of kids like you want at this hour?

Dimitri: We’re being pursued by a group of bandits. I can only hope that you will be so kind as to lend your support.

Jeralt: Bandits? Here?

Edelgard: It’s true. They attacked us while we were at rest in our camp.

Claude: We’ve been separated from our companions and we’re outnumbered. They’re after our lives…not to mention our gold.

Jeralt: I’m impressed you’re staying so calm considering the situation. I… Wait. That uniform…

Mercenary: Bandits spotted just outside the village. Damn… There are a lot of them.

Jeralt: I guess they followed you all the way here. We can’t abandon this village now.

Come on, let’s move. Hope you’re ready.

巻き込まれたこっちだ……。 Jeralt: Let’s clean up quickly so the village doesn’t get caught up in this mess, Byleth!

Start by dealing with the enemies in front. Take the wind out of their sails!

Jeralt: Let’s proceed while preparing for an enemy attack. Take position even inside a forest.

Jeralt: Alright, that’s good. After all, you’ll receive an advantage against attacks from enemies if you’re inside a forest.

Jeralt: This is a good opportunity. Try using the combat art I taught you here!

Jeralt: When you attack with allies nearby, the enemy will be intimidated and attacks will become easier!

Kostas: Damn… Why are there mercenaries in the village…!

In that case, we’ll beat em all up!

In that case, we’ll beat em all up!

Edelgard: You have a strange air about you.

If you say you’re a mercenary, will you show us your skill? Don’t worry about your reward, you’ll get one.



Dimitri: Thank you. We are saved, thanks to you. After all, we won’t have to die in a place like this.

I’m sorry, but please lend us your strength. Let’s drive out the bandits, together.



Claude: My bad, my bad. Looks like I get to escape death thanks to you guys.

Finding skilled mercenaries in this remote village… Surely Heaven is watching over me thanks to my good conduct!



Kostas: Shit! As long as I kill you here…!



Kostas: Hey you, swinging your sword with no expression! Don’t get in my way!



Kostas: You, it can’t be… Jeralt the Breaker Blade?

Why the hell is a highly skilled mercenary like you here?

Jeralt: I got caught up in this mess, so I should be in one complaining… Jeralt: Let’s take care of those thieves before they overrun the village.

Take down the enemies in front first. That should take the wind out of their sails.

We’ll advance while protecting ourselves from the enemy. Take up position inside the forest.

Jeralt: Yes, good. If we’re in the forest, we can sustain their attacks without losing the advantage.

Jeralt: This is a fine opportunity. Use the combat arts I taught you!

Jeralt: Attack when an ally is nearby, and the enemy will be intimidated, making them easier to hit.

Kostas: Damn. Why are there mercenaries in the village? Guess we’ll have to deal with them too.



Edelgard: You have a strange aura about you…

You say you’re a mercenary, so show me what you can do.



Dimitri: Thank you. We are in your debt. It wouldn’t do for us to fall in a place like this.

Please, lend us your strength. Let’s work together to drive out these thieves!



Claude: It’s because of you guys that I’m not dead right now. Thanks for that!

I didn’t expect to run into mercenaries like you in some remote village. The gods of fortune must be smiling on me!



Kostas: I’m gonna kill you where you stand…



Kostas: Hey, you with the blank stare! Outta my way!



Kostas: What the?! Aren’t you Jeralt the Blade Breaker?

What’s a renowned mercenary like you doing here?

Jeralt: I’m the one who should be complaining. I’m caught up in the mess you started!

Well, it’s fine.

After all if you don’t know the value of your own life

you’re not going to protect it very well are you?

You can call me Sothis…

時のよすがを辿りて、己が答えを見出せ！ Sothis: …Hmmm.

Sothis… Sothis. To somebody, I am Sothis.

And also, The Beginning…? Who in the world called me that…?

> “What are you talking about?”

> “Sothis”?

Sothis: Huh? I was unable to remember anything except my name until now.

Sothis: Huh? I was unable to remember anything except my name until now. Just earlier, it just instantly came out of my mouth. Sometimes strange things happen…

What’s with that face? Did you think I was a child who did not know her own name?

Hmph. Then tell me, what does that make someone whose life was saved by said child?



> “Not a child”

Sothis: Ohoh, such pride. It appears only your appearance is grown up!

Sothis: Ohoh, such pride. It appears only your appearance is grown up! > “Lower than a child…”

Sothis: That’s right! You understand well, don’t you?

Sothis: That’s right! You understand well, don’t you?

Sothis: Throwing yourself in front of a bandit’s axe to save just one girl.

It’s a good thing I immediately stopped time, or you would have died if I had left things as they were!



> “Thank you”

Sothis: Indeed, you should be honestly grateful. I’m saying that it is worth saving you.

Sothis: Indeed, you should be honestly grateful. I’m saying that it is worth saving you. > “You stopped time?”

Sothis: Did I not hear a single word of gratitude? Do you want to get kicked out of here?

Sothis: Did I not hear a single word of gratitude? Do you want to get kicked out of here? Indeed, you should be honestly grateful. I’m saying it is worth saving you.



Sothis: Though only for a moment, it seems I have stopped time. How did I do that…?

> “What happens when time moves again?”

> “What should we do next?”

Sothis: Yes, when time moves again, that axe will sink nicely into your back… and you will die.

Sothis: Yes, when time moves again, that axe will sink nicely into your back… and you will die. Obviously! *sigh* It’s your fault I have to go through this…

What in the world should I do…?



> “I want to turn back time”

Sothis: That’s it! I should just rewind the time I stopped!

Sothis: That’s it! I should just rewind the time I stopped! > “I want to be the only one who moves while time is stopped”

Sothis: Eugh, did you really think I could handle something that? No, wait…

Sothis: Eugh, did you really think I could handle something that? No, wait… That’s it! I should just rewind the time I stopped!

> “I’ll sit here and wait for death”

Sothis: What nonsense are you spewing! No, wait…

Sothis: What nonsense are you spewing! No, wait… That’s it! I should just rewind the time I stopped!



Sothis: Yes… it looks like I can do it. You really are a troublesome one.

The rewind time is short but if you know what will happen, it should be easier to protect your life.

Now, go! You, whose body carries the flames within. Follow the traces of time and find your own answers! Sothis: Hmm…

Sothis… Yes, that is it. My name is Sothis.

And I am also called…The Beginning. But who once called me that?

> “What are you talking about?”

> “Sothis”?

Sothis: I was not able to recall my name…until just now.

Sothis: I was not able to recall my name…until just now. And just like that, it came to me. How odd.

That look upon your face… Did you think me a child? A mere child who forgot her own name?!

Phooey! That “child” just saved your life! And what does that make you?



> “I am no child.”

Sothis: Ha! Such arrogance. You look the part but are you truly an adult?

Sothis: Ha! Such arrogance. You look the part but are you truly an adult? > “I’m less than a child?”

Sothis: Correct! You understand.

Sothis: Correct! You understand.

Sothis: You threw yourself before an axe to save just one young girl.

Yet all is well, as I have stalled the flow of time for now. You would have died had I not intervened.



> “Thank you”

Sothis: There now. Is gratitude so much to ask? I did deem you worth saving, after all.

Sothis: There now. Is gratitude so much to ask? I did deem you worth saving, after all. > “You stopped time?”

Sothis: Hm. I do not hear your gratitude. Perhaps I should force you to leave?

Sothis: Hm. I do not hear your gratitude. Perhaps I should force you to leave? There now. Is gratitude so much to ask? I did deem you worth saving, after all.



Sothis: Though it is only momentary, time has stopped. However did I manage that?

> “What will happen when time resumes?”

> “What now?”

Sothis: When time begins again, the axe will tear into your flesh, and you will surely meet your end.

Sothis: When time begins again, the axe will tear into your flesh, and you will surely meet your end. How rude of you to drag me into this! Now what to do…

What in the world should I do…?



> “Turn back the hands of time.”

Sothis: Of course! I must turn back the hands of time!

Sothis: Of course! I must turn back the hands of time! > “Keep time frozen until I’m safe.”

Sothis: That is ridiculous! Oh, but perhaps…

Sothis: That is ridiculous! Oh, but perhaps… Of course! I must turn back the hands of time!

> “I’ll just stay here and wait to die.”

Sothis: As though I could stand idly by and watch that come to pass! Oh, but perhaps…

Sothis: As though I could stand idly by and watch that come to pass! Oh, but perhaps… Of course! I must turn back the hands of time!



Sothis: Yes, I do believe it can be done. You really are quite troublesome.

I cannot wind back time too far, but all is well. You are aware of what’s to come, which means you can protect yourself this time.

Now, go… Yes, you who bears the flames within. Drift through the flow of time to find the answers that you seek…

Hey! The thieves are running away. Go after them.

The students seem to be unharmed. And… who’s this?

Jeralt: Ugh… Why him?

まさか逃げようなんて思ってませんよね？ ジェラルト: かのセイロス騎士団を相手に逃げ出せる

なんて、流石の俺も思ってねえよ。

なんて、流石の俺も思ってねえよ。 ソティス: セイロス騎士団、か。

確かに腕が立つ者どものようじゃのう。

確かに腕が立つ者どものようじゃのう。 ほれ、あちらで呼ばれておるぞ。

おぬし、さっさと行ってやれ。 Alois: I knew it! If it isn’t Captain Jeralt! Whoa!! It’s sure been a long time!

Do you remember me?! I’m your self-proclaimed “right-hand man”, Alois!

After you suddenly went missing 20 years ago, I always believed you were still alive!

Jeralt: You always were a noisy guy, Alois. I’m also not a captain anymore.

Now I’m just a wandering mercenary… Speaking of which, I have a job to do. See you later.

Alois: Yeah, hope to see you around somewhere…

Wait, that’s not what’s going to happen! The captain is going to come back with us to the monastery, after all.

Jeralt: Garreg Mach Monastery, huh? *sigh* So this is what it’s come to.

Alois: Oh, could this youngster here be the captain’s child?



> “I’m a total stranger”

Alois: Ha ha ha! Another one with those kinds of jokes! You’ve got the same characteristics as the captain.

Alois: Ha ha ha! Another one with those kinds of jokes! You’ve got the same characteristics as the captain. > “I’m a bandit who escaped too late”

Alois: Ha ha ha! Another one with those kinds of jokes! You’ve got the same characteristics as the captain.

Alois: Ha ha ha! Another one with those kinds of jokes! You’ve got the same characteristics as the captain. > “That’s right”

So I was right? Besides appearances, you’ve got the same characteristics as the captain.

So I was right? Besides appearances, you’ve got the same characteristics as the captain.

Alois: Surely you would like to come see the monastery. Could you accompany me?

Jeralt: …

Alois: What’s wrong, Captain? You weren’t thinking of running off, were you?

Jeralt: From those Knights of Seiros, even I wouldn’t think about running away.

Sothis: Knights of Seiros, huh? They certainly seem like a capable bunch.

Look now, someone’s calling you from over there. You should hurry and go. Alois: Captain Jeralt?! It is you! Goodness, it’s been ages.

Don’t you recognize me? It’s Alois! Your old right-hand man! Well, that’s how I always thought of myself anyway.

It must have been 20 years ago that you went missing without a trace! I always knew you were still alive!

Jeralt: You haven’t changed a bit, Alois. Just as loud as ever. And drop that “captain” nonsense. I’m not your captain anymore.

Wait! That isn’t how this ends! I insist that you return to the monastery with me!

Alois: Right… Good-bye, Captain.

Wait, that’s not what’s going to happen! The captain is going to come back with us to the monastery, after all.

Jeralt: Garreg Mach Monastery… I suppose this was inevitable.

Alois: And how about you, kid? Are you the captain’s child?



> “He is a stranger to me.”

Alois: Great sense of humor, this one. Clearly cut from the same cloth as the captain.

Alois: Great sense of humor, this one. Clearly cut from the same cloth as the captain. > “I’m a bandit.”

Alois: Great sense of humor, this one. Clearly cut from the same cloth as the captain.

Alois: Great sense of humor, this one. Clearly cut from the same cloth as the captain. > “That is correct.”

Alois: Is that so? Well, physical differences aside, your mannerisms do remind me of the captain.

Alois: Is that so? Well, physical differences aside, your mannerisms do remind me of the captain.

Alois: I’d love for you to see the monastery too. You will join me, won’t you?

Jeralt: …

Alois: What’s troubling you, Captain? You aren’t about to run off again, are you?

Jeralt: Even I wouldn’t dare run from the Knights of Seiros.

Sothis: The Knights of Seiros… They do seem rather skilled.

Ah. It seems your presence is required. Get going.
