==INTRODUCTION==
Hello, Shrinemaiden forums. This thread will serve as a translation patch repository for the numerous Fantasy Maiden Wars games (Genso Shojo Wars in japanese). Fantasy Maiden Wars is a strategy RPG done in the style of the Super Robot Wars games, a series of crossovers between a ton of different robot animes and video games. Fantasy Maiden Wars, for the most part, is a retelling of pre-Ten Desires-era Touhou games starting from the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil and ending with an original scenario. In order, the games go Scarlet (S), Mystic (M), Eternity (E), and Dream (D), and Complete Box (X), an all-in-one compilation of every game.
Previously I've been posting our patch updates in the old FMW Mystic thread started by Yamsman, however I've recently realized it's just more efficient to make a new thread so I can keep updated links in the first post. It still seems like people aren't fully aware that translation patches even exist for Mystic or Eternity, which is definitely not the case.
Translation efforts for Scarlet, Mystic, and Eternity are more or less done. There are a few things in Mystic and Eternity that were left untranslated; these are for purely technical reasons that would make the game impossible to play or significantly hamper the game experience. We ask for your understanding regarding these issues.
The patches are currently being maintained by our translation group, White Jade Belvedere. We are not interested in recruiting any more help than we currently have, and we are not okay with anyone using our translations as a base for their own patches of any kind. Whatever we leave alone in our patches, we left alone for a good reason.
==PATCH LINKS==
All patches are first uploaded to the
Akurasu wiki. Patches will also be linked here for courtesy. To patch your game, simply drag and drop the data files in the zip/rar archives into the respective game's data folder.
BE SURE TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL DATA FILES SOMEWHERE. YOU WILL NEED THEM IN CASE YOU NEED TO UPDATE THE GAME OR SOMETHING ELSE HORRIBLE HAPPENS. Just to be safe, please.
Fantasy Maiden Wars Scarlet (English patch v1.02)Originally made by Deranged and some other fairies on pooshlmer. They seem to have all vanished off the face of the internet since then.
Requires game version v1.1.2. Sanbondo have since released a 1.2.0 patch for Scarlet, this translation
will definitely not work if you try to use it on 1.2.0.
Fantasy Maiden Wars Mystic (English Patch v1.1)Originally made by us, the White Jade Belvedere, both before and after we
became the world class translation group we are today formally congealed into an organized group.
Requires game version v1.2.0. Currently up-to-date.
Fantasy Maiden Wars Eternity (English Patch v1.1)Originally made by us, the White Jade Belvedere.
Requires game version v1.2.0. Currently up-to-date.
Fantasy Maiden Wars Dream (English Patch v.51)Contains skills, abilities, weapons, items, spirits, danmaku effects, and scenario dialogue for Chapters 56, 57, and 77.
Currently being worked on by us, the White Jade Belvedere. There is an ongoing
translation Let's Play on the SomethingAwful forums that you can read, if you're interested (and if the paywall isn't currently up).
Requires game version v1.2.1. Currently up-to-date.
We are working on a translation patch for Fantasy Maiden Wars Complete Box! Since the game is currently still unfinished, I have nothing to show publicly. However, that will change in the future...
Godspeed, Sheephu the hedgehog.
