It stated that there was an additional option within the Japanese language settings to change them to the Kansai dialect, a regional dialect common in western Japan. To get straight to the point, the rumor is false and no such option exists, but the game does feature enough of the Kansai dialect that the rumor was able to pick up steam in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Fire Emblem Engage<\/em> is a simulation RPG for the Nintendo Switch developed by Intelligent Systems. The game takes place on the continent of Elyos, where players join the battle as Alear, a Divine Dragon. It introduces the Engage System which allows players to summon and fight alongside characters from previous entries in the series using Emblem Rings. Additionally, it marks the return of the weapon triangle, as well as the new Break and Chain Guard mechanics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The below tweet is what set off the rumor regarding Kansai dialect in the game:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u8a00\u8a9e\u8a2d\u5b9a\u300c\u95a2\u897f\u300d\u306b\u3057\u305f\u3089\u5168\u30dc\u30a4\u30b9\u95a2\u897f\u5f01\u306b\u306a\u3063\u3066\u8349 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FE%E3%82%A8%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B2%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B8?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FE\u30a8\u30f3\u30b2\u30fc\u30b8<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NintendoSwitch?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NintendoSwitch<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Z3tfGg7xfz\">pic.twitter.com\/Z3tfGg7xfz<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u96fb\u8133\u5996\u602a\u30c1\u30e8\u30cf (@chiyomother_JP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chiyomother_JP\/status\/1617044066860150784?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 22, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><font size=\"2\"><strong>Tweet Translation:<br><\/strong>If you select \u2018Kansai\u2019 in the language settings, everyone starts speaking in Kansai dialect lol.<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The video in the above tweet clips out a section where NPCs speak in Kansai dialect.

In this village, everyone speaks with the Kansai dialect for some reason. Even the characters that join your party there. As someone living in the Kansai region, it felt like they were laying on the Kansai dialect pretty thick.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-003.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-003-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-003-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-003-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-003-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-003-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-003-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-003-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230123-234602-003-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The Kansai dialect has a distinctive vibe to it that is immediately noticeable, and this sudden switch to a regional dialect sticks out since the majority of people in this fantasy world use standard Japanese. The game doesn\u2019t provide an explanation as to why this specific dialect is used in the village either, which makes it even more odd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><s>Furthermore, there doesn\u2019t seem to be any especially strong dialects used for Tea-Field Village in the English version.
