This project was set-up to fully translate the Japanese PS1 game Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere from Japanese to English.
We are translating the in-game text first and making it available as HTML documents. Our ultimate aim is to have a playable game with all the Japanese text translated to English. The difference from the official Namco English release will be that ALL 52 missions will be translated by fans who love the game. We believe that our release of the game will be a much more faithful re-creation in the way the original authors intended. Please note that there is no "roadmap" or timescale for this or the text translations.
From the Wikipedia article:
Released in 1999, the Japanese version is extremely story-driven, featuring anime cutscenes, detailed characters, and 52 missions, with multiple paths through the game and 5 possible endings. The Japanese version introduced some elements carried over to Ace Combat 04, including radio chatter between comrades and enemies, and intelligent wingmen. The American and European versions, released a year later, have been extremely criticized for removing almost all of the story elements, including all of the cutscenes, and cutting the game down to 36 missions.
