It brings me great joy to see the Ace Combat 3 fandom is still going strong after 24 years.

Oh, I've been looking forward to this! Very cool to see that even the FMV text was translated.

There is, but this project has no affiliation with the other project/team. It's not too uncommon for a game to have multiple translations. This translation has been made from the ground up and translates every single element in the game that has text, while also providing a few bugfixes. It's up to the fans which patch they want to use!

OMG, I've been waiting for the English patch like forever. Great job for whoever made this happen.

looking foward for the spanish translation, good stuff!

I remember I was I teenager, when by what miracle, I got the Japanese version of AC3, and was getting crazy as couldn't understand what was going on there. Also it was only 1 disc. So some years later, I got the English version, with hopes that I will finally see what was the story about... and I thought it was cut away by Russian pirates. Yeah, in our ex soviet countries, there were no official games, mostly pirate copies from Russia (which were still expensive for a poor country), and sometimes, they would cut videos. But I was even more shocked to learn a decade later, that they cut all that story away from the Western release. And lost all my hopes... until the moment, I saw your translation guys. You're really great. 💙 Love your work and wish you the best of luck for next projects.

This has me extra excited to revisit AC3! finally started playing the sequels but this game will always hit different

The 15 year wait was worth it lol... the amount of time and effort that was put into this fan translation cannot be understated! Phenomenal work!

Will be any kind of subtitles for the radio communications which doesn't have the subtitles bar?

@DfactorLongplays

Жыл бұрын

No. Precisely for the reason you've mentioned, as the original game does not subtitle them. If necessary, translations of them can be released as supplementary material. The barks have a rather simple meaning behind them and are mostly the same across all characters. There are also 3 instances of the game having unsubtitled scenes: Ghosts of the past, Betrayal, True ending pt2. The translation for those is supplemented separately, outside of the game. The scenes will also be viewable on KZread, subtitled.

Yes, it has the same compatibility as the original, retail game. If you can play the untranslated version, then you'll be able to run the patched one too.

One odd question. It says that two missions have their intended BGM, when they didn't before. I want to go in blind, but I have to ask this: is Virgo one of those or is it still an unused track? It's probably my favorite piece on the OST.

@DfactorLongplays

Жыл бұрын

Virgo is still unused. It's not part of the game at all, I think (that's my late night guess). The tracks in question were already part of the game, they were correctly listed in the soundtrack, but they did not play back. The western release also corrected that issue, or more like, circumvented it.

As an xdelta patch, as most translation works do. You apply it to your own clean copy of the game with a Delta Patcher. Since there are a few different 2-disc Japanese/Asian releases, some versions of the game might require additional step of patching. AppenDisc also gets an xdelta patch, which should be applied to the 1st/data track. Mission 00 promotional material will be uploaded to Archive.org for anyone to watch. You will be able to get the patches from the team's website.

The organizer and the writer of the blog post is a non-native. They did not translate, nor QA the English script. The quality of the translation can be previewed on the walkthrough, which is pinned as the top comment here.
