Fire Pro Wrestling Z English translation
ファイヤープロレスリングZ · Faiyā Puro Resuringu Z
A full English patch for the Japan-only PS2 Fire Pro, covering every mode, seven story scenarios, the 244-wrestler roster and 1,448 moves, plus an unlock option that makes a hidden Jushin Thunder Liger story playable.
What's translated
kactusken's patch turns the whole game into English: all modes and menus, the story scenarios (more than 12,000 pages of text), the names and profiles of all 244 wrestlers, the 1,448 moves and the menu graphics that carried Japanese text. To fit English into the story window, which holds only 20 Japanese characters per line, every cell draws a pair of letters in a purpose-made font.
Extras
The download offers the roster with real names or with the game's parody names, each also in an All Unlocked version. The unlocked patches open every scenario and wrestler from the start and rebuild an unfinished seventh story left on the disc, starring Jushin Thunder Liger, into 26 proper matches with both endings. They also add six completed moves that the game never offered. A detailed player's guide covers every mode, story route and wrestler.
Status
This is the first public beta: everything is translated and every mode has been played in an emulator, but not every story route has been finished, and the patch has not been tried on a real console. The translation is flagged as AI-assisted.
