Front Mission 2 English translation

What it adds

This project starts from the dialogue of the earlier Front Mission 5 Team translation and goes after everything that version could not reach: item and part descriptions, system messages, the weapon and part stat icons, and network passwords that were missing or broken. The author considers it about 90% complete and playable from beginning to end, with some interface graphics still in Japanese.

Early builds used machine-translated placeholders for some of the leftover text; since version 1.1 that text is adapted from the official English of the Front Mission 2 remake instead, so the patch no longer relies on machine translation.

Playing it

The patch is made for the Japanese 1.1 revision of the game; apply it to your own copy following the creator's instructions. Battles load slowly on emulators, so raising the emulator's CD read speed-up is worthwhile.
