Revision as of 08:16, 27 October 2010

This translation is intended for people who already know English and are learning Japanese. It is not intended to be used to learn English, because the sentences in English may use strange or awkward wording in order to illustrate the vocabulary and grammar of the original Japanese.

This transcript is for the arcade version. Other versions may differ.

The Japanese in this game tends to be concise, much like newspaper headlines. Hence, sometimes particles will be omitted. As is fitting for military instructions, the game frequently uses the plain imperative form, which is uncommon in normal speech.
