Does anyone here know Japanese?

Or could find out what some Japanese text said from looking at a few screen shots?

PSP/Corey might know some Japanese. I'll message him when he's on aim.

With some effort, yes. My japanese is a bit rusty though -- I'm very heavy on looking up in dictionaries, which is much easier if the text is in ... text format. In the case of PSIII there are no kanji, so it is at least readable without a dictionary, and thus much easier to look up.

Yeah that site you had seems to be pretty solid... We could probably get to the bottom of everything, although, I do believe the timeline has been figured out.

I know Japanese. And trust me when I say I really do know it, not just simple phrases or how to read simple katakana or anything. So many people will use small abilities like that to claim fluency in any language :p

Okay, you're hired! Want to translate the text in Phantasy Star 3? We have a Japanese site... Actually, we don't even need it entirely translated, just anything that has Numbers... We've been trying to figure out the timeline... Although if you did want to translate the entire script, I'd happily hack the rom, and translate it.

I can help out if you have stuff to show me. I don't think I have the time to commit to an entire script though. :/
