electrosphere

In the article it says "It could also load itself through an available connection into the Electrosphere or enemy aircraft." but prior that is nowhere explained what Electrosphere is. Anyone? 83.150.117.22 (talk) 20:29, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

remake

I hope they make a remake for the game now that would be great. I am trying to get my own version of the japanese one (Who cares if you have no clue as to what they're saying its better than the U.S. one).Sam ov the blue sand 02:01, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We're attempting to translate the Japanese version of the game - check out http://projectnemo.net. Thanks! - ImranC —Preceding unsigned comment added by ImranC (talk • contribs) 20:23, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jaeger/Yaeger?

I clearly saw from the profile file that Erich's name is Erich Jaeger, as in MGS' Frank Jaeger. How come it's refernced to be a misspelling of Yeager? Dr. Rondart 19:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)Dr. RondartDr. Rondart 19:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support This is uncontroversial, so I don't see the problem. DS9 Voyager 02:53, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. There's no need to include subtitle. Omission of subtitle is common ("Ace Combat 3" -"Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere"). As there are no other article named "Ace Combat 3", there's no problem about preciseness either. Are there any guidelines which say subtitles should be included? --Kusunose 05:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hyperlinks to non english page.

The hyperlinks labled New Space Order lead to a non english article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.52.27 (talk) 21:55, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested Move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Because the majority of Ace Combat game articles feature subtitles (Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception, etc.) feature sub-titles, and moreover Ace Combat 3 is referred to by its full name as their official titles on respected video game sites (IGN, GameSpot) I propose we repoen the discussion that the Ace Combat 3 article be moved to Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. --Hydrokinetics12 (talk) 01:39, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I second. It should include the subtitle like the articles of the other titles in the series. pmt7ar ^(t|c) 04:08, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

i also second. a wikipedia search for electrosphere immediatly forwards the searcher to the page ioniosphere — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.28.249.21 (talk) 10:58, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. Number 5 7 12:54, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ace Combat 3 → Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere – All other games in the series with subtitles are referred to on Wikipedia including their subtitle; see Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, etc. The subtitle "Electrosphere" should be included in this article for consistency with the other games as described at WP:NAMINGCRITERIA. Additionally, as stated in previous discussions, respected gaming sites such as IGN and GameSpot refer to Ace Combat 3 with the subtitle in the name; see IGN's page here and GameSpot's page here. I propose we re-open and get a final consensus one way or the other on this move discussion. ~SlyCooperFan1 23:33, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support to match the rest of the series. There is no clear common name, but there is nothing to be lost from having a consistent naming scheme for the franchise. O N R (talk) 18:28, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lone primary sources and verifiability

I asked this at the main Ace Combat article, and I’m asking here, too. The claims about UGSF (and AC3’s inclusion in it) seem to be attributable only to a single primary source written in Japanese. There doesn’t seem to be any coverage of it, in any language, outside of fansites and forums. Is this verifiable enough and encyclopedic enough to remain? —174.141.182.82 (talk) 00:36, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, any objections to removing that paragraph? It is sourced, but if true, it seems a pretty big deal that should be verifiable by secondary sources, and it doesn’t appear to be. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 04:21, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Have you checked with any of the interpreters that I recommended? Scr★pIron^IV 04:34, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. See Talk:Ace Combat. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 03:24, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@ScrapIronIV: [1] Care to comment here? —174.141.182.82 (talk) 21:03, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I’m taking the liberty of cross-posting ScrapIron’s relevant comments here:

The source you had provided, while a non-english and primary source, was supported by blogs and fan sites. This may not be optimal, but it is adequate, particularly considering the subject. We are dealing with a series of video games, not the biography of a hero or the history of a piece of world-changing engineering. The availability of sources is dependent upon the importance of the subject. What we have is probably as good as is available. So, relax a bit, and offer information instead of stressing over it. This is an article about a series of video games on Wikipedia; no one will live or die based upon the inclusion of this trivial information on a trivial subject. —originally posted to User talk:ScrapIronIV 04:18, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Removed an unsourced paragraph

The following paragraph has been flagged as needing citation for two and a half years, so I’ve taken the liberty of removing it:

However, in planning the North American/European release on March 22, 2000, Namco Hometek cut out all of the Japanese version's anime cutscenes and related voiceovers, and limited the branching 52-mission storyline to just 36 missions in a linear storyline. Officials said the content in the Japanese version was not important to the game, but Namco Bandai spokesman Naoto Maeda later hinted at a possible remake if there is enough demand and various issues can be resolved.

Also, it seems bad form to begin a paragraph with a conjunctive adverb (“however”) which refers to a preceding paragraph. —67.14.236.50 (talk) 11:20, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
