Final Fantasy V: Final Fantasy V - GBA Script Port

As the name implies, this hack is a complete port of the English GBA game's script over the original RPGe fan translation, using Noisecross' http://slickproductions.org/slickwiki/index.php/FF5_Utility:Final_Fantasy_V_Text_Editor. This hack replaces all in-game field text, battle text, spell names, item names, monster names etc. with their relevant GBA equivalents, except where compromises had to be made to accommodate the stricter space limitations of the SNES game. An attempt was made to prefer new creative names over jarring abbreviations where necessary to fit space limitations. Graphics for the fonts were also edited, with the main variable-width font replaced with the thin font from Earthbound, purely because it allowed more space for text, especially in battle. NOTE: As of v1.04, this font has been replaced with a thin font that resembles the font from FF4, for greater consistency.

The project thread is http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=25141.0

The patch should be applied to an unheadered, Japanese Final Fantasy V ROM.

As of v1.1, the new spell system (-aga, -ara) is used rather than the old numbered system.

As of v1.07, the .zip file now contains two extra patched to be applies OVER the initial patch. One contains various bugfixes from slickproductions.org, the other is an optional patch to make Galuf's hair consistently ginger. Further details are in the readme.

Changelog is now in the readme.

I recommend using the Automatic Dash patch from below:

BUGFIXES

The .zip file contains an optional patch containing various bugfixes sourced from slickproductions.org, as well as those
included in noisecross' FF5e text editor. This should be patched OVER the main patch.
They are as follows:

- Caught monster display
- Catch bug fix
- Kiss of Blessing bug fix
- Power Drink bug fix
- Observe bug fix
- Bartz's blue mage sprite fix
- Berserk chicken knife fix
- Two Galufs fix
- Faster common death animation
- Fractional M parameter knife fix (http://slickproductions.org/slickwiki/index.php/FF5_Patch:Fractional_M)
- Walk through walls fix
- Landing fix

See http://slickproductions.org/slickwiki/index.php/Final_Fantasy_V_Hacking#Patches for more information.

Also included is an optional patch that makes Galuf's hair consistently ginger. Again, this should be patched OVER the main
patch.
