----
Hello, these hacks offer interface & gameplay adjustments in both FFV & FF5R (English) to make for a Cleaner experience.

Apply any of the "FFV Clean" patches to an *unheadered* copy of FFVJ.sfc-- the checksum & CRC data are these:

File/ROM SHA-1: E937B54FFF99838E2E853697E4F559359AA91FD6

File/ROM CRC32: C1BC267D

(Use https://www.romhacking.net/hash/ to check these values, and use the Tush utility available here on rhdn to remove a header if needed.)

Clean Edition works with FF5R, yet it's designed at this time around Serity's English version of FF5R-– gomen nasai. Find that patch at the link below, apply it to your FF5r (original Japanese) rom first, THEN apply my included "FF5R Clean Edition" patch. (Yes, FF5R Clean requires 3 patches at this time.)

* https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/7972/

NEW BONUS PATCH

Check out the amazing new "FFV Whirlwind" by clymax and then apply this over a copy to create a Clean Edition of Whirlwind! Characters' Jobs change at each level up! It's a new tactical spin on FFV, highly recommended!

* https://www.romhacking.net/translations/7324/

(Note that it uses a different base rom. Check it out!)
----

Control, Menu, Etc Improvements:

+ use Menu button to pass turn in battle

+ Dash in towns and dungeons with all jobs (Thief/Dash is faster)

+ L & R buttons page scroll Item and Magic Menus

+ Blue Magic has its own icon (Diamond)

+ Black Magic icon is darker; Float and Blind icons improved

+ Espers have Black/White/Time icons by effect type

+ Many Ability, item and enemy names now match their appearance elsewhere in the FF series

+ All Jobs and Abilities have descriptions

+ The 12 items that work with !Mix command are more obvious

+ Equipment Weight works the same as in Pixel Remaster edition (it's 2x more impactful in reducing Agility now)

+ FFV: MSU-1 chip support added for enhanced soundtracks (not included, DYOR)

----
1. Clean Battle Improvements:

+ Berserk doesn't merely Attack: can work with Jump, Mug, SwdSlap(FFV)/Pierce(FF5R), Dance, Aim, X-Attack(!)

+ Check works as described, showing elemental weakness

+ SwdSlap hits like a normal Attack and may stun the target; it doesn't remove Sleep, Confuse, or Control

+ Images can stack up to 3 (still 2 per cast or Ability)


2. Deep Clean Battle Improvements, the above plus...

+ Harps, Bells, Rods, Whips, Knives, Spears all do more damage

+ Axes, Katana, Hammers, even some Knives work with MagicSword

+ Spears and some other new options work with 2-Handed; 2-Handed combos with Jump for additional damage

3. Deeper Clean Battle Improvements, the above plus...

+ Learning changed to Observe (simply seeing Blue Magic in battle is enough to learn it! Character must be free of status effects and not Jumping)

+ Counter works while Berserked

+ Equipment Weight unchanged from FFV (barely any effect on Agility)
----
Bugfixes:
Kiss of Blessings, PowerDrink, HP Drain limit and many other glitches were properly addressed by open source patches. Please read the changelog to see them all, and for all other details.

Deep & Deeper Clean are intended to provide less restrictive versions of the game, and will continue development as forks of the main Clean project. They will become available for FF5r as soon as integration of Modoh's "Weapon Formula Tweaks" & IrohDW's "Easy Learning" into FF5r's custom code is accomplished and tested.

CHANGELOG NOTES
FFV v1.95
+ Incredible map sprites that show the Jobs (all work by Cubear)
+ New Krile battle sprites
= Fixed some typos (thanks RoSoDude, thanks BladePotato!)
+ Small script tweaks in Tule
= Config Menu debugged of color highlight glitch

FF5R v1.9
+ Incredible map sprites that show the Jobs (all work by Cubear)
+ New Krile battle sprites
= Fixed Rare Items names
= Fixed some dungeon and map names, removed last Hiryuu refs from game
+ New NPCs in MetaphysiCollege in Tule
+ Small script tweaks in Tule
= Config Menu debugged of color highlight glitch



Prior versions
--------------
FFV v1.91
Renamed "SoftHit" back to SwdSlap, bc the move actually works like SwdSlap (I missed this in last version update)

"All" restored for 2nd option in Config, Reequip menu

Fixed 2 typos in menus where the ":" was floating over the word "Equip" so it looked like "Eq:ip"-- it looks like "Equip:" now.



FFV v1.9
SwdSlap works (thanks to forensic work by RoSoDude, who figured out which parts of Inu's patches weren't cooperating w existing Clean Edition patches, and created workarounds)! Enjoy Samurai as the developers (presumably) intended! And don't forget that it jives with Berserk!

Bugfixed dialog/speech-- the "ie" went missing last update when I mistakenly changed the font~plaintext crosswalk file.

Passive Abilities list their stat boosts in their descriptions now. Many Equip Abilities may surprise you.

Added 3 custom recolors to Faris's Jobs (MNK is darker, WHM is hoodless, DRG is dark green not candy red), plus a vanilla restore patch.


FFV v1.88

SwdSlap removed because downstream issues existed, most notably the opening fights against the 1 HP Golbins became unwinnable... those enemies mysteriously set Stun every time they hit, which is an unintended side-effect glitch of the sequence of patches used.
Until this is properly debugged, SwdSlap will remain "SoftHit", meaning it's a normal strength attack that doesn't interrupt Control, Sleep, nor Confuse-- but does not have a chance to set Paralyze status.

Icon improvements to Ribbon, Bag, and most status effect icons.

Removed the ABC/abc options in character naming screen.


FFV v1.87
----
!SwdSlap fixed via complex (to me at least ;_;) patching sequence using Inu's work, thanks to assistance from RoSoDude.
A few small script improvements, as usual.

FF5R v1.84
----
Entire "Clean Script" (my custom revisions) added to replace the classic RPGe dialogs, thanks to generous help from noisecross and Serity! Two custom NPC graphics (in Wind Shrine and in Carwen) added to jive with Clean Script-- done with everything8215's fantastic webapp, ofc.

New "R" Title Screen drawn by me, after a custom art design made available by KainStryder; added to the game via the amazing "FF5e TextEditor" from noisecross. (Try it yourself, it's multi-featured and will let you entirely re-translate the game & rename many things if you enjoy working with plaintext files and have the patience!)

https://github.com/noisecross/FF5e_Text_Editor

Join us on FF5Den discord for guidance on using this Editor, or just to say hello.
https://discord.gg/jUv9cvP3vU


FFV Versions 1.86 & 1.87
Typos addessed and script improvements continue!
FFV had some typos fixed like in the opening movie, where a line ran off the screen. >_<

The Healing Staff scene and the 'Hiryuu' healing scene atop North Mountain were both improved.
Two custom NPC graphic changes in FFV, in the Wind Shrine (Wind Sage) and in Carwen (Mayor); done w ff6tools.
( https://everything8215.github.io/ff6tools/ff6tools.html )


ICON Revision, Version 1.85:
Both FFV and FF5r received this
Icon upgrade to all 12 items that work with !Mix...

Healing items that work with !Mix now have the "potion" icon!
[Potion]Potion
[Potion]Hi-Potion
[Potion]PhnxDown
[Potion]Ether
[Potion]Elixir
[Potion]Antidote
[Potion]Eyedrop
[Potion]MaidKiss
[Potion]HolyWater

These 3 Mix items got their own new icon (a bag)
[Bag]TurtlShell
[Bag]DrgnFang
[Bag]DarkMatter

(The twice-used [Key] that occurs in the Rare Items list was repurposed for this [Bag]. The Castle Key and Torna Canal Key now just have the word "Key" and no icon.)

These 5 Drink items have lost their Potion icon, and gained the word "Drink". It makes more sense to highlight Mix-ables and the 5 Drinks are easier to remember, by far.

PowerDrink
ProtectDrink
SpeedDrink
HeroDrink
GiantDrink

And yes, GoldNeedle and LuckMallet don't work with !Mix so they have no icons.
Hope this change helps you to enjoy !Mix as much as it helps me!


SCRIPT Version 1.84 updates:
* Full Dialog/Script revision complete in FFV Clean Editions!! Dozens of typos and ugly dialog boxes fixed!
Used noisecross's amazing FF5 Text Editor, available here:

https://www.ff6hacking.com/ff5wiki/index.php/Main_Page

+ Eqp.Wgt stat now reduces Agility by 1 point for every 4 points of Eqp.Wgt; this doesn't happen in Deeper Clean, it was left like FFV Vanilla (which is 1 point of Agi for every 8 points of Eqp.Wgt).
Special thanks to RoSoDude for sharing his unpublished patch that makes this change to add strategic depth to the armor choice!

+ Fixed Headers thanks to a utility provided by Kandowontu, a true mensch and ally to all romhackers.

+ Small edits to Ability/Job descriptions: !Focus, Blue Mage both more accurate now.

+ Changed NPC sprite (& name) in the Wind Shrine (Chancellor can't be there & also at Tycoon Castle)! To edit the rom like this, I used the astonishing editor at:

https://everything8215.github.io/ff6tools/ff6tools.html

and you can, too ^_^ Open your rom as the FF5 RPGe option, and **Save backup copies of your work, fam!**

(If you are using the Cleaner Font patch in your project, please note that Scroll & Diamond icons have shifted to new locations. All the new double letter tiles will show up in Battle messages, so feel free to use them in Ability, Spell and etc names!)
