Final Fantasy III: Final Fantasy VI Relocalization Project

The Final Fantasy VI Relocalization Project is an attempt to "relocalize" the Super Nintendo game Final Fantasy VI in a way that the original localization team might have done, if they had more time, ROM space, and freedom from censorship to do better.

This hack features a completely new script based heavily on the GBA translation, completely uncensored graphics, a fancy new font, dozens of bugfixes, full descriptions for all items and spells, and a variety of other small fixes and tweaks to make this the best possible version of Final Fantasy VI without altering the actual gameplay in an appreciable way.

Archive contains patches for both headered and unheadered ROMs.

Title: Final Fantasy VI Relocalization Project

Version: 1.05

_______________________________________________________________________________


Apply this patch to a SNES Final Fantasy III 1.0 ROM with the following
attributes:

Either UNHEADERED or HEADERED
CRC32 Checksum: A27F1C7A
MD5 Checksum: E986575B98300F721CE27C180264D890

The patch is in .ips format, so you need a program like Lunar IPS to do the
patching for you.

If you still aren't sure if your ROM has a header or not, NSRT can detect that
for you.

If you are updating from a previous version of the patch, you must apply the
new patch to an unmodified FF3 US 1.0 ROM. Your save will still work.

If your ROM does not have a header (filesize is 3072 KB),
apply FF6RLPv1.05-noheader.ips.

If your ROM has a header (filesize is 3073 KB),
apply FF6RLPv1.05-header.ips.

About the project:

The Final Fantasy VI Relocalization Project is an attempt to "relocalize" the
Super Nintendo game Final Fantasy VI in a way that the original localization
team might have done, if they had more time and ROM space to do so.

This patch changes many, many things in the game - most notably the game's
dialog scripts, as well as monster, item, and spell names, in order to be a
(hopefully) more accurately translated experience with more nuance.

Changelog:

v1.05
-Fixed a bug that could garble map graphics in the second half of the game.
-Fixed a couple typos and grammatical errors folks pointed out recently.
-Reverted all changes to espers with the exception of Ramuh's 5x Thundara rate.
That was a gameplay change that, in all honestly, I had forgotten was even
implemented and which I had failed to document. It is also just outside the
scope of the hack.

-Fixed a showstopping bug I accidentally left in 1.041 when attempting to fix
some other showstopping bugs from 1.04. D'oh.

v1.04
-Fixed some instances where abilties displayed the wrong name when used in
battle.
-A ton of typo and grammar fixes!

v1.03
-Uncensored the final battle backgrounds! The game's graphics should be 100%
censorship-free now!
-Celes has a pretty ribbon tent like Terra now.

v1.02
-Added Novalia Spirit's Magic Menu sort fix patch, so the battle magic menu
sorts better with gaps between spells.
