Here’s the original piece of the Clean Edition project that’s meant to work with other major FFV romhacks. The description of changes is for all available versions. There are 2 versions at this time: RPGe Translation and GBA Script.

Changes made in an FFV English rom

  1. Assigns the “🔷” as the Blue Magic icon
    1. all 30 Blue Spells have 🔷 in front now, in Battle and Magic Menu
    2. removes it from all weapons… giving those weapons more fitting icons, too!
  2. Diamond Item Changes
    1. (🔷)Flail ➡️ (Staff)Flail
      1. like in FFVA
    2. (🔷)MornStar ➡️ (Staff)MornStar
      1. like in FFVA
    3. (🔷)TwinLance ➡️ (Knife)TwinBlade
      1. clearly a dirk/knife type weapon
      2. used by THF and NIN
    4. (🔷)Full Moon ➡️ (Boomerang)Full Moon
      1. icon from FF4
    5. (🔷)Risin(g)Sun ➡️ (Boomerang)Risin(g)Sun
      1. icon from FF4
    6. (🔷)Soot/Ash ➡️ (Shuriken)Soot/Ash
      1. it’s a single target throwable 🤷‍♂️
  3. Other Item Changes
    1. (Knife)Knife ➡️ (Knife)Dirk
      1. ( I can’t stand when the weapon category is the item name… Too redundant & uncreative)
    2. (Rod)Rod ➡️ (Rod)Brass
    3. (Staff)Staff ➡️ (Staff)Wood
    4. (Whip)Whip ➡️ (Whip)Hemp
    5. (Spear)Spear ➡️ (Spear)Lance
    6. (Claw)Kaiser ➡️ (Glove)Kaiser
      1. bc it was never a Claw weapon, it’s an armor piece
      2. (apparently Claws were planned for FFV bc this icon exists, but they didn’t become a weapon category)
  4. Other icon changes
    1. status icons look nicer
      1. Dark Glasses for Blind/Dark from FF6
        1. the moon / star thing isn’t seen elsewhere in the FF series and looks subpar imho
      2. Float, Poison and Stone imported from FF4 or FF6
        1. these all look half baked; improved versions are an upgrade
  5. Alphabet changes
    1. Removes the ugly (imho) grey drop shadow from the font in the menus
    2. RPGe Version: shifts the “la” letter tile to the right 1 pixel so it’s separated from the 2-tile “Bla”, freeing up “la” to get used more often & allowing some other icon to use the duplicate “B”
      1. uses this in “Freelancer” and other places
      2. spells these words differently now by using the original “B” tile + the new “la” tile
        1. BlackMage
        2. Black
        3. Black Goblin
        4. Blade
        5. Blad
        6. and some more I can't recall
