This patch makes changes to color values of NPCs in a Final Fantasy V rom. It also adds a single piece of furniture to the game.
Bartz’s mom Stella now looks more distinct, with purple hair instead of bright green.
It always bothered me that she looked so generic.
The Chancellor sprite in the Wind Shrine and Kuza Castle is now the Wind Sage, to remove confusion surrounding how the Chancellor of Tycoon could always be both at the Shrine and in Tycoon Castle. 😼
Use this Script Update patch to change his name, as well as…
The lady in Carwen who has essential info about the world now looks unique (and is named “Mayor”, if you use that patch above). This just makes better sense than a generic NPC with no name dropping plot advancement. She is different from all the other old lady NPCs now. She’s a government official and a speaker of important dialogue (and an expert in Mimicry).
This patch also adds a second bed to Casa Klauser, because Stella and Dorgan need their own. 📠
All of these changes are becoming standard in the Clean Editions of FFV, beginning with v1.96 so stay tuned.
Please feel free to use these NPC changes in your own FFV romhacks!! The available Script Update linked above will add the titles “Wind Sage” and “Mayor” to the game, and will also remove all typos from the RPGe translation AND replace “Cara” with the canonical “Krile”.
