I’m patching and hacking together bugfixes and improvements to enhance Final Fantasy V on the Super Nintendo, and create a launchpad for romhacks based on this game. These changes are meant to improve and not distract from the vanilla FFV experience, however I’ve rearranged some things that might be noticed by veteran players.

This spilled over into a twin project, with most of the interface changes and bugfixes I’ve worked into FFV getting woven into a Clean version of FF5R.
