I believe I can confidently post this up there. This project is functionally done, but updates may still happen.
This little patch fixes and updates Ability, Equipment, Job/Monster, Treasure, and Unexplored Land names in PS1 FFT. The goal for this is that the original translation's vibe and original intents are preserved, while making something more recognizable with common FF naming conventions and fixing translation errors. This means a lot of abilities aren't using the War of the Lions terminology, though some were updated as such. Some terms have not been changed or have been lifted from other FF games where applicable, mostly the GBA and PS1 eras of FF (for a minor example of what I mean, instead of Hasteja it's Hastega), and I've even delved into literal translations of ability names.
As of now there are three patches, Altered exists mostly for the sake of Swordskill (Stasis Sword etc.) names. There may be more differences to come as we move along. No Suffixes uses spell names with the original 2/3/4 instead of -ra/-ga/-ja. .ffttext files are also provided with all patches for those who might find them useful.
RHDN Link, has the preferred ISO information, quick Readme, etc.

huge amount this time. Big thanks to Raijinili and Timbo.

Provided no bugs happen, this is it except for updates to the .ffttext files with new tool releases. I can't think of much else I can do that doesn't require a full retranslation. Maybe Bags or updating Truth/Un-Truth if something better comes along.
