Hi, hopefully I'm not ruffling any feathers by posting this here, but I've released a hack that tries to fix up the remaining issues with FFT: Complete as well as restoring abilities/stats/etc. to what they were in the original JP release. I've made some other changes that go outside the scope of Complete's original goals, but it's nothing too extreme and most people looking to play the ps1 version with wotl's translation probably wouldn't mind them. Even if you do, I've included my ffttext/fftpatch/xml files so you can pick and choose and change whatever you want.
Updated 7/2025 - Inserted a better translation for the Enavia Chronicles sound novel (https://mmatyas.github.io/fft/enavia) that replaces the barely comprehensible machine translation that was being used. Added Shirahadori fix and starting date change ASM hacks. Removed the "Now loading" text that was added for the US release and fixed a year suddenly passing by after the Marach frog event. Gave the translation one last pass comparing to the PSP version and fixed and cleaned up some things, mainly in the other 3 Sound Novels.
I'm pretty new to installing hacks, so forgive me for asking. Do I need to install version .50 first or will this work if I install it on the raw game?
I just have a question about this mod, is the Dark night class available to learn for anyone? If so what are the requirements?
Picked up the steam deck and wanted to play FFT on it; made this account to say thanks for the best mod out there -- the newer translation is objectively superior, as is the base PSX game (sound effects, visuals, no cheesy cutscenes).
Not only that, but the few "convenience" tweaks you made go a long way.. it almost feels like this is the way the game was originally intended to be played. You notice in THE FIRST BATTLE.. enemies cast spells/have viable 2nd jobs and hell even Gafgarion cast some black magic on one turn.
(for those wondering, this just comes about organically due to reduced JP cost for abilities)
In short, thanks. Just what I was looking for and even better than expected.
I took the liberty of adding the WotL chapter title text to Prime, mostly due to chapter 4's text using the old translation (as seen below). You can update the OP if you like, or you can download the attachment to this post for those who would want this :)

These Chapter Titles have been added to the main download. Thanks!
Thanks for this! I was looking for WoTL translation in PSX without any gameplay changes and this is perfect for that. I patched it using Rom Patcher JS and it works great!
