One of the benefits of playing the Pixel Remaster versions of the first six Final Fantasy games is that it allows players to see the evolution of the series, specifically the introduction of items, spells, abilities, and various other names that would go on to become series mainstays. However, due to inconsistent translation over the years, it's not always clear that these things carried over between games are in fact the same thing (or occasionally it looks like things are carried over that, in fact, are different items that merely got translated the same way). This mod is an attempt to regularize the terminology used in the Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster to make this evolution more clear to players, with preference for terminology used in official translations that makes that evolution as clear as possible while keeping ambiguity to a minimum.

This currently extends to all six Pixel Remaster games:

• Consistent Terminology: FFI
• Consistent Terminology: FFII
• Consistent Terminology: FFIII (this mod)
• Consistent Terminology: FFIV
• Consistent Terminology: FFV
• Consistent Terminology: FFVI
  

It's a work still under construction, as I have no doubt that there are things I've missed that I'll discover later.

Note that this mod is NOT:

• A retranslation of FF's terminology from scratch. I've stuck to official translations wherever possible; often I've chosen the most commonly used translation, sometimes - if there are multiple translations - I've chosen the one that reduces ambiguity the most, and very occasionally, the only official translation(s) creates enough confusion that I've gone back to the original Japanese. For the most part, however, this is not a retranslation for accuracy; I will choose to use a looser translation that the series has consistently stuck with for many games over a more accurate translation that loses that sense of continuity.
• A gameplay mod that removes items/etc. added in the Pixel Remaster/3D remake. This is merely regularizing the Pixel Remaster terminology. However, for a full view of the series' evolution, you may want to find a mod that removes these later additions to keep your experience of the games as close to the original experience as possible. (I'm not aware of any such mod at the moment, but hopefully one will arise at some point as FFIII PR hacking becomes more advanced!) As an example of one of these additions, while Hi-Potions have been added to the various remakes of the first Final Fantasy starting with the GBA Dawn of Souls, and are included in the Pixel Remaster of the first game, this item didn't originally appear on the NES until FFII. The first three Pixel Remasters, in particular, have had a lot of changes from the later remakes kept in for quality-of-life reasons.
  

Also keep in mind that this mod only changes the English-language text, as I'm unfamiliar with the translation conventions for other languages.
