About this mod
What if Tom Slattery faithfully translated the Japanese SNES script into English? An overhaul of the game script using a modified version of the DS script, edited to resemble a DS-style translation of the SNES script, which differs from the DS script in many ways. Additionally, items and spells use DS terminology and updated descriptions.

FINAL FANTASY IV - AN OLD TRANSLATION ANEW
What if Tom Slattery faithfully translated the Japanese SNES script into English?
What is this mod?
It is an edit of the game script to change the text from the middling GBA script to the (IMO) superior and (certainly) more accurate script by Tom Slattery for the DS remake of FF4.
Mostly. The DS script different from the original script in many ways, adding and moving around lines, and adding scenes which didn't exist originally, and the script was edited to remove lines that were translations of lines that didn't exist in the pre-DS script. This was done to give a version of the script that reads more like it was translated from the original SNES lines, rather than the DS lines.
-Spell and item descriptions were also edited to resemble the original Japanese more, which had the effect of correcting a couple of errors, too. (Bio's, for example, doesn't damage BY sapping HP, it does damage AND inflicts Sap)
-Location, spell and item names were changed to use the terminology used in the DS version.
-Some system text was changed to use terminology used in the DS version.
This mod requires a modded UnityPlayer.dll file, which is included in this mod.
I also included the modded font so the better looking wider font is used.
