Final Fantasy IV¶

super famicom · french · in development

This started as a French translation and turned into rewriting how the game draws text, because French doesn't fit in the Japanese boxes.

French dialogue with a variable-width font

What I'm working on¶

Variable-width dialogue and menu fonts, with French accents and kerning.
Longer item and spell names, with rolling inventory lists.
Battle windows, descriptions, cursors, and transitions between screens.
Emulator regression tests to catch rendering mistakes.

The reworked battle inventory

Current state¶

Rendering, menus, and translation are all still moving. No release yet.
