Final Fantasy VI: Revised Old Style Edition is a thorough and nostalgic revision of the text and presentation of Final Fantasy VI for SNES. The purpose of the hack is to refine FF6's surface-level elements according to the standard set by the PS1-era FF titles (e.g. FF Origins), while preserving the scope and difficulty of the original game as Square designed it. This is a classic improvement-type hack intended for newcomers and veterans alike. The dialog script has been revised based on multiple translation efforts, both official (SNES/Woolsey, GBA/Slattery) and unofficial (kWhazit, Tomato, Lina Darkstar, et al.). It aims to combine the completeness and accuracy of the GBA with the energy and pacing of the SNES, sans censorship. Much of the official English text is retained in the updated script, particularly where the SNES and GBA agree closely with one another. Where unofficial sources are used, the wording is adapted as necessary to maintain cohesion with the overall script. FF6:ROSE introduces two major advancements in its localization:
FF6:ROSE is built on a modified version of C. V. Reynolds' Multi-Bugfix compilation patch. It also includes decensored graphics and multiple quality-of-life enhancements. Several of the new features have either been developed from scratch or updated by the author specifically for this hack, including:
A considerable amount of original technical work and attention to detail have gone into making this a uniquely polished and uncompromising FF6 experience. At the same time, the project builds on the work of many, many FF6 fans and hackers. See the Readme for a detailed list of features and full credits. More information:
