Prepatched with either Final Fantasy Restored or Grond's Final Fantasy.

Hack description

There are many hacks for the first NES Final Fantasy. Some consider two of them to be the definitive versions of the game. The first is AstralEsper's Final Fantasy Restored. The next is Grond's Final Fantasy. The font used, however, is difficult to look at to many. To give people the choice as to which font they'd prefer, this font package was made.

With this, for whichever one is your NES version of Final Fantasy, you have the choice of the original NES font used, the Final Fantasy IV font (USFFII), or the font for Final Fantasy VI (USFFIII). You can also use these fonts on
vanilla Final Fantasy (for your own use or for you're own project). Also if you found the shadow on Restored and Grond's hacks difficult to see on a CRT, a No Shadow patch is included as well.

Great as a standalone and as a patch for other hacksSigourn2019-10-25Version 2.0

These fonts are the cherry on top for Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy Restored (Grond's Final Fantasy is also supported, but I haven't played with it). The Final Fantasy IV in particular is very pleasing to the eyes and is my font of choice; it is also the default font included in Chaos Rush's 2019 retranslation of Final Fantasy.

Definitely recommended if you particularly dislike Final Fantasy Restored's font (I know I do).
