Essential improvements

Improve the readability of the in-game text

The stock fonts used by the game are narrow and difficult to read.
The Japanese font, however, has characters that are easier to read and resembles the font used in the PlayStation Portable remake of the Final Fantasy I & II, as well as Final Fantasy XIII.
As of January 30, 2024, the game has been updated to have the option of switching to the pixel font used in the console versions.
Instructions[1][2]
  1. Browse to the local files of your Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster installation.
  2. Navigate to <path-to-game>\Final Fantasy_Data\Streaming Assets to find the font files.
  3. Delete font_en.bundle and font_en.manifest.
  4. Rename the ja part in the font_ja.bundle and font_ja.manifest files with en.
  5. For non-English languages, repeat Step 4 for the other localizations (e.g. es: Spanish, fr: French, de: German).

Fix scrolling stutter

While walking around the world, there is some stutter as the screen scrolls.
This is because the default movement speed in the pixel remasters is 80px/s, which doesn't align with the framerate of the game.
This may also be resolvable using UnCapFF5PRemaster to set a target framerate to a multiple of 80 to better match, rather than modifying movement speed.

ffpr-tool allows you to adjust the movement speed, either down to 60px/s to match the framerate and the SNES original's speed, or up to 120px/s which is a clean double of the target framerate.

Instructions
  1. Browse to the local files of your Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster installation.
  2. Copy the ffpr-tool-ff5-ff6.exe into the directory.
  3. Run the application, and use the arrow keys to select your targeted speed.
