Essential improvements
Improve the readability of the in-game text
The default 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.
| Replace default fonts[1][2] |

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 be resolved using UnCapFF6PRemaster to set a target framerate to a multiple of 80 to better match, rather than modifying movement speed. ffpr-tool may also be used to resolve this by using it 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.
