Final Fantasy V Advance: Final Fantasy V Advance Font Facelift is a fan-made patch for the Game Boy Advance version of Final Fantasy V. The patch offers two options: SLIM, which refines the original font for improved aesthetics without changing letter width, and THICK, which increases readability for English speakers at the cost of text spillover in other languages. Both patches enhance inventory icons and correct character name errors.
The menu font of Final Fantasy V Advance (PAL) has uneven letters sourced from different variants of this typeface. Further, players have found the small font difficult to read when played on real hardware. Therefore, this package of two patches was created.
- SLIM beautifies the original thin font while keeping the original letter width, resulting in better-looking text while ensuring from none of the languages spill from window constraints.
- THICK is aimed at English-speakers only. Certain letters are widened as in the NTSC-U release, perfectly enhancing readability for the English text while causing spillovers in every other language.
- Both patches update certain inventory icons to match with other games in the series.
- Both patches also correct character name errors in the Music Player for each language.
