About this project

This patch fixes a US version-created bug. The bug being that “MP” doesn’t show up when you press up in the magic menu to get to your equipped Esper. So you’d see the MP cost, but not “MP” to note that it’s actually MP you’re going to spend.

Description:

Ever notice something missing when you go to summon an Esper?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What this patch does:

Now when summoning an Esper, you'll see "MP" before the MP cost. You now know
*what* the cost is. *suspense* The fix was simple (then again so was the bug).
The game has a strange format it uses to draw menus in battle, and when the US
team was porting it to the US, they forgot about the "MP" in the Esper menu
when they were tweaking the font. 03 2C and 03 2F were changed to 03 8C 03 8F.
