**NOTE: THIS PATCH IS FOR A HEADERLESS ROM.**

Made using Windhex and LunarIPS

This is a retouching of the J2e script for Final Fantasy 4.
I liked the Cosmetic Changes hack, but there were still lots
of things that irked me about the text. Also, I wanted to get
my feet wet using a hex editor, because I'm thinking about
porting in the DS script, if I can get the help I need to do
it.

Installation
------------
I reccommend using SnesTool to apply the patch.
Place the .exe file in the same folder as the
.smc file (FF3 US v1.0) and the .ips file;
the three of them, together in one folder.
Now double-click the .exe file.

First, hit 'A' to Apply header. Move the cursor to the file you want to
check. If it asks whether you'd like to remove the header, congrats, you
have a headered rom. Say "Yes."

Now press U to Use ips. Use the arrow keys to select the .ips patch, then
the .smc file. When you get the message "Ips patched ok," you're done. Now
run it in the emulator of your choice.

**NOTE: THIS PATCH IS FOR A HEADERLESS ROM.**

List of changes from Joel Smith's "FF4 Cosmetic Changes":

1. The soldier on the left in the main hall of Baron castle breaks verb
tense. This was changed.
2. The soldier on the left at the table in the barracks says "at Mysidia,"
which was changed to "in Mysidia."
3. Rosa's line "You're not like that" was changed to the DS's "You're a good
man, Cecil.."
4. Rosa's line "The real Cecil I know..." was changed to the DS's "Cecil of
the Red Wings is many things..."
5. Cecil's DS line "I know what I've become..." was added.
6. In Mist Village, Cecil's line "WHY? King Baron! No!" was truncated to
match the DS version
7. A Scholar in Kaipo refers to "A strange old guy by the Waterway..." This
was changed to "A strange old guy in the Waterway"
8. The line about Edward's spoony-ness was put back in.
9. Cecil's beratement of Edward was toned down.
10. The woman at the bar in Fabul had a line where the clauses were
inverted.
11. Kain's line "I intend to" at Fabul was changed to "Indeed."
12. Numerous instances of double exclamation points were removed.
13. The Fabul bartender says "helluva attack," which was changed to
"helluvan attack"
14. During the interlude with Kain and Golbez at the start of Mt.
Ordeals, Kain says "Take light of," which was changed to "Take Cecil too
lightly"
15. Numerous instances of this "!?" were changed to this "?!"

17. In the village of Mist, one of the villagers says "Phantom Beast" and
"Beast" wasn't capitalized. Now it is.
18. After fighting Barbariccia, Cecil says "But it was left at the Tower of

system." This was changed to "between the fourth and fifth planets of our star system."
22. One of the Moon Crystals talks about the Tower of Babil being destroyed,

now does.
