Final Fantasy - Pixel Remaster: So you fix the ugly font

Final Fantasy - Pixel Remaster

Since the announcement of the Final Fantasy: Pixel Remaster a month ago, one aspect in particular has been a thorn in the side of many fans: the font. Many called the writing of the retro new editions an attack on the eyes and barely legible already on a way to solve the problem. We'll tell you how you can protect your eyes if you don't want to miss the nostalgia excursion.

How to get a grip on the font in Final Fantasy: Pixel Remaster

RPG Site kindly took the trouble to write a step-by-step guide that clearly explains how to get the font legible on the Steam version. A more eye-friendly font is indeed available in the game and even in English. The only catch: only in the Japanese version.

So that you can sit at your computer with a clear view in the morning even outside the land of the rising sun, we are sharing the instructions with you. Since the more readable font is already included in the game's files, nothing new needs to be added, just swapped back and forth a bit. So you don't have to worry about your game.

Step by step to the happiness of your eyes

First you open the local files of Final Fantasy (buy now): Pixel Remaster. Via "Final Fantasy_Data" you get to "StreamingAssets", where you can find the various fonts. Now cut out the two files "font_en.bundle" and "font_en.manifest" and paste them in a safe place on your computer so that you have saved the files as a backup.

Then you copy the two files "font_ja.bundle" and "font_ja.manifest", which you also save in a safe place as a backup. Now you have to rename the two files "font_ja.bundle" and "font_ja.manifest" in the "StreamingAssets" folder by replacing the "ja" with an "en".

Then add them somewhere else saved files "font_ja.bundle" and "font_ja.manifest" back into the "StreamingAssets" folder so that the game does not complain about missing files and refuses to load.

All you have to do is make sure that your in-game language is set to English. RPG Site points out that due to the non-adjusted font, the now more legible texts could occasionally go beyond the text boxes. But you didn't stumble across this problem yourself.

This is how the trick should also work for other languages ​​

Steam user Reiselied explains in a small guide on Steam how this trick can also be used other languages ​​should work. To do this, in addition to the English font files, you have to remove the ones in the corresponding language (for German this would be the files with "de") and then insert the Japanese font files one more time.

Now you have to do not replace "ja" with "en", but with the corresponding two letters of your language, for German with "de". It is important that you do the fix for the English font anyway, because the other languages ​​refer to some files of the English language. Good success!
