Description

To accommodate for the undersized, relatively dark monitor of the Game Boy Advance, a variety of colors in Final Fantasy VI Advance exhibit a higher degree of saturation than that of the earlier versions. Consequently, the graphics generally appear brighter, and certain colors diverge significantly from their original specifications. As such, the purpose of this patch, which supports all three versions, is to restore the colors to their former state.

Changes

• The initial fade-in for particular sequences such as the title screen.
• The snowfield and snowflakes from the opening credits.
• Blue and yellow text displayed in menus outside of combat.
• Various shades of grey for text displayed in menus outside of combat.

  which originates from the PlayStation installments.
• Status icons.

• Character sprites as displayed in menus.
• Maps and sprites for locations that do not utilize Mode 7.
• Map timer, whose sprites inherited a custom palette.
