Remaining Work
A set of character and NPC interactions at minimum still need to be checked and debugged to make sure they still function properly following the script removals.
Examples include recruiting characters such as Lenna and Faris, engaging summons such as Shiva and Ifrit, and engaging bosses, the thirteen demons of the Rift, and the three superbosses (Omega, Shinryu, and Gogo).
However, with the changes noted in this post, the fan-translated script of the game should no longer be embedded in any patch of the Archipelago-oriented build of the mod.
