1. FF5r (Remix) by ff5aki: “Autumn Challenge”
Recoined as FFV: Autumn Challenge via editorial discretion for purposes of the writer’s posts on this blog. Aki is taken to mean autumn in this context.
The game difficulty is significantly increased from vanilla.
Official name stays the same and will still be referenced.
For Serity’s fan translation of this mod on RHDN, see here.
2. FF5r-IC by waterga: “Heroine Trilogy”
IC has no particular meaning.
Recoined as FFV: Heroine Trilogy via editorial discretion for purposes of the writer’s posts on this blog.
As the name suggests, this mod features a heroine instead of Bartz, and the mod itself spans three roms.
Heroine Trilogy uses Autumn Challenge as a base. However, players need not concern themselves with this detail, especially with the advent of our web patcher.
The game difficulty for the most part is on par with vanilla.
Our translation team should ideally reach a unanimous decision before an official renaming can happen.
For now, the official name stays the same and will still be referenced.
For more info on our translation project, see here.
3. FFV Clean and FF5r Clean by xJacks: “Clean Edition” (TBC)
Exclusive font, script, and icon improvements along with a curated compilation of QoL and bugfixes.
The mod author is currently considering a rebranding.
My personal suggestion is to keep the current branding using the recoined names, i.e., FFV: Clean Edition and Autumn Challenge: Clean Edition.
The reasoning is that the same approach is taken in both versions in terms of what’s being changed.
To call them something different would seem to be more confusing. You may even find yourself explaining to someone, “Oh, ‘Sparkles’ is just ‘Clean’ but for Autumn Challenge” (made-up example).
This post will be updated when more details from the mod author become available.
For more info on the mod, see here.
4. FFV: Ancient Cave by Anonymous
This mod title is pretty self-explanatory, so it won’t need to be localized.
For Sky Render’s fan translation of this mod on RHDN, click here.
5. FFV: Nostalgia by Anonymous
The naming of this mod can be revisited if and when a fan translation of this mod becomes available.
6. FFV Patch Set (Bugfixes) and Various Patch Files (QoL) by Inu: “Boco’s FFV”
clymax’s upcoming compilation mod of Inu’s work will be dubbed Boco’s FFV. More details to be released in the near future.
