So I was surfing the net searching for a FF II NES ROM, when I stumbled upon these. These appear to be greatly and correctly translated version of FF IV, V and VI in their SNES version. Probably fan-translated, but the translations of FF IV and V are more accurate than their US FF II or Playstation FF V counterparts. In the VI translation, I noticed how close it is to the "true" translation. (Esper = Phantom Beast in this ROM)
Final Fantasy IV (SNES) screens:

See how there's "Dark Wave" standing there? In a SNES version of FF IV? In English? Notice how Kain is called Cain, tough.
Final Fantasy V (SNES) screens:

See this "Yes" and "No"? In the translated rom many of us played, this isn't there. Yo usee some weird signs. In the Playsation version, this probably is there. But in this translated ROM, Faris speeks normally. So this is like the Playstation translation, only correctly and pleasant to read!

As you can see, a beautiful intro screen and a different translation?
I think the font used in this translation is different than the US FF III ROM I played. That, and the fact that one screen clearly says FF VI. Also, I noticed Espers are here clearly called "Phantom Beasts". So this means this is the actual correct translation.
So what do you think about these? These are SNES ROMs I found on the net, but the translation is much more accurate! I wish I found them sooner... Has anybody else found these ROMs? I know now with the GBA releases, these are pointless to download, if I were allowed to give the lin, in public, but I still think it's kind of neat. I actually recommend to give them a try, even if it were for a few minutes.
Has this been found before?
If you believe I editted these, I didn't, no way I could do that.
If you want real proove, I think I can PM you the link to the download page (?).
I'm right now having fun with an English FF IV hardtype and a good translation of FF V. Well, of to play some more!
Comments? Close if this is old news. I fear it will be, but oh, I could only try.
