As a bonus, the world maps have been cleaned up (couldn't find the author of the redrawn map; credits goes for him) to match the original. Transparency has been toned down for better experience.

For those who can't wait you can download them here:

Make sure to rename the files as written above. Path is */world

PS: If someone knows where the "you are here" red star texture is, please tell me so I can make it look better.

Thanks obesebear! By any chance do you have any idea on the possibility of replacing the "you are here" pointers?

Chocobo race textures slowly but surely are in the work.

Back in 2015 I made in a rush the chocobo avatars and it was most probably my first collaboration for Satsuki's all-in-one pack and has been used since then. This time I decided to take it to the next level by vectorizing them. The ones used in-game are not the same as Nomura's artwork but I'll keep them as is however contrast and vibrance will be largely boosted.

map.tex or map_00.png in the world folder


fyi you can use reunion to do a full graphic trace of every file and palette the game loads (or attempts to load)

Nice catch -Ori, this particular file wasn't included in Satsuki's pack that's why it was nowhere to be seen for me.

All 3 pointers are now redrawn and pixel perfect positioned to match the yellow triangle. Download and rename: map_00.

Are these included in the IRO that's in the OP?
 
So great! Aavock looking forward to new updates.

Thanks Kuraudo. I'm currently cleaning up the font files and redrawing all shadows.

I think Satsuki will be in charge for an *.iro pack.
 
i'll update this when i'll update the menu too ^^, don't have much time those days
 
Quick sneak peek of the upcoming reviewed font textures:

It's going to be neat!

About the world map would it be possible to add Gongaga?

You mean by adding a red spot on the map? There's no dot for Gongaga in the original game; not sure how the devs decided which places meant to be marked or not. Main story related places doesn't fit for a hypothetical answer because of Wutai.

This may be a good idea but how to choose which places must be shown? I think that Ancient Forest must be kept somehow "secret" and Goblin Island is unnecessary for instance.

Comparing the blue dots (main places) there's only Gongaga, Forgotten Capital, Northern Cave Crater (I think the map is self explanatory for this one) and Key to Ancients missing; Should I add them? I need some votes.

To my mind, remind a close as possible to psx version.
Seems logic that some place are hidden
 
I agree with Satsuki, keep everything as OG.

But maybe could be interesting an optional version that has some other places into it? For whoever want to use the alternative

EDIT: Obviously, that's not a priority

I think you should definitely add a dot for Gongaga. It was always weird that the OG game didn't have one; the lack of a dot for the town didn't feel consistent with the rest of the map.

Also, I would love to have an option to use a better-looking map for the bigger size option in the game. The existing one lacks detail and is rather crude.

Like, I would love to have this one in the game:

But made brighter and more colorful to look like this one:

Or I guess you could simply use this second one. The first one is much higher in resolution, though the second one shows a bit more map on the edges, for some reason.

I see some debate over Gongaga so I may add an alternative download link for it.

The goal here is to remain as faithful as possible to the original game.

This is official from the 4th disc just for your reference.

It is indeed 100% official but following that logic adding a dot for round island for instance makes no sense. I'll stick to the idea of providing an extra download link that includes Gongaga's location.
 
Oh yes. I agree only on Gongaga as alternative link. Thanks Aavock!

What I meant with the last post (last link) it was to provide a better "HD" map but official.
