Today, Square Enix updated the Steam release of the Pixel Remaster series titles Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy II, and Final Fantasy III with various fixes. This includes nixing a pernicious issue where the configuration settings did not save when rebooting the game, and the game would screen tear at various resolutions. While only the Windowed Mode has been fixed, it looks like additional fixes may be in the works for other modes.
Unfortunately there’s no fix for the extremely narrow fonts mentioned, but luckily, they’re quite simple to mod, even without using replacement files outside the game.
You can peruse Square Enix’s patch notes, which we’ve transposed below:
