Adds NVDA output, pathfinding, sound queues and other accessibility aides to Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster.
Wall tones play brief false positives when opening doors or when transitioning between maps.
NPCs in shops are blocked by counters, but interacting with the counter opens the shop. Usually this is straight north from the door.
Shop menus are reading the first highlighted item on both entry and exit.
Items that can not be purchased due to a lack of gil are not reading, either upon highlight or the description by pressing I.
Secret passages, even when opened, do not show properly on the pathfinder. Can use wall bumps and estimation to find, usually near the opening mechanism.
H in battle announces statistics for all characters, not active character.
Level ups read HP gained, but not other statistics.
F1 key (walk/run toggle) only works in dungeons and towns. World map defaults to walking speed only - use vehicles (ship, canoe, airship) for faster world map travel.

ZKline for making the original ff6 mod, without which I likely never would have tried modding these games. Stirlock and UnexplainedEntity for help testing the builds before public release. Stirlock for obtaining Japanese entity names so they could be translated.
