Adds NVDA output, pathfinding, sound queues and other accessibility aides to Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster.
There is about a 1 second delay (may be longer on lower spec pc) between the "Press any button" text and when the user games input. This is because the text is announced when the title screen finishes loading but there is another second or so of logo animation before the user is given control.
Shop menus are reading the first highlighted item on both entry and exit.
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 up gains are not fully implemented, only Hp is announced.
