Adds NVDA output, pathfinding, sound queues and other accessibility aides to Final Fantasy V Pixel Remaster.
Pathfinding does not work correctly when sailing the pirate ship. If you get stuck early in the game between Tule and the wind shrine, use waypoint 1 (a docking point near the wind shrine) and waypoint 2 (A landmark after which tule becomes findable on the destination finder to get there.) This is the fix for now, waypoints.json can be updated as needed for other sticking points in progression. Status reader is not reading commands list of the selected character. Victory screen after battle may speak when a character has learned an ability from job level up, but not which ability was learned. I in job menu does not yet speak which weapons a job can equip. Waypoints are generically numbered (waypoint 1, waypoint2 etc.) Needs sa custom naming system to be more useful. Waypoints placed from the pirate ship can only pathfind when on the pirate ship. Teleporting necessary in many dungeons due to moving platforms, traps, patrolling guards. As of yet unresolved due to mod limitations. Will likely need at least a basic guide to complete the game, especially when travelling the world map between towns.
