This is a patch for the USA and EUR versions of the PSP game Final Fantasy Tactics - The War of the Lions. It allows you to remove the battle animation slowdown and/or unstretch the screen to the original 4:3 aspect ratio.

It is based on the patches provided by the LivePatch plugin, created by endrift, who undertook the challenging task of reverse engineering the game and figuring out how to fix both issues.

This conversion was relatively straightforward thanks to thorough documentation.
