FFTactext from FFTPatcher Suite .457 sort of works with WotL. Every other version doesn't work (as far as I know). I plan to keep this issue updated with information on the problem.
Workaround: Do not use an .fftpatch. Open the .fftpatch in another instance of FFTactext and manually copy the changes to the first instance.
Where to get FFTacText .457?
User manually copied over changes from another instance. Using a .fftpatch file sometimes caused "OPEN.LZW" error.
What eventually let me patch WotL with FFTacText
User opened a clean ISO in .457, an .fftpatch in .482, and copied the changes manually. Did NOT remove Japanese. Had errors in .482 before this:
"DTE for BOOT.BIN 5 failed."
"DTE for BOOT.BIN 7 failed."
"DTE for BOOT.BIN[some hex] failed."
I noticed that the text files have multiple versions of some "sections" (such as Job Names), and they are NOT identical. There are three "Job Names" lists with three different lengths. There are three "Unit Names" lists with the same length, but two of them are identical and the middle one has Japanese characters. The confusion over which one to edit might be causing problems. Removing the duplicates might save space, which fixes other problems.
It appears that the Crystallization/Treasure text is too long. I should try putting a newline after the unit name. I wonder why it doesn't break in vanilla WotL.
Latest version should be the best version to patch either version (PSX or PSP) since commits 695d936 and 060d703, and later releases have additional fixes.

Threads:
I'm new to FFTactext please help No info.
Is there a way to fix text bugs for spell/skill quotes? Blank boxes seem to cause a crash.
DTE for BOOT.BIN 5 Failed - always. (PSP) Replies suggest deleting Japanese text for space, using a clean ISO, and changing the Crystallization text.
Why is it so hard to edit text on the psp version ?

Ugh, too many threads about this.
