This is the font used by the original Japanese Famicom release of the first Final Fantasy game and its MSX2 computer port. It includes capital Latin letters but no lowercase; it also includes hiragana and katakana character sets.
A Latin font based on the menu font used in the EU releases of Final Fantasy IV, V, and VI Advance (a series also known in Japan as Finest Fantasy for Advance). The European version used a slimmer menu font, to allow for the longer enemy and item names required by certain European languages. (Specifically, this version is specifically based on FlamePurge's Font Facelift hacks of the FFIV, V, and VI fonts - all of which can be found on Romhacking.net - which have been slightly modified for increased readability on the tiny GBA screen.)
The main menu font used in the European release of Final Fantasy I+II: Dawn of Souls for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. (There is a thinner version of the font used for job names, but it doesn't seem to have a full set of Latin characters, at least in this release.) Named for the Lifespring Grotto, one of the bonus dungeons from the Dawn of Souls release of FFI.
This font is limited to those characters directly taken from the in the in-game font; no characters have been added, with the exception of doubling the apostrophe for the basic quotation mark. (Before anyone asks, yes, the regular question mark and inverted question mark looked different even in the original!)
The font used in the unreleased English prototype of Final Fantasy II for the NES (subtitled Dark Shadow Over Palakia, hence the name). Includes hiragana and katakana taken from the original Japanese version of FFII! Many extended Latin characters based on the existing font have also been added.
I created this 98-glyphs font specifically for 4x3 pixel (the smallest possible?) writing in GB Studio for Game Boy games. It also works well for pixel art and a general retro look. It can be used with Aseprite, Libresprite, Photoshop, Photopea, and other apps.

The tile set includes an incomplete set of latin characters. The arrows are mapped to "Black Right-Pointing Triangle" (U+25B6), "White Right-Pointing Triangle" (U+25B7), and "Black Down-Pointing Triangle" (U+25BC). The Japanese Yen "円" character is mapped both to the generic Yen (U+00A5) and the correct CJK unified idiograph (U+5186).
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above their respective character. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

This is a Sans Serif display font that is based on the game "EarthBound" for Super NES. It has Latin, and soon Asian characters for overseas font lovers. And it's wonderful to use it as a GUI! If you are an RPG fan, it's worth a shot!
