Hello, y'all!
So I have recently started translating stuff - FF3j is 100% done, and I used a tool that
ChaosRush developed in order to see and translate all the text in the game in a pretty straightforward way.
Now I've been trying my hand on FF1. I was able to use the FF1Hackster tool for like 90% of the text, but there are still parts left to translate which the app doesn't have access to. So I have tried Hex-editing with a .tbl I made, but whenever I load it up in hex, this is how it is shown:

Words appear to be missing letters - and in the space where letters should be, hex shows random stuff on the PPU viewer.
What am I doing wrong?
Sorry if this is not the right place to post about this, it's just that you guys seem to be very knowledgeable about FF1.
