@shaderphantom if you look at VRAM in the translation you can actually see the 7px-wide english font being rendered into 16x16 tiles (and a big fat numerical font up above to compensate for the extra horizontal resolution)
Evidently Tales of Phantasia and Star Ocean were both 48m SFC cartridges, but both were never on SNES. The largest outside of Japan was 32m.
The game is also on a 48 megabit cartridge ROM. I don't think that fits on any production SNES cartridge ever made? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Trial of Mana's translations in Collection of Mana uses a hi resolution mode for rendering text that creates noticeable artifacting when using screen filters in e.g. RetroArch if the core changes the screen buffer size to accommodate it. It's a really impressive romhack; they really abused the crap out of the SNES to pack in all this text.
has poor taste in video games
