Hey everyone. I just finished work on a brand new hack called FF3 Touch-ups & Fixes for FF3 Famicom. There's been a lot of rebalance hacks made for this game, but I mostly prefer the original balancing. I just felt it needed some rough edges smoothed out and some annoying bugs fixed. I'm glad to make the debut here on NeoROMhacking.net. I'm really rooting for this site.

FF3 - Touch-ups & Fixes.ips includes the following four components:

1. 10 corrections to sprite drawing errors across various jobs in battle, similar in nature to my prior touch-up patches for FF1 & FF5 (see included readme for much more detail)

2. A bugfix for the elemental magic damage boost affording by certain rods & staves not working. Resulting damage with those spells seems to be appx 20% higher with the fix.

3. A fix to a problem with rows in the native game, where any row adjustments made in battle would be saved after battle, and thus have to be manually adjusted. With this fix, any row changes during battle will be reverted back to the pre-battle arrangement afterwards.

4. A fix to the flee bug, where the game was supposed to set evade to zero while fleeing but mistakenly set defense to 0, making any attempts to flee exceedingly deadly.

All four of these components are included in the main patch, but are also included in separate patches in the individual components folder.

These patches were tested with the Alex W. Jackson, Neill Corlett, SoM2Freak translation, but should work with most other versions of the game.

The elemental boost fix wouldn't have been possible without everything8215's FF3 disassembly.

The row fix component involves ASM work by everything8215 which he generously contributed after I had reached out to him for guidance on the issue.

Credit to Maeson for the flee defense bugfix.
