Final Fantasy VI Advance: Border Crossing is a patch for the Game Boy Advance version of Final Fantasy VI. It addresses a bug in enemy encounter formation calculations, which occur based on map redraws rather than at each character step. This leads to enemies appearing from previous zones after certain actions. The patch corrects this by utilizing updated variables for stepwise calculations, ensuring accurate enemy appearances during encounters.
On an overworld map, battles are determined by choosing a formation from a group within 32x32 tile zone. The game calculates the zone based on the coordinates of the party.
However, the zone calculation is not run on each step, but rather on each redraw of the map.
Examples of redraws include exiting battle, exiting the menu, and exiting a town.
It is easy to see this bug by entering and exiting the menu at a boundary where the enemy formations change, then walking into the adjacent zone until a battle is triggered. Monsters will appear from the previous zone.
