This patch is a re-balance of the original Final Fantasy III for the Famicom. It is compatible with the original JAP version as well as the English translations. The purpose of this patch is to revamp the game in a way that makes the majority of more more equally viable. Ninjas and Sages are no longer the only two viable end game Jobs now that other Jobs provide their own advantages. Each Job now reflects its respective DS counterpart in regards to abilities, stats, and equipment.
A list of all changes made can be found in the Readme file.
Please let me know if you find any issues with the patch!
