Final Fantasy III: Bland Entrance

Final Fantasy III: Bland Entrance is a modified version of the original Final Fantasy III released for the Super Nintendo. This patch addresses several bugs, including issues with character positioning during key events in Narshe, incorrect party leader assignments, and the skippable mandatory battle. The patch enhances player experience by fixing these inconsistencies, ensuring smoother gameplay.

If you try to leave Narshe during the opening assault, Terra will be shown as the party leader even if she isn't. The same will also happen when arriving at the mine and knocking down the gate to the Esper. Also, if your party triggers a battle while not facing forward, they will not face forward while being attacked. In addition, Terra does not face the right way when you try to leave Narshe with either Vicks or Wedge leading the party. Furthermore, the supposedly-mandatory two-wave fight right before the pincer attack is actually skippable. These are all problems that this patch fixes.

PATCH INFORMATION:
All PS1 patches include undo data.
SNES patches work on ROM v1.0 or v1.1.

URGENCY:
Medium low.

PURPOSE:
At the beginning of the game, if you try to turn around, an event will force you back into Narshe. This event neglects the possibility that you reordered your lineup so Terra is no longer the leader, as Terra will appear to be the leader again at the end of it. Also, during the event, Terra will be facing the wrong direction. Also, one of the in-town battles that is supposed to be mandatory is actually skippable. Also, Terra is incorrectly made the party leader in two other places during the attack on Narshe. Also, if you walk onto the tile triggering the first battle from the side, your party won't face forward. This patch fixes all of these events.

VERSION HISTORY:
v1.2 (December 23, 2019): Fixed a bad pointer in the GBA and SFC patches that broke one of the opening events.

v1.1 (July 13, 2017): Added PS1 patches.

v1.0 (January 1, 2017): Initial release.
