Final Fantasy III: Doubletake is a ROM hack of the original Final Fantasy III for Super Nintendo. This modification allows players to steal items multiple times from enemies, providing a chance to acquire both common and rare items, which originally could only be taken once. The hack maintains compatibility with other modifications, ensuring a seamless gameplay experience.
In FF6, Steal and Mug can only work once per enemy, even though many enemies in the game have 2 different items: a common one (7/8 chance) and a rare one (1/8 chance). This patch will allow the player to steal more than once from each enemy, giving them a chance to steal both the common and the rare item.
The hack is done in-line with the original code, allowing it to be easily combined with other hacks.

-=Intro and Description=-
In FF6, Steal and Mug can only work once per enemy, even though many enemies in the game have 2 different items: a common one (7/8 chance) and a rare one (1/8 chance). This patch will allow you to steal both items from enemies. Each of the items will retain its usual probability.
This hack is done in-line with the steal code, so as long as that code has not been overwritten or re-located, it will be compatible. This lightweight approach gives it almost universal compatibility with other romhacks.
There is only time it will not be compatible is if the patch or hack does a complete overhaul on the "Steal" routine. The only known patch that does this is Imzogelmo's "Multi-Steal Fix". Doubletake IS compatible with Assassin's "Recapture the Glory" patch. If you combine "Doubletake" and "Recapture the Glory", you should have no need for "Multi-Steal Fix", as it accomplishes the same thing.
