Final Fantasy III: Rock Bottom

Final Fantasy III: Rock Bottom is a fan-made patch for the Super Nintendo version of Final Fantasy III, enhancing the game's mechanics by addressing a specific bug related to the Near Fatal status condition. The patch ensures that party members remain in Near Fatal status when their HP is less than one-eighth of their maximum, even after suffering from Petrify status. It includes multiple patch options for different ROM types.

The game gives party members Near Fatal status whenever their HP is less than 1/8 of their max HP, with one exception: right after they've lost Petrify status. This patch eliminates that exception.

URGENCY:
High.

PURPOSE:
The game automatically calculates Near Fatal status for each member of your party based on their HP: if it's less than 1/8 of the maximum, they will be in Near Fatal status. However, Near Fatal status gets removed if the party member is Petrified and does not return when Petrify status is removed. This patch makes sure Near Fatal status is updated when Petrify is removed.

VERSION HISTORY:
v1.3 (February 4, 2018): Added GBA patches.

v1.2 (May 3, 2016): Fixed a bad branch update in the "Premature Continuation" version.

v1.1 (April 26, 2016): Fixed a possible flaw whereby the newly refreshed Near Fatal status ignores immunity.
