Final Fantasy III, known as Final Fantasy VI in Japan, is a role-playing game developed by Square for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It features an epic narrative centered around a diverse cast of characters who resist an oppressive regime. Notable for its innovative gameplay, including the Active Time Battle system, the game combines intricate storytelling with a rich world, setting a standard for subsequent RPGs.
If a character wearing Magitek Armor has the Vanish status, the "wipe-down" effect of them disappearing will include their legs and thus their outline will be drawn outside the armor. If the status is removed in battle, the re-appearance effect will also include their legs. This patch fixes both of those problems.

PURPOSE:
If Vanish is cast on a party member that is riding Magitek Armor, the game will draw the "vanishing" animation over the armor, including their legs, so the outline of their legs appears outside the armor. The legs don't ever move to reflect the same changes of pose as the upper body. Furthermore, if that invisible character becomes subject to a spell, their legs will become visible outside the armor. This patch ensures that you never see the party members' legs when they are riding Magitek Armor.
VERSION HISTORY:
v1.4 (March 21, 2016): Minor efficiency improvement.
v1.3 (February 11, 2016): Fixed another issue where the Magitek Armor status data was getting loaded from the wrong location in RAM. Also fixed a patch-breaking issue with the 1.0 patches.
v1.2 (February 11, 2016): Fixed a patch-breaking problem whereby the free space that was supposed to be added after the new function overlapped it instead, overriding the RTS instruction and consequently breaking the function.
v1.1 (December 13, 2015): Fixed a problem that made the legs sometimes not get loaded at all.
v1.0 (December 11, 2015): Initial release.
