Final Fantasy III: Backwards Jump is a fan-made patch for the Super Nintendo version of Final Fantasy III that addresses the Backwards Jump glitch. This issue occurs when a character attempts to Jump while trying to flee, causing graphical anomalies. The patch corrects these glitches, allowing characters to jump normally without visual distractions, enhancing gameplay experience.
If a party member tries to Jump while you are trying to flee from battle, that party member will Jump while still appearing to run away. This patch ensures that running away from battle does not interfere with your characters' Jumping.

URGENCY:
Varies. The glitches fixed by this patch are purely graphical and don't affect gameplay, but you may still prefer them fixed.
PURPOSE:
In battle, if you hold L and R at the same time, your characters will attempt to run. If one of your characters Jumps while trying to run, they will appear to still be trying to run away while Jumping. This patch fixes the graphics code so your character can focus on Jumping and not on running away.
In addition, this patch also fixes a glitch where Terra will not appear to run away while in her Esper form, while a Frozen character somehow will try to run.
VERSION HISTORY:
v1.3 (July 20, 2017): Added the GBA patches.
v1.2 (November 12, 2015): Fixed an issue that made this patch not work on certain characters, and at certain times the wrong party member would stop running. The breadth of the fix has also been greatly reduced, necessitating an "old" reverse patch.
v1.1 (August 16, 2015): Fixed a crash issue that occurred when trying to run away.
v1.0 (August 15, 2015): Initial release.
