Final Fantasy III: Border Crossing is a modification patch for the Super Nintendo version of Final Fantasy III. The game features an overworld map where battles are initiated based on enemy formations within a 32x32 tile zone. A bug causes enemy encounters to reference outdated formations after map redraw events, such as exiting battles or menus. This patch corrects the zone calculation to enhance gameplay consistency.
On an overworld map, battles are determined by choosing a formation from a group within 32x32 tile zone. The game calculates the zone based on the coordinates of the party.
However, the zone calculation is not run on each step, but rather on each redraw of the map.
Examples of redraws include exiting battle, exiting the menu, and exiting a town.
It is easy to see this bug by entering and exiting the menu at a boundary where the enemy formations change, then walking into the adjacent zone until a battle is triggered. Monsters will appear from the previous zone.
