Final Fantasy III: Item/Magic Counter is a modification for the Super Nintendo version of Final Fantasy III, addressing a bug where certain bosses like SrBehemoth and Flame Eater counter all commands following specific spells. This patch restricts their counters to only designated spells, enhancing gameplay balance. It includes various patch options for headered and non-headered ROM formats.
The SrBehemoth and FlameEater bosses are two enemies in the game that counter certain spells used against them. However, if another command such as Fight is used afterwards, they will counter that too, until another spell is used. This patch ensures that only the specified spells will be countered, and nothing else.

PATCH INFORMATION:
SNES patches work on version 1.0 or 1.1.
SFC patches work with RPGOne's translation version 1.2.
URGENCY:
Medium to high. Not extreme because it only occurs in a couple of places, but still worth fixing.
PURPOSE:
There are a few cases where an enemy script that is supposed to counter only a certain type of attack will instead counter anything. For example, a living SrBehemoth counters Flare or Pearl used against it with Meteo, but will then counter any attack against it with Meteo until another spell is used. There is a similar situation with Flame Eater: after Demi or Quartr is cast on it, it will counter anything with Quartr or Flare. This patch fixes these few cases; there is already an existing patch that fixes others.
