Final Fantasy III: Overhead

Final Fantasy III: Overhead is a game modification for the Super Nintendo version of Final Fantasy III. It addresses a graphical bug occurring during a scene in the Narshe weapon shop, where the Ragnarok Magicite appears incorrectly when viewed from certain angles. The patch ensures that the Magicite remains in the correct position when presented by the salesman before the player makes a choice regarding it.

When you go to visit the Narshe weapons salesman, he shows you a piece of Magicite - Ragnarok. But he's trying to show it to you and NOT your character, as evidenced by the fact that if your character is approaching him from the south, the Magicite will appear behind his or her head. This patch makes the salesman keep the stone close to him until he actually gives it to you.
