Final Fantasy III: Solar Wind is a role-playing video game developed by Square for the Super Nintendo. It features an expansive world where players explore dungeons and engage in turn-based battles. The game includes magic spells, character classes, and a rich narrative. A glitch affecting the animation of the Quasar spell has been addressed through a patch, enhancing visual consistency with other spells like W Wind.
Quasar's animation is slightly glitchy. If you cast it, and then you cast either W Wind or the Blitz Spiraler, the tornado that appears won't look like a tornado. Instead, it will look like a weird, wavy, stripy, gelatinous, blocky tentacle. This patch fixes Quasar's animation so it doesn't mess up any tornadoes.

PURPOSE:
The animation of the Lore known as Quasar has a glitch. The spell W Wind and the Spiraler Blitz feature a tornado in their animations, unless Quasar is cast first, in which case those tornadoes end up looking like big wavy stripes instead. This patch fixes the Quasar animation so it does not affect the tornadoes.
