Final Fantasy III: Status Unknown is a patch for the Super Nintendo version of Final Fantasy III that addresses a bug where certain status effects like Poison do not display correctly during battle. This issue arises when characters with multiple statuses cause the game to prioritize one, leading to blank displays. The patch ensures all statuses with displayable names are shown, enhancing the gameplay experience.
There are many cases in the game where certain statuses won't be displayed in battle. For example, a Poisoned, Magitek-riding character won't have Poison status displayed. This is because Magitek status takes display precedence over Poison, but Magitek's display name is blank. This patch ensures that blank display names do not override displaying other statuses.

PURPOSE:
Certain statuses in the game, such as Magitek, Interceptor or Dance, do not have displayable names, so they show up blank in battle on members that have those statuses. However, these statuses also prevent other statuses from being displayed because the game only displays the first status found in a search through the list of all the statuses. As a result, the blank display from Interceptor negates the display of Life 3 status, while Magitek negates everything except Wound, Petrify, Imp or Clear statuses. This patch ensures that statuses with displayable names are always displayed.
