Final Fantasy III: Stepping Out is a bug fix patch for the Super Nintendo version of Final Fantasy III, addressing an issue where holding the Y button during movement would delay event triggers. This patch ensures that events activate correctly when stepping onto triggered tiles. It includes multiple versions for both headered and non-headered ROM files across various platforms.
In Kefka's Tower or the Phoenix Cave, if you hold Y as you step onto a tile with an event trigger, the game will switch parties without triggering the event. If you switch back to that party, the event will trigger then. This patch ensures that the Y button does not delay event triggers.

URGENCY:
Medium.
PURPOSE:
The game does not properly handle the possibility of the player holding Y while moving, in a setting where pressing Y allows you to switch between parties. One thing you'll notice is that the camera keeps moving during the fade-out, which isn't inherently a problem; however, more importantly, any event triggers on the tile you step to don't trigger until you switch back to that party. This can mean things like the teamwork-oriented switches that lower the spikes in Phoenix Cave don't work in a timely manner. This patch ensures that event triggers do not get skipped like this.
