Final Fantasy III: Stone Faced is a modification for the Super Nintendo version of Final Fantasy III, also known as Final Fantasy VI in Japan. This patch addresses a bug related to the Petrify and Zombie statuses, preventing affected enemies from executing their final attacks repeatedly after being petrified. It provides patches for various ROM formats, enhancing gameplay stability.
The Wound, Petrify and Zombie statuses are considered to be the game's "lethal" statuses. Whenever certain enemies are subject to them, they may perform a "final attack" before disappearing. However, in the case of Petrify, they will then perform an encore of their final attack after every turn. This patch puts a "limit one" on Petrified enemies' final attacks.

PATCH INFORMATION:
SNES patches work on version 1.0 or 1.1.
SFC patches work with RPGOne's translation version 1.2.
URGENCY:
Medium. Obscure enough to not be high or extreme, but still a very serious bug.
PURPOSE:
There are certain enemies in the game that have a "final attack" which they perform when they die. The possibilities of being Petrified or turned to Zombies are included in the definition of death in this case. In the case of Petrify, however, the enemy will continue to use its final attack in response to literally everything except itself. This patch ensures that final attacks only occur on death (or Petrification or Zombification).
