Final Fantasy III: Tube Job is a graphical patch for the Super Nintendo version of Final Fantasy III. It addresses a palette issue in the Magitek Factory Laboratory, where two background layer tiles incorrectly display the font color instead of the intended palette. This patch corrects the palette assignment, ensuring visual consistency and preventing color mismatches with user-selected font colors.
The large glass tubes inside the Magitek Factory Laboratory have an issue with two of the background layer 3 tiles, an incorrect palette of $00 being assigned instead of $0C like the rest of the tube's tiles. Palette $00 is reserved for the font color, so whatever color the font is set to, two tiles at the top-right and top-left of the tube would show this same color... so if you set your font color to green, the two tiles will show green as well. This is an obvious mistake and this patch corrects the two tiles' palette in question to be correct. This normally goes unnoticed because with the default font color it doesn't look bad and nothing stands out...but once you go for, say, a nice hot pink font color, it becomes extremely noticeable.
