Final Fantasy III: Unequipium is a patch for the Super Nintendo game that addresses a bug related to character stats when equipment is removed during events. This fix ensures that a character's HP and MP are recalculated accurately, preventing misleading displays in the party selection screen. Available for both headered and non-headered ROM files, the patch enhances gameplay clarity and accuracy.
When characters have their equipment removed due to scripted events (e.g. the guy that allows you to remove equipment automatically from various party members all at once), the game does not recalculate that character's stats, such as HP and MP. This means that those stats will be displayed wrong the next time you decide to change party members. This patch makes those events recalculate the stats automagically.

URGENCY:
Medium to high.
PURPOSE:
Whenever an event triggers that removes all equipment from a character, the game fails to recalculate their properties unless that character is in the current party. For example, equip a Green Beret, which gives an HP bonus, onto a character, then swap that character out for another. Go to the equipment guy in the airship and ask him to unequip everyone outside the party. The next time you switch out party members, you'll notice that the Green Beret character still has an HP bonus, despite no longer wearing a Green Beret. Fortunately, they lose the HP bonus when you add him to your party, but the fact that the party selection screen shows an HP bonus they don't have is misleading. This patch corrects the party selection screen in this regard.
