Final Fantasy III: Double Block

Living party members can use shields they have equipped to block incoming physical or magical attacks. They can also block Fenix Downs, but they will do so twice. This patch stops them from blocking Fenix Downs more than once.

PATCH INFORMATION:
All PS1 patches include undo data.
SNES patches work on ROM v1.0 or v1.1.

URGENCY:
Low.

PURPOSE:
Oftentimes party members are shown using their shields to block oncoming attacks and spells; the game treats this as a "miss". However, one outstanding use of shields to block something is the Fenix Down item. Living characters will use their shields to block the Fenix Down item, not once, but twice. This patch brings it back to just once.

VERSION HISTORY:
v1.1 (July 13, 2017): Added GBA and PS1 patches. Also fixed a location error in the SFC patches.

v1.0 (April 25, 2016): Initial release.
