Final Fantasy III: Dragons' Shrine

This patch adds a simplified spiritual successor to the GBA Dragons' Den - the Dragons' Shrine.

After defeating all of the Eight Dragons, you will be notified of a new power awakening. North of Dragons' Neck Coliseum, the Dragons' Shrine has appeared on a small island. Within you will face the Eight Dragons again, who are more powerful than ever. After defeating all eight, a path to the top of the shrine will appear, atop which...well, what do YOU think is waiting for you?

This patch also includes a failsafe to "activate" the Dragons' Shrine if playing from a save file where the Eight Dragons have already been defeated. Information is within the Read Me file in the download.

The rematches with the Eight Dragons are inspired by their GBA counterparts, but are not exactly identical. Due to limitations, they do not drop any ultimate weapons or other items. As an aesthetic touch, Red Dragon now has a different sprite, so that none of the Eight Dragons share the same sprite as the other, and all eight now have a unique color in the field. Entrance events were slightly modified in addition to all the other event work in this patch to make this possible.

The patch will expand your rom if it is not already expanded. It has been bugtested from the moment the last of the Eight Dragons was defeated, all the way to the final battle. However, if any bugs are encountered, of course report them and they will be fixed.
