Hack description

[Overview]

Inspired by Final Fantasy Restored, it is clear that the original spirit of a game is not fully realized due to bugs, hasty deadlines, and other circumstances, and that game experience can be considerably improved by more closely adhering to the original intent of the authors.

This patch of Final Fantasy III aims to alter the game to better realize the intent, as is inferred from the game's code and design decisions.

Major modifications and re-balancing to jobs, attributes, abilities, core mechanics, spell damage, item effects, etc. Each job should feel more unique, a viable choice, and knowing your character's strengths and weaknesses is important.

Changelog:

* 1.0 - 2023-10-24 :: Most changes as described.
* 1.1 - 2023-10-26 :: Modifed the "Wall" spell to have 3 charges.
* 1.2 - 2023-11-03 :: Modified steal/drop tables of enemies throughout the game.
* 1.3 - 2023-11-04 :: Rewrote steal mechanic letting skill access rarer loot.
* 1.4 - 2023-11-12 :: Changed encounter probabilities, allowing rare monsters such as Red Dragon to be seen in a play through.
