Hack description

There is a major flaw in Final Fantasy II's experience system, you can gain experience with a weapon or spell by simply inputting a command and canceling your attack. This patch makes it so you will only gain experience for actual attacks.

Strange bugChrysologus2013-04-14-

This is a very important hack in that it fixes a fundamental bug. However, the hack also contains a strange error: cancelling a spell of Maria's still causes her skill to go up; moreover, it sometimes results in her Power going up! Cancelling a run of Maria's also can cause her Power to go up.

Overall, this bug is much less severe than the one it replaces, so I would still recommend this hack.
