  * ff6v12v0z.rar/ff6v120z.zip should contain the following:

  - ff6v12v0z.txt:       ...Just kidding.  You won't find this file here.

  - ff6v12v0z.ips:       Apply this patch to your English "Final Fantasy 3" ROM.
                         My hack used 1.1 as a base, and was compared to a 1.0.
                         In theory, this patch should work on both 1.0 and 1.1 ROMs.
                         I hope so, anyway... Just patch and play.

                        *This is NOT an upgrade patch!!*
                        *You MUST patch this over a clean Final Fantasy 3 ROM!!*

    Well, enough babble... onto the readme!

  1.)  Eh?

    You should clear your throat.

 **************************************************************

  2.)  What's the point of this?

    There seem to be a lot of FF3 to FF6 hacks out there.  Mine's better.
    Actually, it probably isn't.  I basically fixed up everything that annoyed me
    about the game.  The point was to make the game less annoying and more fun,
    and every change I made I felt would have made the original FF6 a better game.
    Don't expect anything great or new from this hack - basically, just play my
    hack if you feel like playing through FF6 again (or if you're playing FF6 for
    the first time).  Anyhow, the changes are detailed below.

 **************************************************************

  3.)  What's done?

    *Battle music removed from certain areas.  Basically, wherever it ruined the atmosphere.
    *Character names fixed.
    *Dialogue cleaned up.
    *Elemental bias removed.  Ice spells are no longer stronger than Fire spells, etc.
    *"Esper" names fixed, now (correctly) called genjuu.
    *Genjuu spells have been changed a bit.  Basically, genjuu have had weaker spells added to
     their lists (Golem now teaches Cure and Cure 2 instead of just Cure 2, etc.).
    *Ifrit now teaches Drain x2 instead of Drain x1.  Drain shouldn't be the hardest spell in
     the game to learn.
    *Item/equipment names fixed/changed.  Some items were renamed because of space limitations.
    *Leo can now use sword techniques.  It seemed to make sense.
    *Mog can now wear the moogle suit.  See above.
    *Original "Final Fantasy 6" title screen restored.
    *Original monster and genjuu graphics restored.
    *Phantom Ring's attack power penalty is now less harsh.
    *Raiden's level up bonus is now Speed+1, and he now offers Meteo x2 in additon to Quick x1.
     He only costs 70 MP to summon now.  Upgrading Odin to Raiden no longer results in a loss.
    *Ramuh's spells have changed from Bolt 2 x2, Poison x5 to Bolt 2 x5, Poison x2.  I don't know
     why you could learn Bolt 2 faster from Madin than from Ramuh...
    *Rename Cards can now be purchased.
    *Shiva no longer offers the Cure spell.  I don't know why she ever did.
    *Sprint Shoes are now automatic! This is probably going to be the favorite feature.
    *Sprint Shoes replaced with an "Element Ward" that lowers elemental damage by 50%.
    *Ted Woolsey's name removed from the opening credits (haha).

 **************************************************************

  4.)  What do you intend to do in the future?

    I'd like to be able to expand genjuu/spell/item names...  I don't know ASM, and the only two people
    I can think of right now that would know how to do it are Yousei and Skeud Skeud.  Skeud Skeud doesn't
    speak much English and has been busy...  and I don't know where Yousei is.  I'd also like to change
    the character names in the ending credits, and again, I don't know how.

 **************************************************************

    That's good for now.  I hope you like this damned thing.
