Really weird glitches in FFIII!!

[aaron7]

Note, this is on an actual SNES, not a ROM.

So far, this has happened 3 times. The game plays fine otherwise.

It only happens in battles.

The SNES was not bumped or anything.

There are 4 characters in the party; Strago, Relm, Celes, Setzer.

In the most recent glitch I was in a battle... totally randomly Relm turned into Terra in her Esper form, and fell asleep. Celes dissapeared and had 0 HP, Setzer turned to stone. All four monsters jumped out of the battle at the same time. And the menu went from 4 different choices in a column to 4 in a square. I ran away, and everything was ok!

The other times it was different characters and different ailments, but the same idea.

What the heck is going on??

Relm breaks things.

She's EVIL.

Ok. Scratch that. There ARE effects from it... check out my items!

Side note, any item that says 0 seems infinite.

Check out Setzer's weapon! lol

Video of the items is here: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v245/aaron7/?action=view&current=Movie-7.flv

haha nice "Smash 'em with the pheonix down!"

I guess that Phoenix Down weapon would work pretty good against the Doom Train ;) That or any undead enemy for that matter.

I remember hearing about these glitches a long time ago when the game came out. There is one enemy later in the game, I believe in Narshe, called a Test Rider or something like that. If you turn him invisible and then have realm sketch him it makes the game glitch as well.

I had a later release of FF III and none of these glitches were present but it sounds like you have one of the early releases... which is pretty cool.

Relm's sketch is very glitchy. You should be very carefull with it, you could lose a saved game from it. Some of the glitchs are cool, and give lots of new items, but some are very bad, and cause the game to crash or lock up. When the number goes to 0, its really 255 or 256 total, not infinite.

a couple enemies cause the glitch when you sketch em, gabblygak in zozo, the test rider and any other enemy that becomes invisible on thier own (i havn't tested it on the ninjas but i assume they cause it too) You can also do it by sketching Gau when he returns on the veldt, sometimes you can get 100s of illuminas or ragnaroks and econimizers this way, and even briefly get leo in your party (or kefka) just be warned like everyone elese says, it can and will erase your save game espeicaly if the game hangs (kefka is notorious for that...fucking badass that he is)

much safer to mess with if you have one of those save state devices or an emulated version.

Wow, so I guess I'm not the first to have this happen!

The time it glitched I was battling Reachfrogs. They were outside Maranda in the WOR.

The PS and GBA versions had those bugs fixed.

Did they fix Vanish/Doom as well?

[Blitzwing256]

they fixed vanish/doom and the mblock bug in the remake thankfully.

Does being blind actually do something in the GBA version?
