The Turn-Based mod of Final Fantasy III on SNES has been released courtesy of clymax.

The mod is unofficial and unaffiliated with Square Enix.

Release Build: Features

You can find the release on Romhack Plaza here.

Battles are now in turn-based mode.

No more Active Time Battle (ATB) system.

Due to the way the mod interacts with the vanilla game engine, passing turns between characters with a full ATB bar still advances enemy ATB slightly.

Development Build: Features

You can now toggle turn-based via the config menu. The default setting is on.

The sound setting was repurposed, so this setting now controls both turn-based and sound.

A demo of the mod is below.
