Hi everyone! Here's a patch I've been wanting to do for a while now. Imzogelmo's patch "Shadow Leaves One-Man Party" fixes the bug that allows Shadow to leave you with an empty party in Narshe. For the unaware, it's simple. Between the Battle for the Frozen Esper and the opera scene, Shadow hangs out in Kohlingen's cafe. Before finding Terra in Zozo (you can't do this after because Locke and Celes become forced members), make a party of only Gau, and buy Shadow's help in Kohlingen. Travel to the Veldt, make Gau Leap, and then bring Shadow to Narshe. Because Shadow is programmed to leave your party when you enter Narshe, Shadow will leave you with an empty party. You'll be unable to move, unable to do anything, and thus forced to reset the game.
Imzogelmo's patch fixes this bug by preventing Shadow from leaving the party if he's the only member, but still prevents him from entering Narshe. While it's a good fix, I'm not 100% satisfied with it because you still have to travel all the way back to the Veldt and find Gau just to continue the game. My patch offers an alternative: Shadow will still leave, but if it means your party becomes empty, the party selection screen will be invoked and you can start fresh from Arvis's house.

WARNING! I have just found an issue with this patch: it locks the camera in place. I will fix this problem as soon as possible.

I've just found out that apparently there's something else wrong: under some weird circumstances, my lead character will inexplicably shift way outside the boundaries of Arvis's house.

OK! I've fixed everything (as far as I know)! This patch is now safe to download.
