*: I replaced a 3-byte instruction with JSR $xxxx to increment the frame counter
then did the instruction I had delayed.

**: These are LDA $C0FD00,X calls that were replaced with JSL $C0D6B0 calls.

Urgency: Medium to annoyingly high
It depends on if you really believe that FF6 uses a random number generator. ;)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:

Final Fantasy 6 uses a table of 256 values that it "randomly" loads from, which
then returns the psuedo-random-but-predictable-number.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What this patch does:

Eliminates the old random number generator, of course. It is replaced with
something that I at least hope is better in the long run.

Note: The anti patches will remove the patch.

Version history:

v1.6a - October 30, 2008
        I've righted a wrong, and finally added BMF54123 to the credits section.
        No changes made to patch.

v1.6  - January 18, 2008
        Removed the two last calls in bank C1, as they were causing massive
        spell animation slowdown. Added a ton of calls in bank EE.

v1.5  - There were more LDA $C0FD00,X calls than I thought.
        WARNING: This patch is no longer compatible with v1.1 of the rom!
        The code at C1/CD53 and C1/CECF has been shifted left three bytes. So,
        v1.6 of this patch will include a patch for v1.1 :)

v1.0a - Minor changes made in readme and in Random - new C3.txt
        While the branches were correct, where the text file said they were
        going was not correct.
        No changes made to patch.

v1.0  - Initial release

            that I had missed a few LDA's.

assassin - Double notice for looking at my code and making sure that I can
           indeed program with this insane assembly. :P
