- Players are encouraged to keep a backup of their original game file in case an error occurs.

- Two patches are included.

   TotalGraphicsUncensorship_v200.ips (Primary Patch):
    Reverts all graphical changes made to Final Fantasy III (US) for SNES.

   OriginalMPGrowth_v100.ips (Secondary Patch):
    Restores the MP growth curve from the Japanese version. FFIII US, for some reason, saw its MP
    growth changed so that characters gain slightly less MP overall, making it a little more
    difficult to maximize MP.

  Both patches CAN be implied in tandem.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There have been various attempts at removing the graphical censorship made to Final Fantasy VI over
the years. While the efforts have been appreciated, there hadn't been a unified "one and done" patch
that reverts everything all at once. Total Graphics Uncensorship aims to achieve that.

Note: This patch appears to conflict with madsiur's Zozo Petty Sign Fix. However, I saw them work in
conjunction by applying Total Graphics Uncensorship first, then Petty Sign Fix.

Changelog
=========
v2.00
- Reverted superfluously changed data. (Credit to kamesennin and silentenigma)

- Incorporated silentenigma's FF6 Silence Graphic, which properly and fully reverts the Mute symbol.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

v1.00
- Corrected mine cart sequence battle background. (Credit to silentenigma)

- Separated the MP growth curve restoration from the main project; now provided as an optional
   patch. Apply Original MP Growth on top of the new Total Graphics Uncensorship.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

v0.1
- Applied Yazoo's Final Fantasy VI Titlescreen Mod. Unfortunately, as a side effect, Ted Woolsey's
   name was removed from the opening credits.

- Applied Terii Senshi's Original Graphics patch.

- Found and replaced the English Mute graphic with the Japanese Silence graphic. The spell and
   status effect are both still known as "Mute." Due to the way the graphic was redrawn in the
   NTSC-U release, the restored symbol has very minor changes to its Japanese counterpart.

- Reverted the 4 pub signs, as well as a weapon shop sign that received a minor graphical touch-up.
   When you enter a pub, however, the location label will still say "CAFE".

- Applied Dr. Meat's Final Battle Uncensored patch.

- Restored the original MP growth curve from the Japanese version; in the English release, for some
   reason, how much MP you receive upon level up was lessened slightly.
