FF3j Battle Interface Upgrade

Hello!

I just finished revamping the battle interface for Final Fantasy III, based loosely on Final Fantasy IV. This has been on my bucket list for a long time, since we never got a 2D remake of this game. So here are the changes:

• Windows are now quasi-FF4 style.
  
• Unnecessary battle messages/commentary - the stuff that can be discerned from the animations alone - are bypassed. This speeds up the action a bit and looks cleaner.
  
• Battle messages are re-positioned and displayed one at a time.
  
• The monster list window on the left stays drawn during the action, updating after each actor's turn.
  
• Damage numbers are white, as is the series standard (they're easier to read that way, too).
  
• No more mandatory button press at the beginning of non-ambush battles. Rejoice!
  
• No more character I.D. numbers blinking on targets during target selection.
  
• Critical/status-afflicted sprites for Ranger, Dark Knight, and Sage have been flipped horizontally.
  

The patch applies to  FF3j English translation version by A.W.Jackson/Neill Corlett/SoM2Freak, v1.1.

Latest version is 1.6, updated 2022-05-28. Enjoy, and let me know what you think!
