Day/Night cycles in FF6

I didn't try Refresh objects this time. I have thrown it in many times before when I wasn't sure what to do, but it has never helped me before. I'll try it again though.

It doesn't affect all NPC's on the map; it only messes with the NPC that has the highest number in the LE (if there's 10 NPC's, NPC 10 will turn upwards). I think it works the exact same way as if I were to turn that NPC upwards by putting CC in their action queue. NPC's walking around will only turn upwards for a second, because they're still moving, and they'll continue walking as normal afterwards. If I leave the map and come back, the NPC's are in their normal position.
