v1.09

This version should fix a lot of bugs, updates several odd spellings to the official localizations (including changing the Four Guardians to their Chinese names), and (hopefully) removes hardcoded instances of "Maou" and "Yousei" in dialogue.

The new version is also now bundled with the stat palette hack that makes equipment previews more readable.

Update 1.05

This update has the following changes:

• "KAIFUKU" to "SPRING"
• "Benu" to "Bennu"
• "Trade: Seirei" to "Trade:Element"
• "Divine Retribution" to "Judgment"
• Bar drinks shortened to fit the 10-character limit

Additionally, I finally managed to get my altered demon races to appear in both the menu and in messages. The updated experimental patch is also included.

Update 1.04

This version fixes a few text glitches and changes the "GOOD" status to "NORMAL".

Update 1.03

This update adds the following changes:

• Fixes the text glitch in Analyze Spell, and moves the MP cost over a bit to make more room for the type.
• "EXTRA" battle command changed to "SKILL".
• Shortened some item/spell info text:
  • "All enemies" to "All"
  • "Fusion Sword" to "Fus. Sword"
  • "Electricity" to "Electric"
• Changed "wait for input" commands in several battle messages to auto-newline commands instead to make battles go faster. (Also did the same for Puck's spiel during the chase sequence because dear god that got annoying.)

Update 1.02

This release adds the following changes:

• "Natural" race -> "Dwarf"
• "Dverger" -> "Duergar"
• "Kerberos" -> "Cerberus"
• Adds 2 extra spaces for names in the status select menu by moving names 1 space to the left and HP/MP display 1 space to the right.
• "JUNKS" shop label to "ITEMS".
• Fixes the centering for the "TEMPLE" label.
• Recarmdra and Traport now have the correct text.
• Cleaned up the text positions to preserve the original starting locations for each block. This reduces the chance of glitches from hardcoded referents.

Update 1.01

A small update with the following changes:

• Changes the instance of "Mesian" in the opening scrawl to "Messian".
• Changes the demon "Depth" to "Drowned".

Additionally, the RAR now includes the experimental patch as well, which changes demon race names to ones I think are more descriptive and useful. These changes currently aren't reflected in in-battle messages or dialogue.
