Prone to corruption and softlocksJuneFlower2023-10-04Version 1.0

The translated prose itself is pretty good, with only a few weird turns of phrases or confusing item descriptions (which may very well be in the original as well) However, this hack is very prone to glitches. Softlocks or automatic hard resets are common, but can usually be avoided as long as you savestate often. However, there's a larger issue: character corruption. I'm having a hard time telling what exactly causes it, but after finishing the second dungeon every character that wasn't in my active party got corrupted. These characters show up as having 522 hp and mp, and have a glitched out talent menu that prevents upgrades. moreover, they softlock the game should you have one in your party when entering any battle. I've tried replaying from a previous save and the same thing happened again. This game sometimes require you to swap out characters because of field abilities, so your save file is essentially locked.
