More bugfixes
This was a Japanese game bug.
This one was tricky. It was showing Erwin’s name from the script, rather than showing the name you chose in the name entry screen, during the ending. This has hopefully been corrected, but I can’t help but wonder why the game attempted to do this in the first place. It would only make sense if Erwin’s name showed up during the intro or something, which isn’t the case …
I have converted: “Data Corrupt” -> “Corrupt data” (though I have no fucking idea what was wrong with the reverse), “No Data” -> “No data”, and “Next Scenario” -> “Next scenario”.
I have also converted the in-game load menu to show “No data” instead of “No Data”.
However, there are still many places in the game where we use all caps except articles, and many places we now only capitalize the first word. I have absolutely no idea what criteria is being used to decide which ones to capitalize and which ones not to, but we desperately need to come up with something to ensure consistency.
Take a look at the options windows, they’re good examples of all capitalized words.
Lastly, I have also fixed Scenario 14 (25)’s three incorrect character portraits. Thanks to Derrick for looking up the correct bytes to modify, that saved me a lot of time.

Basically, those ones you are referring to are titles of windows, or at least a proper noun in the sense of it being an option label. Whereas on this screen, this is more a line telling you what is located in the save slot.
This is also why describing the contents as “No data” or “Corrupt data” makes more sense than “Data corrupt”. Were we interpreting this as an error message instead of content description, then I would totally favor “Corrupt data!” — though still lower case.
Though I do believe this raises the issue of the class change window. Since this is a title, it should probably be “Class Change” instead of “Class change”. I will fix it accordingly.

Well, I don’t feel qualified to make decisions on what should and should not be capitalized. Please do me a favor and verify all the text is in correct cases for me, and let me know what I need to change on my end.
What about the end of each scenario? The save menu displays ‘Next scenario’ at the bottom. Should scenario be capitalized here or not? I’ve changed it to not be for now.
I didn’t see you online, I’ll send you the files some other time, then.

What’s so difficult about e-mail?

Yay, the Erwin has been fixed.
