This patch restores the original item stats from the Japanese game (Elnard).

There are only two effects of this patch:

• M Water now costs only 700 gold instead of 1200 gold (the sell price is also affected)
• Armor resistances are more evenly distributed across the base/body armor slot and the accessory slot.

For some reason during localization, all body armor items had their resistances lowered by 20% and all accessories had their resistances increased by 20%. There are a few instances where this isn’t exactly true, such as an item with a 10% resistance being lowered to 0% instead of -10%, because the game does not support negative resistances.

Practically, the only noticeable difference in gameplay with this patch (aside from cheaper M Waters) is a slight increase in difficulty for some characters: those that wear heavy armor, as well as Lux and Wilme, will have 10% less Debuff Resistance than they do in vanilla 7th Saga, and Wilme will have 20% less Ice Resistance.

See the readme for a detailed list of resistances changes.
