Version 1.2.1 Released

Save safety

• Tightened portable-save validation. Unrelated or arbitrary JSON files are now rejected instead of being normalized into a new default profile.
• Current wrapped .kocsave.json files, direct historical state exports and legacy Base64 saves remain supported.
• Repeated normalization, migration and damaged-save repair tests with Save Schema 35.

Equipment data

• Removed a duplicate ordinary weapon-base name that could produce two statistically different items called Gravetide Scythe. The higher-tier base is now Gravetide Reaper.
• Re-audited all 144 Job weapon profiles, all eleven stored equipment positions, Shield/Quiver restrictions, Weapon Mastery and generated item power.

German localization

• Corrected the German Version 1.2.x patch announcement.
• Updated the German tutorial from ten to eleven chapters and from ten to eleven equipment positions.
• Added Chapter XI and Echo Reach to German Journal and Story guidance.
• Restored German runtime text for World status, Maps, Forge, Village, Mine, Aquarium, Arena, Battle and several Chronicle categories.
• Corrected the German Weapon Mastery explanation so it includes both Shield and Quiver support positions.

Compatibility

• No gameplay-balance changes.
• Save Schema remains 35.
• Narrative Data Version remains 6.
• The historical browser-storage key remains unchanged.
