New features:

• Crystal Project now runs as a 64 bit application.
• The Auto Top Up consumable option can now be favorited and used from within the favorites menu.
• Added a new stat, Crit Resist: reduces the damage taken from critical hits equal to a % of the difference between a non-critical hit and a critical hit. A description has been added to the House of The Know-It-All Ducks.
• Bosses used to be exempt from LXP reward scaling based on the party's average level. Now, bosses instead always reward at least their full amount of LXP, but the amount can scale up when defeating higher level bosses.
• Can now view enemy passive details in the Monsters Archive.

Bug fixes:

• Unreactable will now properly apply to monsters that react by using Escape.

• Status effects which last for "damage taken" will no longer decrement unless taking more than zero HP damage.
• Status effects which last for "physical hits taken" will no longer decrement unless taking more than zero damage (can still be HP, MP, or AP damage).
• Status effects which last for "magical hits taken" will no longer decrement unless taking more than zero damage (can still be HP, MP, or AP damage).
• Elemental penalties and bonuses are no longer applied twice when a physical ability and the currently equipped weapon both share the same element.
• Fixed showing the incorrect minimap when jumping from a certain late game region.
• Removed "permanent" wording from status applications which don't expire.
• Fixed wording for some mods that said "apply debuff" but should have said "inflict debuff".
• Enemy details during battle now does a better job of fitting the content when there are many passive mods on one enemy.
• Menu position will now be remembered when using the Archive Registrar.
