I've been fooling around with this game again...

I found some more information on the text data in the English version... It seems to run off a dictionary encoding- certain bytes stand for entire words. These begin at 0xBB81, "ALIS", which is x80. It seems to continue sequentially from there- i.e., x81 is "MYAU".

Also, I figured out the control codes:
x60 - Line Break
x61 - Pause
x62 - Auto-Exit
x63 - Auto-Exit
x64 - Wait a few seconds, exit
x65 - End of Text

Of course, what I'm actually looking for, town map data, remains as elusive as ever...
