Fans of developer left extras there is a file with some XML markup called BtlFld.isd which appeared to be connected to the 3d files in some way (my bet is on it is a file that should have been lost when the makefile ran but ended up sticking around rather than something the game uses). I have not looked to see what went with the 3d SDK but it is there for those that want to look at it. I doubt it will be as nice as that princess maker largely complete source code, the SDAT stuff from zoids (and since several other roms) or the inazuma 11 makefile but hey.
Going to be some thumbnails for this one as there are already enough large images in this thread (largely thanks to my PNG happiness) and now I jumping to silly high resolution for various things. Back on decimal numbers unless otherwise noted.
Following our conversation on IRC I looked at the rom some more
You said the following have text in them
event.dat
global_data.dat
default_data.dat
Also endroll and op.dat for credits so I am ignoring them for now (not to mention they appear to be another file format). global_data.dat mainly seemed to be a file name list and numbers counting up (for the most part) next to them once you remove the first couple of bytes.
Lots of ASCII text which is nice.
At a glance it looks like a mixture of things-
Default_data.dat for now.
Some fixed length entries (ideally I would have had every entry on a single line but my hex editor did not stretch that far)

And it goes on with various different lengths. Some databases for want of a better word are really small*
I am not shocked but I usually only see that sort of thing in packing formats and for very small entries in menus. I have seen combined fixed length and pointers/size values before and even if it is not I would not go crazy with extra lengths not to mention I have not figured out what the "second" lines mean (I am guessing some Japanese although it might be something to help the game (there are fair few control codes dotted around) too, what would be really awesome is if those were actual stats) but best case scenario (which is quite likely) you have some space to play with and no worries with having to adjust pointers. If it really bothers you (Spanish is not all that verbose compared to English as far as I know) there could be ways to change it but make life easy on yourself and try to cut your text down instead if it comes to it.
It does not look to be the case here but when doing this on other roms watch out you are not changing the names of variables or something (here there are proper names- most programmers will not bother to change the case and use of spaces in variable names is often not even possible in many languages).
* compare the first four sections (names of the player characters I know)

I have seen that between each of the sections there are a lot of unknown sections.
This of course does nothing for the main issue here
After the bestiary, item lists and locations come a few names by the looks of things and status effects.
The names look like 12 byte lists again but the ???e entries ( d01e and such) do not have anything in the 8th and 9th bytes which could indicate something- most of the entries elsewhere in that list have the same or some common value which could mean it is a flag.
Likewise some of the entries appear to jump very high in the numbers range (with an 8 but the lower part appears to follow on from the stuff before it. Kick it to the binary rather than hex and you will see that the first bit is high- such things are used all the time to signify things (NARC files I believe do it to signify directories and such)
Also possibly notable- I did not have to flip those bytes.

On the flip side the differences between several of those entries are far too small to be straight pointers and I do not think we are dealing with sector based stuff here (such things are usually reserved for consoles with large media not to mention I see no padding that is all but mandatory with sector addressing). Really not sure what goes here but if you are lucky you will not have to deal with it.
I copied everything after the ka09 entry to a new file.
First section could well be pointers although it varies after a little bit from what could be 4 byte entries to 2 byte entries
With just the 2byte entries there some 350 odd in total and possibly up to 370 (the pointer format breaks down in the mid 350's into what could be shiftJIS). Messages appear to be of the short status messages (nice control codes by the way), shop messages (although I am prepared for that to be another part), save/load type messages and other getting stuff done rather than story messages which appear to be left for event.dat so amount of potential pointers vs the amount of potential entries looks good so I push forward.
Slicing off the 4 byte section leaving just the 2 byte pointers and the text
The new file ends at 1e9a hex. None of the values exceed that (at all in this case but as long as it is not too much/around that of the length of the pointer section things are usually looking good).
Interestingly the first entry appears to be 2c6 hex which is where the pointer format appeared to break down. 2cb hex (the next entry) is just after a 00.
Searching for 00 hex yields 357 results which includes some parts of the pointers (something I can put down to chance and so can ignore for now). Copying those results and lining them up against the pointers... well I will let the results speak for themselves
(the following codebox is in hex if it was not already obvious)

(I checked and they are spot on all the way through)
You already know the text is ascii (I have not checked to see if the rest is in fact shiftJIS but I rarely see that many 8 characters unless I am playing GBA hacker), the control codes are not too hard to figure out and here at least I am not seeing many new line commands (the odd 0a hex buried within the text seems to do it- it is a common enough new line (technically it means line feed) command as unix type operating systems tend to favour it although windows typically uses 0d0a hex and macs historically at least favoured just 0d hex so be careful if using a simple text editor at some point).
It should be noted I have not touched upon the overall .dat format (that character name hex dump up above had some stuff before it) but you should be good as all the fixed length stuff appears before the pointer style text so at worst you just need to find how it stores the file length).
event.dat now. I am looking at the file as a whole until otherwise stated.
Starts with a name list although entries appear to be 16 bytes a piece and not all that organised at the start. Looking at the ASCII that is either a lot of control codes or some form of compression but I will ignore that for now.
Looking around there are lot of b??? characters seemingly at the starts of sections so a search for b0 in ascii nets some 80 odd results.
Likewise with msn there are 150 odd although they sometimes repeat, have minor tweaks (msn??a msn??b and so forth) or at not surrounding sections- 115 is the highest number I see at a glance and it skips a few here and there not to mention does not always count up).
Both way too numerous for the 16 byte entries at the start.
The whole file is 018b3c hex long (just before that there is scnend - scene end perhaps?) which makes simple pointers like before still more than possible but more than 16 bits (probably all the way up to 32 bit).
There seem to be large sections and smaller sections.
The larger ones have some section breaks of some form along the lines of bk??? along the lines of bkA01, bkA02, bkB01, bkB02, bkK01 (these are from the first three large msn sections- next is M, then L, then C
Large and small often end with 0c00 or occasionally 2c00 , the 0c part might be coincidence though (still 375 of them).
Notable strings (?= "random" numbers and >= "random" letters)
msn??? and msn???>
m???
b???
bk>??
G???
Order is often
msn???
G???
I also see a dsn which may be battle messages of some form.
0A makes a return presumably as a new line. ShiftJIS (if indeed it is that) might be back.
I am not admitting defeat just yet but I am admitting 1am. No fear guess has it as sections pointed at, plain text written from then on with possibly some values in a header somewhere as to their length although it might be a simple dump it in ram, maybe parse it (the bk stuff) and run it affair which would be nice. It might also be a proper script interpreter ( <a href="http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=296759&hl=" target="_blank">http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=296759&hl=</a> ) which I truly hope it is not for your sake but if it is my intellectual curiosity gets a new toy.
