@Spstr64 , after commenting out the item.atk/def etc. parts, your save loaded fine, except once when I opened the skill menu and it moaned something about half.mp (before systematically crashing).
Then, I simply saved your save in another slot, started a unedited VI and loaded it there. No errors (yet). Maybe something got screwed up while saving or something, "corrupting" your save (partially, atleast), but it seems to run fine now.
All values are now showing properly on the loading screen as well. Maybe the game really just needed to recalculate the values and save them properly?
So, it "should" be fine now... just in case, please back up your other "new" saves.
...And, yes, it's not a bad idea to use those save slots every once in a while. Something that most of us learn sooner or later... more often than not, cause your save gets corrupted and you loose all progress, realizing that most (but not all) damage could have been avoided with using the other slots / regular backups... can't really blame anyone (except yourself) for that part atleast.
