I looked at both of these DefaultStats files. And honestly, I didn't see any difference between them (unless you consider my edits).
In general, looking at them, it seems like the developers edited the file in a2p1-data.pak and then just copied it from there to data.pak.
The game seems to read the most recent file.
And since the names are the same, even if I move (copy) the file from a2p1-data.pak to my data folder ---> GameMechanics ---> RPGStats, edit it, and save it.
Won't it be pointless? Because the names are the same in both.
Or another idea, move this xdb file from a2pa1-data.pak
to GameMechanics, which is the most recent file for me, and simply copy everything from my edited one into it, all the content of the xdb file I edited.
