I know there's some buggy Windows save-editors floating around, but I wanted to do this on Linux in Bash.

Basically, it's a small shell script you can run in your Terminal that finds your Norende Village save data and edits the population count. This is for people emulating Bravely Default on Linux with Citra, but with a little feedback I may be able to add more features and get it to work with more emulators.

The main obstacle is I'm not familiar with where Bravely Default stores all it's different values (like pg or exp, etc.) and I had to go hunting through random forum threads just to figure out this much.

Anyway, this probably isn't that big of a deal to too many people, but I figured I'd share for the few like me who wanted to emulate this game on Linux without missing out on the Norende Village unlockables.
