Kingdom Hearts II - 14mission.bin

This is the file that is used by MSN files known as “Pause Menu Controller.” This file ties specific ID’s to predetermined functions and text ID’s. ID 1 for example is used by the game almost anytime Sora game-overs from a battle. ID 0x08 and 0x20 are used in Atlantica, and feature bitflags that prevent unpausing with the Start button.
