Known issues
Leaving the game running for an extended period of time (~12 hours) can result in the game losing it’s ability to save until it is powered off and on again. This bug is present in the original version of the game as well.
Browsing the Kanji section in text entry can cause the game to crash, so please avoid the Kanji section. This is due to the areas in memory reserved for Kanji text entry being used to fit the English translations.
Players can rename Athle to anything they want, however the player will be referred to as ‘Athle’ for all story content. The new name will however be visible in menus and in battle.
