Encountered 6 errors while saving. Progress would save when retrying.

Tester used 3 virtual memory card backups for the playthrough. One of the save files became corrupted. The playthrough was completed with the remaining saves while the corrupted one was promptly deleted.

Early in Raze’s story, an optional boss in the Learning Bridge called ‘Space Ship’ is bugged. When the boss’ turn starts, the game would always softlock. For this test, Raze’s story was started after Ulrika’s, allowing items crafted in the latter’s story to be carried over. As a result, the tester was able to defeat the boss using Tera Flames before it could make its turn. It’s essential to complete this quest to unlock recipes needed throughout.

There is a bug in the Extra chapter where the game will softlock when you view the job board when controlling Ulrika in the Student Affairs building. The softlock does not occur when controlling Raze.

After completing chapter 7 of Ulrika’s story, a quest marker remains on the map at the Dormitory with nothing to complete. The marker remained for the rest of the playthrough including the extra chapter.

Content Completed:

Completed Ulrika's story first followed by Raze.
Extra chapter and true ending completed.

Unlocked Puniyo ending.
Unlocked Goto ending.

97% Item gathering rate

Additional Notes:

The softlock issues mentioned are also present on PS2 hardware.

Enjoyable despite its issues.
