Known Issues
The very beginning of the game (post-processing error)
- Type: GFX Glitches
- Affected Game Versions: All
- Description: When you start a new game, instead of the black and white effect on the screen (Hyakkimaru's eyes), it has black and grey blocks/bars. Unable to see the game characters and the whole levels. Very similar problem to the Valkyria Profile 2 Lost Forest part.
- Solution: Use software mode during this section of the game.
Character shadows display error
- Type: GFX Glitches
- Affected Game Versions: All
- Description: The characters in the game have a blob like shadow, but only a rectangle border show up a little around the characters (which should be invisible at normal conditions).
- Solution: Use software mode if it bothers you.
