|Comments=Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz, ('''BIOS: USA 2.00''') Plays amazingly well at 60 FPS at all times and without any serious glitch I noticed.
Minor Bugs:
*Experienced Texture corruption when changing scenes, but solved it by changing the "D3D Internal Resolution" to "Custom" and forcing "Custom resolution" to "1920x1080"
*Some 2D elements are a bit streched, but 3D elements are perfect and with the correct aspect ratio. (Related to the 16:9 ratio I'm using)
*Minor Transparency related issue: In battle, character shadows are a bit glitched (Related to the HD Resolution I'm using). Can be solved by switching to Software mode (But I prefer to live with it and play in HD)
