We would like to update you on the status of the following items, about which we have received numerous comments from the community. To all those looking forward to this game, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

■Crashes and bug fixes
We are investigating/fixing critical problems such as crashes and freezing.
We will be addressing crashes and bug fixes starting from those with the highest priority in patches in the near future.

■The option of starting a new game
We are looking at adding a feature to the Steam version of the game that will allow players that are already playing to restart the game. We will announce more details as soon as we can.

■Paid DLC
All the items listed below can be obtained in-game or as paid DLC items.
Art of Metamorphosis - Character Editor
Ambivalent Rift Incense - Change Pawn Inclinations
Portcrystal - Warp Location Marker
Wakestone - Restore the dead to life!
500 Rift Crystals / 1500 Rift Crystals / 2500 Rift Crystals - Points to Spend Beyond the Rift
Makeshift Gaol Key - Escape from gaol!
Harpysnare Smoke Beacons - Harpy Lure Item

■Regarding Frame Rate
A large amount of CPU usage is allocated to each character and calculating the impact of their physical presence in various areas. In certain situations where numerous characters appear simultaneously, the CPU usage can be very high and may affect the frame rate. We are aware that in such situations, settings that reduce GPU load may currently have a limited effect; however, we are looking into ways to improve performance in the future.

Hooray, they've promised the bare minimum! Really still confused how you ship a game in 2024 without the ability to have multiple saves or even just start over if you're unhappy with your character.

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Because the devs planned on charging players $1.99 per save slot

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 5 points 7 months ago

Nah, that'd be too useful a feature for Capcom to charge for. All of their microtransactions are always pointless and bizarre to even include.

Yeah, I'm just so confused by this one, it seems like something designed to push the mtx for the character change, but that just sounds so ridiculous.

Like, what if I want to play a second run and start from scratch. Why is that something where I have to go delete files. It's just sooo weird.

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 2 points 7 months ago

Well you can find items to change your appearance in-game within like an hour or two of playtime, so if the goal was to incentivize use of those items, it's pretty ineffective.

Just one of many bizarre mysteries surrounding the game.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I mean the first one only lets you play one save at a time and doesn't have multiple save slots.

But I agree. Games shipping without the possibility of having more than one saved game at a time is fucking stupid and makes no sense.
