Ver 1.0 on Disc
Disc ID: PPSA-09663
Spine ID: 2109292

2 playthroughs completed including most side quests.
True ending was achieved.
Most of the map was explored.
Every vocation was unlocked, used, and maxed out.
Almost every armor and weapon acquired.
Every enemy type and boss was encountered and defeated.

Performance:
FPS is unstable and will dip very low depending on your location and how many effects or NPCs are on screen. The worst location is the first major city of the game, especially when loading into the area after continuing from the main menu or reloading at the inn.

NPCs can be observed loading in right in front of you, this is worse if you have just loaded a save, fast-traveled into the area, or if you travel through the area to quickly. Every other area in the game does not suffer these extreme FPS drops but still suffer from minor to mild drops. It's worth noting the FPS drops never made the game unplayable or made us want to quit. If you are not sensitive to performance issue this won't bother you much.

Bugs/Issues:
No severe bugs observed but the game has a fair amount of jank as most open world RPGs do.
Depending on your character's body size, in some regions you may observe minor clipping on some armors.

Note:
The game does have micotransactions but they cannot be accessed in the disc build and are completely pointless as all items can be earned in-game without any trouble.
