Test Notes:
* Encountered some frame drops in performance mode, especially in more advanced areas.
* There is minor environment pop-in.
* Fire sprites are extremely pixelated. Seem to be placeholders.
* Inputs may stop working on tutorial screens if there is more than one page, forcing you to reset the game, which happened 3 times during testing.
* Game may crash if you navigate for too long in the "gear" menu.
* Got stuck once in a small space with a column and a stair blocking the way, forcing to return to title screen.
* The HUD may lose some elements like health and stamina bars when you start a mission, you need to return to the title screen to fix this.
* Healing capacity upgrades are not collectables like in the final version of the game, instead you buy them with "Daphrona" NPC using "Soulstones" that you collect in missions.
* There's an exploit that you can become immortal by equip and remove an item that give you extra status points while in "Phantom Form".
* There's a lot of English voices missing, but the game seems to be fully voiced in Korean.
* Sometimes characters finish their lines without saying the full text of the subtitles in English.
* Many creature and ambient sounds are missing.
* The "Countless Tales" trophy appears to be bugged, you need to complete all bonus missions in one sitting to unlock it.
* Met all the requirements for the "THE FIRST BERSERKER" ending but it didn't unlock, can't tell if it's a glitch or if the ending isn't on the disc build.
* New Game + unlocked after beating the main story.

Second tester playing in Easy mode also encountered no significant difference to regular difficulties. The patches make this mode noticably more accessible.
