==Essential improvements==
 +
===[https://steamcommunity.com/app/748490/discussions/0/2860219962081641200/ HD Texture Pack]===
 +
{{++}}Improves the UI, battle effects, and eye textures.
 +
{{ii}}Requires [https://github.com/AdmiralCurtiss/SenPatcher/releases SenPatcher] which fixes a number of bugs, all of which are customizable.
 +
 +
===[[Special K|Stutter above 60 FPS (Special K)]]===
 +
{{ii}}Frame pacing and stuttering issues exist above 60 FPS and variable refresh rate technologies are unused by default. Launching the game through the Special K Injection Frontend fixes this issue without any tweaks required.
 +
{{ii}}Using <code>SKIF %COMMAND%</code> as a launch parameter after installing Special K will automate this process.

Essential improvements

HD Texture Pack

Improves the UI, battle effects, and eye textures.
Requires SenPatcher which fixes a number of bugs, all of which are customizable.

Stutter above 60 FPS (Special K)

Frame pacing and stuttering issues exist above 60 FPS and variable refresh rate technologies are unused by default. Launching the game through the Special K Injection Frontend fixes this issue without any tweaks required.
Using SKIF %COMMAND% as a launch parameter after installing Special K will automate this process.
