Essential improvements
DLC unlocker
- This unlocks all equipment and accessory DLC normally unavailable in-game due to copyright and licensing issues.
Run the program, ensure DLC enabler is checked, and run the game. Accessories and weapons must be bought from Chocolina with the enabler on, and will remain in the inventory even when the DLC enabler isn't on (but invisible and unable to be equipped without the enabler on).
Video settings
- Shadows are inferior to the console versions, appearing pixelated and jagged. Adjusting shadow resolution in the launcher helps alleviate this.[2]
Input settings
- Only supports DirectInput despite recommending an XInput controller (will not use the XInput driver of a controller). Controller mapping is locked to be the same as XInput controllers. Lacks controller vibration support entirely (found in the console versions).

Issues unresolved
Inconsistent frame rate
- See tricks used on Final Fantasy XIII; workarounds apply to this game as well. The game complicates this issue further with depth of field and additional post-processing effect rendering issues.
Broken surround sound & buzzing sound
- This issue occurs when not in stereo (2 channels) or 6 channel mode due to the game incorrectly filling audio buffers, causing buzzing audio and incorrect voice positioning.[3][4]

Rain appears as white lines
- The translucency of rain is lower and looks like white lines, much worse than the console versions.
