KNOWN BUGS
=======================================================================================
-If you have savestates from an earlier version of the patch, or the Japanese
version, those savestates WILL NOT WORK with this new patch. The best thing
to do is save normally using the in-game save function. This information is
constant among versions and will allow you to play the game normally regardless
of which version you use.
-We tried getting rid of the Japanese subtitles in the intro (the dialogue's
in English anyway), but some are still there. We're not planning on translating them
since it's a pain and the people speak in English anyway. 8p If you can't make out
what they're saying, check the Star Ocean Shrine walkthrough (link below).
-Only two colors can be displayed in the dialogue at any time. A very few places
try displaying more than that and ends up looking a bit strange.
-The techniques for Fear, Perisie, and Marvel don't have the yellow tech name
in their description that the other characters' techniques have.
-The ?Guard item has the same description as ?Item.
-There are numerous bugs that are inherent in the game and have nothing to do with the patch
itself (such as an item duplication bug, and various freezing or crashing bugs). Check the
Star Ocean Shrine (link at the bottom of the file) for info on these bugs.
Because Star Ocean is such a huge game and has so many variations as far as
party make-up goes, it's quite possible that there are bugs or bad translations
we missed during beta testing. If you've found one, please post it on the
Star Ocean Bug Report Forum:
http://board.zsnes.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=16
The forum has been created after the first full release, so anyone can
register and post bugs there. Please read the Rules thread before posting, as there
are detailed instructions on what to do there.
