Key points
- The original Japanese version requires the game running under Japanese Unicode settings. See here for more details.
- The previous 2012 version published by ΩTH on GamersGate has poorly implemented SecuROM DRM, game-breaking bugs that were never present in the original Japanese version, and a low-quality localization.[1][2][3] This version however is no longer available.
- The 2016 version by published by Fruitbat Factory features higher resolutions visuals, native key remapping, XInput support, and a much more faithful localization.
