The DX re-release includes content and gameplay additions from the Plus re-release, integrate DLC contents from prior releases into the base game as well as some quality-of-life adjustment such as abilities to dash in the free roam and fast forwarding during battle.

Essential Improvements
Atelier Sync Fix
- Improves GPU utilization in D3D11-based Atelier games and can dramatically improve performance as a result.
- Fixes the game from being locked to an internal maximum resolution of 1080p.
- Adds an external configuration for anti-aliasing (MSAA and SSAA) and anisotropic filtering.

Ultra-widescreen
- The game allows completely arbitrary resolutions by editing the configuration file IF the Atelier Sync Fix is installed.
- Changing the aspect ratio can cause UI elements to compress, stretch, shrink, enlarge, be placed incorrectly or to disappear entirely.
- Fitting the UI will not solve all UI issues.

Issues fixed
Heavy stutters without a controller
The game will stutter every few seconds if a controller cannot be found. Solutions:
- Physically plug in any controller to your computer.
- Simulate a "fake" virtual XInput controller using vJoy or Special K.
