Ok, so here's what I've gathered so far:
- 30fps (yeah, we've been through this a lot)
- 720p internal resolution lock
- Dynamic DRM (create new .exe each time the game launch)
- Overlay(s) may cause the game to crash
- Opening config & save menu takes 30 seconds on certain version of Windows
- Lots of typo in menu (which can be easily fixed by editing a txt file)
- Reports of random crashes

And keep in mind this was a straight port from PS3 originally based on the Gamecube release from 2004. What the hell happened?

Hey guys. What to choose???
ewwww That sounds fucking disgusting
I don't get how after 10 years the GameCube version is still the best version of Symphonia. They must really not give a shit about the brand at this point.

Gamecube version is the original version. It was later down ported to the PS2 and then the PS2 version was remade for PS3 with a lot of its flaws. It feels like they down ported the PS3 version which was already originally a down port.
It's crazy.

It's a real-time action RPG with heavy combo emphasis that was originally 60FPS.
Well the original was 60fps on Gamecube.

decade old game that was 60fps when it came out
Uh...what? The original GameCube version was 60fps. It has everything to do with a game like this. It's an ACTION RPG. 30fps is a downgrade.
E - Well I got beaten to hell and back
How does it not?
It's an action game. You want fluidity in an action game.
Besides, it was 60 FPS on Gamecube.
Edit: Lol beat.

sounds like a wonderful pc port...I lie, sounds like a real mess.
Are you serious right now? This is an action RPG. Hell, I don't care if it was Chess. I'd run that at 144FPS. It's so damn clean, smooth, and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
Running Zestiria at 60 literally was a damn blessing for the game play. I can't ever go back to that unresponsive jittery shit.

60 fps does nothing in an action game? Huh?

I guess all these problems explains why it was a free preorder bonus.

Ah yes don't you just love corporate greed.

Yeah, I would be VERY mad right now if I didn't get the game for free from the Zestiria pre-order. Heck, I'll be mad if I paid Zestiria for full price just to get this pile of port. $30 for two games seem reasonable for me.

The original game was 60fps, and the game is a real time action RPG: it does benefit a lot from 60fps.
Though to be sure, the 30fps lock is the the least of this port's problems. If that would be everything wrong it with it would be fine.
Yeah, that's actually correct. The PS3 HD remaster has (remixes of) both songs.

Is this game a secret ploy by both Namco and Square to make the Final Fantasy 9 PC Port look good by comparison?

Someone pointed this out in the other thread but the DRM used for this game looks like some fake rogue anti-virus shit

Wait, really? I haven't played it yet, but I thought it just played the JP OP.
No, Bamco does not care about this game.
Because local co-op in ToS was fun as hell and the prime reason why I loved it so much. I don't know the architecture of the game but what better time to implement online co-op would there be than for the Steam port?
