Shining Ark

[VIRGIN KLM]

My nephew is a huge fan of JRPGs and he'll get everything related to JRPGs. So he got that game like a month ago and I told him I just had to give this game a go, I really liked the gameplay and the graphics, reminded me alot of Xenoblade.

So I've been playing that game for over an hour and it seems like it's playable, haven't encountered a single hang or gamebreaking glitch, savegames work perfectly too and all of the sounds (except music) are there too. Turning Buffered rendering off doesn't seem to break anything at all (atleats I haven't noticed) so go ahead and use it.

The only glitches I've run so far are really minimal. One is the black clouds, (not really annoying just weird to look at). The other is when you have Linear Filtering on you can see the edges of the textures, fixed on native resolution or when you turn off Linear Filtering (PCSX2 texture filtering and TC Offsets anybody? ). An other tiny bug is sometimes an HUD texture may get messy for a split second but that's all.
