What players say

The game is nice so far, played for 30 hours with no problems. For people who crashes randomly, could try running the game in fullscreen, this helped me from random crashes in Trails from Zero, hope it helps in this game as well. Another setting that I have is skipping the intro, not sure if this helps though, but that's all my settings and I don't get random crashes like I did when I first played Trails from Zero...
