- Attempting to steal fruit at the back of a stall results in the character becoming unresponsive to controls.

- Under certain conditions, applied settings are not saved after restoring settings.
- While progressing through some quests, the next objective is not automatically tracked.

Aside from the known issues, Pearl Abyss has said that more control improvements will be implemented in future patches, so expect a lot more updates to the open-world RPG.
In other news, a former dev at Pearl Abyss claims the game’s story was decided at the “last minute,” hence why it’s not one of its strongest points.
