This may be the most unstable game Ive played. I had to redo this stage a second time since it crashed during the auto save between stages. You can see all the visual glitches. Using the item boxes also crashes the game on this stage. Ive wasted several hours already just trying to make my way through the glitches in this game. Restoring the system, etc. I was very close to selling the PSTV unit and all the games, since I can emulate this shit later most likely. I have a 50 hour Persona 4 save on the unit though so Id like to finish that off one day.
When replaying this stage I went through on the lowest difficulty just to restore my progress from where it should have saved. I then set the difficulty back to Trooper to resume where I left off. When I replayed this stage all the glitchy visuals were gone. It gradually improved each time I booted up the stage which was strange. Did not attempt to use item boxes or pause the game however since that was crashing the game.
