Options
The Options screen is the interface for managing settings that the player can modify to change some behaviors of the game. The available settings differ from the core series games by including a number of settings that customize a number of different features to fit the player's play style. Do note this is seperate from pressing f1 that applies to every rpg maker game.
It can be accessed by selecting the corresponding entry on the menu or the main menu.
List of options
Underlined options represent the default settings. Note that while the Darker/Lighter Story Mode is selected at the beginning of the game when starting a new file, players continuing from a save file created prior to version 1.1's release will have their Story Mode set to Lighter by default.
