New features:
The following new options can make certain aspects of Crystal Project easier or less time consuming. I encourage you to give the game a try before enabling any of these options, but if something is not for you, that's OK. Please feel free to make adjustments.
These options can be accessed in game via the main menu under More Options > Assist Options and they are tied to save data. Once an option is turned on, it cannot be turned back off.
- Enhanced Home Point: Enables setting up to 3 different Home Points at a time. Earlier parts of the game can often involve a lot of backtracking. Most players may want to enable this option.
- Custom Difficulty: Enables freely adjusting the difficulty either up or down.
- Skip Minigames: Enables the option to skip minigames and obtain an automatic placement.
- Extend Timers: Timers which sometimes show up while solving puzzles will be extended.
- Boost EXP: Increases the amount of EXP earned after battle. The exact percentage is configurable.
- Boost LXP: Increases the amount of LXP earned after battle. The exact percentage is configurable.
- Boost Gold: Increases the amount of Gold earned after battle. The exact percentage is configurable.
