I don’t like lossy compression, but this game mostly consists of movies (1280×720@30 FPS max, developers lie about 1080p@60 FPS), and they could be recompressed

That’s why I made an option for you to download much smaller archive with re-encoded videos.

They still look pretty good at reduced bitrate. You can download this sample and compare:

Mirror 1: ZippyshareMirror 2: Multiupload

If you don’t like the quality of re-encoded files, get original ones. Remember – the choice is always yours, not mine ?

ATTENTION! Due to technical difficulties, re-encoded videos miss subtitles, so if it’s a problem for you – download original, lossless files

Selective Download

You can skip downloading of files you don’t need. Here is the list of selective files:

fg-selective-english-audio.bin (Required for lossless/lossy English installations)fg-selective-english-videos-lossless.bin (Required for lossless English installation)fg-selective-english-videos-lossy.bin (Required for lossy English installation)fg-selective-japanese-audio.bin (Required for lossless/lossy Japanese installations)fg-selective-japanese-videos-lossless.bin (Required for lossless Japanese installation)fg-selective-japanese-videos-lossy.bin (Required for lossy Japanese installation)fg-selective-videos-lossless.bin (Required for lossless installation in English or Japanese)fg-selective-videos-lossy.bin (Required for lossy installation in English or Japanese)

In example, if you want to launch the game with English UI/Voiceovers and re-encoded videos – skip all “selective” files, but download [b]fg-selective-english-audio.bin[/b], [b]fg-selective-english-videos-lossy.bin[/b], [b]fg-selective-videos-lossy.bin[/b] & all main files (01-05).

No controls and sound problem

By default the game launches in a very small window, without controls mapped and with volume dropped to zero. To set up controls, video and audio, go to: Terminal disc > System > Steam menu

Temporary controls for navigation are the following: arrow keys = menu movement; left mouse button = A, right mouse button = B
