Since the Trails in the Sky games worked well in wine I thought I would be adventurous and give this game a shot (yes, I realize it's a totally different engine). It doesn't not work, but there are still some issues and I thought I would see if anyone else here had some thoughts on the subject.
First of all it's a DX11 game so you will need DX11 and I recent version of wine.
You will also need the same library for playing movies that you needed for the TitS games. This is not optional this time. The game will crash when it tries to switch between gameplay and movies without it.
Now here are the issues I'm still having:
1. Occasional graphical glitches. Seems fine most of the time but occasionally it spazzes out.
2. I don't hear any music, though sound effects and voices are fine. Now I'm still in the early portion of the game, but I think there should be music...
3. Menu not displaying in combat. Combat works, but I think initially there should be a menu for selection attack/arts/etc. It's not showing up. You can still do everything but it takes some trial and error to figure out what you're even selecting. Oddly the sub menus (like if you select arts and then need to choose a specific art) are fine, it's just the initial menu that's not displaying.
This is using wine 2.13 on a dedicated prefix. 1 and 3 are annoying but I think I could live with them...2 is a deal breaker for me. Maybe there's just no music in the early part of the game but if there is supposed to be then I want to be hearing it.
