Man, I thought the game was super stable, but after entering the second town of Roalta(?) and talking to the Pet Shop keeper inside, my game flat out crashed. There were no logs of it in the game folder or option to get a report or anything - so unfortunately can't give any more details...

Shame too because I hadn't saved since I beat the first boss - aw well...

It's been a very good game up to this point, but random crashes are still possible unfortunately - first XSEED/Falcom game I've had this happen with..

EDIT: Haven't encountered anything like this since - now 4 more hours into the game. Must have just been a very random bug.
