To open the Option dialog, open the System menu and choose Options.

System

Video

Video tab

Resolution

Lower resolution helps display softer animation. Resolution setup higher than the hardware specification may slow the game play.

This option has no effect in windowed mode, use edge selection to change the size of the game in windowed mode.

Color Depth

High quality colors help render clean and clear screen. Game speed could deteriorate when the settings exceed the hardware specification.

Full-screen Anti-aliasing

High level anti aliasing can generate soft graphics on the screen. Settings exceeding the hardware specification may create issues with the game play. Anti aliasing mode is not differentiated by brand names of graphic card vendors.

Interface Color

Modifies the appearance of the HUD and windows inside the game.

Brightness

Wide Screen Support

Toggles the ability to select wide screen resolutions in the Resolution drop down.

Note: You can always see the same horizontal distance regardless of height, meaning you will see less vertically the wider you make the game. This can make it hard to see the health of tall enemies.

This option has no effect in windowed mode.

Use Film Style Post Shader

Digital post processing is done to render a movie-like screen. (Some may be unable to choose this option.)

Effect

Effect tab

Shadow Effect

High setting can minimize wavy lines in the shadow. Setting higher than the hardware specification may slow the game play.

Critical Effect

Adjust the flash on the screen for a critical hit and other occasions. Please select 'Light' or 'Not Used' if you feel dizzy or tired after playing for an extended period.

Range of Vision

Adjust the Range of Vision for the surrounding fixed landscape. Changing this option will not influence the vision range for other characters, monsters, changing objects (i.e. campfire, guild stone, etc.).

Use / to change settings.

Water Reflection

Toggle on/off the option to display reflection of landscape and characters on the water surface. 'Simple' or 'Detailed' option requires a video card matching GeForce4 Ti or Radeon 8500 class. Using this option can display beautiful images but slows the game speed a little.

Footstep

Use this option to see your footsteps at certain regions (snowy area, water, etc.).

Dithering

Enables using low quality colors in patterns to make them appear as high quality colors. Enable this option if your hardware does not support 32bit color.

Full Scene Effect

This option enables a special effect to display afterimage.

Render Sky (Render Heavenly Bodies)

Use the option to see the sun, the moon and the stars. Clouds will appear partially hidden by mountains resulting in an odd effect. There is little difference in game speed after selecting this option.

Rendering Specular

Use the option to display render specular.

Outline Rendering

In case of experiencing problems with the hardware specification, disabling the Outline Rendering sometimes improves the game play.

Alpha Fog

Makes fog appear semi-transparent. Game speed can be improved a little by disabling this option.

Glow Effect
