-----!!!!IMPORTANT NOTES!!!!-----
1. 	Aconcagua has a terrible audio bug when playing on the Duckstation emulator. This is NOT due to the patch, as this
	happens on the standard Japanese version as well. I recommend using the Bizhawk emulator to play the game.
2.	At the end of disc 1, some emulators have trouble performing the disc swap to disc 2. However, this is not a problem,
	as you can simply turn off the emulator, load up disc 2, and load your save from the end of disc 1.
3.	You may notice that the subtitles during voiced cut scenes sometimes don't 100% match up with the voices.
	This is due to very complicated technical reasons that prevent us from expanding the size of the original
	subtitles. However, I've taken lengths to ensure that the subtitles are still descriptive and meaningful for
	players who rely on reading the subtitles.
