- In the Occult Crescent: North Horn critical encounter “Dark Artistry,” the visual effect of the enemy action “Dark Flare” appeared narrower than the actual attack.
- In the Occult Crescent: North Horn critical encounter “Accept No Imitators,” no sound effect was played when the visual indicator for the boss action “Spinebreaking Stampede” was displayed.
- In the Occult Crescent: North Horn FATE “Eye to Eye,” certain visual effects from the boss actions ”Cold Stare” and “Sinister Sight” were displayed for players who were not participating in the FATE.
- In the Occult Crescent: North Horn, stepping onto the circles to travel to specific locations could cause players to become stuck in the ground or midair and prevent movement.
- The animations/visual effects for the following phantom actions were not displayed properly in the Occult Crescent.
Occult Aero III / Occult Holy / Chaos Drive / Punishing Ray / Drain Touch / Step Forth
- Visual effects were not depicted properly at certain camera angles for the following weapons when they were drawn.

- The keybind and log filter settings saved via Configuration Sharing were stored under "Miscellaneous Data" instead of "Character Configuration."
- Touch screen input was not recognized as player input during duties, causing players using only touch screen controls to be treated as inactive and forcibly removed from duties after a certain period of time. (Nintendo Switch™ 2 version only)
- In the Gold Saucer GATE "Air Force One", shots fired via touch screen controls were launched toward the previous reticle position rather than the location touched. (Nintendo Switch™ 2 version only)
