Map Item Collection based on Chapter Progression
Some map items cannot be collected once you progress to the next chapter. When you advance to the Castle map after Chapter 6, you won't be able to return to the Village map. Make sure to check for any missed items before moving on to the next map, as you won't be able to retrieve them later.

Weapon Upgrades Cannot be Undone
Once a weapon is upgraded, it cannot be reverted back to its original state. Consider whether you immediately need the upgrade or not. While you can regain the money spent on upgrading a weapon by selling it, you will need additional money to repurchase the weapon, so choose which weapons to upgrade.

Sold Items Cannot be Repurchased
Once an item is sold, it cannot be repurchased. This is especially important for key items, as they can also be sold. When selling items, make sure to confirm if they can be obtained again.

Crafting Consumes Items
When you craft an item, it is consumed and cannot be reverted back to its original state. It is recommended to craft materials that can be used for ammo when you run out, as it helps prevent situations where you lack specific types of ammo.

Difficulty cannot be reverted once changed
Difficulty can only be changed for the Standard mode, and once changed, it cannot be reverted. After a game over in Standard mode, it is possible to change to the lower difficulty level, Assisted. Once changed, it cannot be reverted back to Standard so be careful. Hardcore difficulty cannot be changed, so if you want to change the difficulty, you will need to start a new game.

Weapon parts can be attached and detached
Weapon parts can be attached and detached. When obtaining a new weapon, you can remove the attached parts and attach them to another weapon, so it is recommended to actively equip weapon parts to improve your weapons.
