Our investigation has confirmed that this issue occurs under the following conditions:<\/p>\n<p>* The Accessory Expansion Kit, obtainable from the Battle Bard who appears in the field after Advanced New Game, is used to increase the equipment slots to 3.<\/p>\n<p>* The amiibo is scanned via the &#8220;System&#8221; -&gt; &#8220;amiibo&#8221; menu to obtain &#8220;Bonus WP.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>* This issue does not occur if anything other than &#8220;Bonus WP&#8221; is obtained.<\/p>\n<p>* Accessories equipped in the missing slots are not lost.<\/p>\n<p>We have also confirmed a bug where the battle BGM volume is lower.<\/p>\n<p>We are currently preparing an update to fix these bugs. We will inform you again once the release date is decided.<\/p>\n<p>We apologize for any inconvenience and trouble this may cause.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t already played this game on the Switch 2, it comes with improved performance and resolution, and more:<\/p>\n<p>Have you encountered any of these issues?
