Well guys I did it, I found a fully functional work around that got me passed my crash in the intro.
It's really simple too, a 2 step procedure that should enable you to play through just fine.
Here we go
Step 1: Run the game windowed(or run it full screen and do the second step twice)
Step 2: Press Alt+Enter
Yeah, it's really that simple, the game runs in full screen just like normal, its even ticked off in the settings if you check, but it functions like it does in windowed mode, no crashes.
Only downside for me is the awful vertical tearing issue, running in fullscreen mode using this method seems to make my graphics card think the game is running in windowed mode or something, since my forced vsync i applied in my graphics card manager doesn't kick in unless I set fullscreen mode manually(no alt+enter but then I can get passed setsuna's "anyway" line.)
Really odd and embarrassing that the fix I needed was that simple, however hopefully this issue is still fixed as I would like to have vsync in my game, but at least I can actually get passed the intro, I even skipped the OP, skipped back, saved and loaded with no issues, so for others that had crashing issues with fullscreen, give this a try.
Now I'll be waiting for that delightful anonymous uncensor patch before I continue playing so there might still be issues, but I think anything that users didnt encounter in windowed mode wont suddenly pop up in this method.
Now I will finally be getting some sleep as it's past 2 am over here
