* Note: Valkyrie Profile 2 has a lot of graphical issues that have not yet been addressed/fixed by the PCSX2 team. To avoid fiddling with the settings, you can use a custom plug-in for VP2 [https://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?83282-Need-best-configuration-for-Valkyrie-Profile-2!!&p=1631940#post1631940 developed by c@rder]. You can [http://www.mediafire.com/file/5nqkfm1gl0vss0v/GSdx_VP2.rar/file download the plug-in here (WARNING third-party link, always scan with your antivirus)]. Note that it seems to only work with [https://pcsx2.net/download/releases/archive-download/category/39-pcsx2-v1-0-0.html PCSX2 v1.0.0]. It's still recommended to download the latest dev build from the official PCSX2 website.

|Workaround=This is caused by using widescreen patches. Play the game without widescreen patches, and use the built-in native 16:9 support instead.

|Description=When using Direct3D hardware renderers, the game will be missing various kinds of post-processing effects.
|Workaround=This has been resolved in recent v1.5.0 git builds. Use OpenGL renderer and keep Blending Accuracy to at least Basic level. CRC hack level should be left on Automatic.

|Workaround=Under GSdx options, Enable HW Hacks, and then set TC Offset X: 450, and TC Offset Y: 250 to mimimize ghosting. Note that his will cause graphical glitches in other scenes. Alternatively you may also use the Alpha Hack, but this will remove some effects from the game.

{{Issue
|IssueName=Bad rendering in certain areas
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=1
|Description=In some areas of the game (in particular the Forest area at the start of the game), there will be a purple effect all over the screen when the ''Renderer'' is set to any of the Hardware modes. You can still advance, but it will be very difficult to move around without being able to see where you are exactly.
