|Comments=Runs at full speed on Software mode, but has severe framerate drops when the player is hit by a spell or when certain spells with a high polygon count are used. Hardware mode lags badly on menus, but during gameplay runs at around 50 FPS and has much less severe framerate drops. The Japanese version of the game often has lower framerates due to the comic book-style cutouts that appear on the screen during battle (A feature exclusive to the Japanese version). On Hardware mode, certain spells have a glowing effect that normally can't be seen on Software mode nor when played on the console. Despite lagging problems, both the U.S. and Japanese games run near perfectly. All speedhacks are able to either make the game run faster or have no effect. VU Cycle Stealing causes choppy framerate but still makes it run faster.
|Comments=When playing with lower-end computers, there are severe framerate drops when the player is hit by spells or spells with a high polygon count are used (runs fine on my current computer). Menus and cutscenes lag badly; none of the settings seem to aid this issue at all. The NTSC-J port often has lower framerates due to the comic book-style cutouts that appear on screen (A feature exclusive to the NTSC-J version). Hardware renderers can change the appearance of certain spells (namely Brago's), and these effects also vary between computers. VU Cycle Stealing causes choppy framerate but it does improve speed. Hardware renderers cause lines to appear in menu textures (mostly noticeable if you upscale). Despite some performance issues, the game runs near perfectly. No observable differences between PCSX2 revisions.

Menus and cut-scenes have better FPS when using Dx9 Software (I got it Capped at 52 FPs on menus and capped at 20 during animations). in fights Dx9 Hardware will help you to get 60 FPS and even if you got hit by spells or cast spells you will not notice any frame rate drops.

Menus and cut-scenes have better FPS when using Dx11 Software (I got it Capped at 60 FPs on menus and capped at 40 during animations). In fights DX11 Hardware and Software can be use to get 60 FPS. You will not notice frame rate drops but Since menus and animations have better fps when GSxD software is in use.  DX11 SOFTWARE is 100% better for this version in general and this build is even better than v1.5.
