Problems

Clothes Textures Missing
With EFB Copies to Texture Only, parts of the body and clothing will be missing, some will be rendered as complete black, and a few pieces will be properly textured. This is related to the game's texture color changing effect, and is only present on the main party characters. Disable EFB Copies to Texture Only to fix this. EFB Copies to Texture Only is disabled by the GameINI, however it may still appear if the graphics configuration window is opened during play, or if the user manually overrides it while looking for a speed up.


 * NOTE: You can re-enable EFB Copies to Texture Only once the game is running. Keep in mind that with EFB Copies to Texture Only disabled, every time a new model is introduced, such as meeting a new character, going through a loading screen, equipping a new armor, etc, it will not load. Switch to RAM before a new model is loaded to prevent it.
 * A hotkey can be set to toggle EFB Copies to Texture Only. The hotkey can be assigned in Options > Hotkey Settings.

DoF Blur
The games' depth of field effect is not emulated properly. The DoF effect is meant to change constantly throughout gameplay, yet instead it is always stuck in one position or another throughout play. Usually it isn't in the way, and presents itself as having no DoF effect at all, and other times it will blur the characters and foreground elements beyond recognition. This is especially problematic during cutscenes, where the DoF effect is changed rapidly. If it becomes stuck in gameplay, you can create then use a savestate (Shift+F1 then F1) to get rid of it.

As of ~, the depth of field blur is remarkably better. Generally it will not become stuck and the depth of field effect's transitions are properly emulated. However, during some blur transitions it may flicker, and in some extreme circumstances (such as cinema scenes) it may become distorted and stuck. Unlike previously however, it can fix itself and the DoF becoming stuck is very rare.
