Star Ocean: First Departure

[ShadowfoxEX]

Camera pan is fine. No lag, no fps drops or freezes. Pressing Triangle to open up the menu, freezes, sound and everything, then resumes. Leaving town, entering buildings, etc. same issue. Lowering the the display resolution lowers the length of the pause though it doesnt remove it. Bear in mind that this is during buffered rendering.

Non-buffered rendering, the pause doesnt exist, though it forces the stenciling to not exist, hence the characters being transparent through what would be considered objects and buildings.

I should clarify, these are two separate issues. Either I play with a pause/lag, or I play without stencil tests, which feels weird.
