Graphic filters look strange

[Vlahka]

Hopefully someone can give me some advice on this. I'm playing Tales of Eternia and its doing things I didnt get in some previous games. The characters are all nice and sharp as they should be, but whenever they move they blur up and then sharpen again after stopping. Sometimes if they face a certain direction they stay blurred too. I noticed this also happened when I used retroarch so maybe its to do with the game or a 2D thing. The other issue is the characters all seem very smeared and pastel like. Like the pixel details are all gone. I've disabled all the filters to try and see why its doing it since other games I always avoided this horrid look, but all I can get is either super blurry characters or super sharp smeared pastel detailless characters. Thanks for any help.
