Hey so, I wanted to kind of gather most of the P4 players together to see what the 'absolute best' settings are for this game. Before when I played P3, apparently there were certain options or builds that boosted FPS quite a bit, and I wanted to get us all on the same track for this game as well.
This is ESPECIALLY cool, because now the Alternative Builds are supported! so I think we should do this asap.
This is MY optimum experience of the game; feel free to 'top mine' if you feel you have something that makes the game more enjoyable or boost FPS:

With cutscenes and dialogue I have constant 60fps. Fps will dip sharply, however, at certain bosses, notably at the beginning (like the 'flying bird' one).
The most pronounced (relatively unacceptable) slowdown I experience are:
#1. In the Shopping District of Town
#2. In random battles
And by random battles, I mean literally RANDOM battles. Some battles will work fine but others will lag un-bear-ably. I do a little 'ritual' everytime I play that seems to get rid of thise lag, but I think its mostly placebo-effect. I RESET (redo) my speed hacks and cpu settings to limit, before entering the game, everytime. I don't have any real evidence of this 'doing anything' really.
Settings: Pcsx2 Build 389 with Speeds hacks #1, 2, and 4 enabled (4 being DAZ-denormal are zero). I also check the last hack (for Persona, or so it says)
CPU-dualcore options all checked, and set to 'limit'
I didn't have to do anything for 'hanging'; maybe my emulator version already fixed that prior.
Alrite guys, lets see if anyone can minimize those slowdowns!
