Playthrough in Graphics mode:
Noticable frame drops in very busy cutscenes. Mostly fine, only during the first Esper/Eikon fight and a late-game cutscene the dips are very strong.
Noticable, yet insignificant frame drops during combat.
Occasional lip sync issues.
Noticable, yet insignificant pop-in of geometry and foliage in the distance. Also, enemy animations in the distance update at a lower rate. Both "issues" are likely done for performance enhancement.
A few minor fails in logic/directing, but you hardly notice. E.g., Gav is leaving a scene to the left of the screen and when resuming control of Clive to look at the area there is only a wall with nowhere to go in that direction.
A third report encountered bad fps drops when changing tabs in the pause menu.
