I think this bug must already be known but here it is:
# Playground version: ppr479
# Cpu eerec on, vurec0 and vurec1 on, MTGS on
# Plugins used: GSdx 1.13 Dx10 Hardware, zerospu2 0.4.6
# Description: Games Freezes in the begining when trying to make a new game, book opens camera go closer to the book and ... nothing the image freeze, music still continue to play. Tryed on kind pcsx2 0.9.4, ppr426, ppr479, svn528, change mutliple times the round mode of EE and VU, clamp mode, changed FZ and DAZ in both too, tryed with and without speed hacks, with and without gamefixes individually and all, even tryed with all options uncheck on CPU options since EERec is known to freeze Mana Khemia Alchemists of Al-Revis, tryed GSdx in software ( doubt this would work) and ZeroGS 0.97.1.
There really is no need to make this a priority, wonder if this same problem happen in others games.

Still happens in 0.9.6, it seems in game there fog or mist in battle maps only way i find to fix it was with ZeroGS No Target Clut even GSdx10 software didm't fix it.
