Hey everybody, I didn't know where I should put that but If you are curious how the game would look in 60fps instead of somekind of unstable 30fps here's a trick you can do if you have a pretty decent machine to handle it.
First go to GS Settings and set the Base Framerate Adjust to 200%.
This will result the game to have double speed which is from 59.94 to 119,88. Check if you get stable near that framerate without serious slowdowns, if you do you most possibly can get 60fps without any issue.
Next step, is go to SPU2-X and set the Synchronizing Mode to Async Mix. This should fix the crazy speedup of audio. (Except the game music I think but I try to find a workaround on that too)
Last, in order to kill that double speed effect from the game, add to your pnach cheat this line:
or use Cheat engine to modify the address 20349E0C to 3F000000.
This should bring back normal speed to the game but the effective framerate is still double so from 30fps you get 60fps and the game looks two times smoother.
For now I can't fix the music so if you get annoyed by it I could post a cheat to mute it, everything else should work fine.
I bet this would work with other games too that you have control of their ingame speed.
Cheers!

EDIT 3: There's a new code for the Final Mix version of the game that lets you enable 60FPS but has a conditional that whenever a cutscene comes it will revert to 30FPS to avoid double speed. I guess this is the recommended code to use.
