Comments:

Game runs and looks beautiful in 4k!
It never hanged or crashed on me.
Stable FPS with no noticeable drops anywhere.

I play this game with stretched resolution to fit 16:9 screen, because it is a trade off. Either get used to black side bars in 4:3 or to a little stretched game in 16:9. I think Tales of series looks kinda cute when stretched! Like a SD (Super Deformed) characters. It actually fits in with game atmosphere in my opinion.
I absolutely DO NOT recommend using Wide Screen patches with Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut and Tales of the Abyss. There are screens where it looks nice, but because these games still mix 2D with 3D and use "rooms" on black backgrounds many places have artifacts on the sides and/or too short sky background. It looks terrible in these places, destroying game immersion completely. (I also plan on playing Tales of Legendia on PCSX2, but it doesn't have Wide Screen patch available, so can't tell if it is any good. Sorry for a small off topic.)

I've cleared Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut Stan scenario with Interlacing set to Automatic (Default) so menus and characters were kinda blurry, but yesterday I've discovered No interlacing hacks and I'm very impressed of how crispy it is now! Game has no shaking anywhere thanks to KrossX and asasega who kindly provided No interlacing patch codes. I will definitely clear this game again with Lion scenario next! As a thank you I decided to add my little something for this wonderful community by writing this post.

PS. What game did DESTRUIDOR test? Really this one? No visible improvements in custom resolutions? That cannot be. This game is indeed a remake of PS1 game, which he wrote correctly, but that means it was remade for PS2 not ported to it. New 3D backgrounds and objects in towns, dungeons look amazing. World Map is full 3D with Stan in 3D also. Screenshots provided by DESTRUIDOR look unfamilliar to me. Who and where is that pink haired character? Never seen him for my 65 hours of playthrough.  

Bugs:
None noticed.

Of course spoilers! It's live streamed with OBS, downscaled to 1080p (720p at first few streams). A little blurry because I've played the whole game with interlacing on Automatic. Not too exciting to watch, but I had fun!
