I noticed that the battle transition fade-in screens were not emulated correctly. It should fade to black, then to the battle, but in PCSX2 1.2.0 (64-bit build, vanilla), the screen itself goes blurry, much like when you enter the menu.
Think of it as more of a motion blur effect, framebuffer effect. In fact, I don't know if GSdx plugins ever emulated the effect properly.
This is how the effect should look, as captured on PS2 hardware:

Battle blur transition seen at the 36 second mark
This is how the effect looks like on PCSX2 1.2.0/1.2.1:
-----------------------------------------------------
When you hear the *whoosh* sound (and the fade out) the screen turns kinda blurry, but nowhere near as how it should look on PCSX2. I seem to recall earlier versions getting this effect right, but I could be wrong.

Addendum: Based off what was tested in software mode, the issue has been pinpointed to the hardware rendering on the GPU plugin as posted here (where I erroneously posted a thread in for some reason, sorry about that). http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Grandia-3...#pid388018
Not sure why I didn't post here first, maybe I thought it was a big waste of time to report something so trivial and unimportant so I didn't feel it would be right, I don't know. Still, I felt the need to bring this to your guys' attention.
Edit: And yeah, software mode works fine with these effects and looking at native res makes my eyes bleed
