Could it be related to this? It's not your case because you say that your TV is 4k. However, the result sounds similar so perhaps something related to that setting is your answer.
I'm playing it with the Steam controller. Work wonders for using the no encounter mode, speed it up, etc, without neither pausing nor using the keyboard.

Running it on a 980Ti. Not very far yet, but it's been running fine; no stuttering or frame drops. 1080P with DSR at 4.0 in Nvidia control panel (effectively 4K), everything maxed ingame. Looks as stunning as any game from 2001 ever has. I had to remap the controller, because using A for "accept" and B for "cancel" on an Xbox controller feels remarkably awkward. And the game defaulted to boot in Japanese so I couldn't figure out anything until I exited completely and changed the options that I hadn't even seen on the launcher. But minor quibbles aside, this is looking like a really great port.
Yep, this and FFIX and fantastic on the steam controller.

Expected, but that 30fps lock means this will be at best a sale purchase.
When will they learn.
When will they learn.
Im getting some slight stutters that i cant seem to get rid of. I mean its mostly smooth but every now and then during gameplay you can tell the fps drops slightly.
Im running 6700k with 980ti so its clearly not the hardware. I tried both adaptive and maximum performance in NV CP and no difference between the two. Maybe people just arent as sensitive as i am to the stutters that claim they arent having issues. IQ is very clean though considering how old the game is.

Where is the option located? My Google-Fu is falling short.
Ah, cheers.
As has been said constantly, its a game from 15 years ago with all of the engine baggage of that time, there's nothing to be done about it. It is really such a big deal to be acting like its some major affront to one's refined sensibilities?

Yeah I honestly don't get it either. It's not like gameplay will be affected at all since it's a turn based game. It will play at a locked 30fps, many games do, and it's still the best possible version of the game.

The game is made to be 30 FPS.
I wonder if any if you ever had to play a good old PAL game. THAT was a problem.

Yeah, it seems some people don't remember that when this game came out originally, even the top of the line mainstream PC games had their engines tied to specific framerates (Typically 60 though.)
No, really. Go ahead, buy Deus Ex on Steam, do not put any mods on it, and play it. The game will run at roughly a few thousand frames per second on modern hardware and will be playing at L-L-L-L-L-LUDICROUS SPEEEEED. So far to my knowledge, the only fix so far has been capping the game's framerate or forcing your CPU to underclock when playing. Same for a lot of other games from the era like CS 1.6 or Half Life (If you're playing the Pre-Steam versions, that is. They ended up getting fixed for unlocked framerates later down the line). There were a few here and there, like Halo 1 (Though you wouldn't really be able to tell since its animation system worked like claymation, with every animation being a series of poses instantly clicked between at 30 animation frames per second, rather than being true animations) or Quake 3, but IIRC it wasn't until around Half Life 2 and Far Cry's releases that this finally began to change.
It doesn't matter what it's made for. It's a PC game in 2016, it shouldn't be locked to 30fps. The fact that it's 60fps on PCSX2 just proves that logic isn't tied to framerate.
That said I own it and have been playing all day, but I wish it wasn't 30fps.
Its not 60fps on PCSX2.
Jesus, this attitude is really annoying, and i keep seeing it. Just play the games guys
What it does show is that there are people who thought they were playing emulated 60fps and were fine with it.
Interesting.
In the realms of technical performance, what settings is anybody on an equivalent to me running at:
i5 3550k
Nvid 660 2GB
8GB Ram
SSD
It was running properly turd last night on High, which I did not expect. However, I always have to clean boot before playing FFXIII, so I may give it a try in that situation.

we(or atleast i) do want to hear about technical stuff, just not whining about something as irrelevant as the 60fps checkbox that most likely will not be implemented into this game to begin with because of the engine.
i want to see what GPU's can hit the highest resolutions with the best AA, not about how some person isn't going to buy the game because of 60fps

So i'm not only one who experience slight stutter =) i5-3570, gtx 970, win10 + 8gb ram. But game installed on HDD (SSD is already full with Shadow of Mordor), maybe ssd will help..

when will they learn how much fps matters in a turn based RPG!

I think you don't really get it. It's not locked at 30 FPS, it IS a game made to run at 30 FPS. Framerates in PCSX2 in many games report 60 when they're actually running at 30.
Taken directly from the PCSX2 forum:
So I repeat: it's a 30 FPS lock, the game IS made to run at 30 FPS.
And it is a PC port of a PS2 game from 2001, in 2016, yes
Still a PS2 game at heart.I have an hd6450,it's not integrated but it's really cheap,coupled with a 2008 amd dual core cpu 2,4 ghz and the game runs mostly 30fps with some dips to 25 fps here and there.
Mid graphics settings and resolution to 1366x768. You should be able to play it with lower or similar settings.
I have i5-4670K with Intel® HD Graphics 4600, out of curiosity I tested it and it seems pretty decent and can run the game at these settings at a fairly solid 1080p/30.
Your 5300 is significantly weaker part for sure, but it's hard to say. I suppose it depends what kind of settings you want. Your laptop/notebook likely has a lower resolution so that would help of course.
Personally probably wouldn't risk it unless someone else has something closer to what you have.
I have an older laptop I'm going to test the game in, assuming I can resurrect the laptop first. I'll chime back in if there's anything to report on that end.

Glad you posted. I'm considering playing this on my htpc in the living room. It has an AMD A10 7850K.
I put 7 hours into it the day it came out, but sorry that complaining about a poor framerate hurts your feelings.
If you can't handle people complaining about 30fps locks on PC games, what the fuck are you doing in a PC performance thread on NeoGAF? I'm sure the Final Fantasy subreddit is talking about how amazing 30fps feels in this game.

Yeah, no.
Not an excuse to whine about the framerate of a 15 year old engine. Stop shitting up the thread.

So the DPI scaling thing is the only big issue with DSR on this?
I might pick up this port after all. I bet FFX-2 is GORGEOUS downsampled.

I would assume that 8xMSAA is the biggest resource hog, so you might try turning that down or disabling it entirely (the game also has SMAA running over the top). You might try turning shadows down off of the max setting. Ambient occlusion could also be an issue. Try lowering those to medium and see if it helps.

Fix for DSR ?

From the OP:
Fix overscan when using a higher-than-native resolution: Disable DPI scaling. Navigate to Steam\SteamApps\common\FINAL FANTASY FFX&FFX-2 HD Remaster, right-click on FFX.exe/FFX2.exe, select "Properties", switch to the "Compatibility" tab and tick "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". (Credit to Parsnip.)

thanks, will try that out.

The disabling over scan did indeed worked for me. 4k 30fps.
