Tales of Vesperia [BLJS10053]

Hi, I'm aware that each new release of RPCS3 seems to have caused regressions in Tales of Vesperia, but it's now to the point where I can't get past the main menu. I can see the intro video just fine, but then I start a new game and am immediately greeted by an illegible menu (bunch of broken lines where text should be). If I manage to fumble through the menus via the button prompts, I get to what seems like cutscenes, but all I got was a laggy bit of water before I could progress no further.

I've tried both OpenGL and Vulkan, with rpcs3 outright crashing on Vulkan. I've also tried both PPU interpreters and the recompiler, and switched from the default "load libvl2.sprx only" in the firmware settings, to "Automatically load required libraries".
