Absolutely amazing. Essentia is my new heroine. I can't wait to see the final product.

This is the first time a single-segment FF run has been done in general, is it not?

Yeah, I said it.

Did I call it or what? I knew you could avoid the Dinosaur Forest altogether. Wink

Everything's better with Magitek

Just finished watching the entire run to make sure it recorded correctly and everything. Like I said before, there were no big mistakes in it, but there was one part that really made me cringe because of bad luck: fish catching. I saved Cid, because it is almost always faster to do so, but I had terrible luck with the fish. I timed it, just to see how much longer it took: normally it takes around 2:10 to save Cid, but here it took 5:14...more than 3 minutes slower Cry

This time it was definitely slower than just letting him die; I took a chance, and it didn't pay off. However, it seems that I was lucky enough in other places (mainly in battles, which can take up a lot of time if I get unlucky), that it made up for the fish catching part. I'm not going to redo the run, anyway; you'll just have to bear through that part of the run when you watch it.

I'm typing up my comments right now, so hopefully this should go on the verifier list soon.

Hi! I'm andrewg!

Is it insanely long? Like >10 hours? Maybe I don't know this game well enough.

You mean the final time for the run? The final time is somewhere around 4:48, which beats the current segmented time by about 38 minutes.

I know I'm a little late on this, but really great job with the time. For a FF game, that's incredible, especially for a SS run. Can't wait to see further works of yours Smiley

Thanks everyone! I did it all for you! (Well, I had fun making it too. ;))

I mailed the tapes this past Thursday, so hopefully it won't be too long before it goes into verification.
