give me your eyes!!!

That's absolutely fine, as long as the items/abilities match then segments can be redone.

Tough luck but good job you found that. Again, can't wait!

darkwasabi: as your signature says you are going to run FF 9, 10 and maybe 10 2. why not 7?

Someone else said they're doing 7 in February. The guy who made the Speed FAQ for the game. I would if that guy decides not to do it though.

You're doing an 8-hour run on the monstrous FF8? The same FF8 with the ever-frustrating Junction system? The same one where spells and vitality boosts are determined by when and how much you can Draw from a foe?

Speedrunning it sub-12 hours seemed impossible until now. If I could offer a JPEG of me smiling or a sound bite of me clapping I would. I really hope this run sees the light of day, because I really wanna see someone owning this game in particular.

Oh damn. I hardly get to play myself anymore so many games are runned, and now you come and make a days' worth of video material.

But congratulations for crushing the believed optimum that badly!

Doing? He already did it. Darkwasabi, the segment will have to match up with the time that you originally logged for that segment, I.E. if this segment is this and that, it will have to start at the same time the prior segment was logged, and end at the same time the segment after records the time as. Items, spells and experience should be the same if possible. I imagine since it's 22 segments and you're missing 16 that you already have ENC-NONE so the experience and spells shouldn't be too much of an issue. Just getting the time to line up would be a pain though.

The time is easy, but there is a forced battle in this part and forced experience. I just finished the segment, items and time is the same, but the experience I got was different. Not enough to affect anything at all, just different. Would this be alright? Because I can't stand to think that I have to redo all the rest, just because of a little experience that affects nothing... Please, say it ain't so...

FF8 & FF12.. Long awaited runs.

Rough guestimate on release date for all us FF'ers to download?

Don't know. I've contacted Radix. He said there are other runs in queue and that I have to wait.

I really need to know if that segment will be alright though.

PwNzRd!

I hope so. Besides, as far as runs go, this should be higher priority in the queue.

Speedruns 4-ever...

Thanks for the support everyone. Really, I wouldn't have done this without it. Grin

MGS for PS1 forever.

Even though I'm looking forward to this as much as any FF fan is, there should be no higher-priority stuff. Of course, one would assume that the first Twilight Princess run will go up as soon as possible no matter what other runs are in the queue.

100% runs=great to watch

Heh, well I think we can all just relax a bit in the mean time and enjoy whatever else comes outta the woodwork. IIRC there was some deal about several people sending several things either yesterday or next monday....so we should all be nice and comfortable when this run does find its way up.

Cheers again to the fine run time and commitment of time and effort to this game.

I really like Final Fantasy, Zelda and Tony Hawk

Why don't you download it on archive.org?
I reeeeeeeaaaaaally want to see it.
And if your upload speed is too slow I would upload it for you.

Of yourse I mean UPLOAD on archive.org. Wink

King of hearts

I'd rather have it on SDA. I have a good upload speed and I also gave it to two friends to help seed. Besides, I need to upload it to you before you can upload to archive, that kinda defeats the purpose. Thanks anyway for the offer.

Sorry that I keep replying with the same question. But is the different experience thing ok? As I've said, it changes nothing in the run, it's just different. I can't continue with other things because this keeps bugging me. I really need to know.

Sleeping Terror

Depends. Why is it different than when you first did the run? Is it enough that it would change your level in that or a later segment?

Edit: Ah, you already said it wasn't enough to affect anything. It'll probably be fine, then. But I'm curious why you can't get it to match up.

Dark

2006-01-04 01:01:02 am

In FF VIII The experience point is really special if we can say it like that. It's all depends on how you done your battle, the more you attack, the more you gain or something. I don't really know myself what make them change, but I know you never gained same experience points in similar battle.

That's weird... I used to level at the T-Rex in Balamb, and IIRC I always got exactly the same amount of exp, no matter how the fight went.

I may be wrong though... it's been a long time, and I've never touched it since.

Eternal Understudy

EXP has nothing to do with the length of the fight. It depends on the LV of the enemy. THe game has been out for 8 years and people are still wondering about that? Roll Eyes
