I'm so glad this is finally being done. Kiss

The questions would be just like character generation in PC RPGs. I'm just guessing until I ask Mike, but I think that it doesn't get counted for time.


Color me stupid, but are you doing any% or 100% right now? And what are you doing for 100%? World, all characters (minus Galf), all maps?

Any% right now.

I'm still in the route planning phase for 100%. I've been over probably 20 different possible routes and still haven't come up with anything concrete. The wall I keep running in to is recruiting Deneb and the ensuing quest to re-raise my reputation. I feel like I'm close to a good route, but I won't know until I can do some testing.

As for what 100% will be: All maps, All characters recruited (save for Galf) and the World Ending.

Any% run is done. Rough clear time is 1:38 or so. No second powerlevelling session was needed - just a few fights here and there to keep me from lagging too far behind. In all honesty I think it could be done at slightly lower levels since Tarot Cards were doing more damage than I was anticipating at that level. Just need to get the audio commentary finished up and it'll be ready to submit (although I've been playing it back and it sounds kind of monotonous...I'm not sure if I'm gonna even bother, but there's so many points where the viewer will just be staring at the map waiting for my units to cross it...)

Still trying to find a good route for 100%. I need to test some things out before I can proceed.

EDIT: Audio commentary doesn't sound as monotonous as I originally thought. I actually seem to always sound annoyed  Lips Sealed

100% runs=great to watch
Massive congrats on the any% completion and the commentary---can't wait to watch it.  The current highwater mark, at least since I noticed runs popping up with it, is the San Andreas commentary---IMO.  Considering it was awesome just because it.."was", not to mention being highly educational and informative, I've no doubt I'll merrily listen along to yours.

Though since I never could get much traction in Ogre Battle, maybe I'll watch it without at first or something so I can actually see how the music turned out beyond the early stages.  Lips Sealed

You can pretty clearly hear the music even during my commentary...I had the TV turned up loud enough so it came through, but not over my voice.

OK, so I have some good news, some bad news, and some more good news.

Good news: I've finally fleshed out a route for 100%. I don't see a lot in terms of improvement in terms of route or party composition.

Bad news: Thanks to planning the 100% route, I've learned quite a few things that I didn't know before that could have been applied to the any% run. Thus I'm scrapping my current any% run and will redo it before starting on the 100% run.

More good news: The any% run will be faster and more optimized thanks to what I learned planning the 100% run.

Page 2!? Not any more...

I just finished v2.0 of the any% run...with an improvement of about 30 minutes! I knew v1.0 wasn't fully optimized, but some of the things I applied to this one really did pay off in the end.

Just need to do the Audio Commentary and it'll be submitted.

What's worse...I think I may be able to get it under an hour (and once again scrap the run in favor of redoing it)

Also, I think I came up with a slightly better route and party composition for 100% as well.


There's just too many variables in this damn game  Undecided

If there's still that much time left to save, go for it.

Did you ever post your routes?

Not for 100%, but that's because I keep finding ways to improve on it  Undecided

maybe liberating every city/temple should be part of the 100% run? That could be fun (Antanjyl, ftw)

No harm in submitting the any% run and then trying to improve it. :-)
