Yes, that wall is in the big list-o-mistakes. As long as we can make such a list, the next time someone makes this movie it'll not have them. I have some unexpected free time oday and tomorrow which I'll use to do laundry and play Rockman X Command Mission. But I'll try to work up until Sandworm in FF5 as well, which will include quite a few things. I'm stopping right after I kill the Sandworm though, as I don't want to figure out the quickest route through the desert right now (anyone who knows it and the quickest route through the Lonka ruins is welcome to post it or continue the movie past there to demonstrate). So that movie should be up by sometime tomorrow night.

If EXE2 is used the Japanese version should be done in order to exploit the Prism bugs.

Yes, and that takes under 20 minutes. What's your point?

So, 4 inches to the hand, 3 hands to the foot, 3 feet to the yard, 5½ yards to the rod, 4 rods to the chain, 10 chains to the furlong, 8 furlongs to the mile, 3 miles to the league.

12 inches to a foot. Units under inches are in powers of two (half inch, quarter inch, etc). Above foot there is yard (3 feet), mile (1760 yards)... the system makes no sense.

EDIT: just saw the new WIP. I like how you learnt Lv. 5 death. Everything worked exactly the way you planned it. :)
..after many, many rerecords. I had to do the whole battle 3 or 4 times because I couldn't find a frame that made both Death Claws work -and- have the Page 64 cast L5 Death, and even then I tested 20-30 frames for each battle before I got one that worked out correctly. Unfortunately, no amount of rerecording (delays before entering battle, that is) I could do could make Byblos use Magic Hammer on Butz instead of using Webs on Faris. If that had happened the fight would be about half as long. If there's absolutely anything I'd love for someone to be able to do it's to concentrate on those 2 or 3 seconds before Byblos and figure out how to make him do that... but this isn't a complete run so it's not important. But that's how the battle should go for the final version - he should use Magic Hammer on someone who's alive and isn't acting first, and the person acting first should have enough MP to use Death Claw.

I don't even know what fights you're talking about. Monsters in chests?

Lucky? I have no idea what you're talking about. Anyway, Mid is rescued at 69 minutes (and 2 seconds because I wasn't paying attention to the frame counter): http://www.geocities.com/boco_xlvii/ff5movie.zip Ifrit takes 4 actions (2 guards, 2 rods). Learning L5 Death (from the unavoidable battle) takes 5 (guard, Death Claw, fight, Death Claw, fight), then revive Faris + switch Jobs, Byblos goes down in three (guard-DeathClaw-fight).

I'm not too worried about stuff like this because this isn't a final version anyway.

This video is just a path with "optimal" strategies, so someone can later do it correctly with this proving that each strategy works and how to do it effectively. It looks nice, sure, but it's not a final version (initially because w1 stuff might affect w2 stuff &c, but now because there's EXP-gain mistakes and the like). I am right now doing the Ancient Library stuff, so expect a small 2-boss update within a few hours.

Currently I'm thinking of getting the sandbears during the unavoidable trip through the desert (after the battle with the worm), not by coming back later. Do Lamia need to be controlled in order to get 1000 Needles? Control would cost 60 AP. And anyway it would take 8 hits, not 7, to kill Archaeoavis (damage doesn't overflow from form to form; he take 1600, then transforms secretly). And anyway it takes 25 MP per cast, and MP is pretty rare. (but 4 casts can be replaced with 2 casts of Death Claw so it's not really that much). ..and yes, "level up until you can take the main attack of the Chimera" would take a long time, as it does like 500~1000 group damage last I checked. Currently the best idea I have for the cannons is many, many 雷神の術. It will take a long time compared to other bosses but not terribly long. Lightning Rods would be a more expensive alternative that might be workable, but buying them somewhere would also need to be factored in.

So what does this code unlock? Does it cause the 30 minute rule to be in effect from the beginning?

!Jump it is. (I never would have thought of that). Yeah, it seems the even-numbered forms aren't Heavy, so Death Claw should work fine. Sandbear + Sandbear + Sandbear + Death Claw + attack + L5 Death should do it, or one less Sandbear if it takes too long to catch it (IE fewer random battles with Sandbears in them during the cross-the-desert section) or if there's not enough MP for both spells (they take just over 20 each).

Forever from now because what's happened already is just a test run. I guess if I have time over the weekend I could do the Ancient Library (that part isn't in the current WIP, is it?). After that things get a little more complicated.. everything is easy until the cannons, which can die pretty quick to 雷神の術 but "pretty quick" means "very slow" compared to everything else. I have no idea how to handle ArchaeoAvis though. 6400 damage, then L5 Death.. which means one party member must be Blue Mage. If the other three are Monster Trainers, then three of the earlier forms can die to Sandbears.. but what about the 4th? that would mean 1600 damage to deal with no weaknesses to exploit and no large-damage spells or items to use. Any ideas? (current plan: Go to Ancient Library Learn L5 Death Kill Ifrit (2x Ice Rod) Kill Byblos (Death Claw + attack) Return to Karnak, get Fire Ship Go to south islands to learn Black Shock Sink the Fire Ship Get the Black Chokobo Go to Lix to buy ~~の術 Return to Ancient Library Go to Desert, kill sandworm (3x 水遁の術) (possibly catch Sandbears here) Go to Lonka Go to Catapult, kill clayclaw (2x 雷神の術) Return to Lonka Return to Tycoon Meteor Kill Adamantoise (L5 death) etc) Edit: Euh, also a problem.. how to avoid Titan's final attack? Playing through normally made me realise that you need Levitate (which you get in the second world) or you need to be levelled into the teens. So you can Control an enemy to get the Float status (which means spending 60 AP on Control I believe, and that's slow) or finding some kind of earth absorb, alternate Float, or power levelling somewhere.

*applause* My only criticism is that I think it would have been much better to have gotten the Hadoken. It would've taken about 2 more minutes and it's similar enough to the Ryuken that the same input will trigger both moves. But you've long past the point where it would be timely to grab it, so it's kind of a moot point.
? You need everything else to get it and there's been no opportunities to reenter any stages to get everything yet.

Tass is just another word for Vis, though Tass is much more valuable (at least that's the impression that I get maybe it's only because the timescale is so different). That aside, I think ore looking should be done in the "demo" side of my suggestion rather than the "infinite" side. Or ignore it, either works.

...I mentioned that in my second post here. You can also pull yourself up ledges, extend/release the grapple line, free look, etc., but those are less useful.

Jeez, it's surprisingly difficult to find ANY information on this game.
It was made in (very) small quantities. I've never seen a Japanese copy, and the one I own myself I had to import from Europe.
KaitouKid wrote:
Using the special attack doesn't seem to do much of anything to the first boss. The sword does a considerable amount, though. Of course, getting close enough to USE the sword on him (especially when he's lobbing fireballs) is pretty dangerous.
I don't know of how much use ninpou will be in a TAS, considering how long it takes to use VS how much damage it does. It might be more cost-efficient to use it when the bar isn't maxxed for the invincibility instead of the damage.

Swinging is much faster than walking.
Much, MUCH faster if you do it right. And combined with acrobatics there's a lot of cool stuff you can do while swinging. So, this will be on Hard of course, or maybe even Time Attack. What about rescuing - full rescue or minimalist?

Kenja is Sage. It only appears in 3 and 4, after that it's SE-JI. This game has lots of strange Job names.
