Ok.. I wanted to make a test run.. So I started it. Was supposed to get to the first dungeon. But it desynced and ran into an enemy in some mysterious way. Would be great if you other guys could verify if this is true when you watch the run as well. http://highness.no-ip.com/PhantasyStar2(REV02)(UE)[!].rar Note that the menus showing up are for manipulating away enemies.

Ok.. Won't it be better to just have four people in the party then? Rolf, Hugh, Kain and Amy. I think Amy will be great as an item user/healer, even though she's pretty weak. I think we should drop the Nei rumor and move forward to a good solution to the rest of the game. The only non-linear thing would be in which order to bring down the dams right? Red, Yellow, Green, Blue if I remember correctly. Also.. Should I take detours in dungeons in order to get new armour/wepaons? Shortest routs should be traced on the excisting maps that are out there. About leveling.. I think the best place will be Uzo Island in search for the leaf. I reckon those enemies bring home alot of XP. Atleast thats the place I used to level when I played on console. Outside the last town you enter on Mota is a good place as well. Not sure how much XP robots brings back. But with Kain that should be an easy task anyways. Kain is essential against robots. Also I think he can be used in Noah to kill those enemies.

Yeah. I think it's only rumors that you can keep Nei afterwards. I won't be needing the visiphone in this run. Hehe. First couple of times I completed the game I didn't even know about it. :D I think stealing is out of the question because it will require so much backtracking. Of course there is Hinas and Ryuka which is a MUST in this game if you wanna backtrack fast. About using equipments as magics. I had forgotten about that. Can't remember if there was a gear strong enough though. I think most of em' casted GiZan or something like that.

I was thinking of starting with this game slightly. Haven't played it in a while so every good information about it is welcomed. I basicly know what to do in the game. But I don't know what I could skip if possible. It's a pretty linear game. Also it would be good to talk about level building etc and what setup of people to use. I've heard there's a glitch that allows Nei to stay in the party even after beating Nei first. If anyone could comfirm this it would be great. Also.. What weapons would be best to get? Ceramic knives are the best in a long time in the game. But they cost a fair ammount of money that early in the game. Another thing to talk about would be avading hits from enemies. Otherwise I could also concider running away from many battles, but that ain't good for level building. :D Anyways.. Post your thoughts about this.

Thats weird Foda. I tried that rom as well and could not watch till the end. Anyways. I will vote NO on this as well. It's not stylish enough, misses alot of punches etc. Better luck in next version! ;) Personally I think you should use punches in the level that scrolls downwards instead of using that hooverboard -projectile stuff where you grabs the roof or the edges and fires it away. You don't get score doing that. And I think it looks cooler if you only beat them all up regular.

There has recently been alot of activity concering anti-piracy here in Sweden. People shows their appreciation towards APB (Antipiratbyrån), or the Anti-Piracy Bureau if translated. Anyways. Today I was sent a funny Tintin comic where they had re-written the dialogues. This picture if in Swedish, but be my guest to read it if you feel like. :) Another notice is that the chief's name of APB is Henrik Pontén. Which makes this a bit funnier to know. ;) Here's the url anyways. Enjoy! http://highness.no-ip.com/apb3.png

What rom did you guys use anyways? So far these are the only ones I found. Battletoads - Battlemaniacs (E) Battletoads - Battlemaniacs (J) Battletoads - Battlemaniacs (US)(26454) Battletoads - Battlemaniacs (US)(6526) 26454 was the one that I could watch longest. It desynced in the scooter level where you have to jump over those stone blocks.

Coulden't you just start a new record with your author info included and then copy/paste the hex code from the current file to the new one?

Heh.. I was about to ask for a 100% run, when it came to mind how large this game is and how many items etc there are. However a run with all characters would be nice as well to get the full ending. :) That would be for another run of course.

Does the flash stopper stop the spawning of those large fishes blocking the way in bubble man's stage? Those that spit out shrimps. If so that could be useful since your falling slower in the water right?

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ I was wondering if it would be an easy task to implant recording/re-recording in this program. Would be awesome since then we can start to run PC games. :)

Err.. 15 minutes is when he gets back to the ship. Means that the game only has been running for ~15min or something like that. And thats FAST I think.
