In frame ~13150 of your updated movie, it seems that you can open the sack without untrapping. (And, if I remember correctly, sometimes chests are also not trapped) Does this help to save time?
Thanks. Yes, it can reduces 3~4frames. I'll skip untrapping in next version with other speedup ideas if I find.

I've found nice random seed with shortest character name '0'. This movie reduces about 4 seconds from previous version. Updated *.bk2 file is here: https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638290659697224281

Is there any reason you can't name the character "0" and save frames? I tried messing with it but you're skipping the animation afterwards which I wasn't pulling off in my quick 5 or 10 minute test.
Thanks for pointing out. Currently I have not been able to find good random seed to encounter "Sprite" and an "other type enemy" pair at first battle in town Sorpigal if using name "0". This pair is important to finish the battle in fastest time and get a drop item "Padded Armor" and GEMs to transport party to Dusk. Random seed patterns of this game are not so huge just 2^16, so I believe there is a good seed even if I choose shortest name "0". In this game, there is not so much chances getting random seeds on the town map (once per frame, 70~ times per frame on non town map). I will not take as many seeds because the merit of ruducing frames by choosing shortest name "0" is offset by waiting longer.

I'm using subframe input in this movie. TAStudio warned me about "Export .bk2, play it to the end and save it". So I followed that sequence, but it seems nothing is changed...? Please tell me if I got some mistakes.
