Well... that sucks. I can't see any good reasoning for that. Oh well. At least you can still pick up some Lores from the Veldt, right?
I think the reasoning for it is that the monsters on the Veldt are significantly weaker than their normal counterparts oustdie.
The only enemies that appear on the Veldt are ones that you've already fought elsewhere.
Sort of a necro post here, figured this would be the best place asking for this. Currently playing through this game again and I'm looking for some memory adresses, especially the adress which contains the health for most of the bosses.
It seems that your description of a 100% run would only count in the World of Ruins.
Dunno if I'm really clear. I need to drink more.
The idea was to kill off my family to avoid lost time to them getting sick and other inconvenient things.
Okay, here's the scoop: while experimenting with the sketch bug on a v1.0 ROM, I ended up finding a major glitch - when one character attacks with the Goggles equipped as a weapon while another one opens his/her Magic menu, the magic and item menus can get mixed up. This results in battle-usable items casting spells, usually desperation attacks, Interceptor's attacks, or enemy-only spells. I made a short video of this glitch in action: Being able to use desperation attacks at any time (and any number of times) during a battle has the potential to speed up much of the WoB. Also, if you use an X-Potion in the glitched Magic/Item menu, it will use BabaBreath, a nice OHKO against anything. And since it doesn't actually consume items, you can BabaBreath over and over again with just one X-Potion. There's just one problem: this requires the Sketch Glitch to pull off, and by that time, you have Joker Doom and other such OHKOs that require far less setup time. That's when I realized that this would be perfect for a run of the Japanese version, since you can use the "equip anything" bug to weaponize your goggles once you reach South Figaro. The only problem is that the goggles don't seem to have the same effect in the Japanese version as they do in the US version. If there's anyone here who can potentially help figure out how/why the goggles glitch works, why it doesn't work in the JP version, and if there's any way to make it work there, I'd really appreciate the help. I feel like I'm on the cusp of a major time-saving glitch, but my skill at RAM watching and such just isn't good enough to figure out how this works (or doesn't) by myself. I can provide savestates if it will help with the search.
For your reference, the TAS with sketch bug was completed by Catastrophe. -> http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=103013#103013 Your discovery may improve the run but I’m not familiar with sketch bug. So I won’t make a new run.

Something odd I found, and figured some of the people here may be interested in. If you have Gogo mimic a 7-7-bar joker doom you used to kill the first tier of the final battle, going into the second tier, you don't get the normal "blank" joker doom. Instead, he casts another doom, but it only hits three of the four parts of tier 2, leaving the tiger guy alive. Then, you can mimic it again to get the 0 target cast, and a third time to actually kill the last part of the tier. Seems a bit weird, my guess is that for some reason the game just slides 3/4's of tier 2 into the positions of the first tier, so when the game checks to see if they're dead as you mimic the joker-doom, it finds new, doom-able targets. (If I understand MasterZED's slot faq correctly, and I am just making this up.) Has anyone here ever seen this? I tried it a few times, and it consistently happens, but other people confirming it isn't some anomaly on my emulator would make me feel a bit less confused as to what's happening, at least. A quick edit: If you kill a part of the first tier (break the lower arm), then joker-doom, you don't get all 3 parts doomed on the second tier when you mimic, so I think my theory above is right.
