I find the pause being in the middle of the screen more annoying than anything. Great work though, just hope someone makes a run without the pause box being there the whole time =/.
So, no luck manipulation?

It's purpose is 3-fold.
1. Luck manipulation to force the fight to go exactly as I want it.
2. Stops the in-game clock
3. During certain fights I can force my charactors to attack just a little bit quicker and thereby killing off the boss before it's next attack.
The two fights that come to mind where number 3 saved a load of frames was the edward fight and Milon. You'll notice that if you tried playing the movie before the last twin is selected that Milon gets another attack before they would cast Flare. So the pausing has saved an innumerable amount of frames.
For the AVI, I'm looking into trying to find out what causes the volume to change and trying to make a cheat code that will hopefully not affect the gameplay at all and will make the AVI a little better at least.

I like Mean Bean machine and use to play it a lot when i was younger. This was excellently done, only level 11 or 12 I think looked like it might be improvable. I didnt' fast forward cause I found it fun to see how the combo's were building up and would try to guess how it would come down. I was mostly wrong everytime =P
Yes vote.
Well done sir.

Milon now complete. Just barely under 1 minute from fade-in to fade-out. Will move onto Milon-Z within the next week. I suspect he will be easier than Milon.

This isn't tool-assisted entertaining videos. This is tool-assisted Super Play movies.
That is what it is called but as you can plainly see here http://tasvideos.org/WhyAndHow.html
The goals are as these:
1. Our primary goals are to create art and provide entertainment.
2. Interesting (not slow, boring, or repetitive)
3. Surprising (does the unexpected)
4. Skillful (handles awkward situations efficiently and creatively)
Note: This does not refer to playing skill.
5. Although most of our movies intend to play games as fast as possible (tool-assisted speedruns, if you will), with respect to art, our main goal is to create movies that are beautiful to watch.
This movie follows the criteria and follows the goals of the site just fine. No more complaining.

1. Who cares if it's a pride movie or not, does it make any bit of difference.
2. People enjoyed the movie, do you want it unpublished so that people will forget about the movie and perhaps never enjoy it?
3. Why are you so adamant about labeling this as a pride movie?
4. I personally didn't care for the movie, but am still defending it.
5. I like strawberries

To answer your first question, this is because you'll notice that after leaving Kaipo Cecil starts out standing south of Kaipo. Moving in the hoverboat is faster than walking to it =)
To answer your second question, yes, the experience gained is set by the enemy that dies, and is then distributed to the different living charactors.

This would be unacceptable. The goal of the site is to play and beat the games as fast as they can by playing the game how it was released. Using bugs and glitches that the programmers didn't catch. This is a bug that is inherent in the games programming and thus is part of the game speedrunning on console or otherwise. Besides, not being able to crit makes it a little less complicated in some aspects, but of course more tiresome in other ways.

It's manipulatable, however, if you read on the previous page of the thread, there's a bug that makes it impossible to crit with certain charactors after certain events. So from then on it's just about finding out the maximum damage possible with certain attacks, and calculating the quickest possible kill and then manipulating the damage needed.

Quick Updates coming lately =)
I'm betting some of you are glad to see it.
This WIP goes almost up to Mt Ordeals, currently testing the best save/reset I can get from here. Where I saved is 2 fights away from the base of Mt Ordeals, so I have quite a large amount of testing to find the best I can get.

MomBomb is dead. This will probably be the final WIP for MomBomb, however I've said that to myself in the past and seem to contradict that and figure something out. However, this attempt was about #11 or so which is usually around the number when I finalize a boss. So hopefully (and doubtfully) there isn't anything else I can do for MomBomb and will be able to move on to Fabul.

p.s. Broke 50,000 rerecords while doing this boss

Actually the SDA run uses the same path, perhaps you're refering to the old run?

Yay, I'm back to playing FF2 =D.
I've improved on the old Antlion WIP by 318 frames. I'm now working on the Yang fight and the MomBomb fight. At about 24 1/2 minutes in the Yang fight in-game time, and about 32 1/2 movie time.
Note: Found this out quite a bit too late, but I could have saved 7 frames if I had picked up the ether in Kaipo AFTER saving Rosa instead of before. Because it's 7 extra frames to move the cursor to the sandruby. I'd fix it, but that would mean redoing 60k frames because this game is quite unhexable.
Edit Fixed WIP:

Boring. Not by any fault of the TASer, but the game itself is just awful. The bosses were so contrived. There wasn't any real speed to the game. The only thing I liked was the after input finished and it says "Restaurant Eaten - The End." Silly to name the restaurant Eaten =)
No Vote.

Can you explain how you could save time in 6-8? That level is extremely straight-lined, especially the helicopter part.
Voting yes, of course.
Minor Optimizations mostly, watching my speed in memory helped ensure that I kept the best speed possible. Also, luck manipulation plays a role as always.
