for some reason, the drop rate drops (!!) when I heal. After 10 tries, Knight still hasn't given me my fire stone. I will go up to 30; if it doesn't work, too bad

I restarted after saving Midia. I don't need to shop for items (I will get them half price in Hagubo) and I need to raise my magic level some more. Those birds are worth a lot

I was mildly disappointed to not see Raja in the final battle using Ataraxia to refresh Chaz's TP for more uses of Shadwblade'd Tsu, but oh well.
unfortunately, the Raja run was longer. Just for the resurection, it took me 3 rounds to get everyone standing. PLus, he»'s not that useful for attack in the fight.

a first test run. I just saved Midia. few comments
- there is an incredible frame lag, making it hard to know when to press a button
- battles seem unavoidable, but they are easy to escape from AND control the enemies in the battle/if it's a first strike
- stats are easy to max out

yeah, I noticed. Also, I don't think I will need to bank my money. It's too much of a detour, and what I get inside Auria is sufficient
Also, to win against Talon, I think I will harvest some C. Stones. They do 2x the damage of the E. Key. PLus, I will gain some experience. On the test run, I only did 11-12 damage with attak...

i will be able to get the gold bar (by withdrawing my money before confronting the goblin) without the faeries!! I still have to figure if I need ALL the money I can find in Auria for defensive gears, though
I will start back to know if I need this extra level against the frog

i think I will use my stones against gremlin; my attack should be high enough to kill talon quickly. as for the knight : maybe.
right now, I'm testing what it takes to get 65k for the gold bar in auria. with the M drop, I might be able to skip the faeries

i'm about to get bo.
- I might retry level 1 against the frog but with equipment
- adjusting strength was worthwile; i didn't need the e. key against the wizard. however, it appears that getting the bolt stone is too hard...
- I will deposit my money in tuntar; deathwarp costs about 1/3 of the money
- M. drop (inside karma tower) are worth 4500 each.

raising a level is a big plus. I restarted and tested it : even in the back row, the weakest attack from the frog do 8 damage. Also, my critical attacks are more critical. Finally, the equipment I get does seem necessary, especially solo
However, attack power does indeed seem unaffected by rows

(EDIT) And I agree with Dromiceius - in my opinion (mostly formed from watching Something Awful's Let's Plays), in a longer video, you definitely want 2 commentators. It makes it a lot easier to come up with stuff to say, it seems like!
Just this week I recorded one for the run this would obsolete and I'd say I managed to do pretty well! My babbling skills are amazing. I sent that one to janus for review a couple days ago.
But yes, if janus wanted to do a two-person commentary over Skype that would be awesome.
thanks for the offer, but I'm gonna pass. English is not my first language. Plus, I chose Janus as an ID for a good reason :P

unless someone has a revolutionnary idea, this would be my final publication. The Demi run is much faster
1) I need less macros
2) I don't need the mahlay dagger
3) resurecting people against PD3 is much faster
in fact, it's about 3k frames faster than the previous Demi test. in all, it's 26k frames faster that the first run.

Interesting that, against Le-Vars, you use Saner on the group but never Shift on Chaz. If all you're doing is manipulating him to do a direct attack to Rune for low damage then the Saner doesn't seem to be useful.
in fact, it is. rune is slower than de-vars. getting his defendeing BEFORE de-vars attacks requires too much manipulation. plus, when he does defend, chaz misses.

PD3 explodes 215 frames earlier, but it's still slower than with Demi. This time, raja doesn't use all his miracles, and he's too slow to use them agaisnt PD 3. using shift on chaz did help, thouhg. other suggestions?
