An improvement to Bloob's all temples TAS (2 hours 51 mins). I have a bunch of WIPs on YouTube.
Part 2: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15049243
For my youtube encode I have the quality of the audio set a bit too low. This isn't a problem in my other encodes, because I used a different audio codec with different settings.
I forgot to say row also should be optimized besides battle speed and battle mode. Front row triggers a faster action and back row enables you to run away faster. This will be done by frame calculations.
As for skipping the power up message of Twin Tania:
This is the true method: Point Twin Tania by selecting a physical attack. When the cursor is cancelled, use an instant death attack. You can skip the message.
no weapon/armor seeds are manipulated; they use a different RNG address that is unchangeable except for boss explosion (and then not even all, only the ones like Juwel Eater) and using any seed to get an item
... route itself, which even ordinary players do not take, not to mention speedrunner in Japan. For instance, I linked one of RTA’s URL, played by cello. If you watch it carefully, you will notice one of these improvements.
If I had made a run, I would have restarted as soon as I found Riese was useless.
At least I would have written every known improvement on the submission text.
To sum up, the problem is the differences in stance. While people think if the run, which is not perfect, obsolete the former run or the former run does not exist, it should be published, I do not think so. Published run should be the best and sophisticated at the time. My dual TAS of FF5 and FF6 obsoletes samurai goroh’s run at the time I defeated Merugine. If I make a run at that point, I will finish the run and be able to submit it. But I will not do that.
But it’s ridiculous to care these totally minor improvements in several hours run. While I care minor improvement, I want to watch completed run as soon as possible. I’ll vote yes if your run is kept in this quality.
And I accidentally hear nice music with cheat code.

In this case, it might not be faster because Hawk may not be able to attack before her landing.
The battle looks awesome. It’s very fast and Speed Down was skipped. 99% of the audience won’t mind.
BTW, at Astoria in my wip, Carlie should first talk to the man near the lake, second the old lady, and then go to the exit when she goes out of the inn at the first time because she need not stop. It may be faster if I manipulate the old lady’s movement. Anyway, I have to restart with Hawk as the 3rd character.

Sorry, part 2, 3, & 4 were glitched, IIRC.Luck does stuff in battle. That's right, it does. There are certain enemies (non bosses) that can use Magic and Level 2/3 techs. They'll either use them as Counter Attacks or just on a Whim. Now, with the Single Target attacks, the Higher Luck the character has, the less likely they are to be hit with a spell like that. ...... ...... Finally, Luck determines one other extra not quite as known factor. Sometimes, when your characters die, there's a small chance that your characters can actually be alive after taking a beating with 1 HP. The rate at which this happens is based off Luck. Its most noticed when your team is spammed with several level 3 techs, but somehow, one character survives w/ 1 HP (what's more, that character is someone like Carlie who has Low HP while the others was someone like Duran who has MUCH higher HP)
They don't come because they don't want to.
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.
-When a character leaves at Ghost Ship, his/her menu defaults to magic. If they don’t learn any magic, it defaults to item.
