Megami Ibunroku Persona is a well loved start to a game, selling 200k copies in Japan on its first week. It started a cult series that has now blown up into the stratosphere of fame.
Revelations: Persona is the scuffed bastard offspring of that game. It is generally faster over the japanese due to less textboxes (i have not fully tested this becuse its still alot of them) and lowered enounter rate (though this might prove moot.) So what's fun about TASing a 7 to 8 hour rta run, good question.
i dunno
I'm in the early stages, so alot is gonna expand once I find the ideal persona fusion and fight count, (more on that later.)
RUN STRATS:
Right now, it's just the rta strats. There isn't any major glitches I can find, (might be on the japanese side of the internet but man I do not know how to read.)
SMOL STRATS:
The biggest is that you are able to bump into walls, to avoid encounters. As seen in the second video (my first attempt before switching bios into the reccommended ones), which only needs to do one bump to finish the first hospital dungeon.
Textboxes are drawn with character each frame, so the best time to press x is one frame before the text box is fully drawn, which is usually the second last letter. (Though some of them seems to have a space at the end, meaning some of them doesn't hold up to the usual trick, however it is just moving the press one frame forward.)
THEORIES:
The big one if there is no major glitches found, is that you only have required 8 fights in total (all boss fights), however these boss will quickly outgrow you in levels. Either we are able to cheese all of the fights or finding an ideal fight amount to have enough xp for the finish.
I'm testing cutscenes transitions into gameplay, if I find a way to forcefully get into gameplay, alot of stuff might be skipped (though this might just prove moot if no strat or glitch is found)
also there is a debug mode in this game so it will be fun trying to mess around with that to theory craft n stuff

where the game is up to now, no real big strats or deviating from the opening minutes of the rta run.
