Holy shit, this was a lot longer than I thought it would be.
WIP Encode:Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5Part 6Part 7Part 8Part 9Full movie
Look forward to another set in maybe a year :P
EDIT: Here, why do you go around to the left? Wouldn't taking the ladder on the right be faster?
the right ladder doesn't go all the way up, actually.
also, I had to restart; I jsut noticed I don't need that Home door in Magic school. Also, I will check very carefully if my magic gets me more affinity
Awesome job on this so far. I'm really hoping that this will be finished and submitted at some point.
I just hope I'm not the only one wanting to see it. >.>

this is it! However, it still needs improvment
- I don't need that extra set of high bottles (hell, I only need one set of giga bottles!)
- I should only fight when enemy moves are minimized (first strike, mainly)
- I could try to get more cards
- I might not need all that equipment
- Midia doesn't need that much strength, and neither does Chenzi (I might aim at 5 instead of 6)
- Other suggestions?
Is the Fl dor you pick up in the water temple(?) around 190K really the most efficient path? Does the item shop you pass right by in the town sell them? You fight two extra fights here to grab it, that's a lot of frames. There's added XP, gold, and one card, but you obviously don't need the first two desperately since you run away from a fight around 204K.
Really worth it to kill that Whipper for low XP/Gold at 232K? I was expecting a drop, at least. Especially since the Elepsaur fight right after took about as long and seemed way more fruitful.
This Bronza at 329K seems like a good place for Chezni to pump up an affinity other than Fire, since 10 damage is pathetic compared to BoltS, and you're going to max out Fire soon, right?
Also in general, you should ALWAYS be trying to grab cards when you're in areas where you can. When a normal fight gives you +2 affinity and a card gives you +5, you're looking at a huge time versus power difference.
this one's tricky. In order to accomplish what I need, I need at leat 1300 gold (I sell the pro ball and the short boots). Not picking it up would mean more fighting inside the caves...
that's what I do. However, since I try to limit enemy action, I sometime skip such battles. Also, getting +5 can be really hard.
I'm liekly to do antoher run. I don't need high bottles, and Midia doesn't need all that magic
If so, you can still do a better job manipulating fights - there is a clear difference in reward with fights after this dungeon, I would think you could fight an extra Bronza and pick up enough to buy Magic with, especially if you manipulate a Pwr Bmg drop. (If you need more gold before this, there are plenty of fights that drop items too - that Whipper drops Mid ar.)
