would anyone find annotations useful? (there are small plot skips + tricks that you may not notice)
I won't work on this run for a long time.

I'm wondering why the ether in elmyra's garden was so important to get. It seems like you have plenty of grenades and were never low on grenades, then aren't there some more valuable items you can get later like in the coastal towns that only take a couple extra seconds to get.
So deadly waste doesn't do a more powerful poison attack than bio1? Are you saying the item that cures fury can cause poison?
I'd rather just see a video showing the glitch, maybe it can be edited into the real video with an explanation, but I think the real run should just go for speed. Spending 4 seconds to gain a level for 3 characters could be worth it, just have to think of how it will let you go faster in the future. The faster time between actions should help at least, not sure what's going to be killing the bosses.
Don't the batteries cost 100 each, and you only need 2, maybe you have to buy 3, but that's only 300 (anyone know exactly how much you need I tried to research it but found nothing), When he enters the shop after getting the ether he has 41 grenades 3 ethers, 1 hi-potion, and 1 phoenix down. Had he only 2 ethers at that point he would still have 41 grenades and at least 3800 gill which is plenty to get the batteries and more grenades. After genova birth battle he has 9 extra grenades, so you would need about 800 more gill if not getting the ether, but also can't you buy more grenades in either the town after midgard or the town where you fight the sea monster? If so you could skip the shop after talking to elmyra if you had 253 more gill when you buy grenades the first time, since you'd need 3 extra grenades since after leaving midgard he has 33 and he buys 36 I believe before shinra, and instead use the shop in one of these towns, effectively costly very little extra time provided you can get an extra 253 gill without spending too much time; possibly less than it takes to get the ether. And the deadly waste, you actually do fight a zenene in the run with A B and R after leaving cloud, you could steal it here costing less than 5 seconds or so, plus maybe more time to equip the steal materia. Then you could skip the bio materia saving 2 seconds, or get it and sell it for 1500 later (as part of skipping the ether), and use deadly waste on the sea monster, which I'd think should save at least 2, maybe 5 attacks including the sea monster's so upwards of 10 seconds saving there, net gain 5 or more seconds.
