Notice how that run doesn't use math skill. And its way faster than the one that does. Could this mean that math skill is suboptimal in tas? Due to how powerful luck manipulation can be?

Thanks for posting that video ruadath. The countermagic strats are very nice to see. And Infamous, that run uses math skill starting at Germinas Peak.

Looks like this does work in bizhawk. Because I know how to use lua now, I'll be starting a run in this! Not to be submitted, but just for fun. I will also be playing on this hack: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/4611/ Which came out recently.

*Bump* Because the patch fixes the JP scroll glitch, and many others, this will be a glitchless run. Which makes a big difference. Anyone have any notes for a glitchless no math skill route? I might just use that decade old speed guide on gamefaqs with some adjustments. Like setting the options at the beginning and not buying potions. Because the patch reduces some JP cost, I might also look into getting better abilities. For an entertainment trade off, in those battles where it says: defeat X boss, where defeating that one enemy will end the battle, I will be taking out his minions as well. I'm also thinking about getting cloud too and using him from then. Getting all his abilities and his buster sword. In the assassins battle right before Zalera, I will also be stealing all the genji equipment and defeating every last one of them.

It's not a decade old, but a bit less than a year, from the FFT speedrunning discord. I think I can hotlink it? If not, there's the pastebin. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/258119958658023425/515731513447284736/Glitchless_No_Math_Release_11-23-18.rtf https://pastebin.com/0gpssX55

This is not a decade old? https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/197339-final-fantasy-tactics/faqs/11528 Anyways, thanks for the notes. I'm still planning on killing the bosses minions and stealing genji equipment from the assassins. And getting cloud too.

I was referring to the notes I linked, those are a bit under a year old. That gamefaqs guide is by now almost two decades old.

Looked up FFT TAS on youtube and found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SgaUb_sLl0 Sub 2h50m! Damn. I wonder what that was made on. Bizhawk or psxjin [EDIT] The cutscenes are sped up by 2x so thats why its so low.
