If you watched the previous one, there's no need to watch this one. I'm basically just doing commentaries as people asked for them but the movie has been sitting on my Desktop for ages. The differences are minor. I did the mining mini-game and the find the right Nero brother in Alexandria. Corrected the mistake in Disc 3 when Zidane wakes up that saves 8 seconds. Slightly different strategies against bosses (using Quina Add Status to put them to Sleep which saves a lot of time). Fighting Optional Bosses way later when we're stronger. Using Friendly Yan to grind AP. Used Save and Load manipulation for Tetra Master RNG. This brought down the number of games to 108 for a perfect deck instead of 184 ! And reached Perfect Stats for the Ogre and Gargant Card which were wrong. I decided against 99 of each item as that's what prevented me from finishing the last TAS. It would involve a lot of Chocobo Hot N Cold as it's the fastest way to make money (and is required for 99 Protect Ring). Considering it takes me around 15 minutes to TAS one game and I would need a couple hundreds you can see why. But I could still go for it if somebody is motivated to write a good bot doing it by itself.

Thanks for the update, the tetra master improvement is certainly impressive! And I do see why you would skip that money grind, that sounds awful.

Just for fun, I gave myself unlimited Gil and proceed to buy/synthesize 99 of each items. I was not even done with it and already crossed the 60 millions Gil spent. Now let's say that in average with proper luck a TASed game of Chocobo Hot and Cold would give us 50 000 Gils per 50 seconds (counting time between games). So earning 60 millions would take 16 hours 45 minutes.... Not only nobody would ever watch 17 hours of Chocobo Hot and Cold, but I'm not going through 300 hours of TASing only this... I might be crazy but not that much :p So yeap, just confirming that I'm not going to go for 99 of each items.

Getting 99 of everything seems like it would be overkill. Loving the TAS so far, but I think I can live with a TAS not getting 99 of everything...

I agree. I'm the ff7 100% category, they only get at least 1 of every item, and don't get lvl 99 characters as all that does is make it longer.

Had to go and snag the best Final Fantasy related thing from the last 12 months didn't you? (If you find you forgot anything from the Prima Vista crash site again I swear...)

Haha, no, my Treasure Hunter score is 440, meaning I've got everything :) Terence from gamefaqs made a pretty thorough list of the items that counts and got 369 of them (but there's not the Protect Ring from the Nero Family in that list so add 1) worth 1 point and 24 chocograph treasures and 10 bubbles/crack worth 2 points. So 370+68 = 438 points. I even got 2 extra points but no idea where from xD

Are there any plans to submit the 100% TAS at the moment?

It was never really in the plans to submit it. The routing can probably be improved and the optimization is not really up to TASvideos' standards (Fights and movements are pretty well optimized, but all the rest is pretty much "I take the first one that works instead of finding the fastest one, just for the sake of keeping my sanity at the time).

So, not really a TAS per se, but a little something I made. It's not a movie file, but recordings of me playing live on Duckstation while modifying the RNG on the fly for small segments at the time. Then I spliced all the segment together. So basically, it's almost as fast as a PS2 with Fast Disc Speed in terms of loadings, and RNG is always set to be in my favour. It's, in my opinion, closer to what I think a TAS of FF9 should look like but it's definitely not legit. Anyway, if you wanna take a look : Link to video (Still processing to HD for like 10 hours)
