It's going well. Atleast what I think :) I just lost some motivation with all the desyncs, thats all. I tested out your teory about the triblaster thing and it was 6 seconds faster. So I re-done the Juza fight. Fighting the sandworms was really a pain. All the manipulation go get them and so on. I stop lvl'n when Chaz is lvl 27, Rika 20 and Rune 32 Demi and Gryz get no exp at all since you lose them after Zio ;) and the time at the clock is 46min 36sec. This Movie ends right after our little team does a emergency crash at Dezolis. FreshFeeling: Your PSIV page have been alot of help to me. http://frenom.areta.org/smv/psiv.zip I also included some statesaves for those how want to skip some parts.
Wheeeehaaa.. Yaaayy..

Looks good! Some of the Sand Worm fighting looks awkward, but I'm guessing some things can't be manipulated perfectly. What I mean by that is the Blizzard combo is sometimes interrupted and Chaz ends up using Zan or Gizan. The only other thing I noticed about that part is that Demi kept attacking for very low damage... I know you aren't eager to record that part again, but it may be faster for her to defend unless her damage is needed. Gryz has a nice fast attacking animation, but Demi's is pretty slow. I don't know how far ahead you've thought about this TAS, but do you know who you'd pick for a fifth character at endgame?

Is there any alternative to Raja? The Holy Cross is just too powerful towards end to pass up on isn't it? Anyway, still looking great!

Wow, I like this one. Phantasy Star 4 was my favourite Genesis game. I really want to see this published. Nice work Frenom!
<adelikat> I've been quoted with worse

The Grandcross combo is done with Rune's Efess and Chaz's Crosscut. The only combo in which Raja can participate at all is "Purfylight" which is his Holyword combined with Rune's Efess. It's used to do instant death to evil things... but yes, some of Raja's stuff (like St.Fire) could still be very useful. Out of the best attacks for those 5 characters, I think St.Fire would be the single most damaging against the end bosses. Other than St.Fire he would only be able to contribute healing. I'm thinking that Kyra would be the second best. Her Tandle is very powerful and can combo with Rune.

Excellent work Frenom. I'm excited that your progress is already up to Dezolis! I think the sandworm fighting was very good. You varied it up to include 3 (or 4) patterns so as to not make it so boring (when you kept Rika at first, then killed her off, then killed Chaz off). I only saw twice when Blizzard could have been invoked but wasn't, and it was right after you switched Chaz to gizan (I believe I remember this from the game though, too. Zan seems to always connect perfectly to combos, but gi and na not so much). I'm not certain if those fights would have been faster with the combo, but I'm sure it would only have been a nominal gain. Same thing with the Demi defend thing. I noticed a couple unoptimized walking patterns in Ladea tower, but again, this would have only saved a few frames. Totally not worth going back over at this point! I'm more excited to see how you handle Dezolis and beyond. I love how you owned the boss on the spaceship with grandcross. Looks like you fixed the desynch before the first Zio fight, and I didn't run into any others in your latest run, so all is well. Keep us updated as usual!

I'm enjoying this run. It's good to see a speed run of one of my favourite games. Keep it up; I can't wait to see the finished run.

Yes. Im aware about that. That was something I had to do(2 times) when Chaz learned his GIZAN. I had to kill everyone except Rune and Chaz or else the worm would die when Chaz and Rune did their Blizzard Togehter.

I have been rather busy lately, so Im still at the beginning with Raja on Dezolis. First I was planning to take Raja in the end. But if it turns up that Kyra is better I'll take her.
Wheeeehaaa.. Yaaayy..

Hm. I think I may have accidentally discouraged Frenom by mentioning how slow Demi's attack was during a segment of the game that probably took him days to get right... Whoops.

C'mon, Frenom! We need a fix... or would it be a "phix?" *curls up into the fetal position*

Frenom hasn't posted in ages... it makes me sad. Curse you, Guild Wars! Y'know, Wren is going to be pretty lame. He'll be totally underlevelled and won't have his two best attacks. Thankfully (for him?) there will probably be about 10 battles left in the entire run. Normally, Wren can carry the team.

Okey. So Im back.. Got bored of WoW. Nasty when people trick you into stuff and it gets lika a habit(?) to you... and now.. after lvling up chars to 58, 50, 48, 22 and 19 im a little sick and tierd of the game. Soo.. whats up with everyone. Much has happend here :P that I can see. Metroid in just a few days.. way to go JXQ. But thats an another topic. :) Anyway im suprised that no one took over the project. Oh well.. the project is restarted. Found myself that the start of the other run was verry crappy and ugly.. So I restarted the run and I have already spanked Juza. Sooo... Nice to be back.. :D And... oh, right.. im 2 min faster then the other run for the moment ^^ cheers
Wheeeehaaa.. Yaaayy..

Welcome back Frenom! No one picked up this project because you didn't really announce your departure, I think. We were all hoping that you would come back and finish! I'm pleased you're working on it again. Believe it or not, I checked the Sega Genesis forum here every single day for only one purpose: to see if there were any posts in the PS4 topic. ;) I love this game that much.

Awesome, back with a vengence! With that PS3 run out, I was really anxious to see if you're going to continue this, it's excellent so far. (And YES Wow gets so dull after a month of doing the same mindless things over and over! Ugh.)

Wow, you did away with all the newt hunting with Rune! Seems kinda risky, but obviously your levels were enough to take out Juza no problem. Great job thus far, nice and quick. Can't wait 'til you get to Dezolis :)

Yeah. Sat down and thought to myself. One newt fight with 4 of them gave me 120 or something and thats like nothing... and they are da*n hard to get.. and one fight with one blob-thingy gave me 666 exp. I compared with my other run and is show up that Alys didnt even lvl up at the newts. So I knew that she should have enough TP for Juza. So I took the chance and it went pretty well and I shovel off about 2 min.
Wheeeehaaa.. Yaaayy..
