Legoman, your signature is very depressing-sounding. You should make a happy one! Something that emphasizes your strengths and uses more smilies instead of frowns. As far as the game, I have no idea what it is, but a "veeerryyy long RPG" doesn't seem like an ideal TAS candidate, to me.

I used to think that Chrono Trigger was a long RPG, and look at how short that was.

Wasn't it 4 hours start to finish unless you use a savestate? That may not be long in RPG terms but it's awfully long for a TAS. RPGs rarely make for a good TAS.

It seems to me like this could make for a reasonable TAS. This game is very much stolen from Dragon Warrior with a female protagonist and a slightly different battle/level system. I'm starting a first pass run now to see if the length and entertainment will be reasonable for a TAS. Seems like so far random battles are easy to avoid, looks like they're based on an RNG that changes every 16 frames. The battle outcomes seem a little more difficult to manipulate, so we'll see how it goes. I figured I'd make a post just in case anyone had any good tidbits to share about this game, or any glitches.
