*The world Ends with you and Rune factory 3 wants to know your location* Okay, The world ends with you accualy can tied with 358/2 days, but not Rune factory 3 xD
Also, I noticed how badly this game needs anti-aliasing. Would be cool if there was an encode with that. Unless that somehow screws up the TAS inputs...
Not finished watching this yet, but I have a few questions. 1. How long would you estimate a 100% TAS of this or Re:Coded to be? 2. I've noticed you sometimes have Roxas twitching like crazy, or playing with the camera when you have no enemies and you're waiting. Is this just dicking around, or is it RNG manipulation?
Objectorbit 1. A 100% TAS of 358 wouldn't be that bad I suppose, just would take a while. If you include Mission Mode, you would basically be doing the same missions 3 times. 100% Re:coded would be very difficult, as that includes all the optional content, including the 100 floor Avatar sector. 2. Just messing around. RNG manipulation is based on a variety of factors, including location. IE, if an ally is moved slightly they'll use a different attack.
Wouldn't including Mission Mode actually be a major headache due to having to check which character + gear combination out of the most likely candidates could clear each individual mission in the least number of frames? With a TAS run, could even that spinning ground-ward aerial combo of Xigbar's which is of no use in normal play potentially turn out to deal a good amount of damage overall with just the right enemy placement in a ground-based crowd scenario? Or is the damage multiplier on that move typically too low to be worth considering even in a TAS? Though dang; if only it were possible to emulate DS Wireless... imagine if you could do a 4-player TAS of Mission Mode missions, deciding each of the 4 character's actions frame-by-frame? It would take effort + some serious planning to get _the_ best possible times, but damn it would be badass if only it were possible... >.< Also not to even mention how much quicker that capability would make a Re:coded 100% run xD
I know the critical system wasn't exactly balanced right, but is it really to the point where Saix is the indisputable best character for TASing Mission Mode missions due to his Crit % and Crit Bonus? I noticed that you used magic quite a bit throughout this any% TAS; couldn't characters with higher Magic turn out to be better than Saix for some missions?
Well the reason I use Magic so much is due to elemental weaknesses and the like. Once you get an extremely high crit% (like I did when I got to Xion) magic is only useful for hitting targets that are unreachable.
Really neat TAS! I learned a lot about the game from this, actually. Do you happen to know the damage formula for this game or was optimization in that regard just a product of eyeballing enemy HP bars?
Holy shit those menus. What speed did you play the game at? Also, is there a way to pause the recording and resume later? I'm new to TAS'ing and playing games at less than 20% speed takes too much time.
+Cypher I played the game frame-by-frame for this. It took about 6 months collectively I believe. You can find some general info on TASing here tasvideos.org/WelcomeToTASVideos.html

It's a good one
The last game I ever thought I'd watch a TAS for
You know, when I watch runs like these I don’t even get mad at how my rng is never this good, I just get mad because I wish I could menu that fast.
I appreciated your expertise on turtles :) also really enjoyed this tas, and your captions really helped explaining what was going on. Great work!
oosdja1 Thank you very much :)
I love how Roxas would just rizz me up every time he finished a mission
The commentary makes watching this very immersive. It's amazing. Thanks so much for making it!

probably worst enemydesign tho
@@lpfan4491 nah, it was not bad for 2007. KH Re:Coded have WAYYYYY worst designes
how tho? recoded enemys normally give you a fair chance without annoying you
@@lpfan4491 for my it's annoying, like the darkness blocks yellows and purple (i don't remember is name). But that's just my opinion.
Thank you so much for this.
+Kaiser Robo It's no problem :p
Dude...... *sniff* this- this is..... Legit. Freaking legit. Rad job. :)

11:42 I burst out laughing at that comment, it's too beautiful.
Which comment?

RadiantDarkBlaze well, if someone were to do a mission mode TAS you would just use Saix for his high crit%.

I've been waiting for this. kreygasm

lots of testing and eyeballing yeah.
I forgot how pixelated this game was... wow...
Awesome tas dude.

respect!
+GeorgMaUlWurf thank you :)
What was your carnivorous fishes name? Do you remember?
I don't remember, no.
ArandomgameTASer Oh well lol
Woops, I missed the first two hours of commentary.
Any way I can see it without rewatching the whole thing?
Romaji Oh, like a transcript of the commentary? I suppose I could try.
ArandomgameTASer Thanks!
Romaji pastebin.com/x53fwRut there you are, transcript with timecodes.
czcams.com/video/cPzoV2lMmMM/video.html 1080p encode is done. Yay.
How unbalanced is the JPN version of this game?
ur finished
