Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean Speed Run ~Segment 1~ speedrun

WATCH THE VIDEO PLAYLIST TO SAVE TIME. So this is it, my Baten Kaitos speed run. If you are watching this then you are in for a treat. We have a shitload to talk about, so let's get started. Before Kalas begins his long journey his spirit sidekick needs a name. I go with the always classy 007 because it's quick and cool. After that we awaken in Dr. Larikush's house in Celebrai, nothing but dialogue here. Cut scenes cannot be skipped, and I am constantly jamming on the A button for this entire segment. After Kalas collects his winglet I leave and concentrate on immediate story progression. First, I have to talk to the kid about Meemai. For whatever the reason the kid's dialogue window stalls when he says, "he's way smarter than the drunks around here." I run to the mayor's house and make sure to collect a FIRE BURST LV1 Magnus. This is a must for the boss, who has water attributes. This Magnus is of course for Xelha, whom I will be meeting soon. I leave the house and speak to Xelha, who's dressed all in pink. I speed through the conversation and finally get to save and finish the segment. I thought I handled the opening run perfectly grabbing only the necessary items, with excellent dialogue progression, and near perfect movement. Kalas can grab a DARK FLARE LV1 during this segment, but I skip it because dark flares suck for this entire game, and it really isn't needed for Xelha.

Have you done audio commentary for this? I always enjoy listening to people explain their runs.

I wanted too but I don't want to have to reload these vids or dub over them. There are too many. Live commentaries are also very time consuming to sync up. In the future I may do a voice over commentary and upload that.
