    I never expected it to get this much love when I started the project back then, it was great to see Cereth and Maff pick up the torch! Cereth and I met at an RPG Limit Break event too. Thanks for the shoutout, and the massive nostalgia trip! In a crazy coincidence, I'm playing through FFX on stream just this week again, although this time it's not for speed. RBM alerted me to this video, thanks for putting this together!
    Something I would like to add regarding the character selection: Shinryu is a huge bottleneck since four characters are unable to participate. So among Tidus, Rikku, and Wakka, two had to be in the final party. That was a bigger consideration than Rikku's Mixes. And since Wakka's World Champion is awful to get, it had to be Tidus and Rikku.

    I love that for the final boss, they're using the longest, flashiest overdrive to kill it in one hit, Blitz ace. it only has 99999 HP, so one regular max whack is all it needs, but nope, it needs to be STYLED on.

      I never finished FFX. I saved before Sin but saved over a single slot and my stats were never good enough to finish him. So, I could either replay the whole game or just give up ... I chose the latter. It's been so long since I played FFX that I don't remember anything from it and this second playthrough is something I'm looking forward to.

      I don't understand it, it's listed as Nemesis % but he already has a time split for defeating Nemesis - the run is complete. Furthermore, why is he walking around inside Sin/inside the nucleus with **NO** protection from a Marlboro bad breath ambush - literally the most dangerous encounter in the entire area by a massive margin and the only thing worth protecting from ahead of time?

      Because the game’s RNG has been mapped, the current records have manipulated encounters for capturing monsters. Everything is extremely deliberate, and efficient. The capturing was cut down by about 10 hours alone. So you aren’t crazy bad, you just don’t have the tools to cut the fat.

      Monster capturing is the crux of the run.

    The chocobo games in the Calm Lands for Tidus and the Lightning dodges in the Thunder Plains for Lulu. It pains me to remember the challenge. It is my legendary 200 hour save where I xompleted every ultimate weapons and completed the sphere grid with everyone, I erased and reprogramed every sphere to stat max every character. I may not have achieved much with my life, but there is this.

    I remember watching my cousin playing ffx during our holiday when i was small, and we really like yojimbo because we think he is funny(ready to battle? how much?). I remember him explaining zamato's mechanic of Motivation but i didnt get that Motivation is the name of the variable, and though yojimbo wont 1hit everyone because we didnt give him enough money so he is not motivated enough lmao

      Probably not on Nemesis% But I know that RPG called Baten Kaitos has a 100% speedrun takes two weeks (because there is a system in that game which requires real life time to pass and it does not take into account changing the system clock) so there is plenty of sleeping during the run while the game is just left running.

    When I played the remaster I remembered how annoying it was to go back and capture all the monsters so I just played the entire game with the beast weapons instead, and surprisingly the game was still super easy.

    Do the perks on the triple ap weapons have to be a specific order or can I farm one eye for the triple ap weapons then add the other perks on to them? Cause the alternative of farming WtDs is not appealing lol

    • @jryan506
      @jryan506 Рік тому

      It don't matter what order as long as they are on the weapon. One eye drops it with 2 of them already on if you keep trying.

    I remember playing this game back when it was still kinda new, back when the PS2 was still the only gen at the time. I still have my original day 1 copy of the game :)
    Anyway, I remember figuring out how to beat Nemesis back then on my own. Ironically, the method of using characters with max strength and agility stats, all with Break Damage and Break HP Limit and Break MP Limit and Auto-Haste abilities, plus everyone having Quick Hit and Auto-Life, to beat Nemesis easily within a few dozen turns and he barely does anything to you? I figured that out entirely on my own! XD I just had this thought about landing hit after hit on him before he could attack, and since it didn't matter what attack he used on you because they would all instnat kill charactesr, I realized what I had to focus on. I wasn't even trying to cheese the game or speedrun or anything! I just figured it out!

    Man, PS2 era was really the peak. FFX and FFXII had grinds that were so excruciatingly painful. And I loved every second of it. Stat Maxing in FF10. Hunting for Danjuro to get every copy of weapon, shield, and armo in the game. Those we're good times.

    Didn't realize the speed runs of FF10 were so long till I saw this video. Makes me wonder if I would have made it into any of the speed run categories back in the day since I had reached the end credits in one sitting. Do I remember exactly how long I was playing, no but I know it was somewhere close to 48 hours. I know I passed out shortly after the credits started. For the record this was back during the first year of the US release of the PS2 version.

    "If you want something done, you gotta do it yourself." I said those same exact words to myself when people stopped running silent hill 4 and resident evil 3 about seven years ago, and again with Nocturne six months ago. Nothing makes me sadder than seeing nobody speedrun the games I like, so sometimes one of us viewers has to step up and make an effort.
    Edit: make that eight years ago. I've been at this for too long.
