Im actually more terrified of him than Sin!

the full tittle is ''FFX CutScene Remover any% tool assisted speed run'' - i only found this video today so i dont suspect you would remember or you may of found the answer already

I think baha naturally has no cap. Other eions need items to break cap afaik

@@Szotyimotyika Correct. The other aeons need the celestial weapons' crests in order to break damage limit (and you have to use that crest on the celestial weapon for it to activate for each aeon)

I have a guy breaking into another game for me too. Hopefully more soon on that.

Failed?

I'm sorry, I don't speak Japanese.

@coderwilson (They're asking if it's the ps4 version)

@@miruten4628 This is the PC version from Steam.

@@coderwilsonthanks

Glad it was helpful. That's why we do this.

That's super nice of you to say!

Dude we put a ton of effort into the patreon-only video, so go sub for a month or two and get your fix!

Someone who did a TAS of FFX at rpglimitbreak mentioned in their commentary that manipulating RNG for crits takes too long, so they have the ai omit it.

That was me! Hello!

Concerning critical hits, each main party character has their own RNG value that accounts for crit chance, and is also responsible for hit chance. Grayfox from the FFX speedrun community has mapped out how all the crits work so we DO know how to manipulate a single crit. There has been a good amount of effort into extra battles/attacks/etc to manipulate Kimahri crit on Gui, but it's still a bit buggy so it was not showcased for RPGLB. In theory, an indefinite number of crits could be sequential, but since those RNG values advance once at the start of every battle and twice per action in battle (not exactly how it works but close enough for this thread), it would take massively more info than just lining up all the crits for say 20 attacks in a row. For consecutive steals, yes it reduces chances via logarithmic regression (half chance every time). Without changing the RNG values, the most I've seen in a run is 4-5, and those are the anomalies. I have not done the math beyond that.

@@coderwilson Thank you for the detailed response. Regarding critical hits, can this RNG manipulation by performing actions other than attacking? Do you know if the crit values for each character are specific to each save file?

We ran a version of this at RPGLB 2022, worth looking up. It... did not go to plan. Working now on other projects like Mass Effect LE TAS.

Go to Playlist settings. In the popup, you will see a drop-down menu in the lower left where you can see play order options.

Try new things, find what you enjoy, and then get real good at it. Not exactly a motto but it seems to be a pretty good plan.

I feel you man. If we can make the community a good place for new players, the game we love will last a long time. Stay tuned too, you long-term players, we've got a concept in the works for a more reality-TV-based series in the conceptual phase that will be fun for everyone to watch. Probably later in 2023.

Glad I could help. Newer players are the reason we work on this series.

We have plans to keep this going for a long time, across many topics. Thank you for the support!

TAS just that good! To be fair, the best speed runners can achieve this as well on HD version.

This is completely hands-off scripted. The code is on github if you'd like to learn more, or join us in Discord.

Hey man, casual players are good people too. Thanks for hanging out with us.

Thank you very much!

That's a symptom of the cutscene remover mod. If you want the normal music, unfortunately you have to play unmodded with all the cutscenes back in.

Helps me save durability loss on wipes :)

I have some ideas for down-the-road to do some deep dives on the different talent tree with a class expert, but we've got a ways to go on fundamentals first. For now, I'm recommending that everyone consults your nearest class expert for your own trees. :D

It reads the cursor position which is set to zero (the top element in the menu) and constantly tries to move it to the desired menu item. Then it reads the level of menu we are currently in (also in memory) and keeps pressing Confirm until the level changes (aka opens another menu).

@@coderwilson Interesting. Your video inspired me to try my hand at this myself (for another RPG) and I found difficulty when trying to select the first item in a menu; because the menu opens on index 0 and the program would press confirm immediately, not knowing there was an animation playing and a brief period of non-interactivity. I suppose some cases need the program to wait and watch for very specific outcomes to know if they've done their task but I was probably trying to make it too generic.

I'd say already possible with enough time to just create the route. The biggest blocker would be the fourth Chocobo training, but the other three and the Remiem races are already programmed. Other concerns like lightning dodging or butterflies, we already have enough precision in the project to finish those out as needed. Lightning dodging x200 was demonstrated in a showcase in 2021.

@@coderwilson 100% glitchless would be nuts, especially that darn monster arena and maxing stats

Glad you enjoyed it. My wife agrees with you on working too hard. :D

At the time of this recording, it was almost all me, with some input/help from others who know the speedrun routes/strats. To put a number on it, it was more or less 95% my work, less than 5% other contributions. That has changed more recently, as others have been able to come in and refactor for best practices and other similar benefits.

@@coderwilson Okay. Nice.

it was probably slower to manpi crits cause sometimes they are really far away.

yeah i'm glad they have the AI's "brain" at the bottom left so we can tell what choices it's making and why it's doing "blank" this or "blank" that.
