The Rufus fight suuuucks. In hard and normal play, to be honest. Definitely the hardest part to learn. There's some other strategies that are faster, just way less consistent than the one I used in this run that are just torture.
Thanks. In the description is a link to a google doc with the starting builds for each character. Then if you read through the route you will see what gets added and taken away throughout the run. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
No. HP is only healed when a new chapter starts or at rests, like the Junon Inn or Gold Saucer hotel for example. Benches also do this however you want to avoid them as they are slow. Cure also heals you, however you need to make sure not to completely abuse it as MP is only healed when a new chapter starts in Hard Mode. The save and reloads are only done when something is needed to be skipped as the game will, depending on when you do it, go into a state of whatever you were doing is set as completed even though you didn't listen or wait for it to actually be completed. An Example of this is at the start of Chapter 3 where the party starts a conversation where you are forced to walk until they are done talking. However saving and reloading skips all the dialogue and instead lets you just run to where you need to go. In Chapter 11 saving and reloading after hitting the elevator button will make the lift be on the bottom right away which is faster than just waiting for it to slowly come down all the way. In Chapter 14 saving and reloading after each character begins talking to you skips their dialogue and allows you to run past each party member instead of slowly walking during the conversations. There are a couple of other moments in the game where this works however there are either faster ways to skip the dialogue or they are just not found in a NG+ Any% run as they are in side quests or just other parts of the game not seen in this run. You can see a real crazy example of it in Chapter 10 of a regular Any% run during the Zack section right after beating Gi Nattak. Saving and reloading during the section saves a couple of minutes than just going through it normally as Biggs talks and moves very slow however saving and reloading at the right times allows you to skip the conversation completely and sprint past him. However saving and reloading at the wrong times like to early or to late actually soft-locks you so you need to be careful when actually performing it. You don't see it in this run as we skip all Zack scenes in NG+. There was also a new trick discovered after I did this run in Chapter 11 where saving and reloading actually allows you to easily skip the Adjudicator battle without having to rely on RNG with where they are placed and just basically phase through the ceiling. Here's the link to the video demonstrating it if you are interested. th-cam.com/video/LyTne3s9HP8/w-d-xo.html
@@dvega2003 i see! i thought saving and reloading would fill the HP back but i was wrong. i am interested in the video tbh but i haven't played this game for months now since i couldn't finish the hard chadley mission because of rng so i stopped my attempt to platinum this game even though i like it
The Chadley missions can be tough. The only one you really have to beat in order to do the run is Rulers of the Outer Worlds for Gotterdammerung item. The method in this video is probably the easiest to pull off (still pretty hard however) while also minimizing your amount of time for each try and the RNG. th-cam.com/video/IH_Cy8IPyrA/w-d-xo.html The Bonds of Friendship and Become a Hero ones can also be difficult. However in Become a Hero you can effectively solo it with Sephiroth if you make Cloud's build more about healing and buffs with not to much problem. All you have to do is essentially roll and mash Triangle like I do with him at the beginning of the run and you'll kill everything relatively quickly. Especially if Cloud also has a few good magic attacks to deal damage if he needs to. Bonds of Friendship is definitely harder. I recommend either getting really good at Zack combat as he is actually kind of broken if you know how to use him properly or having Cloud use a build based around magic attacks similarly to the one used in this run and just use Zack for healing and buffs. That's how I beat it anyway, but it did take sometime. If you need help with any of the builds or anything I'd be glad to help.
@@dvega2003 I'm still far feom getting there! I was stuck in the challenge where i have to fight tombery king and that joker or clown at stage 10 I don't remember the name of the challenge

does saving and reloading refills HP?

On vit dans un monde où un jeu qui est sorti il y a quelques mois doit être speed runner...
Je suis content de pas être dans cet état d'esprit...
