what a game. and what a run too! loved this game to death. didnt know trans light is the way to go for non elemental enemies. another in depth thing learned from this game.
Actually all attack items will do the same damage against non-elemental enemies. Each attack item has a different animation length. For single target items, the fastest animation (Spear Frost) is almost 4 seconds shorter than the slowest animation (Spinning Gale). Ideally we would use Spear Frosts for Melbu, but shopping in Bale takes too long because you have to swap discs. So instead we shop in Fletz for Trans Lights, which have the 2nd shortest animation.
Yes, the speed up on Dart there was intentional. The ideal fight there involves Zieg targeting Dart on his 1st turn so that you don't have to force a counterattack which is like a 40 second animation. So we wait until after Zieg takes his 1st turn to attack with Dart. The speed up on Dart is needed because Miranda and Haschel are much faster than Dart and you'll end up having to defend a couple extra times with them before Dart's next turn if you don't speed him up.
Awesome! You can find the Any% Glitchless notes at speedrun.com/the_legend_of_dragoon/guides/dmt6a. There's also an LoD Discord link on the speedrun.com page, but the speedrunning channel isn't very active. I'm always happy to help new runners so feel free to message me either on Twitch or Discord (preferably Twitch), and I'll be able to answer any questions you have. Another thing I should mention is that we have individual disc leaderboards as well. Individual disc runs are a great way to start learning and only require a few hours rather than 10-12 hours for a full run.
Just going to watch one more video before bed...
This game was pure Gold.
And the Music was so good!
Loved it back in the days ❤❤
Christ alive, nearly 40 non-stop days worth of runs, and that's just the ones you've recorded with livesplit. Absolute madness. Insanity.
Awesome stuff man. Keep it going! Never let the legend die.

Did you mean to use Speed Up on Dart during the Zieg fight or was that a wrong input?

This is sick! I’m so happy someone put the whole game on here in one piece. What a legend!
Im about to throw my hat into the ring here soon, where can i go for support and tips?

So many rare drops .... o_o
Does getting the bandit ring from Drake speed up the run at all?
Yes, getting one from Drake means we can skip the chest in Home of Giganto, which saves about 20 seconds.
PS5 rewind is nice for getting rare drops on boss fights. That said, I will always keep my PS1 hard copy.
Have you speedrun this on PS5? :)
I don't have a PS5 so I have not. We have a separate category for the PS4/5 port but nobody has done a run yet.
