Here is a link to the full video.

I made it at juuuuuuuuuuuust under 11 hours. I got to Chaos around the time I expected to, but I didn't know he had 20k HP in the PSP version, and I was woefully unprepared. I had to grind levels for another hour and then I managed him.

I embedded the chat in the video the whole time just in case anyone wants to watch any part of the archives. Use the link Tasura posted: http://www.twitch.tv/origamiwombat/b/480684933

Thanks a bunch everyone who hung out all day or part of the day. Hope you enjoyed it. I had a lot of fun.

I didn't expect you to kick his ass so hard on the second try, since you didn't level up all that much.

I wish I could say I see why you like this game now. Stupid 1987.

I had to drop out about halfway through due to my early bedtime but the first half was indeed very enjoyable Glad to see there was a pretty big turnout.

First thing I did at my PC when I woke up was watch you beat Chaos. Was great fun watching/listening for the first few hours, though, I really enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. You had good interaction with the audience and there were a lot of people watching, so I'm really chuffed this went so well. We should do this more often!

I really want to start streaming FFXIV using Twitch, but when I tried it, it kept cutting out constantly. Any advice regarding this would be appreciated. I use Open Broadcasting Software at the moment, since it's free. It works fine for Football Manager 2013, but I suspect something to do with the fact that both smitten and I are playing an MMO like FFXIV is using a lot of our network resources and perhaps the stream on top of that just won't work. Not sure, though... maybe I can tweak it to work a little better.

I popped in a couple times. It was cool that you did this.

[Elskidor]

I didn't end popping in for long, but I did a few times and what I saw was fun. I didn't think the game was so short though...I mean, I knew it was a short game, but not that short. Well done.

This was fun. I asked Unne plenty of questions and found out things I didn't know from when I played it. For example, weapons can be used as reusable items. Throw your gauntlets at someone for thundara and it will still be in your inventory. Saw the use of spells I never use like invisira or the steroid abilities of the strength tonic. I think that's what pushed him over the edge for the last boss is using 50 thousand of those and making pancakes out of him.


I was there on and off throughout the day but stayed for the last few hours. If you stream again in the future I'll stop in.

That's why Twitch is great. It's the next best thing to a bunch of people sitting on a couch playing a game together. Except only one person gets to play. Everyone was helping out when I started failing hard at Chaos. It was a team effort.

There are a lot of things that affect how well you can stream. Your CPU and network upload speed would be the two most important. CPU might be the limiting factor for a game like FFXIV (guessing blindly here). That game is already CPU-intensive.

Reduce the resolution of FFXIV and make OBS use the same resolution for your stream, so that OBS doesn't need to scale the video. I can run games at 1920x1080 at 60+ FPS, but my computer can't stream smoothly at anything over 1280x720 at 30FPS. Then start turning off visual effects in FFXIV until it streams smoothly. Also hope you live physically close to a Twitch server that doesn't suck.

I was hurrying a bit. I was running from a lot of battles and I already knew where everything was, and I wasn't reading all the dialog. If someone was playing blind, it'd be a longer game. Every game is pretty short when you rush it, actually. Here's someone beating FF6 in 4.5 hours:
