My Perfect Game File

[SeeDRankLou]

Decoys
-And now for seven level 1 battles. The first ones aren't so bad, 3 pairs of Alexandrian Soldiers and a Type B. A random battle only made me restart a few times. And some bad luck made me restart a few times more.
-On the one that I saved the soldiers only got one attack out of all six of them.
-I gave Zidane the Dagger for another point toward Flee against the Type B, which went down with only one Stop.
-Got a letter and saved.


The Cleyra Helpless Bystander Round-Up
-OMG THE CRITICAL HITS!!!!
-That was really the only real problem with this area. Stop wouldn't work fast enough sometimes, Vivi's Fira was too powerful sometimes, Freya was too weak sometimes, the enemies got the jump on me sometimes. But the biggest problem with this area was (if you didn't get it from the above) the critical hits. On both sides. Zidane, Freya and the Alexandrian Soldiers were just going crazy. I had a rather good one, but I forgot to KO Quina, which sucked. And I almost had another good one and Vivi killed one of the Alexandrian Soldiers.
-The one that I kept actually put me ahead of schedule by another minute. The pair of Type B's went down with one Stop each, and the next Type B went down with two Stops. Persistence usually pays off.
-Got the final 7 of the forty-ish items to get in this area and saved.


"Then allow me to shatter your delusions of grandeur."
-I get Quina to 1 HP, strip him/her of equipment and give Zidane the Mythril Dagger so that he can equip Bandit.
-Thanks to 1whoistornapart I now know that a turn can quickly be taken after a Limit Glove in this fight. So Limit Glove and then Zidane steals the Ice Brand (the semi-rare steal ).
-Went through the dialogue, delivered a letter and got another, then saved.


Here Comes the Cavalry
-Well, it took me a while, but I finally figured out how to get around the guards. I came very close to just accepting a battle and moving on. I had to open the disc tray to slow down the frame rate to give me more time to react, but it didn't waste much time. However, when I went to give Marcus a Broadsword (yes, I did it) the screen took like 8 or 9 seconds to load, which is probably because of opening the disc tray. It beats having to manually run from a battle.
-One of the guards in the main hall (the one that leads to the library) got me a few times, reacting almost instantly to my presence, which is bullcrap.
-The other problem with this part is the menu navigating. Usually if I'm going to be doing shopping or equipment changing I can practice playing with the Optimize function to see what happens and then to practice doing the individual stuff, seeing where everything is in the list, and I eventually memorize it and input it really fast. It saves a lot of time, especially with four characters or a lot of items to buy. However, the equipment changing here happens after a rather difficult feat to perform that took me many many tries, so I don't really have much time to practice. So I had to go over what to do in my head, which is by far not the same thing. It went decently enough though, I was just really nervous at that point.
-I stole the Stardust Rod from Zorn on the first try and beat down Thorn rather easily and quickly.
-Did one last equipment change for the Beatrix battle, read a letter that Mosh got and saved.

You might notice on this picture that I skipped a save space. I instinctively pressed down and X when I should have saved over the old save that I was trying to improve upon.
