Hello all,

Once again I just want to say it's great to see so many people running this game still and all of the new strats and guides are amazingly useful to someone like me who's coming back to this after a long time.

I've been looking up differences between RTA and SS runs and have been reading a lot of contradicting explanations so was wondering if you guys could shed some light for me. In regards to FF8 am I correct in thinking RTA includes Caraway skip and turbo fire buttons for card manipulation (and text skips maybe) where SS does not?

I plan to do runs with the above strats included but wanted to make sure I have what is and isn't allowed in each run properly understood before practising. In particular are turbo buttons/controllers allowed for general text skipping? Never used it in my segmented run but that was for SDA so yeah...

I've also seen the fantastic step counter guides and as I noticed they were for SS runs only why would the RTA run have different steps?

Finally, are there any other places you guys chat about runs or is it mainly on twitch?

Cheers all and keep up the good work.
