If someone wants to define a category and do runs of it and submit here, then sure. Otherwise historically we've created categories pre-emptively and then had no one run them, so I'm a fan of leaving the onus on the trailblazers to blaze the trail, so to speak.

Definitely would be neat to see a 0 exp run.

Not 100% sure what you're referring to by ATB trick, but I'll try and answer regardless based on the SNES version since PSX should be roughly the same:

ATB in FF4 is generally running all the time with the exception of the time you are in menu. This includes brief times that you may not immediately consider such as the time it takes to draw the actual command menu and the same with closing it.

By attempting to run away from battles that you can't run away from, this causes a dialog box to appear with the "Can't Run!" message. While this message is present, ATB will not be progressing for anyone in the fight. So by utilizing this ability to pause ATB while still having the ability to navigate the menu and select commands, this allows for character commands to be queued as quickly as possible, negative menu open and close animation times and the time it takes to select commands, etc.

In the interest of including as many people running the game as possible, we have decided to update the rules allow the JP<->EN font swap in FF4PR. There are quite a few people who run the game with this font swap in place, which was previously against the rules. We hope that this change will allow more people who enjoy the game to submit their runs and actually be able to read the text.

Please note that custom fonts are still not allowed. This rule change only covers using the included JP font file with the game.

I don't think people are generally opposed to turbo (for the most part), and given that I haven't heard otherwise from other PC folks, we went ahead and added a variable for Turbo on PC runs.

I'm actually not sure about PAL. Would have to try it and see, really.

SNES Classic is known to play games with incorrect lag emulation so for FF6 it usually ends up in its own category. I'd definitely recommend just emulating it if that's an acceptable option for you.

I've no idea of the accuracy of the Android version of SNES9X. Judging by your comments, it's likely that it's not accurate as you noted. This prolly goes without saying, but your best bet is probably doing actual runs on a PC emulator.

Discord's alive and well.

To second Bich, Discord is where 100% the place to be and where all of the discussions and etc takes place.

Not buying Gaea gear is arguably the new meta...

Yeah, it's just a matter of porting the runs from there to here. I plan on tackling all the FF4 runs one of these days (which I think has the largest amount of runs in the FF series)
