(2024 edition!) Final Fantasy XII PS2 122333% notes and route

I did not make this route itself, rather, I copied it from zer0skar_i's WR VoD and put it into a spreadsheet. This is not a 100% comprehensive guide; you'll need to know general movement through areas as well as how to manipulate RNG.

(note: fullscreen on a 1080p monitor, you may want to drop the size of the sheet down to 90%)

(2024 edition!) Final Fantasy XII PS2 any% beginner's guide

Should have put this here a long time ago, but here ya go - this guide took me a lot of time and work to make, and I hope it serves you well! This guide uses the most current route with a few small changes to make the run more accessible.

Shoutouts to the FF12 community for helping with this. I always consider edits to this document.

There's a LOT of stuff in this guide. I would HIGHLY recommend watching a vod while looking at this guide, and making you own notes to kind of condense things. 

That being said, I can't guarantee this would guide a player through a completely blind speedrun of the game, but this is probably as close as you could wish for.

2. Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age New Game- Speedrun Video tutorial (PC and console)

I created a tutorial video, on how to Speedrun the New Game- category for Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age.
Keep in mind that, what I do here only works for TZA Console and PC but not for Original or IZJS. 
On top of that, TZA on Console is allowed to start later than PC, due to how NG- is handled in the Console release vs on the PC release (this should be mentioned again in the video).
If there are any question, you can ask in a Forum on SRC, or join the discord and ask there!
Good luck with learning and running!

FFXII TZA Any% (No Seitengrat) Notes

These notes contain all the menues and a few details of the run and how to go about it. They were used in the most recent Any% No Seitengrat records (August 2021) which makes those runs a good ressource for cross-checking fights and other things like pathing.

Final Fantasy XII Barheim Gil calculator for PS2 any%

A simple spreadsheet I made for tracking gil gained through drops, chests, etc. up to Nalbina Fortress after Mimic Queen, to aid runners in optimizing which chests to go for and which to skip.

To use this, you'll have to make a copy of it to be able to edit the cells.
