There has been some interest in adding a leaderboard for HDPC Cutscene Remover. The purpose of this thread is to collect VODs of Cutscene Remover runs to gauge interest in the category before making an official leaderboard.

Please refer to the current HDPC Any% No Major Skips rules for these runs, with the only difference being that this category will allow the use of the Cutscene Remover mod.

If you have run this category (or intend to), please share a permanent highlight of your run in the replies. Please also provide the following info:

• Time without loads:
• Time with loads:
• Date of run:
• Turbo/Autoclicker:

Download the current version of the Cutscene Remover mod here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1YVdHSNN_evqXRPdhERTOeDjIzPY5p0ab

Instructions for setting up the Livesplit load remover can be found in the Guides tab.

Please note the following:

• The Cutscene Remover mod is currently unfinished. Further development is ongoing, and you can keep up with the latest in the FF9 Speedrunning discord.

• As with all HDPC categories, mods such as Moguri and Memoria are banned. Please ensure that the Cutscene Remover is the only mod installed on your game.

Please only post in this thread if you have a run to submit for consideration.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this potential category further with others in the community, feel free to hop into the Discord linked at the top of this page.

Happy running!

I'll add to the club - this is by no means better than Bod but it's got most of the scenes cut apart from a smattering at the end of disc 3.

This was done on the version without an artificial break added back in, but with some Terra scenes still not removed.
