IrelandHi there. Unfortunately nobody has developed an auto splitter for the HD Remastered versions yet. The current PC auto splitter is only for the 2013 Steam version of the game.
Good luck with learning! The FF8 Discord Server is a good resource to help with learning also if you wish to join.
The HDPC rules explicitly say Moguri is not allowed:
Any mods that modify the game in any way is not allowed, such as Moguri and Memoria. A vanilla installation of the game is required.
Just a quick update.
As there has been some interest on PSX, with 3 completed runs submitted the board has been created.
If there's further interest for HDC or HD PC we can make the board at that stage. For now they can continue to post the runs here in the forum.
Thanks for the replies and further information. I'll make a parallel post in the FF8 discord also, to see if there's further interest there.
The category already exists for PC but had lacked enough interest to warrant a board on other platforms (PSX and HD/HDC). Until recently they were also under 'Level Leaderboards' which perhaps made them less visible also.
Hey. I decided to bash out a couple of runs of Dollet% on PSX earlier as I thought it might be a fun category.
I'll post it here to get the ball rolling. If anyone else would like to give it a go then we can make a board, as the category already exists for PC.
If anyone needs any info on the route shoot me a DM or ask in the discord, I'd be happy to help.
Hey, there is a complete guide to setting up Duckstation for speedrunning in the guides section: https://www.speedrun.com/ff8/guides/uh8r3
All the relevant settings required and some optional/preferences are included also.
Feel free to join the discord as that's a more convenient way to ask for help and advice also.
Good luck with learning!
Hey! I've been really enjoying running this run, nice short and just enough RNG.
I'm just wondering if it's worth considering merging some of the categories? As far as I can tell, 3+4 are identical, as are 5+6 and 7+8.
I assume there are some casual differences with other elements however for a speedrun they're identical unless I'm mistaken.
Version 0.7
- Time without loads: 3:56:46
- Time with loads: 4:10:13
- Date of run: 2023-08-01
- Turbo/Autoclicker: Turbo (Kiwami + AHK for stuttering)
Very cool indeed. Something similar has been done by pingval using save corruption to complete the game in like 12mins (if you don't count the ending cutscene). It might be something you'd like to check out:
