This is a list of Spirinite we purchase during the run which All but two runs on the leaderboard use. This is simply detailing what items are for what spirinite, how to get them, and maybe how it's achieved in the speedrun if it's required notation.

I am aware that currently the two major note sets used (My own and Freddeh's which is on discord) does have errors on this. I did this to purely make it clear, as this stuff is a recurring question from people learning the game.

@starsmiley you stripped of of mod and gave board leadership for chocobo dungeons to someone who doesnt run Chocobo dungeons. I checked the run it was segmented and invalid due to no evidence of a level grind that took place. I've only just had time to check messages today. he was left on that run verifying (which wasnt his) for approximately 1 day.

Edit 1: I'm also going to add, that the run was over 15 hours, i got the tweet 9 hours ago. I watch runs I verify. For all you know i was half way through verifying that run before I was kicked off for trying to verify it.

Edit 2: He's now merging the leadboard. added 3 other mods, and is now tampering with the board....

Does the Gender on the final hero matter for the overall run? I ask because I'm learning the run, and in the future would like to maybe submit the game to marathons with donation incentives for both Gender and name for the hero.

Thanks!

Currently, Myself and Lerriplays, the other English speaking runner of this game have agreed that DLC Buddies are currently banned from regular Any%.

The DLC Buddies are not majorly useful for the run, they would be minor time save at the beginning of the run, and add run safety for the end of the game to our present understanding. But with every buddy being £1.30 each, The idea to add minor time save behind a price gate of a minimum of £5 extra seems Silly.

DLC buddies can be installed when doing a regular Any% Run, as they do not add extra bonus's in doing so, however the DLC buddies cannot be used. The same applies for the Pre-order Buddies.

DLC Catagory can be added on request.

Honestly. Mods can add it to the sidebar now if they wanted too.

Just as an update. The discord is set up for the HD Remaster coming in March 2019.

But! if you are interested in the Natural% and Any% of the game. We have full resources available in the discord! so feel free to stop on by and give us a poking. We're friendly! Don't bite!

This is basically just a collection of issues for the game. Some of these are far more important than others.

New Game Footnote:

This applies for all new runs, and is critical for things such as marathon setups. Or perhaps someone looking to run this game.

When you start a new game, all settings, including keybindings, sound and text speeds, are reset everytime new game is pressed.

There is a forced tutorial at the start of the game, make sure you are aware that you have to use default keyboard bindings during this. You can change the settings the moment you gain control of Kanata after he wakes up in his room.

For all the above reasons. I recommend running on controller.

Old Patch Footnote:

Old patch isn't banned and doesn't offer any technical advantages over current patch.

However, please be aware that Old patch has an extremely annoying and frequently occurring audio glitch, in which a specific sound loop can get locked in after building on the world map, something that can occur within the first 15 minutes of gameplay. The only way to fix the glitch is to close the entire game down. It doesn't even stop in the credits and after.

Please for make sure you are in the most recent version of the game.

Xbox One Controllers and Infinite scrolling on shop menus:

I've personally tested 3 different Xbox one controllers. But on the shop menus Xbox one controllers like to cause the game to just scroll uncontrollably during menus. The same issue doesn't occur in my Steam Controller. But real Citation is needed on this. It could just be me :/

So i did some further testing on this. You can copy paste names into that text box... As long as it fits 10 character limit, any character can be put in the box via copy paste.

Copy pasting also gets around the Key Binding for Pause, meaning that as long as you have the named copied you can paste anything.

An example of the Symbols.

I've been in the run for a while, so whilst I'm here, congratulations on the huge PB 4 days ago (as of writing). That's honestly incredible, i've been lurking on this run for a while because I don't get much time to actually play long runs. Honestly impressed as to how well you have documented this by yourself.

Now for the Glitch at Hand. It seems to be queuing the boss fight on entry, which by itself is odd, because i don't recall any other instance or reason as to why the game would require to do that. However, this could be a side effect of the checkpoint system. The game has created a checkpoint there, so has flagged internally that boss fight as about to start / being active. Regardless of the prior cutscene.

I assume you have tried killing another enemy (either in a dungeon or on the overworld itself), to see if it clears that flag, However i Imagine that that itself might not do anything. I'm wondering if you can flag this, go somewhere else where you can possibly flag another checkpoint (A mini-boss or something, it's been a few years since i've played, so i cannot name one of the top of my head). If you can flag a Checkpoint somewhere else, and then return to Azure Sentinel boss area, it may skip the fight?

At least this is my logic. So basically you would re-write the boss checkpoint, whilst it is a "Loaded" boss fight, and see if that causes anything to change.

This of course is all provided that there is another checkpoint place within the game, that is easily accessible to try it. Crazier yet, if you managed to find another boss (mini or not), and started a fight, you could end up fighting Azure Sentinel, and cause some weird internal conflicting and crash the game.

Added mine which i published on twitter a month ago to the guide section.

Hi! This game isn't even out yet? So we expanded the Setsuna Discord! https://discord.gg/dAZHKen

The game got a recent surge after a Marathon run, and a bunch of interest!

Have you got video of this glitch? Technically using RemoteJoy to use a PS3 controller isnt against the rules. But im not a mod, so its not really my call.

I've been setting up for the PSP run, so i guess ill give a heads up to the mods, and anyone else running.

¤There is a load time difference on Emu vs PSP (about 2/3 seconds from Download, 20+ from UMD. UMD is basically unplayable for speedrun on a E1000 with recording on.)

(UMD Load time here: )

¤PSP E1000 will overheat from the load time from UMD with display on as well as game capture, Recommended off.

¤RemoteJoyLite 0.19 (The normal FF1 runners use), Crashes FFT0. However 0.20 will crash on the home screen and game boot. (But will not crash any other time¤¤) I have not found a work around as of this Post. So all Submissions from real PSP (FROM ME) will have a hand cam.

¤ The Game does Two discs. Game Swap is required.

¤The English Version of PSP Game is an Unofficial Fan sub, a discussion needs to be held if it is valid or not. (as it's technically an unofficial version)

Notes on the English version:

The English Version is fan made, it also is not spanning 2 discs. (Only 1 Iso file).

Can i get some clarity on PSP runs? If you run on PSP, will the timer be paused whilst you change the card? or will the timer keep running?

And what will the rules be for Emulator? No Save states i presume. But swapping discs on Emulator is going to be very quick if your using PPSSPP...

Will PSP Emulator get a different catagory because of the required to beat disc change. I wanmt to know because im thinking on Running Emulator before my PSP Arives.

If you want to run and have a donation incentive or something for changing names, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR PAUSE BUTTON IS.

Pause Button will kick you out of that Menu for name changing every time. So you will need to change the Key on game boot up. So say if your donation incentive is to call someone Kryptic, default binding will always stop you at Kryp and not allow the ic.

Default Key is i Believe P. And it is 100% the Pause Key. Only Keyboard setting needs to be change.

I'm just going through notes and stuff, as i am considering learning. For some cutscenes especially at the beginning, would it be better to try to line yourself up to the "Cutscene" position before running into them? To avoid the extra Movement? Or doesn't it matter to much? Thanks!
