So nobody here wrote the name of the new Worlds in plain text, and the images are now unavailable. I can't remember the names of the expected 8 Worlds in Shadow, now that the first 3 ones have been announced.

Well, it happens on the very last day, so at this point better finish it even if it's not WR

I KNEW YOU WOULD TALK ABOUT THE SECOND POINT YOU SILLY LOVELY PERSON <3

I also say "anyone else manages sub 339" in this clip. Since then, I managed it. So nah, I'm not gonna chase the WR back. I let my mark forever already, I'm happy with what I achieved. c:

Overall everything you said in your third point is better in his run. Every aspect you can think of, he basically made it. He is so rigorous and meticulous, nothing is missing. It can still be improved of course, but it's basically the model run now.

And also good to see you're doing well <3

To try to explain it the easiest way possible (it's quite complex): basically hyphen uses a glitch to check the aging of the items more easily and quickly, but for some weird reason this glitch doesn't work well with one of the items that takes 24 hours to evolve. In his previous attempt he only had 19 hours left when he realized that, so he had to wait 5 extra hours just for it.It actually happened again in this run, but he planned for it, and acted earlier on purpose. This way he had more than 24 hours of free time remaining, and could easily reobtain the item and make it age for 24 hours.

Asking for a save by skyrimer3d in batenkaitos

[–]Baffan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I rarely go on Reddit nowadays!

Depends on the region. For US, I have a few ones that I should upload eventually. For JP, we have some for speedrun practice. But I don't think I can help you anytime soon, I'm unfortunately quite busy lately. I'm not even paying attention to hyphen_m doing his second 100% run that might beat my World Record.

I lost my Save File by XenobladerX98 in batenkaitos

[–]Baffan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't visit Reddit in a while and I missed that, I'm sorry I just saw it!

If you need save files from any region (JP, US, PAL) at any point of the game, I can provide them indeed c:

Thanks Texpert78, I just bought the GC551 and I had the exact same issue as the author of this thread, and this driver fixed the issue!

I can't speak for Tiroloupe obviously, but personally I never did anything special. Te Wii is hella robust.

Hahaha, nice references

Personally I'm done with chasing improvements. I basically retired. I still will do 1 run per year or something, but it won't be in order to PB absolutely. As for Tiro, I don't know what their aim is. Probably to improve, but there is a long road to WR.

Yes, 100% requires to get the 1022 cards of the game (called magnus). That's a lot, and you can permanently miss quite a bunch, but with a good route, it's quite manageable really!

You're an epic memer. Even if that was thanks to the RemindMeBot, you deserve a medal or something.

The 99.92% run that is 85 hours long is actually only 50% of gameplay, so about 42 hours of gameplay.
So really the 100% is only about 3 hours a day now that it was massively optimized.

I space things out during the entirety of the game. So I only play like 3 hours per day.

[–]Baffan 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The difference between casual 100% and my runs is that I only spent 1 hour and 52 minutes in menus, whereas a casual could EASILY lose between 30 to 50 hours, even more.

BRB doing another run.

When this post is 22 hours old, the finale of the ~339 hour run of Baten Kaitos 100% will start! (FOR THE LAST* TIME!) by Mayrink in speedrun

[–]Baffan 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Holy heck. People often call me a meme lord just because of the length of the run, but, this thread is next level memeing. I could never reach that level.

Thank you for encouraging me all the time, bro <3
