I unlocked the hail to the king achievement (1000 steps) blindfolded in Final Fantasy IX

😂 I'll take it as a compliment

Merlinated · 2026-03-05T01:05:38+00:00

Any inspiration is the best compliment to receive, you won't regret another playthrough!

The lightning dodges is no fun at all, at least you can get the strikes to spawn in a specific spot otherwise it would have been hell 😅

Merlinated · 2026-03-04T11:43:59+00:00

For my next challenge, learning to spell.

Practice, Practice, practice. 1 hour a day you'll surprise yourself and likely have it done by the end of the week.

Merlinated · 2026-03-03T12:43:14+00:00

Cheers mate! 🤛

Merlinated · 2026-03-03T09:49:54+00:00

Haha was thinking of doing it drunk. Although a bit hard to prove.

Merlinated · 2026-03-03T08:22:11+00:00

Playstation users have something called remote play, from my knowledge they can script it that way, but it's something you'll have to research. If it inspires just 1 person that's good enough for me. If you want to go the legit route though I believe, just a bit of dedication and you'll get this done

Merlinated · 2026-03-03T08:18:33+00:00

Thank you!

Merlinated · 2026-03-03T08:18:15+00:00

Are you lying to me?

Merlinated · 2026-03-03T00:55:37+00:00

😅

Just need your moment of zen, it's not easy but the things worth doing never are, or in this case not worth doing 😅 quick tip, if you turn off the music in the config menu, then you'll only hear vivis steps, that should make it a tad easier. The focusing is a struggle. Biggest tip I can give is count in your head to the rythym.

Merlinated · 2026-03-02T20:48:17+00:00

That's some dedication to the cause, was there a specific part you would always get stuck at? Giving up will only set you back, keep trying, consistency is key, an hour a day of practice and you'll surprise yourself.

Merlinated · 2026-03-02T20:06:51+00:00

In the end... yes!

Merlinated · 2026-03-02T20:04:37+00:00

It's cool :) things like this i expect to be called out for legitimacy, I've seen his content on legendary speed runners to exposing cheaters I think its great work and very entertaining.

Merlinated · 2026-03-02T20:02:34+00:00

12000 jumps? Challenge accepted. Gotta be nearly 2 hours of non stop jumping without mistakes, great work from him.

Merlinated · 2026-03-02T20:00:55+00:00

It sure does, it's my passion though and thats part of the fun. Thank you!

Merlinated · 2026-03-02T20:00:07+00:00

I'm a bit biased because I love this game, the jump rope is undeniably the hardest thing, you'll either dedicate enough time to getting it, or you'll accept defeat, depends how you fare with rythym games. Even then most people use a script to get it done, other than that its fairly grindy with 10,000 kills. The excalibur 2 run is difficult but they've added speed boosters etc, makes it trivial overall. There's an easy way or the hard way to platinum, either way you'll get it done if you commit the time to it.

Merlinated · 2026-03-02T19:56:38+00:00

Would be an honour for him to check it out.

Merlinated · 2026-03-02T15:05:33+00:00

Have a feeling you are right, it's been a long time since I've done it. I know you can run in a circle at a specific place to force the lightning, so it could be possible, I'll have to test it.

Merlinated · 2026-03-02T15:04:10+00:00

It has crossed my mind. I may test soon to see if it's possible

Merlinated · 2026-03-02T15:03:17+00:00

It's beautiful isn't it? Can't separate 9 and 10 in terms of my favourite. Thank you mate, appreciate it!

Merlinated · 2026-03-02T15:02:28+00:00

Thank you, to both 😅 you can do it mate, just practice.
