why would you ever grind levels in ff8?

Because stat bonuses with GFs can let you get to 255 on everything

So based on the OoT estimate, and assuming ZFG added like 10-15 minutes to it for safety... man 100% must be really different from when I last recall it and the WR was around 4 hours, that'd be over an hour cut from it.

hype incoming

This is a totally different category than the 100% that's just under four hours. The "No Source Requirement" bit is important.

But yeah, it does some cool things.

No source requirement means you don't have to get the item from the actual source so you can use item duplication and glitches and stuff.

I think it means you are allowed to just write items into your inventory and it counts for completion. You don't have to actually get the item from the original source.

The oversimplified tl;dr is that you can dupe shit.

Source requirement categories require you to get every relevant item "from source", which means picking it up from its original intended location. Regular OoT 100% has you collect all 100 unique skull tokens, all the different heart pieces, etc. If you acquire an item with a glitch (such as the Big Poe Collection bottle via a Bottle Duplication glitch), you have to also do it legit (by turning in enough big poes). "No source requirement" does away with this restriction

If you've ever done the pretty well known trick where you boomerang a skull token and exit the grotto by backflipping out so the text doesn't finish, that would be a trick that would make it NSR.

Ahhhh, that makes perfect sense, thank you. So you have to collect the number of things that would be required in a normal 100%, but you don't need to collect them from their intended locations.

Pretty much. The ruleset of the category is literally to just collect the following starting from a totally fresh file, by whatever means you want:
  • Have 20 Hearts
  • Have all songs
  • Have 100 Golden Skulltulas
  • Have Double Defense and Double Magic
  • Have the Gerudo Card and Stone of Agony
  • Have all items on the Item Select subscreen (Eg. Din's Fire, Boomerang)
  • Have all highest item capacity upgrades
  • Have all highest item upgrades
  • Have all equipment on the Equipment subscreen (Eg. Goron Tunic, Hover Boots, Golden Scale)
  • Have all Spiritual Stones (Eg. Zora's Sapphire) and Medallions (Eg. Fire Medallion)
  • Complete the game (reach the credits)

Dowolf I wanted to watch your run when it was at 12:15 my time.

It's slotted for 2:31 my time now. Sorry buddy. I'll catch the replay or hopefully you make it eventful and it ends up on the cringe compilation.

idk

I tried to look into this a bit and the best I can find is one of the FFVIII relay runners has a lot of problematic stuff on Twitter. Apparently he was banned from the event after the run. I guess if you consider that he got to participate in the run first before getting kicked out that it was light rather than kicking him out before it?

Apparently if you have a save file with a certain timer active, select it, then cancel out and selecting New Game the timer is preserved into the New Game and allows for the glitch to be performed (almost) everywhere.

Yeah a lot of his tweets/retweets are in Spanish so I dunno what they say.

I did love the FFVIII speedrun though, and I always look forward to what has become a tradition of one long overnight RPG run. Thought this one was particularly good.
