FFXV Speedrun - New Game - Normal - Lv 1 Any% - PC Windows Edition - 58:01
Haven't gotten a run out in awhile, so I wanted to at least go over some new ideas in an actual speedroute. Despite the notion that I can skip a Trailer Sleep with this route, I don't think it ends up faster than the normal Glitched Any% as of now.
Temporary Menu Glitch (TMG) done in Hammerhead right after speaking with Cindy once, involving trailer+poster+multiple keybinds. Even though we don't start the sidequest, it triggers anyways for getting some AP for battle quests. Annoyingly, I only got the one when I wanted 2, and ended up being short AP in the endgame.
Weapon Swap Glitch is then done with Takka, also getting a food boost that lasts us to the end. TMG let's use MP refresh strats, always regaining a full MP bar as long as we cycle through the menus.
Buying weapons and selling items won't disturb WSG, and Behemoth goes down simply with our overpowered PotV. Once back in Hammerhead, AMG achieved with Takka again, converting the TMG from the Expired Chocobo Blue Box into a permanent effect.
Tried some MP refresh in Insomnia too for quicker movement, but I had an issue come up during the Ahriman battle. I must've made a misinput, because rarely, parts of your controls disable during that fight when entering it to get WSG. In my case, I could warpstrike, but not pointwarp or attack. This handicap disappeared after the fight.
Thought I had to sell 2 Two-Handed Greatswords at the shop, but I was still able to keep my weapons post Ifrit skip.
This is the first time I was able to do Ifrit Skip on Lv 1, having only 3 abilities (Regroup+Death Drop). I do not recommend it.
Getting out of the Throne Room was very awkward, thanks to my rustiness. At Lv 1 there is also an alternate strat to get OoB against Ardyn 1, where MP refresh is abused. Sadly, I've done no practice before this attempt, so I flubbed it many times. What is even worse, is that on my system, my game lags heavily when I alternate between Controller inputs and Keyboard inputs, making the timing to refresh the menu AND stay in the air while holding a good angle very challenging.
But I finished a run nonetheless!
