Squall and co try to figure out how to save Rinoa, and we enter another sequence with Laguna in which he has been hired as an actor to do battle with a Red Dragon, or so he thinks...

- This is the PS4 version of the Remaster, I will be including all of the main storyline cutscenes and dialogue that I encounter during my playthrough. I will not be showing any random encounters and boss battles will either be totally skipped if not story relevant or shown in a condensed manner. I will do my utmost to remove as much of the battle visuals like the selection menu as I can to retain an immersive viewing experience.

- I have tried to maintain the dialogue pacing fairly fluid, there is no perfect speed for this but my rule of thumb is to read it with my normal speed then add an extra 0.5-1 second for those who might not be able to read as fast or don't have English as a first language.

- I am an experienced video game editor/movie maker, having done this since 2013 but there are some things that I am unable to fix. The main technical issue with this game is that there is no setting available to turn off the game's music and play with SFX only. Normally I like to add all the music in afterwards so that when I edit and shorten battles or traversal you don't have the music jumping around, you can see recent movies like FFXV and God Of War for examples of that. Since this game doesn't have such an option I am forced to play with both music and SFX on and as such the audio transitions can sometimes be more jarring than I would like, my apologies for that. I do not have the expertise to do it any other way, playing with music-only and somehow doing all my own SFX and inserting it afterwards etc is an impossible task.

- The remaster retains the game's original 4:3 aspect ratio. This is a disappointment for me as I expected 16:9, but in case you aren't aware the game's original data was lost by the company and a lot of this remaster had to be reverse engineered. As I understand it, converting it to 16:9 would require a huge amount of extra work. I preferred to not stretch the aspect ratio artificially as it can look worse than just having the black bars down the side.

- If you are familiar with my "Marathon Edition" gaming movies, this game will also eventually end up being a marathon, but since individual episodes take so long but are (in my opinion) easier to watch than a single 7-14 hour video I also upload as episodes first.
