This is the PC version of The Zodiac Age using the OST option. This playthrough is focused on the story and I won't be showing much of the optional content.
Regarding the black bar: It's where subtitles are shown and even if you disable them, the bar will still be there. It's a weird choice to be sure but it's part of the game and out of my hands.
Gameplay notes
The game has some inbuilt cheats. The only one I used was the speedboost, for off-screen grinding purposes.
Class wise, I took knight on every single person and then paired it with time, white or black mage when the second board becomes available. It's a very easy game and obsessively min/maxing is not necessary.
I did consider new game minus but I didn't want to spend tons of time (on-screen) fighting in a game that wants you to automate and watch combat rather than actively take part.
The game uses a small amount of RNG to determine stats when characters join the party for the first time and again whenever they level up. You may notice some inconsistencies scene to scene because of this due to my edits and what I had to do off-screen to produce this video in a timely fashion.
During the tomb section, it is possible to defeat the first wall but doing so at that point in game is pretty tough due to the amount of health it has. You normally don't have enough time to deal ~22k damage regardless of how you build your party before the time runs out and you die. The boss before the wall only had ~6.7k health and the second wall has ~10k health as comparisons.
You don't get anything for beating it at that point in the game but it does guard something that becomes accessible later. You can fight the wall whenever you want after the tomb.
Later on in the tomb, I go out of my way to check for treasure chest spawns. I needed to loot the dispel magick in the area but wasn't certain if it was fixed position or not. I learned after recording that it is fixed but didn't feel the time waste was significant enough to warrant re-recording.
