Okay, some important points.... If after reading this you still have questions/suggestions drop me a PM and I'll respond. I don't want to waste time talking to people about quality/subs/editing etc...

1) As in FF13, due to the nature of the fighting/mechanics/on screen information/numbers, it is almost impossible to integrate the Boss Battles... I will skip almost all combat, and where possible edit little bits and pieces to make it flow a little better... The trouble with this is that the video has to be severely cropped in order to keep all the numbers/writing off the screen... There will be a noticeable loss in quality for what little combat scenes there are, so I apologise for that... After part 1, I don't include any boss battles, I just keep in the cinematic action so there's at least some combat going on...

2) This game has live action triggers, and I will try to edit these as smoothly as possible... I've never played the game before so I don't know what the "right" answer is, I'll just be going with my instincts...

3) The camera is frustrating, you can't run and keep the camera at an angle, it always wants to point back to the "behind view", making alternate angles while running very difficult, for this reason I can't do any panning unless I walk... Though it may seem a little unrealistic, pretty much all panning shots will be done while Serah is walking...

4) I understand there are Paradox endings to this game. I don't know how it works or what I'll do about those yet, we'll see how it goes...

I hope you guys enjoy it anyway, I've tried my best to make it work as a movie, and though the combat/live action battles won't look great, it's the best I can do... I refuse to show these battles in full because it defeats the purpose of it being a movie...

If you don't like my editing/movie, feel free to watch the other 4 hour version that someone uploaded, that has the scenes put together without gameplay, no one is forcing you to watch this... And about subtitles, it's a lose-lose situation, if I have it then people will complain that it spoils the visuals, and if I don't I'll have people saying they want subs because they don't understand it... Since Youtube is a global platform, I'll try to cater to the widest audience possible and include subtitles, again, if you don't like that, don't bother commenting, I won't respond...

Uploads will be on Saturdays, and I will do one 30 minute episode per week... I know this isn't ideal but I have a fairly busy schedule both with Youtube stuff and outside of that... Even making a 30 minute episode takes approx 2-3 hours recording/3-4+ hours editing/2-3 hours rendering so it isn't easy...
