Recently FFX added a Cutscene Remover Category and it has gained a lot of traction. I was wondering if we could do the same for FFVIII? It considerably cuts down the run time and might allow for more competition from people who may turn away from 7+ hour long runs. Thoughts?
It is something we are looking into and have thought about. I will say that since it only works on French version it is less likely to be ran by people who already aren't heavily invested into FF8 Speedrunning, so it does hurt its chances of being added as a category. There's only 6 people who have done a run on the 1.0 version (7 if you add Soph from previous versions) despite it being a thing for quite a while now.
Meanwhile you can always add your time to the unofficial leaderboard found on the Lite% website: https://rentry.co/qh7ak
It's with great excitement we would like to announce a new update to FF8 Utilities! This version is quite special as it has some new features which should help everyone wishing to run the PC 2013 version.
It greatly simplifies some aspects of the setup. FF8 Utilities can now install/uninstall CSR V
