(PS2) Fatal Frame II Playthrough (in Viewfinder) p6-1 (of 2)

Firstly... this is NOT a challenge or a special mode of play or anything like that. I have played this game so many times that I simply decided to add some variety by doing the whole thing (well, most of it), entirely in Viewfinder Mode.

It is SLOW, and the outdoor sequences were BORING. However, it gives you a slightly different perspective on the game, and how it might have been in first person. Yes, yes, I KNOW that there is a version of the game that already does this. So sue me, I was bored (and I don't have an Xbox).

To note...
- I have to exit Viewfinder to examine / pick up objects.
- I have to exit Viewfinder to open doors.
- I move too slow to outrun the Kusabi in Viewfinder during Chapter 3.
- Certain Wandering Ghosts automatically pull Mio from Viewfinder.
- Certain visual prompts automatically pull Mio from Viewfinder.
- Doors shutting behind Mio automatically pull her from Viewfinder (which is why I run through them until they close).
- Getting hit by a ghost automatically pulls Mio from Viewfinder.
- I can't use Viewfinder during the first part of Chapters 1 or 7 (I don't have the camera).
- Sometimes I don't bother using Viewfinder in very short rooms, especially if I've already been through them.
- Outdoor sections are run at 2x speed, because they are BORING. All visual prompts are returned to 1x speed for their duration.
- Cutscenes were removed, because they weren't the point. I edited out the nubs of most of them in post-production (but missed a few, oops).

Lastly, the game is on Easy Mode. Yes, I could have played a harder mode, but that's not the point of this playthrough, so I didn't bother. You can chalk some of my shitty battles up to the fact that I normally speedrun this game, and I just run past a lot of the ghosts that I fight in this play. Not much battle practice equals ugly-looking battles. I picked up a lot more health items than I needed, not to mention more film. Sorry to waste time there.

Other than that, I hope you enjoy watching this. Comments are very welcome.
