This video clip shows my playing of the first of the final battles in FF9, Deathguise.
In the first 1.5 minutes, I simply set up the abilities for the party. I did this in the video mainly to show what my party consists of and what skills they have. I did a mistake in equipping Steiner, which left me wondering for about 20 seconds why the ability points ran out before I assigned everything.
I set auto-life to everyone just to make sure that all of these battles go fine when I'm recording the movie, but in the end, I didn't much actually need that. This was my second completion of these battles. The first time around, I kept stealing from the bosses, not realizing that it's actually the end, so that wouldn't do much good.
The battle followed a typical two-fold plan of mine: On one side, rob the enemy of capability to harm you, and on the other side, inflict as much harm as you can. For the first part, I used Silence and Magic Break, and for the other part, I used Thievery and Dragon's Crest. It was a relatively simple battle.
I recorded this using the pSX emulator.
Though the logo animation says that this is a tool-assisted movie, I really played it in real time. :) I just didn't bother to change the logo.
I neither sped it up nor used Hypercam. I simply patched pSX to produce AVI output. However, the A/V sync indeed seems seriously off. Weird, because it used to sync properly before. I guess Youtube has re-processed it using the original video I uploaded with different semantics for decimated frames.
