Hey Duders,

Here is the latest Deep Look! Deep Looks are largely gameplay and commentary like a Giantbomb quicklook; however, I try to cover games that have been out for a while and I intend to use the videos to highlight moments and mechanics that I found particularly worthy of highlighting and exploring. Also I aim to keep the videos under 20 minutes.

In this Deep Look I continue my preparation for Giantbomb.com's Community Endurance Run (which starts on November 15th!) by outlining some of my early FF8 speed run strategies. I show off how to kill X-ATM092 and reap the sweet item and AP rewards that lie in its metal carcass. I also shed some light on how to exploit limit breaks in FF8. Once again, any and all speed running tips you might have are much obliged!
