Please read this: This is not a speedrun, but rather a playthrough, where I only play the game through.
A "legit" playthrough of a game this time, although it's nothing complex.

All monkeys caught playthrough, ignored Specter Coins. First 5 minutes after the opening stuff are spent trying to fix the desync, check the chapters to skip. PAL version with the European dub. Played on an actual PS1 since the PAL version of this game has some sort of wack copy protection that causes it to not work on PS3s.
The capture device used was still a recent acquisition back then so I struggled a lot with getting the sync right. I thought I had it fixed before the stream, but evidently I was wrong.

The stream had to be split into two parts due to YouTubes 12 hour limit. The stream ran just shy of 15 hours, so I split it at a random screen transition in the middle to make them about even in length.

Stream Title: The Greatflow Chronicle
Live Notification: The D is silent because there isnt one.
Stream Description: Physical PAL version played on a PS3. Regular playthrough, will try to remember most side stuff except all the merchant stuff or the card collection, since I dont want to fiddle with item drops and Sceptre Forces all day. Im hoping to do the game in one go, but its just long enough that I might need a second day.
Sorry about the quiet FMVs, but thats just how the game is. The game has moments where it drops the framerate below 60, but any notable stuttering is likely caused by my hardware.
Ah, Granstream Saga, a game whose demo I played obsessively in my youth. Its an okay game, but theres something special about it that makes me feel warm when I play it. Listen to that phenomenal music, too. The games also a spiritual successor to the Blazer trilogy.
