In 2008, I created a Tool-Assisted Speedrun of Chrono Cross on the Playstation system, using pSX Linux version 1.13. It was not officially released on TASVideos, because it did not meet the site standard of reproducability (due to how it was made).
This is the first time I publish it in YouTube. I originally split it thematically into 27 parts, but YouTube's 15 minute upload limit requires me to publish it split into even more pieces.
This is part 24 of 52, or according to the original numbering, piece 2/2 of part 14/27.
The first part is here: https://youtu.be/LSVdQFVLvdU
The previous part (23, "The Zelbess") is here: https://youtu.be/54pG_Nxf4Lk
The next part (25, "The Masamune") is here: https://youtu.be/Z7-IHwEFJWA

Key events of this section: 
— Payback time at the Casino
— Fight the Sage
— Meet the rest of Nikki's band

Note: This is not an as-fast-as-possible game completion. While the playing precision is high, the speedrun employs a sort of sight-seeing route through the game.

⌛ Total length of time played (including undone segments): ~26 hours.
⌚ Final playing time: 9 hours and 8 minutes and 25 seconds
✂ Total rerecord count: 47180
✄ Total segment count: 7959
Terminology: A speedrun with arbitrary segmentation (create & load save whenever you want) is called tool-assisted speedrun, or TAS for short. Many TASes do way more than that, but this movie does just that. The line between SDA speedruns and TASVideos speedruns is quite narrow. This falls in the between, not quite fitting either site.

Apologies about the bad video quality; I don't have better quality originals, and there is no input file with which to create a new dump from the emulator, as explained on the webpage for more information.
There is also an all-in-one-part video available at https://youtu.be/5LG9T4kbD64 . However, it is unfortunately of slightly even worse video quality.
