Final Fantasy X working as intended

Just a silly little situation I ran into the other day. Sometimes, when dying during the Tanker battle, you get the Game Over message and the game still lets you carry on.
Don't ask how I died in that fight, you're not ready to find out (yet).
I don't know what causes this but it's probably something to do with the Cutscene Remover/Untitled ProjectX. Pretty funny to see.

Very interesting. This could save at least 10 mins. Great find!

Hmmmm the cutscene remover does have a lot of bugs, but I dont think Square ever expected anyone to die here so I won't put it past them to just forget about making you restart everything xD
I wonder if this is used by speedrunners 🤔

@@LootGoblin20 tested it multiple times and it seems like sometimes it pushes you through to the next scene and at other times it doesn't. Not sure how consistent it is. But depending on how low you get from Ammes in a speedrun it could potentially be used, yeah (although I suppose it would depend on the community finding this acceptable or not).

[@LootGoblin20]

@@BlitzAce469 Every speedrunning community finds glitches acceptable I think. Tho if its not consistent then I guess it doesnt matter. Cool find tho

[@CryofthePlanet]

​@@BlitzAce469worth the discussion at least. Good find

​@@LootGoblin20MANY glitches are not acceptable in speedrunning. This kind, however, is generally always fine.

@@brandonn6099 Really?? I dont usually see FF runs but other games there are usually lots of glitches used

Wait, this doesn't happen in a regular playthrough.

[@BlitzAce469]

I have only managed to make it work with a combination of Untitled ProjectX speeedup and Cutscene Remover.

Tested on PCSX2 with FFX International version, using different setups (as it is supposed to be inconsistent). For those who wonder, no, it does not work. Square originally intended for players to be able to die here, though. This could indeed be related to the cutscene remover or something else

[@BlitzAce469]

@@Sunset-db6wn I have only managed to get it work with both cutscene remover and Untitled Project X speed up running simultaneously.
Still, the main point was just to post this silly situation which is obviously not intended like you said. Thanks for the extra testing!

I think you could still die in the NA demo, not sure
