FF6 Tenkarider's contest (accessible even to casuals)

You did mention these things, but I was talking about mentioning them upfront so that you didn't have to drop hints after some people had already started looking. I noticed that most of my participants submitted extremely quickly, which means that if I'm guessing the timeline right, your hint post was too slow to curtail the majority of the frustration for most people who did try it.

I'm actually playing through the game to get my save this time, instead of downloading an internet save and making modifications, because it had some unpleasing side effects. That's the main reason for the slowness this time.
