Dollet Escape

From Final Fantasy VIII Speedrunning

Dollet Escape is the first segement of the game, almost comparable to a tutorial.

This category has been created around the 2013 PC version's launch and then popularized because of its accessibility as a fast pace and short run for new runners and races.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The run is composed of very minimal things to know :

  • General movement on the maps to get from the start to the end of Dollet
    • includes minimal step count (not necessary unless you want to compete with the best)
  • Navigating through the menus
    • can be learned at your own pace
  • Battle mechanics
    • must have, that needs a bit of practice as the run rewards you when the characters are at low HP
  • The timer start at the "New game" selection and end when the black screen appears when you leave Dollet by ship
