• new playthrough with Garrett and Chris

ANCIENT PLAYTHROUGH (all saves are disc two)

• 85:55 - Dirk's house
• 95:20 - Welgaia (to get the mana fragment and cure Colette)
• 102:58 - Altessa's house, directly leads into Mithos kicking Yuan ad nauseum. Flanoir follows right after but with some free space; see save 9 at 103:13.
• 104:07 - Hot Springs. After Flanoir and before taking on the Tower; you chose Colette. Probably not a valuable save to keep, unless you want to redo sidequests.
• 111:45 - Meltokio. After finishing Tower part and after doing pretty much all the sidequests. With Zelos, obviously.
• 105:45 - crumbly Tower, after losing Regal. Probably disposable save.
• 106:15 - crumbly Tower, Lloyd alone, not quite at the door before Yggdrasill.
• 103:13 - Sybak. After the Mithos reveal, right before Flanoir. May or may not be available skit points.

RECENT PLAYTHROUGH

• 11:58 - Human Ranch, probably Kvar's.
• 19:26 - Hima, right before the Tower the first time.
• 37:04 - Temple of Lightning.
• 45:13 - Flanoir. Forging pacts. Sheena has water, earth, lightning. Probably not a needed save. 8 characters.
• 47:25 - Flanoir. With water, earth, ice, lightning. 8 characters. WHY IS THIS HERE. Probably because we can go right from here to like Mithos or Alicia or something ergo WHY IS THE FORMER HERE.
• 60:39 - Tower of Mana or w/e, right before Aska and Luna. There's a scene with Kratos or sommat like after the fight. OH WAIT no this is probably right before the cinematic where the worlds are split.

DISC TWO

• 63:02 - Iselia. After clearing Remote Island Human Ranch and doing the mana cannon shit.
• 72:45 - Heimdall. Before Welgaia.
• 80:26 - Tower, right before everyone starts dying.
• 81:21 - Lloyd alone in tower, right before fighting Pronyma and Yggy.
• 82:04 - Right after clearing Tower/Yggy.

Of the ~37-63 range, one should be is right before finding Mithos and one should be right before learning about Alicia.
