Hi, I have an easy version mainly aimed at the PC/PS4 version of the route, but works well for the console as well.

Been working on this alternate route (Disc 1 - 29 Encounters, Disc 2 - 23 Encounters, Disc 3 - 5 Encounters)
No Pre-Emptive Aps, Pre-Emptive Jenova-Birth, No Stinger Skips, Fury Ring (Optional), No Water Ring (25% death chance to Jenova-Life, but it's fine if you die since the step count benefits from a reset anyways).
