Final Fantasy IX 8:32 Speed Run Anonymous

This is just insane. If you're a fan of the game, you just have to see this speed run. If not, you still should see this. Help seed when you're done.

It's 8 and a half hours long, you idiot. There would be like 200 parts on youtube.

It took me 54 hours and something to finish it. Sadly I didn't record it so I can't share it with you guys! :((((

Now think about the hundreds of hours you spent playing the game to get to that point. You know how much you could've done to help society? You are worthless scum!

The game was designed to be speed-run. There's a special weapon if you get to the end within 12 hours.
This isn't a big deal.

I did everything possible in the game, all sidequests (finished chocobo ones too), a majority of those fucking cards, and as many items as I could. Took 100 hours.

I started playing on the international release date and still not finished playing until now.

I did most things but the cards...93 hours

I skipped pretty much everything, and all in all (since I had to reset a few times to get the best time), I must have played for thirty hours on my best run.

But it's only clocked 4:57.

ff legends is pretty hard. Too bad it sucks. XII is harder than IV OR V

speed runs = not fun imo

they take all the fun out of a game, I like to take my time to be honest. I don't even like watching speed runs.

Exploiting game mechanics = bleh

BTW the run comes from http://speeddemosarchive.com/

There you can also find HQ (7.26 GB), LQ (883 MB), and Embedded Flash.

If you can do it better, you can submit it (tapes or DVDs are OK if you can't capture it yourself) and take the record.

Can anybody post the torrent file somewhere else?

This seems really interesting; Thank you. Can you post a torrent link to the Final Fantasy Tactics as well?

Try beating Ozma with a lvl 1 party. The fight itself is easy as fuck but you'll have to make preparations, which do take like over 100 hours.

Same here, speed run is what people in beta tests do. It's really not fun to watch. They just skip everything. It doesn't require much skills beside having the guide book. Everyone can do it.

It's much more interesting to see a video of someone beating mania bosses in Tales series solo and taking no damage. Or video of someone pulling off a 100,000+ hits combos and set the record, etc.

Lol I wouldn't even call them "professional." As my friend doesn't even had a diploma and he got hired by Nintendo as play testers. They would ask him to speed trough the game, find bugs, glitch, exploits. His gameplay then would be recorded on video and sent back to the programmers. That's it. All he has to do just play all day long. :)

So many hours - imagine the books that could've been read, the films watched, the places seen...

It's a Futurama quote, you dip, posted to mock the idea of "anyone can do it". Unless you can pick up a guidebook and instantly do as well as any of these people, you're talking out of your conceited ass.

I never even seen Futurama. Aren't you the one being skeptical because you never seen speed run before? Really everyone can do it, no big deal.

I didn't keep a video record of my game but my best record for FFIX is 8:04. My friend who works at Nintendo had 7:19. The two Korean kids customer where I work at had 6 hours something. I watch them play from time to time, it's pretty boring, they skip everything.

No, I mean, where are your records?

If it's so ridiculously easy, you should be able to grab an emulator and a recorder program and get at least twenty of those records knocked down in a weekend. By next Monday I want to see at least twenty videos on Speeddemosarchive replaced by super-fast runs done by "Unforgiving Anonymous", because otherwise you're just talking out your ass.

I really enjoy watching speedruns, but no so much for RPGs. RPG's are my favorite genre, btw.

You really have to work at sucking the fun out of an RPG in order to speed run it.

FPS speed runs are very entertaining to watch. Doom2 on Nightmare mode comes to mind.

Final Fantasy IX was the only one that I ended up beating, I did get the extra-long ending though.

Ozma at level one, I read a guide to do that. Fucking insane.

An RPG speed-run?

Wow, someone's got some time on their hands.

and for those who think they take "take no skill" and "anyone can do it", I submit to you:

Hehe, see you already sounds skepctical again. This has been done long time ago by alot of people. If you want to see speed run video, that's not my problem at all. Go look it up yourself. I wouldn't even bother recording my own speed runs, let alone watching yours.

If you show something original that other people cannot copy, then I'll seriously go WOW on you. If you show something that many people already done, long before you did, I'll just Bleh on you. Whatever. :D

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I figured a lengthy reply would take you a few days to finish hammering out, since you feel a one-line post while skimming a thread on /t/ is such a lengthy time commitment. I'll keep bumping this thread so you can explain to me how many ways you fucked my mom. Just be sure to at least TRY to get it done within a week.

Try Ramza Solo in FFT

How long would it take for ramza to solo on FFT?

1000000000000000000 hours?

Not even. It was actually pretty easy. Calc magic is fucking awesome if you have no allies that can accidentally get hit.

In a lot of ways, battles are much easier with a smaller party, especially when the terrain's in your favor.

Which profession for ramza then?

Obviously he may move more turn than the opponent but still. Lv up will consume way too much time with ramza only

Ramza + Yell/Accumulate = OWNAGE
