This run is like a fever dream

Only the first party member is properly initialized as ?????? - the speedrunner never triggers an event (like Naming character) to initialize another character. All values are 0, causing the &&&&&& names, Terra sprite, Blonde color palette, and not existing in combat. Fun Fact: ?????? isn't the same character as Terra, since there are only 12 party member slots (plus two guest slots - part of the reason Gogo and Umaro can't equip Espers and there are no other guest characters in the World of Ruin) that have to be shared between all characters such as the actual cast and, say, the ten moogles that help you out early on in the game. Most people that skip characters with different glitches wind up with a useless moogle named Kutan or something in their place later for that reason. A haunted house later on has doors (actually NPCs that don't talk or move) opening and closing - this is done by cycling what NPCs are present every few seconds. Tricking the game into keeping this code active outside the house and even in other save files is critical, and also causes bugs like party members appearing in cutscenes. It's causing that "clunk" sound every few seconds. This allows things like leaving Arvis's house via the front door (invisible NPC blocks path) and getting Ragnarok from an NPC smith that shouldn't be there yet. The defense north of Narshe is always there, it's just normally not possible to walk there yet. Leaving Arvis's house via front door lets you simply walk to the Defense of Narshe instead of being blocked at the front gates. The speedrunner uses the Defense of Narsh "press Y to switch active party" as well as saving/loading to trick the game into moving a party member to the coordinates of another party member, BUT on the map they were on - letting them teleport on that map. There is a secret entrance in Figaro's Jail that leads to a cave in the World of Ruin which you are supposed to come out of waaaaaay later in the game - again, this is always there, just inaccessible. There's a glitch involving the Tent that starts the Floating island cutscene - your guess why is as good as mine, but you are on the airship at the end of it, just in the World of Balance when you need to be in the World of Ruin. Getting a game-over boots you to your last location you saved, but if you have the airship and didn't have it when you last saved it gets dumped at that spot. Some people play the whole game without saving to get the airship, die, and have it when they start the game. The 6 minute gameover timer from the Defense of Narshe event is still running for most of the run, normally when it runs out you get a game over because they broke through your defenses. It boots you out of combat if you are in combat, but ending the final Kefka fight that way means it plays the ending cutscene before it can give you a game over, and the ending cutscene remains at "The End" rather than ever ending.

@sporedoutofmymind

This is accurate but I believe the timer is from the Tzen house. There's no timer in Narshe, it's based on whether a soldier reaches Banon (and I think when it's offscreen the soldier movement is paused)

I also remember falling into a whirlpool that ended up being an underwater maze, and I also remember a sky castle/temple thing with bright blue knights and feathery creatures.

By studying the game code and through trial and error. With all of these old cartridge games there are fixed variables that change with every action you take and speedrunners can manipulate these variables to eliminate RNG or break the game.

I just found this. I have 0 clue what going on. All I know is that I saw villages popping in and out of existing near the start with a *Thunk* Noise, so I think Terra broke spacetime.

Just finished my first playthrough ever of FF6 and watching this run with my jaw just GLUED to the floor. What in the mother of glitch just happened.

I wonder what the game devs would think of runs like this... Would it blow their minds?

@@nesspurr6931 its not like they dont love them imo, its just that more famous games of the series are getting remakes, a good example would be ffvii, hell even casual players know who cloud strife/tifa lockhart, not to mention sephiroth.(I started on ffvi when i was a kid, and before then i already knew who those guys were evem though im new to the series) Its not only them who does this, most of the gaming industry do. Because remaking a game without meeting their sale quota would make them lose funds. although ffvi did get a port on steam and mobile, some old players mocked it for looking ridiculous(like locke looking like a drunkard with big belly sprite), also with this reason its hard to appeal to old games people love, they love a remake/remaster, but at the same time hate the changes.

But if you have to make a 4+ hour save file to trigger the door glitch and then you have to save over it to do the other stuff, doesn’t that actually extend the length of this speed run? Or is there a way to do it without erasing that first save file?

@neerrm

4 жыл бұрын

The creation of the save file isn't considered part of the run, hence the "New Game+" moniker. Future runs can be done by highlighting any save that has the door timer active, so thankfully setting up for another run doesn't mean playing through the entire game up to that point again.

Seems too short. What about the story about how these glitches were found? I don't know what I saw.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wrote a bit more in my speedrun notes about how the glitches are utilized; that's probably your best bet. bombch.us/DGPK

I think I have some clarification on the Blonde Terras. My theory... is that the blonde Terra's are actually taking from Celes' pallet ( see armor colors for reference ). The prior memory manipulation is probably a part of why this happens, it may also have something to do with Celes being furthest to the left of the party members on the snowfield map just before the event initialization. Sprites work weird in games. For example if you were to alter Edgar's hair to green, Sabin and Celes' hair would also be green. But someone correct me if I'm wrong.

so this is the best example of going to another country and not knowing what is going on, the sad thing is, I understand all the words that were said, I just have no clue what they were talking about. I felt like a kid who should be in kindergarten and I just wanted into an astrophysics course

You know that one non gamer friend who just doesn't get it when you try to explain the game mechanics to them? Now you know how they feel

Just finished this game for the first time the other day. Took me 35 hours XD

In case anyone is curious about Terra’s blonde hair, Amano originally drew her with blonde hair, however when they got around to programming her, an executive declared she and Celes were too similar and requested they change it so players wouldn’t get them confused. They already programmed her as blonde, so they had to swap things around. Blonde Terra here is what they initially intended for her.

In this case, this isn't coded into the hard game, this is because the blonde Terra's are actually taking from Celes' pallet ( see armor colors for reference ). Sprites work weird. For example if you were to alter Edgar's hair to blue, Sabin and Celes' hair would also be blue. The memory manipulation is probably a part of why this happens, it may also have something to do with Celes being furthest to the left of the party members on the snowfield map.

There was a glitch I triggered when I was kid still have no idea how it happened. It’s been a while since it happened so memories a bit hazy... I think it was one of the final chasing ultros scenario where you have Relm with you and something happens to where you fall through pits in a cave or something?

This has to do with the Final Fantasy games that were released in North America, compared to the actual release of the Final Fantasy Series. The original Final Fantasy was sent to NA, however 2, 3, and 5 were not, when they ended up sending 4 to NA, we would have only had the first game in the series, so going from Final Fantasy 1 to Final Fantasy 4 would not have made any sense (and the internet was not big at that time). So in NA Final Fantasy 4 became Final Fantasy 2. To complicate things further, Final fantasy 5 was also not released in NA, so again we had the problem when 6 came out, they could not call it Final Fantasy 6, as so far, in NA only FF 1 & 2 (really 4) had been released, so they had to call it Final Fantasy 3. After this they finally got their act together and just started releasing their titles worldwide in the correct order, but during this time this probably caused even more confusion because if you played Final Fantasy 3, and Heard Final Fantasy 7 was coming to Playstation, you would have thought what the heck happened to 4, 5, and 6!
