To be clear, this glitch can duplicate any materia you can obtain up to this point AND on any version of the game. You can even duplicate master materia and KOTR since it is far enough in the game to obtain them.

@@davewebster5120 I wouldn't say it's really "slapped together" so much as these seem to be all oversights that would probably just pop up in one of the first 3d RPGs. The sheer amount of dialogue and scenery you have to direct, combined with the lack of playtesting means that it's almost certainly going to work, just in unintended ways. The scope of RPGs are the difficulty in creating them and FF7 has, objectively, a LOT going on, especially for a time before a lot of standards in the genre were adopted.

That is INSANE that you are still finding cool tricks for FF7 in 2024. You continue to make history man. Mad respect to you, and this is super cool thank you for showing everyone!

I feel like I learn so much from these glitches, & you explain them brilliantly.

Awesome explanation, and I love everything you presented here. Its amazing we now have this GEM of a glitch to utilize. Wanted to put it out that disc chronology don't matter though. In ff7/8/9 the game is actually stored across all disc's, for compatibility reasons, but also because the only reason it had to be broken across three was because of the massive fmvs. The code base otherwise is relatively tiny. I know this because back in the day, my ff game disc's kept getting scratched but if I did a quick disc swap when it got caught up, I could still run the game on a good disc. HOWEVER, the drawback is any scene that requires fmvs WILL crash the game.

Imagine discovering this back in the late 90’s before media services. You would have to write a short book, or record yourself explaining it on VHS. Then send it in to a VG magazine like Electronic Gaming Monthly. If they decide to print it, it would be like a 5-6 page article on how to do it.

I want a t-shirt that says 'Run script 6'

I caught the first demonstration of this on-stream; I'm looking forward to seeing what experimentation they fit in afterward.

This is a really clear demonstration of an extremely niche series of glitches/exploits layering in increasing ways to generate wildly unexpected results. It's also a wonderful demonstration of why logic errors can be notoriously difficult to isolate, and cost prohibitive to fix. This would make an excellent case study for iteratively adding defensive programming to handle and close these windows of glitching opportunity.

They probably never considered that someone would figure out how to: Stick a chocobo in the sand Retrieve a second chocobo from the farm Avoid a soft-lock by boarding Highwind immediately without walking Land on Wutai Dismount the chocobo which spawns the stuck chocobo Trigger Yuffie’s side quest Auto warp back to farm Fight Diamond Weapon Get through Midgar raid Begin disk 3 Resume Yuffie’s side quest Avoid another softlock by keeping her out of the party Progress to a certain point in side quest Put Yuffie in party in correct slot Finish side quest triggering NPC Yuffie and party member Yuffie to give back materia IN THAT ORDER

This pretty cool. Amazing were still discovering stuff 20+yrs later

It's crazy how glitches are still being found for this amazing game :)

a bit like Phantasy Star Online I&II's duplication glitch. basically the glitch can happen because the character, due to a specific setup, can freely move while looking at the items in a shop (which was not intended to happen) and developers did not foresee that. in the end you open up two different menus which both look at your stack of items at hand. in one you drop it, in the other you still have it. then by carefully selecting the right option you deposit the same item in the bank and end up having two copies of the same item: one on the floor (can be picked up) and the other in the bank. I know it's cheating but it can save a crapload of time (especially for rare or powerful items) and it's used in some speedruns.

@59:00 My game crashes after diamond weapon due to the scratches, but if I swap on the fly my Disc 1 inside, the game goes on and when you step out of the scene after the fight it plays Disc 1 cutscenes from Midgar and Golden Saucer, and after the cutscenes are done, I just make another swap back to disc 2 while the game is on and... it just works. It's fun that you see nice gondola rides going and after that guys are terrified about the destruction it caused :D

This is really cool, but I don't like the comments saying it's bad code, it’s not a case of “dumpster code” or bad code, you have to remember they need to be efficient with writing code and pointers. So having them all 6 for example more efficient a different number per character. Also there should be no way that yuffie can be in the party twice so why would they code an edge case for that?

What a time to be alive

I want to watch someone maxed out with all of these materia take on some bosses now. Very cool discovery.

Does this have any real possible speedrun (or other challenge run) potential at this point that we know of? I know you mentioned that it's on the way of the story, but being so close to the end of the game as it is, would the amount of additional time needed for the glitch be worth it for extra copies of end game materia? Either way, incredible that we're still finding new cool shit in this game even in 2024. I'm convinced that this game as well as the n64 zelda games will never truly be fully figured out.

great video but cant you do this too you dont need to be stuck after yuffie steals your materia and you end up back at chocobo farm because by then you could have a gold chocobo and keep it at farm so you can go in and ride it out so that way you will not need to have diamond weapon on map. you can get a gold chocbo as soon as you get the highwind and go round catching the right chocobos you need ( there is a video out showing how to get gold one without having to race as soon as you get highwind)

Shit my disc 1 copy glitched and froze during the sephiroth story at Kalm. Right when the mako soldier falls out of the pod and is laying on the ground. It had a circular scratch all the way around and it wasn't cutting into the poly but it froze that scene in that spot. Super cool find. Still can't believe it. Just started another game so I'll be using your ifirit glitch soon. Thanks man!

And here is me 26 years later after having collected KOTR, Mimic and Tri-cast(I think) and had to master them all x 3 by grinding in high level areas for a week just to kill Emerald and Diamond weapon.

I think we need a video of death playing his old saves on that save card.

Thanks for bringing this glitch back to light. Yes, it existed in both PC versions of the game that required discs the FF7 platinum edition. As well. We would just trade faith files instead of going through it manually each time though. Walking around with all of your characters at level 99. Also was fun.

Unbelievable! What an amazing find, so late. **Victory Theme Plays**

before watching my assumption is this has to do with yuffie warping, let's see.... Couldn't you effectively yuffie warp back to the starting save if you waited to pick her up until after starting this, or...? I'm curious if that would accidentally force certain flags to screw that up, but I'm curious if this is all possible to cycle back since you could retain your stuff that way

I wanna know if you keep 2 Yuffies and Aerith in group. Or the game resets the party members to match that time in events!?
