UPDATE 08-07-2023: Kaya got a 4:28:42 on PC. With two (very short) deaths. So I guess he CAN keep getting away with it.
In Taiwan , almost nobody understand the complexity of FF13 battle . Two years ago I found the official japanese guide . Those are 2 thick books , very detailed. And I read them very happily but no one I can share . So when I found this brilliant video . I am so happy . It’s like knowing there are other people really like FF13 !
u can beat the vast majority of the game by pressing x
@@rs3daily587is that all you need to do to beat these records? Who would have thought 🤦♂️
@@AB-ee5tb i said records?
what level of autism do you have??🤡
@@rs3daily587 Correct! the game is actually rather easy to find the easiest path through when it comes to the combat. However, the difficulty and challenge comes from optimizing it. You can easily get THROUGH the game's combats, but doing so quickly or stylishly can be incredibly rewarding. It's an example of a game with a low skill floor, and a high skill ceiling.
@AB-ee5tb nobody cares about these gay records
98% of Ff players just beat it cause it's FF
13 was hot garbage
Words can't describe how much fun I had routing this game with everyone in the community, and I'm so grateful to see you put the effort into putting this together. Even though I've been in the community for so long now, I still learned a ton. Thank you!
Words cant describe how glad i am that actual humans beings in 2023 actually enjoys this game without dismissing it as the worst ff game
@@alexandremontesinos7876like yeah it has bad stuff but ppl are acting like it’s unplayable or smth💀
@@idealandthereal8090same. I love the game! I’m playing it and am grinding to beat the final boss, but the grind itself is also fun!
Nah its pretty universal that ff2 is the worst... this one is just down there...@alexandremontesinos7876
If you enjoyed this video, you are now legally obligated to run FF13.
I don't make the rules.
(unless we're talking about the leaderboard rules, I do sometimes make those)
nice video, I guess I have to run it now (again). Thanks!
I’ve already tried, but I find it impossible to get past Barthandelus 2 on the run
I never ran anything seriously in my life besides trying to beat my own times very casually as a kid on my PS1 games like RE3 and MGS1 😅 I think I'll pass. It's just fascinating to see what lenghts people go to to excell at games like this.
This was honestly a remarkable watch, thanks for letting me aware of this in my favourite game.
This was a grand watch. This game is way too underappreciated.
Thanks for all the work, that was an amazing watch.
XIII is one of my favourite games. I wish I could kick myself in the butt and finally give the speedrun a go. I've been meaning to since forever.
Love this game with all my heart and Ive followed alot of speedrunning in the whole series. Respect on your effort put into FFXIII content in 2023
absolutely legendary video. thank you so much for all your hard work researching and presenting this
That was an interesting watch. Thanks for putting it together!
so happy to see this. I had always wondered if XIII had a speedrunning community but never looked into it and some of the strats in this video have blown me away, i thought i knew everything about that game but it turns out there's always new stuff to learn!
If you think this run is something, there is another speedrun for XIII which is Plat%.
Basically going for the platinum trophy and I’ve watched a couple of videos of runs on that.
LogicDolphin (aka LewdDolphin) does that too and posted runs of it.
Edit: The run I remember of it was 18 and a half hours long.
yeah that sounds about right@@scottishboy112
Thank you so much for sharing the fascinating history of this speedrun!
This was such a great video! So much research and knowledge, really impressed at how thorough it is. Not sure if you have plans to make any more content similar to this, but if you ever do, i'll be in line to watch it!
such a fun watch and told such a great story through killer knowledge and a great edit!
High quality video on par with Summoning Salt that deserves more views
My thoughts exactly!
Incredible video homie. Loved every second!
This is one of the best summaries of FF13 Any% Speedrun MrZwanzig, thank you very much 😊
god i remember being there watching MLSTRM doing runs. seems like so long ago now. hes the guy that really cemented my love not only for ff13 but also speedrunning in general. an amazing video and incredibly interesting nice work!
amazing video! great work!!
This was an interesting watch. This run has been on my list to look into for a while now. Also unexpected but very welcome use of The Blitzers music at 1:24:18
love this game, love this run, thank you so much!
Thanks for putting everything together. 🎉
This video was a work of unbridled passion. Great watch.
Awesome vid man. This is just insane
Fantastic work mate, absolutely outstanding effort from all the runners for creating an excellent story, and the use of the music from various games in the series was very fitting. WHAT GAME IS NEXT
Very well made video my man. Good job.
Excellent video in every way!
good shit, bro.
Beautiful video. Hope you make more
Sportlov is the swedish word for spring break, haha.
Absolutely amazing video, these speedrun videos are always a treat, especially whenever it's one of the runners themselves making it.
Really hope this blows up, it deserves every bit of it
Great video! this game is one of my favorite PS3 games.
That intro music always hits me hard. Thanks for the video!
About time you served me this video, TH-cam algorithm! Great video!
Thank you for the video former FF9 god Mrzwanzig
Heyyyy I've heard you on the Every F'n FF Podcast! Fantastic video!
Nice vid!
lovely video! it’s fun for a change to see a speedgame which is more about executing the mechanics than exploiting glitches, and i wouldn’t have guessed ff13 to be one of those
Oh my god, I can't believe it. A speedrunner who actually pronounces GameFAQs correctly! I didn't think such a thing existed!
I can't even begin to tell you how good it feels to not have to hear "gameFACKKKKS".
I love 13. I have played every ff except the mmo and it’s one of my favourites. I just love the combat system.
Great video. Thanks for the prebed entertainment.
We should be doing more to make sure youtube recommends this to speed docs viewers. I had to find this on my own
Algorithm does algorithm things. I'm just happy the people who have seen it seem to enjoy it. :D
This game was my introduction to actual hands on experience with a FF game , never got around to them on the gameboy as a kid , but i loved this game when i got it , i made it my mission to platinum this game and fell in love at the age of like 13 with my own version of speedrunning all missions against friends .
I was so hapoy seeing this in my recommended. I live jrpg speedruns because they are long traditionally but somehow speedrunners are able to turn 20 plus hour games into just a half a day of work. Greta video.
This is my favorite game of all time!
For no real reason I decided to see a FFXIII speedrun knowing that even with a gestion plan or skipable cutscenes, a game as lineal as this should need at least 10 hours to be beaten, especcially because how dodging in those corridors is impossible and being underleveled makes it almost imposible go go on in many ways, but seeing a sub 5 hours, let alone the 4:29 was surprising.
And just like that, I see this video posted almost two months ago. If I wanted to see the speedrun two months beforeI would completely miss this great video. Now I can see the speedrun knowing how much effort was put there.
Awesome!
Zwanzig told me he was going to make a FF13-2 history video! I'm excited for it
What a coincidence! Chris told me he's going to upload a playthrough of Doki Doki Literature Club.
The Snow-getting-in part is so twisted !
Sazh's greatness extends even to the game's speedrun community. Is there anything this guy can't do?
around 19:30 when you jump from classic to modern footage, holy shit.
I've just got this on in the background while I work and at 56:23 I hear lumpy space princess.
I think FF13 is so underated and overly hated. Even the sequel and lighting returns were pretty good to me. Seeing how it was "speedran" over time was great.
Great video, have a question tough.
The Xbox 360 is the slower version on it's original hardware, but if you played the 360 version on Serie S or X wouldn't it theorically be faster than the PS3 version ?
Correct, it is the fastest version barring PC. A leaderboard for it exists, but there are barely any runs on it, so I didn't think it worth mentioning.
My only experience with the PC port of FFXIII was recently as I no longer have my PS3 to play my original copy of the game. I would have never imagined the PC version was how this game was run for a while. The modern experience of trying to get that game to run is appalling on Steam. I couldn't even make it through chapter 1. Really want to replay it so hoping they do a remaster or something on PS5.
Why do you think I exclusively run PS3? :D
That intro theme makes me feel strange, but nice
Honestly I would love to see you cover other FFs when it comes to speedrunning. Heard FF2 on Nes was completely to abuse with glitches galore back in the day. That or seeing you cover FF8 or Tactics.
First of all, I'm glad you enjoyed the video so much that you'd want more.
That being said, it's very unlikely that I will make more videos. The reason this video exists is simply that I wanted it to exist, and no one else seemed likely to make it anytime soon. I'm really happy with the result.
It took me about 4 months to make, not including editing, which I didn't do myself as I have no experience or interest in it. I don't really enjoy the production process, so think I could only invest this amount of energy once, for the game that I'm most passionate about.
As a recommendation, DoctorSwellman makes fantastic videos about RPG speedruns, so he'll certainly make more about FF games in the future (when I announced this project, he called dibs on 13-2, for one). His video about Crystal Chronicles was a big inspiration for me while making this.
I actually preferred 13 over 13 2 and LR, platting it was awesome
What about the Xbox One/Series X version of the game? You don't need to disc swap with those, and from what I've read they generally perform better than the PC version, especially on Series X.
On a side-note, I love the idea that Barthandolous has put together all these grand schemes to force the heroes to get stronger, and they're just like "nah, we're strong enough thanks" XD
I'm not terribly familiar with the newer Xbox ports, but from what I've been told they are faster than the other console versions, but slower than PC, though probably with more consistent performance.
I didn't mention them here because it's even more of a wasteland than 360. We have a combined leaderboard for them, but it currently houses only a single 10 hour run. Guess there's just not much overlap between Xbox owners and people wanting to speedrun 13.
Honestly it's surprising even that PS3 has remained as competitive as it has. Overall the vast majority of runners have been on PC for years now, so it would have probably died off after I first got the record if not for Serena showing up and happening to prefer PS3.
I recently completed some runs on Xbox Series X and hold the record there for now with a 6:56:11, but I am the only active runner there right now!
And the song hits the same as the first day🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Most underrated title of all time.
Maybe i should be a speedrunner. I play casual but everytime i watch one of these videos, i see lots of tricks i regularly use
People may not like ff13 but I think I played it at the right time. I was playing a bunch open world games and it was getting bland and I gave ff13 a try and was happy that it was linear. It's not not my top favorites but ff13-3 is and therefore it kinda squeezes in cuz it's part of the trilogy
I can't believe its been 13 years..god I'm old
It was the most ambitious title on the platform, and square project ever.
Most of the complaints for the game are borderline nitpicking,My only major complaint is the main villain's story wasn't communicated well in game.
Also Final Fantasy at it's core is experimental,I prefer XIII over X
Same
I agree that thirteen doesn’t deserve all the hate BUT ff 10 is my favorite story line of all time
Will you do one on ff13-2?
No, I'm not planning to. DoctorSwellman has expressed some interest in covering it though, so definitely check out his channel if you're not already familiar. He does incredible work.
And here I am trying to get 0.00 on FFX chocobo race in the calm lands.
hum, is it allowed for speedruns to run the PS3 version from an SSD? i currently have my PS3 slim with an SSD and my copy of FXIII ripped to the SSD to not use the disc.
That's not actually a question that has come up before. Just using an SSD normally doesn't seem to matter for FF13, since it reads everything from disc anyway, but I imagine actually installing it on there would provide an advantage.
However, since this can't be done through legitimate means, I imagine it would have to be banned.
@@mrzwanzig460Welp, i think that taking into account that more and more discs will disappear, get damaged etc, playing a "legally" ripped copy should be allowed for speedrunning, noting that it should be your own legally obtained copy of the game.
As I said I own my game legally, since the disc is clearly used, only "illegal" stuff i did is install an hybrid firmware on my PS3 Slim, and using one of the tools included on the firmware i copied the data on my disk to the internal SSD of the console to avoid using the disk and possibly damaging it, as far as i know that data is pure and untouched.
Someone knows what happened with LuchoDreamer?
God, i love this dumb game so much ❤
Do people run on the Xbox One/Series consoles?
Barely. We have a leaderboard section for it, but it has seen almost no activity.
I recently completed some runs on Xbox Series X and hold the record there for now with a 6:56:11, but I am the only active runner there right now!
I LOVE everything about the 13 trilogy. It is the last true Final Fantasy in my book. I’ll keep playing mainline final fantasies as they come out but 13 is the last that made me feel the way FINAL FANTASY can make a fan that has played every ff game feel, and that’s impossible to explain. I wish ff13 got even a fraction of the absurd level of letting it slide on flaws that ff16 is currently experiencing.
I've never understood the hate for this game, "linear" sure if you just stare at the map you'll get that feeling I guess. The environments are beautiful and dynamic enough to not feel boring personally and combat is always a joy, it sure feels like "auto battle" at the start but its entirely necessary to give you a grip on the combat slowly ramping it up each chapter. Internet loves to be a hivemind ig
im someone who absolutely adores this game but to be fair theres not really a whole lot to do in each area and thats where i think the whole "linear" thing stems from, for instance other entries were fairly linear as well but its rarely ever brought up as a criticism because they still had npcs, sidequests, shops etc. to fill out the worlds, as for the gameplay i completely agree, its my favorite combat system in the series for a reason
I always found it weird how FF13 got so much hate for its linearity and lack of minigames n stuff to do. But FF7R was praised endlessly. I am a massive FF7 fan and I think FF13 and FF15 are better games than FF7R.
I dont understand how people keep bashing this game for its linearity yet ff7 remake gets prays left and right when its indeed even worse on that aspect. And i am talking as someone who loves BOTH .
Because ff7 = EXTREME nostalgia goggles.
And instead of playing 13 people read the reviews and made up their mind.
Like, just the music is amazing
Because FFVIIR is an actual good game with good characters, good story, good combat and so on.
FIFTYFOUR!
AND A TRAP!
FYI the refresh also works if you use a full ATB bar after using the refreshed one. Can be less than 12 seconds
AMONG US!!!!!
waiting for the day Lightning is used for endgame haha jk 😢
Funny you should say that. While she'll never be optimal as part of the main party, in the last month or two there has actually been a new strat development of using her specifically for the Bulwarker fight in chapter 12! Odin is really good. 😄
Uhhh btw none of your links work in the description
Apparently external links are an "advanced feature", which TH-cam hasn't seen fit to bestow upon my channel, so you'll have to make do with copy pasting the URLs. Apologies for the inconvenience.
@@mrzwanzig460 gotcha YT moment lol
is no one trying to just kill orphan with death . I believe he is killable in that way but if not mb ill shut up.
You're not entirely wrong. Orphan 2 specifically is vulnerable to Death, though only when staggered. But your chances of landing it are still quite bad, and even if you would land it first try every time, it isn't worth it because you would have to lead with Vanille, which is MUCH worse for the previous two fights, not to mention the sacrifices you'd have to make in the Crystarium to afford it.
41:02 "gifted him the PC he needed" ... wat ?
The game was made for elite gamers and the public didn't like it, also it made the mistake of not being FF7R.
"Elite gamers" Dude, I beat this game when I was 11. Use the ravage paradigm, then assault, and change to medic if needed, that's 99% of the game's encounters.The reason is so hated upon is its clear focus on linearity and lack of exploration, going back to areas, etc. It's not a bad game, but secluding by saying a group of people don't like it because is for "elite gamers" is just so far off.
@@PmirumIt takes more skill to enjoy the game, than to beat it. Move along pleb.
Fascinating how such an aggressively mediocre game can be such a good speed game.
i have a speedrun for this game also i turn on wait 3 seconds then turn off
You should do stand up comedy
My speed run is 0000 because I made the good choice not to play such a bad writing and yes autobattle is the best function.
wooooow, i can't believe people can disrespect this masterpiece so much. why would you do this to a game? cant you just play the game properly and and enjoy the story. this is why i hate speedrunners. desecrating great games like this by abusing the game in ways the developers never intented. i am frankly disgusted.
WTF, in contrast to many other speedruns, in ffxiii as far as I know zero glitches or other exploits are used during a run. The game IS played the way it was intended to be played.
@@AndreasFleissner they skip the cutscenes the developers put hard work into, what would the devs say if they found out some people skip the cutscene they worked months, just because they want to "save time". its a disgrace. the game devs put their blood, sweat and tears into this game, only for some people to just skip entire portions of it"s story.
@@plainjane8235 I am sure they have seen the cutscenes more often than a casual player, who only plays the game once and then never again.
@@AndreasFleissner well, i've been replaying the game at least once every year, and i've yet to feel like skipping the cutscenes. whats the point of playing the game if you are gonna skip the story?
@@plainjane8235 The point is the gameplay in those cases.
The 2nd worse ff next to 15.
