@@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.

@rafaeldasilvaromero3362 11 месяцев назад

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.

@Someguyhere111 Год назад

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

@mrzwanzig460 Год назад

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.

@nilsmerlinlinde 8 месяцев назад

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!

@nesoukkefka1741 8 месяцев назад

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 ?

@mrzwanzig460 8 месяцев назад

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.

@Back2Bay6 2 месяца назад

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.

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.

@mrzwanzig460 Год назад

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.

@unlimitedslash 3 месяца назад

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.

@mrzwanzig460 3 месяца назад

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.

@unlimitedslash 3 месяца назад

@@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.

@ribbitcoffee-x-tea7723 3 месяца назад

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

@AntiRiku 3 месяца назад

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

@davidsomoza 5 месяцев назад

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 .

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.

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.
