Final Fantasy VII - 8:39 @ Final Save (NOT World Record)



Uploaded by: GarlandTheGreat
Video Description:
There are a couple of videos showing a low time at the bottom of the Northern Crater, but I have the lowest one beat with almost an hour, so I thought I'd upload it. Take note that this is an old speed run where I used really outdated strategies, so this is nowehere near the world record. I'm in the process of beating this, with a goal of beating the game in less than 8 hours. You can watch my progress here:
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=D305DAD36259178E The current world record is 7:26:37 at the final save on the bottom of the crater, held by the Ultimania guys. However, this record was set with Japanese version of the game, which is faster because of their use of symbols isntead of letter
. These symbols make text skipping quicker and you gain a total of 8 minutes overall throughout the game, so this time equals 7:34:37 in the North American version. It should also be mentioned that they most likely exploited certain glitches, so it cannot be compared to a glitch free run. In additi
on to this, a guy named Andrew Farrington (aka Farringa) has beaten the PC version in 7 hours and 41 minutes. That's the entire game and not just his time at the final save. However, the PC version is a lot faster than the PS version, so his time cannot be compared to the PS world record. He didn't
really put much effort into the run until Cosmo Canyon, so it's far from perfect. This entire run can be downloaded here: http://speeddemosarchive.com/FinalFantasy7.html The second file I show is a lowest level challenge. Even challenges like these can be done in less than 12 hours. If you don't
think this is possible... no, wait, I'm not even gonna bother. Some people didn't even believe the game could be beaten in 13 hours, so I'm bound to get some stupid cheater accusations on this one. I like to laugh at ignorance, so just bring it on!

He's only saying that to be an ass. At least I hope so, because if he really means what he says, I feel sorry for him.

To each, his own, I guess. Speed running certainly isn't for anyone. But as much as I like challenges, I like to do perfect files now and then to.

Well,could not be a world record as you say,but definetly is a kickass work.Plus is on a ps and not japanese,so the result is magnificent anyway.But you're tryng to beat it in a more less time right?Keep it up!^-^

Thats a CHEAT or BUG!!! Minimum time to finish this game is 30 hours and something!!!

Minimum time is 30 hours eh? I'll tell you what. Either you admit that you don't know everything about FFVII, or you explain to me in detail how you came to that conclusion. Prove it to me, and I'll remove this video.
Sure is impossible ... ( 4 months ago by bambataa4ever)
Sure is impossible and it would not even be fun to play that fast. U will notting understand from the story!!! Final Fantasy is not a game where u play for time!!! Its not a race game!!!
FFS why everyone ... ( 4 months ago by KHSephyChallenger)
FFS why everyone says those people cheat!!! Why would they do that? "Z0mg!!!11 It is impossibel to beat taht game less than 30 hours!!!111 CHE4t3RRR" Just shut up man, if you don't believe this keep it to yourself, don't flame the guy. Speed runs are made for this: Beating the game really fast, NOT enjoy or understand it! This is a prerequisite to a speed run.
Anyway Garland Gj, and although you claim its not WR i'd like to see a better time video as a response to that one ;).

I know a guy who's got 7:59 at the final save, but I'm not sure he still has the file. That's not the world record, but it's the best known time with the PAL version. I'l ask him if he can do a video :)

Sure,but this is a SpeedRun.You could care less about the story!Especially because the SpeedRun is done after some plays of normal game.That's what i was talking about.

But some1 must really sick who is doing speed run by a game like Final Fantasy... I would understand if it was a racing game or something like that!!!

Everyone has interests.And they are different.If one loves FF,i don't see anything bad in playng as he wishes,even doing Speedruns,wich believe me are very hard to do in FF.And he must be not sick,on the contraire,he,in this case Garland,has superior knowledge of this game.He sure finished it lots of time,and he is getting fun on doing this Speedrun.That's all dude!!!:)
It's his game, he ... ( 3 months ago by InsaneIncorporated)
It's his game, he can do whatever he likes with it. He's not a "sick" person for attempting something like this, in fact you'd have to really enjoy the game to put forth so much time and effort to complete a run like this.

Ignore the idiots. They're simply in disbelieving awe.

If it's so impossible, then why don't you watch the video and read the commentary. Even without horrendous amounts of luck manipulation (read: reloading from a save) in order to avoid random battles and wind the timer down, FFVII is a very easy game to finish in under 10 hours if you know how.

I have 15 parts of my new speed run uploaded. This one will be even better, with a final time of less than 8 hours.
