How I got Terra to L99 in Narshe Caves

[wbyyo]

cool, i prefer get levels by cheating until the level i want for example start at level 5 and gain levels legacy and until i can't win just gain 4,5,6 levels until i can beat the point i'm at

[WhiskersMctabby]

cool, i never thought of trying this.....

[deusprogrammer]

Shame she didn't have any espers.

[deusprogrammer]

Your poor yellowing SNES =(

[TonRobo]

To do this you need to save the game at the begining, then progress until the Lethe River (the River where you find Ultros the first time), there, begin to loop infinitely, only killing monsters and gaining exp. When you get to level 99, kill yourself and then you will come back to where you saved, the begining, and as you will maintain the level, you'll be level 99. (;-D)

Tricks: If you're using an emulator, you can save states until the Lethe River, and use the Fast Forward + Turbo Button.

[PokeymanTrainer]

I don't get it, what's the Lete River trick?

[MrAddition1]

Technically he did not cheat. All he did was progress through the game normally until Lete River and used that (and probably other) spot to level up to 99 then killed himself thus resetting the game but not his level.

[chall2e]

11 min. to playing ?

@NocturnePower666

When you die, the game start automatically with the last save and the game keeps only the stats and lvl not the steps...so its normal that he have only 215 steps. With my emulator i played since kefka tower using only the speed save (from the emulator) and when i died the game bringed me back to the last save point maded in game (near figaro) with the lvl 99 but the steps were reseted....so i don't know if it could proove that he cheated.

[NocturnePower666]

Fake: 215 steps.....

[thwyter]

@NocturnePower666

see my GBA version and/or try it for yourself - your more then welcome to try and disprove it

[magitek09]

Inconcebible, pero cierto. Wow

[tntrance]

dammit thought it was some kin dof cheat/glitch..

[Chaoitcme]

I would not advise doing this. You will miss out on getting status boosts from Espers later in the game. I you want to max your characters then do not do this.

[mikethered123]

It's not fake, but it is a colossal waste of time, and gimps your characters anyway as they won't have esper bonuses for any of their levels.

[TGArthur]

this is obviously an emulator used once the screen is zoomed in

[Sertitude123]

WTF? You said Final Fantasy 2 right? Because i saw cecil kain rydia rosa edge and i think its the 4th one lol

[CBear47]

@Sertitude123 You are really, really slow.

[Sertitude123]

@CBear47 What do you mean?

[CBear47]

@Sertitude123 FFII(US)=FFIV. Says so in the video, sorta, by saying it's FFII (US). *sigh*

[Sertitude123]

@CBear47 Im sorry i didnt knew lol :P

[NeoTifasRevenge]

There's an additional exploit in the GBA version that involves quick-saving as well as using this exploit to actually get Terra better stats with a lower level, the concept is pretty much the same though, but the GBA quicksave exploit gets you a lot better stats in the long run.

[Adamwaddum]

This is obviously legit, I mean, look how much of a goon this guy is.

[Fonzzie37]

Okay, I saw the SNES controller, and it looked to be a turbo one, so I can understand that one. But I read reviews of the GBA FFVI, and it specifically stated that you can't employ the turbo glitch.

I mean, I'm not above a little riverleveling, but really, did you just mash the button for a few days straight, or did you actually go out and level to 99 solo in the forest? Either way, you're crazy, and I respect and fear you just a little.

[BlazingNetwork]

Final* Not Fanal.

[gamecreator912]

wow blow the dust off that thing lol

[Xerxes4242]

Yeah, her stats are fucking terrible, this would make her weaker in the long run

[billthetaxman89]

I wanted to say cheat, but then i rememebered, when you use a GG it levels up all your characters...not just one...

[a656415]

It would take longer to do this vs just playing the game through like normal....

[Xellos357]

@a656415 LOL you're either an idiot or you never played this game before!! it takes HOURS to level a character from level 50 to level 99, now try doing that with 16 characters at the end of the game, that's x16 HOURS.

honestly it probably takes like 4-6 hours (i don't quite remember because it's been like 12 years) to level one character from 50-99 in the tyro forest times that by 16 is like 4+ days! LOL

[auroneka]

cheat absolutely

[auroneka]

cheat absolutely

[SexyUmaga23]

it's an easy trick but it takes a lot of time! first just save your game at the first save point of the game which is in narshe mines! then, never save your game again and go trough the game until you reach world of ruin! there level up terra to level 99! after this, let you die and you will back at the first save point because you didn't saved your after that save! the levels remain even if you die!

[konkakonkadudu]

@SexyUmaga23

True, you preserve your exp level after death, but you still lose all level up bonuses from espers, so even though you're at...say... level 80, that is the default level 80. I learned that the hard way when level grinding in WoR and accidentally died without saving. Because of that, my character at the time never reached 9999 HP.

[ben2point0]

Did you notice how fast that game loaded up! fuck my ps3 I'm getting my SNES outta the closet haha

[lolsa123]

i want this on iphone! god i miss the old FF :(

[diameinz]

fake... game genie used

[XCRAZY1992X]

how many days did it take you to level up at the start of the game

[thwyter]

Combining the days I really spent on it, about 3 days. The first two was spent leveling on the river. and the third was spent playing it thought to the dinosaur forest. Again, I did NOT cheat.

[TriforceSD]

Also, if you went so far as to do this, you should have never saved at all so you can exploit the trick that resets your levels. Max out your stats..

[LeviathanMist]

@TriforceSD That trick only works on the GBA version, as it involves the Quicksave feature not present on the SNES version.

[heffy187]

@LeviathanMist then why did he videotape it working on snes

[LeviathanMist]

@heffy187 Wow, learn to read. If you noticed, I was responding to someone's comment, not responding to the video.

[TriforceSD]

Haha. Your FFIII manual has seen better days.

[goodnobakes]

good job! I hate leveling up. :P

[diameinz]

this is fake. using the method he is showing the 2 soldiers would have leveled up as well.

[goodnobakes]

I did the same thing... it IS real... the method he's showing, you don't have vicks and wedge when you do the major leveling...

[SoulVotik]

@diameinz He went through the entire game leveling many characters (at least 3 others most likely) and then died. C'mon, you're not that stupid are you?

[cobbil]

I wouldn't wanna do this. You miss out on magicite bonuses, don't you?

[thwyter]

Yes you loose out with the espers, however you at 99 so it would not make a difference.

[drumstyx6464]

i hate the yellowing that happens to a lot of snes's mine was one of few that didn't

[OmegasMovie]

Niiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccccccee­eeeeeeeee =D

[darkstaley]

Again, very good job.

[finalfantasy4VI]

Still dosent say how to do the trick

[thwyter]

I saved in the Narshe Mine.

I played the game NORMALLY without saving.

I did a bit a leveling on the river,

I reached level 99 in the World of Ruin by fighting in the dinosaur forest.

At that point I purposely died which bought Terra back into the last save point that was recorded - the Narshe Mines.

There is no real trick to it, it's just take time to do it, but is worth it so every time you play, you don't have to worry about leveling.

[Ulttimaa]

Oh my. The entire game without saving? I suppose it's not the HARDEST thing to do, but it had to have been tedious as all hell.

I guess, then again, you could've just shut off the TV to take a break etc.

[WhitemageSerenia]

@thwyter I wouldn't really say its worth it to be honest, its kinda neat sure, but it takes the fun out of the game to me, to each their own though. I certainly wouldn't take the time to do this, I actually like leveling up and getting stronger each time I play the game. Interesting find though.

[TheBlazeMaster]

@finalfantasy4VI yeah like i dont understand the 'trick'

[CordJackson1]

nice work
