GarlandG's Final Fantasy VII Speed Run - Segment 15 (Part 2)

This part starts with the marching, but the most annoying part of the segment comes before that. You have to run into the alley without getting stuck on one of the soldiers and that's not an easy thing to do with this camera angle. I don't know how many times I had to restart there.

If you manage to hit the alley, you get to do some marching. It's easy if you practice it, but it can just as easily go wrong too. The % when you get in line with the other soldiers can vary a lot. I've seen it as low as 21 and as high as 38. You really want it to be at least 25, or it can be hard to get to 50. However, I had one attempt where it started on 35 and for some reason, I could only get to 48, even though I did everything like I could.

If you survive the marching, the rest of the segment is pretty simple. You must practice how to navigate Cloud on the boat, but that's it. I used to talk to Tifa before saving, but that ladder is the most annoying thing ever and it made me screw up an extremely good attempt back in January. That's the main reason why I wasn't in the mood to work on the run for the next couple of months. And finally, the save point was stupid again. I always ran straight through it, no matter what. No big deal, though.

Is this speed run ever gonna be continued?

[GarlandTheGreat]

Yes, it will. I just needed a LONG break, but I'll get back to it. After all, I have promised to finish it by 16th February, 2011.

[rohypnolxcore]

Still loving the speedrun.

Can't wait till you get further into the game!

Are you going to do more of this now?

[GarlandTheGreat]

Yes, I'm already working on the next segment, which hopefully will be posted by the end of the weekend. But after that, there are two very luck reliant segments (need to steal Right Arms from Bombs as quickly as possible), so be prepared for a long break again then.

On running through the Save Point: I found during my run, that if I was able to stop on a dime in the save point (when it didn't stop me with the pop up window), when I loaded from that file, I was stopped by the pop up window on my way out of the save point, wasting time either way. What I did, was purposefully run through the save-points, so that I wouldn't get the window every time I played from that save point. I don't know if you found this as well, but I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[GarlandTheGreat]

Good day, Farringa! It's been a while.

Anyway, I found out about the save point issue in segment 3 or 4. In one of these segments, I suddenly got the save point message after loading up and then I was able to run straight trough the next save point.

Wow. I've never noticed Red XIII hiding in the background before.

[ryancouture]

whats the significance of that date?

[aThanat0s]

I started watching from the beginning about 3 hours ago, skipping parts here and there. Saw the date "2007" and was like "Oh this is kinda old" and then I got here and noticed you're...still...doing this. Who wastes 2+ years of their free-time with such a frivolous and stressful run?

Good luck, but it's kinda...you know...yeah.

To all the people having trouble with the marching segment at the very beginning:

My main problem was mashing O too fast. Apparently you CAN press it too fast, after I slowed down, the ratings finally started to skyrocket. Follow what he does in the video and press it at a moderately fast pace and you'll eventually get it. ^^

[tuttaropattar]

Väntar en smula otåligt Garland. Ser verkligen fram emot att se dig förnedra Demon's Gate, Schizo och Carry Armor på låga levlar i warpspeed.

[squire636]

Good luck Garland, long time no talk. I've been thinking about doing another speed run this summer, I'll let you know if I decide to do so. Can I ask why you picked that date to finish the run?

[ZidaneTribal93]

When comes more?

[werboweckjybahamut]

Actually you can easily get 255 magic without any sources...
