Here it is, the final segment of Midgar. I completed it in 2007 as I promised, but I had to leave before I could upload it.

This segment was more annoying than I thought and I needed at least 100 attempts before this successful one. First of all, I still have to run almost perfectly and that's tricky in the "difficult terrain" up to the 70th floor. I had to restart many times because I screwed my running early in the segment. That one random battle was nothing to worry about, though. It was always a pre-emptive attack. Every single time.

Then we have the bosses. Hundred Gunner is nothing to worry about, as you only throw Grenades at him, but Heli has the ability to put characters to sleep with his AB Gun and that's very bad. In the original strategy, I was supposed to use both Barret and Red's limit breaks on the first turn, but I had Grenades to spare and a Grenade is much faster than a limit break. In the original strategy, he could put someone to sleep on the second turn without me losing any time, but not with the new strategy.

Next up is Rufus, where the first priority is to kill Dark Nation. He's got 140 HP and Braver did 134-142 damage. In other words, I needed some luck here too. I actually lost two seconds in this battle because Dark Nation opened the battle with Barrier. The best would be if Rufus opened the battle with his shotgun, but that didn't seem to happen very often, so I didn't care.

After the battle, I just had to pray that I could reach Tifa without getting into a battle. Thankfully, I didn't.

  • Its a funny thing, i started my first ever speed run today and i made it to this part but forgot to use clouds limit break on dark nation!!!! i ended up not even killing the dang thing and had 89 HP at the end of the battle. HOWEVER: i did get into a battle on my way to tifa and escaped with 1 HP!!!!! i saved at the world map clocking at 2:14. Keep up the great work, i love your videos.

  • Hehe, that's lucky. I too have survived a few battles with 1 HP during my many challenges.

    Anyway, 2:14 is a pretty good time for your first speed run. Keep this up and you'll easily beat the game in 10 hours.

  • where is your speedrun published?

  • I currently hold the record and I am very nervous that Garland might beat me. He was 2 seconds faster than me in this segment which means that he is only 1 minute and 4 seconds behind me now.

  • Omg FF6 I was like 8-9years old when I played that :D man that game was the Shit back then :D, Good times ^^
