Final Fantasy VI Speedrun (Glitchless Any%) - 5:13:24 (Clean Recording)
Description
Played on October 23, 2016.
Final Fantasy VI SNES version, played on North American SNES console (modded for component video output) with OEM controller (no turbo). Timing is from selecting New Game to the start of Kefka's death animation.
"Glitchless" means that Joker Doom and Vanish-Doom (which can instantly kill enemies/bosses regardless of immunity to instant death attacks) are not used, along with NPC/event trigger phasing glitches that can be used to skip part of Locke's World of Balance scenario and certain Kefka's Tower minibosses.
This run started as a 100% (all characters/Espers) attempt, which is why Kirin was picked up - I switched to Any% after getting a good enough World of Balance for a chance at an Any% PB. This was a very good run for the time, but is now pretty improvable due to some better step routing and faster boss strats. I would eventually like to grind for at least a sub-5:10.
