“In Final Fantasy IX speedrunning”…

*Legend of Dragoon music plays*

[Sylleath]

I got subconsciously angry watching this as I recently had a run where I was 4 mins behind, then 3 mins head, but to settled for 20 sec PB on HD

[blueguitarthings]

That muttski tetra master clip really hammers home how fair and balanced that card game is

[cursedaudio]

That's an interestingly brave way to pronounce Burmecia

[themajesticotter]

I didn't know it was a 6% chance for the mage masher. When the game first came out it took me like 3 tries and I was gold. When I revisited the game I think I was in the corner crying 'Why!?' after my 200th attempt to steal it.

[RageGS]

Insane to think that speedrunners complete the game in 8 hours but they want you to complete the game normally in 12 hours to get Excalibur II lmao

[TheSpoonyFox]

I always pronounced it Burr-mee-see-ah, I've never heard it called Burr-mek-ee-ah. lol Feels like a Tidus vs. Teedus moment for me.

FF9 Speedruns aren't a real speedrun until they include 1, 000 jump rope challenge

Me, 26 years later, just now:

Wait, its the iifa tree? All this time I thought it was the Lifa tree!

[TheAuron]

Nova Dragon is basically FF9's Carry Armour, if Carry Armour gets a double Lapis Laser its game over and there is nothing you can do about it, like Ozmas Meteor, it the game just says "no, now die"

[Siinory]

I remember seeing the SGDQ 2013 run for FFIX, never in my life knew there were SO MUCH RNG!

[opus]

Arc losing to a Fang in Tetra Master just about sums that game up lmaooo

[OooEeOooAhAh]

I really enjoyed the balance of blue and grey menus in this video

Blue IS THE ONLY WAY!

[adammclaughlin]

I figured stutter running out for myself when these games came out, because the encounter rate in FF9 is so insane you can barely make progress in some areas. It was maddening to explore and solve puzzles without cheesing the game in this way.

[titusr]

RPGs are games, where you're supposed to take your time and slowly progress. The fact that people are still willing to do 5+ hour long runs that are mostly dependant on luck is crazy to me. Mad respect!

[NeopetsLife]

The Muttski stream where he died to Deathguise left me at a loss for words that day. It was rough

[drowningin]

I’ve played this game more than any other game. Beat it around 30 times, and just played different parts before dropping hundreds of times. But I’ve absolutely refused to rush through it to get Steiners ultimate weapon. I hate rushing through rpgs so this sounds like hell

[ericdombrowski]

Love the opening using Legend of Dragoon soundtrack, great video!

[yams]

I NEVER knew you could use Tents in battle! Let alone it causing status effects

[YamiOnYouTube]

Currently doing the 100% Trophy Run and FF9 is quite unforgiving 😢.. Great video again! 🔥
