5:10 I vivdly remember this actually happened to me when I was playing the PC version in 1998. I couldn't beat Demon's Gate so I left the Temple of the Ancients to get more EXP, then I recruited Yuffie and got warped back in the boss battle. I was just 11-12 and already frustrated by that fight I couldn't win and when I got warped I got scared shitless.

I remember being on vacation, and watching/participating in neohart’s stream with everyone working on the battle mode + yuffie warp into the debug room. Something i hope to never forget was such a cool moment to be part of, even if my only usable suggestion was to use movers to lvl up and use 4x cut over coin spam. Great video really brings back some cool memories. Maybe one day I’ll double back and do ff7 og speed runs and not just remake speed runs lol.

[@DavidRomigJr]

The memory not clearing after a game over on PC reminds me when porting Soldier of Fortune from PC to PS2, we ran into an interesting issue where the BSS section (uninitialized data) was initializing data to 0’s on the PC but left data unchanged on the PS2 causing strange issues during porting. Now, you should always assume uninitialized data is uninitialized, but the PC version assumed initialization to 0’s at parts because Windows programs typically do that. We fixed our issues by explicitly initializing such data to 0’s. This sounds like that, data handling differences between systems.

[@jordanr3320]

Just wanted to stop by and say thank you for this video. So incredibly well done and broken down perfectly to help understand it. Keep up the great work!

[@tntradernox3654]

After all these years it’s amazing that 4-8 can still come up with original content for one of my oldest favorite game. I’ve watching his video’s for at least 10 years and every time he uploads something I get exciting knowing it’s going to be fresh, even now.

[@FuzzfingerGaming]

Great video. The original 1998 PC version was the edition of the game I owned and it took a lot of work back in the day to get it to run well on my PC. I had to beg my parents for a new soundcard and had to upgrade to 32mb RAM, but it worth it! That first playthrough of FF7 is still the most precious time I have ever had with a video game.

[@retrogamerdad9621]

I miss my PC version of VII. I think you're at your best when you're doing lore/history topics like this. Good work, man.

This is fascinating! I've been seeing warps in action and discussed in general on the streams but never really looked into or understood it in any detail. Thanks for going into it step by step! Such a rich history of ffvii brokenness..

[@_thejuicebox]

Great video! It's nice to see exactly how this glitch works and this history behind it. I always knew that the PC version stored memory a bit differently and that's why the glitch worked. But now if I return to FF7 speedrunning I can actually explain the full thing!

Great vid! although you didn't mention the fact that you can yuffie warp to the jenova battle right after aeris dies, with her in your party thus doing the impossible, bringing her back to life! I did this and theres some def some soft locks where aeris being there when your party is supposed to speak crashes it, but by far the funniest part of this run is that it totally randomized the order of the cutscenes xD

[@chrisparkhurst5158]

I don't understand how SE screwed up the Remake/Rebirth games so bad when they already had a masterpiece in the OG. All they had to do was expand the story and upgrade the visuals and audio. Maybe add in some new materias for more fun combinations. But no. They nerfed the entire materia/magic system, completely changed the story, remade the world including taking away Fort Condor and putting it off in the distance to mock players that you're not in the old world anymore. It has been such a disrespectful experience playing the new games

The original version of FFVII for PC came in a white trapezoidal box, the same shape as the original Tomb Raider box, and had a fold-out cardbox slipcase that held all the discs.

[@ChairmanMeow1]

Back in 97 I never would have believed in 2024 people would still love this game

[@costby1105]

The debug room was likely dummied out because the game was so old that removing it entirely could break something else. It's the same reason the why when Morimoto snuck mew into pokemon Red and Green in the space that the debug tools took up it made a lot of developers and Game Freak very nervous.

[@emmettturner9452]

00:39 “The finished product would be a four disc PC port of the game in a giant blue Eidos Interactive box.” Huh? No. That’s the value series “Platinum Collection” re-release. Eidos’ original release of Final Fantasy VII was the giant white box the same shape as their trapezoid Tomb Raider boxes. They were so distinctive that it blows my mind that a video could specifically talk about the box without knowing that. It’s, like, usually the first thing anyone talks about with the PC port. ;) That said, I had both boxed. I lost my discs from the Platinum re-release a long time ago but kept the box with my PC big box collection until an EF4 tornado destroyed my home months ago. Though they were at my mother’s, I now have to move into that barn/accessory building Sinai had to list my big box PC collection for sale. I thought it was weird seeing an animated thumbnail with that box as I scrolled through my KZbin feed on AppleTV right after uploading pics of mine on eBay!

[@dimmkah]

It just blows my mind that people are able to find this stuff.

[@novelezra]

[@christo_reese]

damnit, you guys are crazy amazing for finding something new in a decades old game

[@DLFLux]

I used to be quite ignorant of speed runners, holding the opinion of them using glitches to skip areas wasn’t really an achievement out of some weird sense of purist morality, until I actually started watching videos like these and realising how much work went in to finding these glitches, skips and loopholes. My ignorant younger self just assumed it was easy to glitch, but man, these guys must have so crazy level of patience searching every inch of huge gaming worlds to find things. I could never be that dedicated to keep repeating a game over and over and working out how to exploit the game code. Now, I have total respect for them

[@brofenix]

It is pretty amazing how many glitches are in FF7 and the ability to get to the debug room is amazing :) It would insane, though, if someone found a way to have ACE (Arbitrary Code Execution) in FF7. Now that would truly be the ultimate glitch!

[@eh4372]

I literally could care less about speed runs, but the creative and ingenious ways people come up with these sorts of things is interesting.

[@matthewlandoll7812]

Excellent video. I had a vague understanding of how the Yuffie Warp used stored values, but this explanation really made it understandable. I can see why people wanted to see what all was possible with it. I wonder what other treasures it might unlock...

[@Marc83Aus]

The variety of glitches that can be found and exploited in this game for speedruns truely is entertaining. I imagine that is the game had been fully stable and contained none of these glitches it wouldnt be quite as popular as it is today. We all have nostalgia for the story, the mechanics and the technical achievement the original game is, but there is a little bit of nostalgia too for the first time we discovered a glitch, gamebreaking or not, or saw somebody else completely breaking what we thought was possible in the game. The most glitch heavy speedruns of this game are a must see for people interested in gamebreaking exploits.

[@pdraggy]

I beat it, not a spead run, got everything (even master summon) in under 20 hours.

[@Marc83Aus]

@@pdraggy 20 hours for a 100% run is impressive

[@Jeremyz0r]

Final Fantasy 7 has always been insanely popular based on merit alone no amount of glitches or speed runs would increase that by an observable margin. Those categories did effect Zelda's popularity though, it made those activities worth pursuing.

[@Kyronea]

Something that has always stuck with me is how I only got into Final Fantasy thanks to this PC port and the PC port for FFVIII. My copy of the PC port always got stuck in Cid's flashback in Rocket Town when you first go there, during the section of the cutscene where it's counting down because Shera is in the engine room. It just *stuck* in the cutscene no matter what I did and I never could understand why. It's distinctly possible my computer just wasn't good enough to run certain things at the time; I was never able to try it on any other computer. I wouldn't get to actually *finish* FFVII until a couple of years later when I managed to get my hands on a PSX and a copy of the game for that. And I finished FFVIII first which made it my initial favorite. (And then proceeded to think all Final Fantasy was like those two and hated on FFIX for a while as an ignorant teenager who thought it went against what Final Fantasy was supposed to be, which is hilarious given it was actually created as a celebration of the entire series, but teenagers gonna teenager.) But while FFVII will never be my favorite of them, I do still like many aspects of it. I almost never want to play it again because I played that first section so many times as a kid, and the only parts I'd want to replay are after Rocket Town. I still remember how crazy it was to me when I first got to the world map outside of Midgar, having never seen anything like that before in a game. So many things about it that changed my view on gaming.
