[@logans.7932]

I've never played this game but I love the idea of that underwater tower. You can't see very well underwater, so the enemies are all just blurry nameless blobs. Honestly I think the fight against the Gogo guy would be way funnier if to beat him you had to attempt to run away, fail because it's a boss, and then he actually runs away though.

[@youarereadingmynamerightno4311]

You should play it. One of my favorite JRPGs of all time.

[@CabbageFarmerAi-Chan]

I love these kinds of time limits, it's a rare type of "oh fuck", that you don't usually feel during an RPG. My favorite to this day is the Sabin Vs Vargas fight.

[@frds_skce]

Oh shit, i still remember that fight. I always rage-quit during that fight because i can't figure out how to do blitz (how tf you expect me to know whether when you're supposed to put the input??) So anyway, FFVI is my favorite final fantasy now

[@zkitty11]

Omg the burning castle escape was so stressful. I remember getting all the treasure chests, freaking out when I saw there was a miniboss at the end, and I *barely* escaped with like, single digits left on the timer.

[@MasterKnightDH]

I should point out that the treasures include the Heal Spell, which I don't think is otherwise obtainable for a while. Also, Iron Claw has a Blue Magic spell. Though it is glaringly funny that you can be outside the castle walls themselves and the time limit can still kill you simply because you hadn't transitioned to the overworld. Also, Odin has a good Steal item that I don't think can be obtained in indefinite quantity, so he can be obnoxious with 100% completion RNG. Didn't know Fork Tower's gimmick actually did program in a lethal time limit though.

[@chaoskiller6084]

Actually, you can get hundreds of Protect Rings. Just use the duplication glitch and steal 255 at a time. You can steal them from Odin and Soul Cannons in the Phoenix Tower.

[@Tetsaiken]

Actually, I'm pretty sure you get Esuna just about right after you get the steamship. So actually, not that long after you escape from Karnak Castle. Pretty much the only things worth getting were the Ribbon and Elven Mantle, and only spell worth learning was Death Claw. The others were more easily accessible very soon (Aera spell), or gets powercreeped later (Main Gauche).

[@chaoskiller6084]

@@Tetsaiken Yeah, from the bard village IIRC

[@seant1326]

Dying when you're directly outside the castle walls, just before the overworld does have some explanation. Said area was probably enveloped by the explosion.

[@thel-iteralone4592]

It's about time this series got a new episode!

[@WhiteFangofWar]

Meanwhile Ultros in Final Fantasy 6 is a closet physics genius, easily calculating it will take him exactly 5 minutes to push a 5-ton weight off the rafters to crush Celes during an opera... when it should have just crashed through them the instant it was brought up there. Final Fantasy 8 probably has the worst time limits in the series however, since the score determining your pay grade rises if you get very close to 0 without actually hitting it, even when fighting a boss to escape a military base you've just set to self-destruct. And once again, Odin has a countdown to murdering you.

[@guineapiggames8208]

That whole sequence with Ultros felt really forced. I feel like they just wanted to put a timed quest in without considering how ridiculous the whole situation sounded.

Are you considering only visible time limits? Cuz I have an example of creepy time limits that is not visible The game is Pikmin 2 and this occurs in a especific location called Submerged Castle This is a difficult cave as you can enter only with a type of pikmin and has to deal with a lot of different hazards that required another Pikmin But if you let yourself confortable and make a slow progress, an invencible and bloodthirsty enemy called Water Wraith will fall from the top of the cave in a random location of the room and start to hunt you After you know about it you cant play on that place without sweating a lot

[@DoctorSpacebar]

It's possible to run out of time just as Odin says "This is it!" ("That's enough!" in the GBA version). You still die. This happened to me once in my latest run. There are setups that make it possible to kill Gogo directly. The job system is honestly a great candidate for Most Powerful Characters in Gaming Ever. Maybe not in III because you only pick one class at a time, but I know V, Tactics and the Bravely series let you make some insane combinations.

[@scottrauch1261]

How can they breath under water for so long? Magic! I mean the villain is a sentient tree, you get help from not Oogway, multiple worlds exist on top of each other, gods can be fought and controlled by you, and you wonder about slightly longer then normal breath holding?

[@oculttheexegaming2509]

The "Hurry" music from Final Fantasy V sounds like the drowning theme from the Sonic series.

[@donovanmahan2901]

[@polariz5780]

You can get all the items in the castle under 10 minutes, there's some great items there like an Elven mantle, Main gauche dagger and Ribbon accessory, and the boss you face at the end, Iron Claw, has a great Blue magic spell to learn early on, Death Claw, that reduces the hp of non-heavy enemies to single digits and also paralyzes them. If you save while the time limit is still early on, you can easily retry until you get everything you want (some chests are pretty useless and only have small amounts of money, but after playing a few times it's pretty easy to remember wich ones.)

[@snuggie1849]

The death claw ability can be used on some bosses too

[@Tetsaiken]

I had a post outlining everything you can get from the Karnak Castle, but for some reason it disappeared. Basically, only the Ribbon and Elven Mantle is worth acquiring and only Death Claw is worth learning, and you can literally just waltz out of the castle in 5 minutes as you have other means of acquiring the other stuff in the castle. Esuna, you can get from a village not too long afterwards. Main Gauche, while useful early game, gets powercreeped later. Aera, you can learn literally in the next area. And even Elven Mantle's usefulness is debatable since lategame mobs love magicspam, so you may not even need that. Getting just the Ribbon and Iron Claw should take no less than 3 minutes.

[@zkitty11]

When you said you felt like you were forgetting something, maybe it was the Atomos boss fight in this game? I just remembered it the other day. When Atomos KOs a party member he starts sucking them into a black hole and it's easy to think that they're gone for good if that happens.

Here's a challenge. Get all the items in Karnak Castle AND learn Death Claw from Iron Claw using at least one of your Blue Mages.

[@abuslayer17]

In that fight against odin, I remember I defeated him at 0:00, and the game just decided I lost. I fell so down after that cause the last time I saved was right before I fought Leviathan.

[@forge321jtm7]

As a kid, I always found the "game over" screens from old games scary. I'm not talking the "bad ending" or "being disemboweled." No, it was simply the black screen with the white text saying "GAME OVER" and that was all it took.

[@marllonbruno608]

You're amazing!

[@AlquimisOnline]

About the first one...I always go for the items and 90% of the time I can make it, but thats only because I grind a lot to get some major good levels, otherwise the battles would take too long.

[@shirrenthewanderer414]

Also want to point out if you continue to attack Gogo he gets pissed and then throws meteors at you until you die. If the time runs out during the boss fight, you can pick up the shard but won't be able to cast Exit (you will still drown).

[@VaruKozuka]

4:48 Wow! The music doesn't play, holy shit I didn't know that, that makes it even creepier. I never played FFV... Well... I played it like 1 hour a long time ago but, that fade to black when you die and without a Game Over music or screen that's creepy and that sped up music doesn't help at all and wow Odin, damn!

I always overlevel somewhat before time sectioned were forced enemies fights try to slow to the point I can one shot everything so they don’t slow me down too much and get everything that I might miss if I don’t get them then. Then I skip as many battles as possible in the areas I can come back and get everything later till im at normala level for where I am at.

[@tomasc7728]

I don't know if anyone has suggested this, but the time limit in Chrono Trigger when Lucca's mom is trapped in the machine TERRIFIED me. Spoiler: When I first played Chrono I was playing the DS remake and in order to get through the sequence you have to press L-A-R-A (Lucca's mom's name) but the L and R buttons on my controller weren't responsive so I just had to wait there for Lara to get her legs sucked into the machine and the scream...

Xena: Warrior Princess for the PS2 has a rather disturbing timed sequence, which is the entire game might I add: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iImUdqh-e8xlh9U 3:27-3:57

[@michealforguson5317]

Yep. Just as horrifying as I remember it. Even on the GBA version. So to clarify a few things. Yes, it is possible to get all of the items in Karnak Castle before it explodes. It is highly advisable to have a Thief and a Blue Mage in your party before going to the cutscenes in the Crystal Chamber. Running will be easier if you hold down the B Button since having a Thief means Bartz will run at double the regular speed. Enemies will not attack you from behind, either. Blue Mage for attempting to learn Aerora (Aera) and Death Claw, but you can get those later. With the Castle of Bal, the door to Odin is locked from the other side, a la Resident Evil. You'll need to go through the Jachol Cave and climb the wall at the end to appear in the basement where Odin is. Then you can unlock the door and use the Save Point anytime you want. With the Fork Tower, you are correct. The GBA version doesn't like it when you waste time in the menu. Happened to me once... With the last one, that treasure chest in the Sunken Walse Tower contains an air bubble that restores the timer back to Seven Minutes. To get to it, you can walk over the seemingly impassable floor now that it's flooded with water. You couldn't do that before the tower sunk.

[@RaphielShiraha64]

And all enemies are black blobs because since the characters are under water they don't have a good view.

[@TechnoDS09]

Ah, FFV, the game where I got mimic on accident because I stood still for minutes trying to figure out how to beat the boss without having him spam meteor on the team. ... Is it bad I did that on accident?

[@fyxfrominferno9194]

Ok why is Live a Live mentioned in the description

[@RaphielShiraha64]

there is actually a way to win the gogo fight without waiting, cast silence sword spell and attack gogo with it, if it works he will be silenced and you can destroy him how much you want.

[@Joe_334]

I'm surprised FFVIII hasnt made your list of creepy time limits, as almost every major mission in that game had that sense of urgency. There is a bad ending if you don't set the error ratio to maximum. You can still escape, and defeat the mech, but it will cut to the scene where the missiles will aim at balamb, and blow it up. Also, if you don't use a phoenix down in time during the final boss, Ultimecia will have them absorbed into time...

I only played the GBA version, but in the Karnak sequence I think you have just enough time to get every goodie, blue magic abilities and bestiary entry as long as you know what you are doing. I didn't the first time and had to look in a forum to avoid missing anything forever (Something which happens too many times in this game). Also, the first time I faced Iron Claw I killed him before he transformed and I thought it was some random encounter. I am curious about Gogo. Is it possible to kill him the old-fashioned way?

[@DrakonLameth]

Yeah, but when he gets low on HP, he tantrums at you, basically saying that you don't know the true art of being a mime, and then triple-casts Meteor on you, which is likely to wipe the average party; those who have grinded heavily, or used a Silence spell blade on him, being unusual, don't typically have to fear that.

Dude back in the day seeing an image of my character falling, and of course with the desperation of any normal person, plus the fact that i had no credits to save him was..... real rough to me only touched the game again in the emulators ever since. Wow, long comment, sorry if i made you read all that but i'm just saying that everyone had your traumatic experiences with game overs/continue screens back in the day.

[@DrakonLameth]

Karnak 600 (seconds) -- If you've got Flee from the thief job, I'm pretty sure you can at least run from the random encounters. And, as the video implied and showed, 90% of the Monster-in-a-boxes aren't really worth it (all but like, 5 trapped boxes are just elixirs). Odin's a butt. Fork Tower in the GBA version has caught many a person, myself included, by surprise, but you're not wrong. I don't know about standing around or walking away, but I do know that merely opening up and closing the menu is enough for it to basically go, "You didn't take it right away, game over." I think Famed Mimic Gogo requires something like a full 90 seconds of no commands input for him to congratulate you on miming his doing nothing (and he's heavily verbose in the GBA version, you need like, 2 minutes left on the clock plus time to menu for Exit/Warp to leave... or the extra minute or so to get to that shut chest you showed that adds a couple minutes to your breath counter... Fun fact -- according to the GBA bestiary entry, Gogo's weak to, and I think absorbs, water elemental attacks... might just be negates/immune to water element on top of the weakness.
