Final Fantasy 8 100% Remastered Speedrun in

[@KBXband]

I like when Quistis walks into the infirmary during that CGI sequence. I never was able to figure out her expression but I assume its a sigh like "Ugh these dumbasses were at it again..."

[@AcousticFool]

I remember when I first played this game as a kid. I think it was just before the end of disc one, you enter a cave where you get the Brothers GF and I was trying to find some code. I must have spent like 10 hours back tracking and looking everywhere for it, only to find out it's on the body of a soldier as you enter the cave. Good times haha.

[@GODKINGOFRTW]

I know the feeling I beat the game without a strategy guide probably took like 80 hrs. Still never did a 100 percent run yet. Thus video has inspired me

[@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785]

Quistis: blahblahblah... S: leave me alone, I'm trying to do a Speedrun here! Quistis: *Laser eyes intensify*

[@StephenBrown919]

This has always been my favorite in the franchise.

[@TechnoL33T]

Your opinion is correct.

[@GuillaumeLeValiant]

Same here.

[@austinseph1]

I will need a second bag of popcorn for this one.. Here we go!

[@Cordellium]

Enjoy Austin! Good chatting with you in chat today!

[@robotsmoke204]

What an awesome game. Great work sir. I always used a strategy guide but I feel this is better. Thanks!

[@Cordellium]

My pleasure! Glad it could be of use in that manner. Cheers Justin!

[@geoffreyrutherford9665]

Just watched your dark cloud play through 100% and onto ff8 locked up in isolation with Covid. I know you’re not gonna be putting out anymore vids but I hope things are going well for you!!

[@Cordellium]

Thank you much for watching and the sentiment! Glad to have provided a bit of escape from our current world situation. Cheers and be well also o7

[@Milktube]

Would've liked to see 255 Strength, Vitality, Magic, Spirit, Speed, and Luck + 9999 Max HP on 1 character as a requirement - it **IS** 100% after all. Since you can junction magic as well as using the Stat Ups this won't even take particularly long for the first 5 stats (HP will take no time at all), Luck will obviously take some time but it's consistent guaranteed progress with no RNG limiting you.

[@Cordellium]

You're more than welcome to do such a run.

[@user-hr1iu3tu9c]

eu não sabia que dava para matar a máquina-aranha somente com thunder... sempre pegava thundara ou thundaga atráves de cards, que loucura hahahaha vídeo muito bom, parabéns

[@NWOtion]

Ohhh 100 percent. I just started and am nearly done with disc one in a few hours. So much easier now that I grasp the junction system unlike when i was a wee babe

[@Cordellium]

Always am curious how I would have played this myself as a kid. Saw my dad play it originally and while he used a strategy guide, I don't have much recollection of how he played. Glad this time around is going smoother for you Red! Cheers!

[@LeandroResende-db3fo]

Your channel is very fantastic

[@Cordellium]

Thank you very kindly Leandro o7

[@xFlyingFlip]

Beep Boop nice run . I'm gonna be playing along side you here lol

20 hours...1 thumbs up for him wont hurt

[@Cordellium]

I suffer speedruns for internet points only. Thank you for making it worth while :)

[@xDJerome95]

Miss him

[@nassboud6578]

I wish I got to watch this live

[@marksvayne438]

idont understand the squall damage... in this moment 39:41 explain me pls

[@Cordellium]

Hi CosmicVayne! So, early on, the best we can do in a speedrun for Squall’s STR stat is to junction it with some low level magic, the best and most readily available being Water. In order to get this magic, we first start learning I-Mag RF on Shiva which let’s us refine Water/Blizzard magic. Second, we get 5 Fish Fin drops from the Fastitocalon-F enemies on the beach outside of garden. Lastly, at Dollet we refine out the 100 Waters from the Fish Fins using I-Mag RF to Squall, them junction the Water to his STR stat (which at this point requires him having Ifrit as Ifrit is the only GF that we have this early in the game with the STR-J ability learned). Hope this helps! Let me know if not. Cheers and be well!

[@marksvayne438]

@@Cordellium OH THANKS!! bro my bad

[@Cordellium]

All good fam! Cheers! Happy Sunday!

[@Kimble1599]

Is there any reason why you run in boss fights? Ive seen a few people playing ff doing.

[@Cordellium]

Skips animations such as characters lifting up their weapons when you select attack.

[@disfiguringthegoddess1102]

So - what's the diff between the psx run and remaster for hundo? I want to do hundo for psx. Have wanted to for yrs.

[@Cordellium]

Iirc, PSX was the same as Remastered, save for some grinds on the World Map being easier due to how encounters and drops work on the latter.

[@TheMoafo]

Got a guide for this?

[@ВасянВасян-ы8з]

I wonder how do you know the code for galbadian soldier

[@Cordellium]

There are poles that appear in the windows of the train on the way to Deling City that are tied to the same RNG value that determines the Caraway Mansion code. So depending on the quantities of the sets of poles that appear, we can know what the code will be without having to go to the Tomb of the Unknown King.

[@MacMatician]

Have you created a guide for this run also what did you play on pc or console

[@Cordellium]

No and this was on the Steam Remastered version. I have done PSX 100% runs as well.

[@MacMatician]

@@Cordellium gotcha I was thinking about doing some runs in this category and was curious if a written guide was made for it

[@alanarcher]

MY BODY IS READY

[@GODKINGOFRTW]

Did you do it all In one sitting

[@nekolover1674]

i just beat the game and im going round 2 long and fun

[@mhzocker4606]

Remastered ps4 version has these cheats like 9999dmg cheats and 2x speed I often saw that as speedrun with in my opinion isn't good at all because it's no skill behind But this 100% here it looks good

[@Cordellium]

Appreciate it Mhzocker!

[@YozoraHeart]

Where can I get more information on your route and thought process behind it?

[@YozoraHeart]

For example, why not go for Lionheart Disc 1?

[@Cordellium]

@@YozoraHeart Because it would be far slower than getting it later and there is no benefit to getting it early other than an nominal damage boost that wouldn't make fights faster. Come by my twitch channel twitch.tv/connorcordell and ask away sometime if you'd like. Cheers Sonic!

[@kaycedaniels6035]

So what is the difference between original and remastered? Love final fantasy but never understood the difference

[@ChaoticNeutralAnimation]

Remastered looks nicer, you can choose the japanese dialogue as well.

[@212mochaman]

4 things. 1. Remaster boosters, particularly speed boosters make drawing from enemies/bosses wayyyy quicker 2. Siren and one other gf needed to be lvl 100 to have the full effect of its refine ability available. Remaster did away with that 3. Omega weapon in remaster is minimum and maximum lvl 100. Og it was scaled to your lvl 4. Lots of rare items were available in chocobo world in the pocketstation whatever that is. Remaster scrapped that and made all the items available at incredibly low odds with angelo search

[@pushfrog18]

Why didn’t he get the two first cards right at the beginning

[@semperfi215]

10 hours.....100%.....ok you got my attention. I need 80 hours

[@beans_potatoes]

I don't understand how people do 20 hour speedruns in one sitting. did you do this in one sitting? I just started watching the video.

[@Cordellium]

Yes, this was one of the last runs of this sort I did. As to how, there are ways to increase the likelihood of success and somewhat decrease deleterious side effects of being up so long while playing video games (getting up frequently and moving around, drinking plenty, lots of bright lights, coffee, etc.) but at least personally, I never had too much issue when it was something between 20-30 hours (e.g. the second speedrun I learned was Xenogears at around 18-22 hours). But beyond that, it gets a lot more grating and challenging. Never finished runs/multi-runs successfully that lasted over 40 hours.

[@ndsgaming98]

[@helennethers9777]

didn't someone beat ff8 10 years ago in 8 hours?

[@flammehawk]

well then lets watch this, why do I want to see this at an GDQ Event.

[@Cordellium]

That would be something wouldn’t it!

[@mikemadden2092]

Shoulda jakked the speed up..all of them especially text

[@atb1332]

when the remastered came out, i went for the overpowered approach: lvl100 before the SeeD exam (BONUS FRZ w/ Ifrit), when I did that in the original, it took over 10 hours, w/ all the tools in this version... less than half that... how do I love the fact that the monsters level up w/ the characters...

[@leandroborelli1985]

The synch is fucked up :((((

Welcome to the wonderful world of SquareEnix Ports of Beloved Classics, where actual effort and care are non-existent entities :)

[@Holy98989898]

"speedrun"

[@HighDude]

nice run but cringe alerts

[@CuSolais]

Id like this a lot more without the complaining about "safe spaces" and stuff but to each their own i guess.

[@LLFoolJ]

I'm sure there are plenty of other streamers out there who are willing to placate your sensibilities
