The Dumbest Cheated Speedrun in FF7 History

Posted 7 days ago
The exploration of Final Fantasy 7's speedrunning history reveals a remarkable evolution from its infancy to the complex strategies employed today. Initially, speedrunners had to utilize a 'save and quit' method to bypass the Zumle, an overworld monster infamous for its relentless pursuit. This technique, while effective, was soon rendered obsolete as players discovered timing methods to evade the beast altogether. Innovations continued, leading to the discovery of a manipulation trick involving chocobos that allowed players to clip through mountains, a significant leap in speedrunning techniques. This clipping exploit stemmed from a deep understanding of how the game stored its geometry in memory, showcasing the dedication and skill of the speedrunning community in dissecting the game’s mechanics. As the years progressed, players dug deeper into the game's code, unraveling its secrets to find ways to optimize runs even further. By the late 2010s, the understanding of random encounters had matured, allowing speedrunners to navigate dungeons and other obstacles with impressive precision, effectively redefining the parameters of what was possible within the game. The advancements led to techniques that could truncate gameplay significantly, such as walking across water to skip entire sections of the game and bypassing all of disc one after Midgar. This mastery reflects not just an evolution of skill but also a communal effort to dissect and leverage every available game mechanic for maximum efficiency, painting a picture of a vibrant and ever-adapting speedrunning culture. Overall, the journey of Final Fantasy 7's speedrun is not just about speed; it is a testament to the creativity and perseverance of its runners, transforming an iconic RPG into a canvas for competition and innovation.
