Phantasy Star IV - Any% Speedrun (

AKA Reset Star IV: The End of the Sethlenium. Igglanova Count: 73. Good execution on the glitches, varying luck, and some nail-biters - gonna call it a speedrun. Word out to my boys Mor_mot and Veo for their work on this of course. And a shout out to my favourite monsters the Imagiomages, not today old friends.

To think that it took me my whole school summer vacation of 93 to beat this game.

[@Bigshothamburger]

Took me nearly 6 years to be luigis mansion dark moon ;-;

[@phychmasher]

I love this game and I've played it a LOT. This is truly bananas to watch and I'm here for it!

[@Shadowrunner340]

Wow. So ok, speedrunning this is a thing... One of the first JRPG's I ever played, destroyed in half an hour, using glitches I never imagined existed.

[@4thChairman_Yume]

NANI YOU RAN AWAY FROM THE FIRST BOSS! WOW im learning so much here!

[@huskymcfluff]

Having just beaten this game again for the umpteenth time, I decided to check out a speedrun of it. I got to about the 25 minute mark and then was laughing so hard I was crying. Even if I were a speedrunner I would never be able to any% this game. I'd be laughing too hard to see what I was doing.

[@huskymcfluff]

Then I was like... how the fuck are they gonna beat the profound darkness with THIS party. ... oh.

[@Sherkel]

The Profound Darkness is afraid of Seth, didn't see that coming!

[@nimaiiikun]

awesome, Alas lives and Seth/DarkForce turns against the Profound Darkness

[@skippychurch2965]

This was like the pulp fiction of speed runs, for me.

[@kennydunhill1800]

I played this game alot, the final partys being alys 2hahns and seth is amazing.

[@TravelingKen]

This run was glitch-tastic!
Yes, I'm aware of how cheesy that was.....

[@tylerphotos]

Wow. Seriously impressive. Had no idea about all these glitches.

[@JoeyLamontagne]

So Dark Force won against the Profound Darkness

[@JeremyNoblitt]

I've beat this game many times. My favorite rpg. I've never done any glitches. Not even the shadowblade glitch. This friggin blew my mind.

[@flparg2]

Wtf did l just watch? It was amazing !!! Haha great work

[@vettedsin]

surprise attack. even the random enemies wasnt expecting you at that area yet lol.

[@FirstNameLastName-kt3zn]

I can't believe it.

[@finalfantasyrules222]

Zio be like I have a dark force the party be like we have exploding rika

[@andremoreira7022]

Caralho, sinistro. Só que já jogou entende. Inacreditável o que esse cara fez.

[@Robert-xf5jj]

Nem md fala mano. Terminou mt rapido e terminou com a Alys viva e nao lutou contra o Dark Force. Mais de 8 mil de glitch

[@espfusion]

You defeated Profound Darkness... but at what cost?

[@Prophallus88]

I have one problem with this run even if its glitched, how come he does not get "Cannot escape..." when trying to retreat not once?..

[@redguywins4802]

Andreas Johansson
Its tool assisted... aka fake.

[@bobdole1105]

@@redguywins4802 No, TAS don't get random encounters. Read the description, it was his 73 attempt.

[@Sherkel]

Amazing job! I have a whole lot to read about.

[@alagosplode]

So I'm guessing this is not marathon safe.

[@jiseed3028]

Probably not the solo Seth route, no.

[@fnlultm]

Ngl, I didn't really register in my head that you had rune in your party until you fought juza

[@davidschmidt8868]

How are you able to run at such a low level? I've been playing this game wrong my whole life. Ha.

[@Ifalvarado]

I dont get it, what happened at Tonoe with the menu and save ?

[@SSJ4Supermanarot]

Take that Final Fantasy 7.😂

[@angel_of_rust]

bruh it's the 9th track from Ada Rook's 2022 album UGLY DEATH NO REDEMPTION ANGEL CURSE I LOVE YOU

[@lufasumafalu5069]

is this availabe on steam ? seem similar octopath traveller

[@clairofmemories]

i think it might be but if you have a computer you might as well just find another way to emulate it since it’s fairly old at this point, it’s a great game I can’t recommend it enough

[@holynadahjl]

wtf????how?????

[@ahsantahseen6531]

What was that ?

[@DeusDevoid]

wtf is happening

[@user-zh6jf8jw4o]

че фейк всё-таки?

[@doorbellco]

Yeah, I call bullshit.

[@noahboudah9316]

How does that glitch that changes the menu work?

[@MaskedLongplayer]

Basically ingame collision and trigger box detection is disabled for optimization reasons while menu is visible - it would slow down everything if it would be enabled at the same time as the costly menu is rendered. A glitchy menu is still a menu as far as the game is concerned, so it allows unrestricted movement.
And the menu itself is glitched once several frame-perfect inputs of "Select" / "Go Back" are performed.

[@andychow5509]

I'm guessing it's some sort of memory glitch. He seems to be able to manipulate the macro screen until it corresponds to a value, then saving and loading the game makes him be there.
