"He said the world was too wet and stole all the water from the ocean." I hate that this is essentially true.

One fun thing about Baten Kaitos 100% is that even if you remove the Shampoo as a requirement, a category called 99.92%, the run would still take 80 hours and is arguably a *harder* run since you have less time to distribute and pace yourself.

"The world is too wet" IGN is the final boss?

The Skies of Arcadia disc getting snapped in half hurt me haha

My youtube app crashed exactly when that run of Skies of Arcadia died and finished with the actual disc getting snapped in 2 pieces, the timing was perfect lol

I think it would be interesting for you to compare every single Pokemon Gen like this to see which Gen is the fastest speedrun-wise and which is the slowest.

That dude snapped a game worth about $100 loose assuming it was Skies of Arcadia Legends.

BATEN KAITOS 100% SPEEDRUN MENTIONED 🗣🗣 (also that ad transition was so dumb i loved it)

I swear beating xenogears as a kid without the internet is probably my greatest gaming achievement.

way back in the day when the run was 15 hours long, i was involved in the skies of arcadia speedrunning community. fun fact; i believe somewhere in the ballpark of 7 to 8 hours of the game is cutscenes, so for the run to be 10 1/2 hours is pretty monumental. the game is made pretty watertight with very little room to play with in terms of possible skips.

the Fire Emblem 1 speedrun is also pretty short, at about 4 and a half minutes. It doesn't even technically use a glitch, just a debug menu built into the game. You have to complete the first map, and then when the character Anna appears to ask if you want to save your game, you enter some button commands to get to the debug menu. In the debug menu you can get to the sound test menu, and if you choose the end credits song it just literally plays the end credits, and then goes back to the main title screen afterwards, as if the game had ended. The main problem with this is there's no way to manipulate the RNG, and it requires a bit of luck to get to the end of the map quickly. The boss has high hit avoid, but the run requires you to hit him twice without missing in order to do it right. Unfortunately, there is no way to get around that, so if you miss either one of those hits, you have to start over.

I can't believe how much I loved Baten Kaitos. HD Remaster of Baten Kaitos 1+2 dropped on Steam like 2 days before this was uploaded btw people

Once again, neat analysis video! Still amazing that even now, Baten Kaidos holds that honor of longest RPG run. Thanks for uploading!

Dude your editing is on point!

aaaaaaaaaa oh my god i actually got so excited when you brought up dark cloud it’s been one of my top 3 favorite series since i can remember

There's one RPG I love to "speedrun" and it's Final Fantasy V in a Four Job Fiesta setting. My fastest run with both superbosses defeated is 8h23mnXXsecs

Who even played an rpg for 350h on a single playthrough to find out one of their card evolves?? I love rpgs and frequently replay them but to have that many hours in a single run? Makes my brain hurt.

World Court Tennis, which I routed, can be completed in under an hour by skipping both all six bosses and the Magical Ball, which also makes the final boss faster (although more challenging). It's one of the shortest runs of an RPG I can think of.

Super excited for this analysis video! Might comment more later! Thanks for uploading!

The infamous Baten Kaitos, I'd forgotten its weird time-based mechanics, thanks for the video Doc ✌🏼

Great to see speedruns like these highlighted. Long live the RPG

I love the use of .Hack OST

BATEN KAITOS! my god that game brings back memories! Doc bringing the heat AGAIN 🔥🔥🔥

Another DoctorSwellman banger

love this format!

Man, TOTOs DW3 runs are such a throwback.

Nearly woke my wife up when I busted out laughing at "he said the world is too wet and stole all the water from the ocean."

MY BOY VINNY!

This one is funny to me. I’ve done the Lufia 2 glitch and it’s pretty difficult to pull it off quick let alone under a minute. But I played the whole game multiple times as a kid and never saw a glitch outside of the 2 rooms that weren’t coded right. Now, it’s pretty easy to activate glitches everywhere. We also played daggerfall (early elder scrolls game) a lot as kids and “speedran” it every time we played as it was too complicated to play normally. Take a shortcut out of the dungeon you start in, jump to a town, but the right spells and launch to the few story triggers. As for these crazy long ones, 100% runs always felt weird to me. While it’s my favorite way to play casually, the rules for 100% speed runs always feel kind of arbitrary. Once you are doing a 100% glitchless run it often takes a lot of the fun out of speed running and turns into play the game fast. No glitches, no sequence breaks, often not even deeply coded mechanics to beat impossible bosses because you can just grab a few more levels while you grab ever item.

Would you consider yandere simulator discount ban an rpg speedrun? the record is sub 1 second and you are tecnically roleplaying as an real Yandere Dev fan

Another fast RPG speedrun is Doom&Destiny whose glitchless any% is sitting just under 1:18:00. this one is actually a turn-based RPG as well

Those are mostly jRPGs. If you looked at more western ones you'd find gems like Two Worlds (1minute 41 seconds) and Fallout 1 (55 seconds, or 4 minutes 55 for a good ending) - both let you run straight to the main villain and kill them right after beginning the game to trigger the ending (Two Worlds unintentionally, but Fallout 1 fully intentionally because the game gives player total freedom).

Imagine being 100 hours into a run and having to reset.

I didn't realise Baiten Kaitos took that long to beat, as Xenoblade was about hundred hours, but it felt a lot longer than that, and i've completed both games, as well as The Last Story, who's hard mode is nearly impossible.

Thanks!

Dark Cloud mentioned!

Fresh Swelly Drop! You love to see it!

btw a HD remaster of Baten Kaitos 1&2 just dropped on steam literally two days ago. God I hope it still takes two weeks for the hundo.

That shampoo stuff in Baten Kaitos is already ridiculous on a casual playthourgh. Why the hell people would let the game plays for 336 hours long. Damn, I don't understand that kind of gimmicks in RPGs :'D

So I need to do *one* Warrior + NG+ Warrior run in Grindquest to take the title, gotcha.

The question is, how long dose it take to speedrun marvel strike force 100℅

Any link for the digimon speedrun?

It's a shame some LOLcalizer took an axe to the HD re-release of Baten Kaitos. Someone was power tripping *hard* with total random changes that just do nothing but make the game worse. The changes make no sense, actually make it less accurate to the Japanese text, and forced the removal of the dubs from both games (BK1's is no loss, but BKO's is actually pretty good). Eating beef? Change it to some fictional meat substitute (nevermind that the "beef" was introduced in the translation and it's just "curry" in Japanese). The clouds that keep the surface sealed off from the floating islands have a name? Just replace every instance with the generic descriptor "toxic clouds". Option to play as a female character? Needs to be cut for reasons. These changes were so necessary, that they were only made to the English version: Every other language is unaltered (including the female character option, which went beyond text and image changes to remove a segment of dialog and make new art for the save screen to hide the missing choice). I love both games, and would have recommended everyone play the re-release, but Namco Bandai America went out of their way to make the game worse. As is, I actively encourage everyone to avoid it and play the original. With this and the PC port being unceremoniously released with no promotion (not even a prior announcement) during a crowded release period (including one major game published by them!) tells me Namco Bandai America wanted the re-release to fail.

i love baten kaitos!!!

When do they get called longrun

There are 168 hours in a week. So... wow

Demon's Shaft

Really like your editing

Skyrim Any% is around 5 minutes

Marvel Strike Force is still around?

8:26 dude snapping a disc is disrespectful why would anyone do that

never gonna give you up

The guy snapping the disk is cringe.

Baten Kaitos is awful. I returned it after only an hour of playing it when I first bought it on release.
