4 3D Zeldas in 48 hours

[Quicklet]

The game reset over 4 times

That hurt them, but even with those 4 resets, they probably wasted at least 6-8 hours just from backtracking, not knowing what to do, and just flat out sucking (even after they got to the boss of the Stone Temple, the guy kept losing... he had to have lost that fight at LEAST 10 times).

IMO, a pro could do all 4 in 24 hours. Hell, I could probably do all 4 in 24 hours.

[Minions]

They said all 4 in 48 hours from memory without guides or practice... so ya ;x

Someone ought to do the really amazing thing and do every single final fantasy in one week.

that would be amazing. 1-12.

none of the side ones like tactics, or gameboy or anything. just the main console ones, 1-12 in one week.

I think you'd go insane.

including XI?

Impossible for me, Zeromus at the end of FFIV owns my party at level 80 and I refuse to level up any higher than that. This is on the PS1 remake though, which I've heard is a harder version.

There are several rumors about which version is harder, but I think the only significant difficulty difference is between the second JP-only release and all the others. All the US releases were the same game with different levels of censorship.

But yes, Zeromus is pretty unfair if you don't overlevel. I think I beat it at like 60-65 one time by just leaving Kain and Edge dead and casting meteo and cure4 as fast as I could.

hmm, that makes me want to dig out the harder version and play, was it the ps1 release or the GBA version, Id kinda like to do the GBA one since it has more content, but hard is gud!

My mistake, I guess they did make a few bosses easier and some items less expensive in the first NA port, but it wasn't easytype level easy. The original SFC, PSX and GBA versions should all be hardtype though, and the extra GBA postgame content should be harder too.

I never thought to leave some of the lesser party members dead for the fight, especially since Edge is pretty fail if I remember right, trying to level them all up evenly is killer too with the 5 way exp cut.

[Charla]

Well Edge is useful for the first 2 or 3 turns because he can throw spoon, then a spare Excalibur or Crystal sword (if you duped it) for 9999. Mostly I just didn't have time to rez everyone after they started dying, then noticed my multitarget cures were landing for more without them. Kain is useful only if he's jumped during the first big bang, because he gets a free attack before going down.

[Starblaster]

Also, what does stealing the Dark Matter from Zeromus do? I always steal it but it never seems to make a difference.

[Charla]

Stealing the Dark Matter item in the pre-battle stage will reduce the amount of damage his Big Bang attack does.

I never stole it until like my fifth time beating him on an emulator. Probably just hard to notice the difference unless you're looking for it.

[Exoduso]

So they stopped trying? heh. How far into TP were they at the 48hour mark?

[Charla]

They managed 3 in 48 and they just started on TP on the 48 hour mark.
