The The Final VII Remake demo you are out for a week only, but the speed drivers are already haYou have played it many times to try to understand it as if it were a dry game.

The demo, which started live last Monday, runs for an hour, showing the first function of how long the game promises. Even then, the game is the first in a multi-part series to bring back the first PlayStation 1 JRPG. But that didn't stop the rest The final concept of VIIThe biggest fans in the fight against the fastest lap time, currently at 13:22.

A The last thought and Kingdom Hearts the speed driver driving desa3579 is one of those fans. Earlier this week, his time of 13:25 was very fast. Yesterday the SwiftShadow rider finished one second ahead of him, but was then beaten by Ffamran in two seconds. "We think of new techniques every day they come across, from the troops from the start to the demo manager, the Scorpion Sentinel," he told desa2579 Kotaku on top of Discord. He and others we have been waiting to be asked for so long that dividing it and making it right is like its way of celebrating its imminent arrival.

The Final VII RemakeFighting allows you to navigate in real-time, attack, block and dodging while trying to create an ATB meter that lets you manipulate objects and use magic. You can also switch by alternating between two playable characters, Cloud and Barrett, each with different abilities that need to be used in tandem to cut enemies in the most effective way. There is a lot to think about, and at least partly why speed drivers like desa3579 stop at other games like Kingdom Hearts III to play the demo over and over again. He counters that he started the demo more than 200 times, and spent 40 hours with it since it was released.

He spent some of that time looking for ways to save small chunks of time, such as using Cloud & # 39; s Focused Thrust attacks on distant enemies to quickly cross rooms. He also spends most of his time studying the demo boss fight, the Scorpion Sentinel, a military tank that jumps around a large reactor room that shoots small arrows, firing lasers, and defending missiles.

"If I had to take the hardest part of the speed it should be the second phase of the Scorpion Sentinel fight as we have very little time to break down the obstacle it creates," said desa2579. “And you jump to the wall at that stage and then back and forth in the dungeons like an attack you can resist. Finding that company is always going to be the hard part for me as he always skips a different one and has to predict the way he goes. ”

On the wallt run-world record, Ffamran managed to beat each quarterback and ended the fight in just over two minutes. Even non-speed drivers have taken part in a good fight with the captain, engaging in “no beating"No"no damage”Videos on YouTube.

Although the actual game is out for another month, the demo has already been proven to be helpful in gaining timely placement that might be useful for full speedruns The Final VII Remake. "I was able to break the barriers in my first two games that we have not been able to repeat now, and the small jump that allows us to get in the door after the first 2.3 seconds before is normal," said desa3579. but no one understands it yet. "

It may not even be in the finished game, but luck telling the runners to wait.
