Final Fantasy VII any% No Major Skips Speedrun in 7:38:15 [World Record by Zheal] Zheal 2024-08-20 | Channel: twitch.tv/zhealDiscord: discord.gg/dAsYdu7Ez8SRC Profile: speedrun.com/user/ZhealGame: Final Fantasy VIICategory: any% No Major SkipsVersion: NTSC-UDate: March 28th 2023This speedrun category aims to restore some of the old glory of the full game as a speedrun. In modern times a lot of skips and glitches have been found, some of them are actually as old as FF7 speedrunning itself. There are especially 4 skips that cut major parts of the game out of the speedrun. Guard Skip, which skips Reactor Nr.5 and the Sector 5 sections, Kalm Skip, which clips through a mountain on the World Map to skip Kalm and the Mythril Mines, Cosmo Canyon Skip, which skips breaking the buggy so we never have to enter Cosmo Canyon and Return to Midgar Skip, which skips the whole return to Midgar section at the end of Disc 2. These "Big 4" and some of the smaller skips are not allowed to be done in this category so runners have to go through every section and dungeon of the game, creating a full game speedrun.This run was the finale of my first NMS grind. My goal was a sub 7:40, which I achieved very comfortably with this. It is a wonderful category and I am already looking forward to return to it for another grind, maybe hunting to get the World Record back!

FF7 any% Speedrun(Slots) in 6:23:36 Zheal 2022-12-19 | Channel: twitch.tv/zhealDiscord: discord.gg/Qz7QWZ3SRC Profile: speedrun.com/user/ZhealGame: Final Fantasy VIICategory: any% "Slots"Version: NTSC-UDate: Oct. 30th 2022This is the fastest speedrun category for the original PlayStation. It's any%, means it supports any means, strats, glitches, skips and techniques in the game to complete it as fast as possible. This speedrun mainly uses Cait Sith's 2nd Limit Break "Slots" which has the ability to win every boss fight immediately. It skips big chunks of the start of CD1 in Midgar, Kalm, Cosmo Canyon and the end of CD2. Until Cait Sith is recruited the route is very similar to the "No Slots" speedrun but then it changes to focus entirely on the usage of "Slots".This will be, probably for a long time, my last run for this category. I said it multiple times but I do not very enjoy this run. The focus on slots entirely feels boring, all the fights are the same, there is not much preparation needed for anything and it just feels like a lot of cutscenes with some instantly-won-fights in between. I couldn't get myself to practice anything for this category aside the Slots timing so especially menus look pretty sloppy. The more I am happy and also a bit susprised that I was able to beat the past World Record by over 2 minutes. I estimate this run to still be able to save a few more minutes ideally but I am not ready to grind it out at this point. Maybe sometime in the future.The run overall was pretty decent. I haven't failed any Slots or done any other big mistakes. RNG was overall decent and no huge problems occured either. Timesave in the future would mainly come from playing smoother, faster menus and I also see some potential route improvements. There is still the hybrid-route idea around where you'd use Tifa in combination with Slots for the endgame. This would need quiet a bit more prep in CD2, picking up Curse Ring, some longer menus, etc but would save some considerable time in some fights like Hojo and the last boss rush. Properly routed and executed this could be faster. Anyway, good run with the classic route here but I am happy to be able to do something else now
FF7 any% No Slots Speedrun in 6:33:44 [Ex-WR and big sub 35 Goal!] Zheal 2022-07-12 | Channel: twitch.tv/zhealDiscord: discord.gg/Qz7QWZ3SRC Profile: speedrun.com/user/ZhealGame: Final Fantasy VIICategory: any% No SlotsVersion: NTSC-UDate: July 8th 2022This is the main speedrun category for this game. It prohibits the use of Cait Sith's 2nd Limit Break "Slots" which has the ability to win every boss fight immediately. It skips big chunks of the start of CD1, Kalm, Cosmo Canyon and the end of CD2. It uses Tifa's weapon "Powersoul" to deal 16 times her basic attack damage.This is my Final PB and World Record after a long grind in this category. My big goal was a sub 35 and I grinded for it since February 2022. The route had a lot of issues for a while, especially around the Steproute and the Long Range Materia. We came up with a good route eventually featuring elevator manipulation, a good steproute with especially nice formations, Long Range and using the Fury Ring in combination with a Spider Web for Demons Gate. I am extremely happy about this run. It was a very quick improvement after my last PB that I set only a few days earlier, which was a 6:35:23. It was a bit devestating that it wasn't a sub 35 since I thought it would take weeks, potentially months until I get another chance for such a run but already next session RNG blessed me with another run and another chance.The run was overall amazing. I managed to make up the big deficits that my old PB had in the first two hours and keep it. The run has some noticable timelosses at Materia Keeper, Schizo and Hojo but literally every other part of the run was beautiful, it was a truly blessed run. This run features also my first perfect Demons Gate fight with the new strats with a fight length of just over 2 minutes, it was a beautiful fight. I hope everyone has as much fun watching the run as I had running it.

It uses Tifa's weapon "Powersoul" to deal 16 times her basic attack damage.This run uses at this point the most up to date route. It's still very fresh but it improves slightly on several things. This is also my first upload of a run with the latest big skip, Kalm. By manipulating the way the world map is loading areas with a chocobo we can unload parts of the world map and clip through a mountain, which lets us skip the trigger inside the Mythril Mines and go straight to Junon without watching the flashback in Kalm.The run was overall pretty good. It features a new steproute and a new Demons Gate strat that uses the Fury Ring and a Spider Web. Since the route, steproute and menus are rather new things are a bit sloppy here and there still but RNG has been very kind overall, especially in CD1. I hope I can improve on this soon. A sub 6:35 time is definitely possible, even though hard and would be a big accomplishment.

Secret of Mana world first sub 1h40m Speedrun Zheal 2021-07-18 | Secret of Mana World World Record speedrun completed by Zheal completing the game in under 1h40m, the fastest run ever recorded for this speedrun category.Game: Secret of ManaCategory: any% 1p2c NoMultitap RTAVersion: NTSC-UDate: July 17th 2021any% 1 Player 2 Controllers is the main category of this game. It makes use of certain glitches that need the runner to control 2 characters at the same time with 2 controllers. This is a glitch and skip heavy category, features a lot of smart boss strategies and enemy despawn manipulations through specific movement in fields.First sub 1:40 milestone, World Record and long-term goal of mine. I hated this last push for it and complained a lot but I was too stubborn to let it rest and finally got it.The run was pretty good overall. No Tropicallo quick kill and some minor timeloss before Spiky Tiger were things in the early game that could have gone better but all the early game bosses, Fire Gigas, Wall Face, Killroy and Jabberwocky died properly without a lot of issues which is a great start overall. Midgame was generally amazing and not much to complain about except some minor losses before Spring Beak and Vampire and some bigger ones on the Fire Temple and Sewers splits. Endgame was very mixed but good enough to clutch it out. Amazing Hexas, MechRider3 and DreadSlime splits but lost a lot to Buffy and Dark Lich. Finished off strong with a gold on Mana Beast, great run.Channel: twitch.tv/zhealDiscord: discord.gg/Qz7QWZ3SRC Profile: speedrun.com/user/Zheal
FF7 any% No Slots speedrun in 6:55:51 [Ex-World Record] Zheal 2021-06-26 | Channel: twitch.tv/zhealDiscord: discord.gg/Qz7QWZ3SRC Profile: speedrun.com/user/ZhealGame: Final Fantasy VIICategory: any% No SlotsVersion: NTSC-UDate: June 8th 2021This is the main speedrun category for this game. It prohibits the use of Cait Sith's 2nd Limit Break "Slots" which has the ability to win every boss fight immediately. It skips big chunks of the start of CD1, Cosmo Canyon and the end of CD2 and uses Tifa's weapon "Powersoul" to deal 16 times her basic attack damage.This run is basically the updated version of my 6:59:09 accounting for new strats. The biggest change was the new version of the Cosmo Canyon skip which is now much simpler and much faster. It doesn't need a chocobo or pixel perfect movement on the world map anymore. We can basically just drive over the trigger with proper positioning. Shoutouts to KumaTV for finding it. But this is not the only addition to my old PB. A new steproute in CD2 and some great world map manipulations like Mythril Cave to Junon ro Mt. Nibel to Rocket Town are also featured here.The run itself was not quiet as good as my 6:59:09 in comparison but pretty close. We left Midgar at 1:31:50 which is a new record for Midgar with stairs on PSX Discs too. It was so good that it was too early for my mapped manipulations so it normalized at Junon. This run can save another minute on Materia Keeper, well over one minute in the Temple of the Ancients and close to another one on Jenova-LIFE and Schizo combined since I got Aqualung and a slow Schizo kill. CD2 generally until Carry Armor wasn't too special, not bad though but Carry Armor was an insane fight and this whole run basically is carried by that fight. Endgame was decent too so not much to save there but Final Descend has still 30s+ of potential. Future runs need to profit from the potential time from MK, Temple, J-Life, Schizo and Final Descend while at the same time maintain everything that went exceptionally well like the early game until Mt. Nibel, Carry Armor and late game.
Final Fantasy VII any% speedrun in 6:49:48 [Ex-World Record] Zheal 2021-04-11 | Channel: twitch.tv/zhealDiscord: discord.gg/Qz7QWZ3SRC Profile: speedrun.com/user/ZhealGame: Final Fantasy VIICategory: any% PSXVersion: NTSC-UDate: April 5th 2021This is FF7 pure any%, no limits, no boundaries on PlayStation. It is played on a PS2 770001. The run skips big chunks of the start of CD1, Cosmo Canyon and the end of CD2. It exploits Cait Siths Level 2 Limit Break "Slots". If done right you can manipulate "Game Over" on every enemy and win the fight immediately. This new route also uses Tifa's weapon "Powersoul" to deal 16 times her basic attack damage later in the game for some minor time improvements.The run was decent. It is not yet very optimized since we still work on the route. It is WR but not through execution or a grind but new strats and a new route. Luzbels 6:59 still stands as the best run for the strats he used. Nonetheless was the run deathless and hit almost all Quick-Slots except one at Carry Armor that I was lucky enough to backup. Generally Disc1 and the first half of Disc2 up to Carry Armor was very decent, it was the latergame in Underwater Reactor, Rocket Town, Hojo and especially CD3 that was very unfortunate and lost a lot of time due to Tifa RNG and a risky strat on Bizarro Sephiroth not working. I am still happy about this first big step and I am looking forward to see where the journey goes.

FF7 any% No Slots speedrun in 6:59:09 [Ex-World Record and first Sub 7hrs] Zheal 2020-10-25 | Channel: twitch.tv/zhealDiscord: discord.gg/Qz7QWZ3SRC Profile: speedrun.com/user/ZhealGame: Final Fantasy VIICategory: any% No SlotsVersion: NTSC-UDate: Oct. 24th 2020This is the main speedrun category for this game. It prohibits the use of Cait Sith's 2nd Limit Break "Slots" which has the ability to win every boss fight immediately. It skips big chunks of the start of CD1, Cosmo Canyon and the end of CD2 and uses Tifa's weapon "Powersoul" to deal 16 times her basic attack damage.This was the first ever sub 7 hour speedrun of FF7 using original PS disks and not using the Slots ability. At the point of achieving this it was even the fastest PlayStation run since slots runners have not adapted the Cosmo Canyon Skip yet. It is a milestone I worked on for months of routing and practicing. A lot of credit also goes to Meesbaker and Brutalspeed who made the skips and route used in this run possible and all the people who watched and supported me while grinding this out.The run itself was overall very solid. CCskip depends on a specific in game time that has to be seperately routed and met every time you run. The one I used here was 2:50:04 which is not insanely fast but a good upper field and routing an earlier one would be the first point to look at when going for a better time than this. Other than that the only 2 other major timelosses were 30s on Jenova Death and 40s on Diamond Weapon due to Limit Break issues. This run has everything I could wish for. Solid executed boss fights, all encounter skips I go for, a solid steproute through the whole game, all skips first try, decently fast menus, not too much need for backups and lots of good rng. For future Zheal: "I was happy about this, don't talk it down, asshole"

It skips big chunks of the start of CD1 and the end of CD2 and uses Tifa's weapon "Powersoul" to deal 16 times her basic attack damage.This run uses a new route featuring the new Cosmo Canyon Skip. We put Cloud in a glitched state on the world map using a Chocobo. We then manipulate the world map pixel perfectly so we can make it to the trigger next to Cosmo Canyon where the buggy would normally break down. When doing it right the trigger can be passed and the buggy stays intact, enabling us to continue to Nibelheim.Skipping Cosmo Canyon has heavy impact in the route and while saving a lot of time, it also makes many things a lot harder, more inconsistent and slower. The skip right now should save around 8-9 minutes.This is the first PB with the new 2:50:04 CCskip timing which saves 2:37 minutes compared to the old one. We got the major timesaves from last run in the temple and final descent but lost a good amount throughout the run. Overall this was a very balanced run without any major timelosses. Goal is still sub 7 hours which might need an even better CCskip timing.

CD1 was close to perfect which was crazy to play and to experience. It gave us the buffer we needed at Schizo who cost us a good chunk of our time due to Tifa not hitting. CD2 overall is improvable but nothing was bad either. Carry Armor was not the fastest but turned out good enough. Endgame cost a good bit of time as well since I got an extra encounter at the very end and Safer Sephiroth killed Tifa. Still very happy, it was truly the best run I had so far.

CD2 was started pretty mediocre but had a perfect Schizo bossfight. Until Carry Armor things were pretty smooth and the boss itself was amazing as well. After that I lost quiet a bit of time due to bad RNG with some fights and Diamond Weapon. Luckily Hojo and the Final Descend manipulation was good enough to still save a minute at the end.

Kalm had a little hiccup but after that the run was overall very good. First try poisons on Materia Keeper and Palmer, good Zolom Skips and first try Spencers. Sub 2:30 would be the dream but since you need to manipulate Yuffie for the warp later on and she only appears at certain timings you'd need to be overall fast enough to reach the next "timing rule" for yuffie and get first try Spencers again.

Good temple but Limit farm for Cloud and Aqualung on Jenova-Life cost me a minute. CD2 was generally really good. Way up to Schizo was awesome, Schizo fight average but Jenova-Death was pretty bad. For the rest of CD2 there is nothing really to complain about. CD3 had a little hiccup resulting into an extra encounter but 7s wait for 2 encounters in the final descent made a bit up for it.

It skips big junks of the start of CD1 and the end of CD2 and abuses Tifa's weapon "Powersoul" to deal 16 times her basic damage.Very good early game with a 1:33:03 Midgar. Flawless Kalm segment and Zolom Skip. A little hiccup and Bottomswell but nothing too bad. Run continued to be absolutely insane(even without Right Arm) until Death Sentence where we lost a minute. Materia Keeper and Palmer were ridiculously good but i lost a minute to Demon's Gate by making a little mistake in the fight. Early CD2 was pretty average but the train and Carry Armor segments were really good. I unfortunately lost more than 1:30 minutes to the segment right after Carry Armor to Rude due to bad luck with the normal encounters and tifa not hitting. Diamond Weapon was awesome but i lost a bit of time at Hojo, still a good fight though. CD3 was also very good with 13s wait to reduce the FD from 3 to 2 encounters.

It skips big junks of the start of CD1 and the end of CD2 and abuses Tifa's weapon "Powersoul" to deal 16 times her basic damage.The run had a very strong start at 1:32:52 when leaving Midgar. Unfortunate mistake led to a dramatic timeloss at the Midgar Zolom Skip. From there CD1 was very good, all poison bosses 1st try poison and 2/3 manips were also 1st try and one 6th. Aqualung at Jenova Life prevented a big timesave there. CD2 in was pretty good as well in general. Some little hiccups happened with a slow Carry Armor and and some bad fights before Rude. I did a successfull Final Descent manipulation down from 10 encounters to 3 encounters. This run lost stepcount at the very last encounter, otherwise it was perfect and I got all encounter skips except the last one in CD2 Junon.

The true any% category would skip verminator but the game has a high chance of softlocking while doing that. It's a very glitch and skip heavy game. The run skips big parts of act 1 and 3 and act 4 almost entirely.Almost one year later finally an 8s improvement and a sub 15:50.
