I made my first SaGa Frontier mod!

It’s not really a mod, but shhhhh.

This “mod” will let you run away from any battle. Yes, that includes boss fights. However, there’s a catch; every fight you run away from still increases your Battle Rank. All you have to do is apply my patch to your SaGa Frontier .bin ROM. Here’s the download link: https://www.ffvdgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/USA-RunawayPatch-v0.1.zip

Enjoy!

I got my first Romancing SaGa 3 PB in Any% NMG! 2:46:14!!!

I finally got my first PB. It’s a bad run, but a very solid first PB. I lost 15 minutes to my SOB I got the other day, so that plus however much time I lost cuz either the game was dumb or I was dumb means I can get sub-2 if I have a clean run with first-try fights. Just need to grind the hard stuff more.

The ultimate goal I have is to get sub-2 by the middle of November so I can more directly compete with the competition in the 3rd Romancing SaGa Ekiden Relay. I’m gonna be competing against the guy who’s currently in 4th place, so that’ll be fun :))))))))))))

Anyway, here’s the run:

I got a (bad) PB in Riki’s Story! 1:13:04

This run was so bad. Basically I only saved time to a better beginning, a generally cleaner Mosperiburg, and having faster text due to playing on JP. My biggest time losses were mouse, DevilSquid, graveyard, and MasterRing. This run puts me in 11th overall now. Watch the run here:

I got another PB in Riki’s Story! 1:23:55!!!

So I saved all the time I said I would and shot up 4 places overall. I’m now 13th overall, but still 4th on speedrun.com cuz 3rd is a 1:09 by cha0s. I’m okay with this run, even though I made tons of mistakes throughout and was relatively slow with equips. It was under the estimate for SaGa 2020, so I’m happy I’ve already gotten to that point. Anyway, here’s the run:

I will be improving this time live on my twitch stream right up until August 1, which is when SaGa 2020 is taking place.

I GOT A SAGA FRONTIER WORLD RECORD!!!

OH MY GOD I DID IT!!! I got the world record for Blue’s Story after over 1100 attempts and nearly 100 hours of practice! The new world record is 21:24, a world record by 23 seconds (I got the time wrong in the video. It’s 2 am when I’m writing this give me a break). The previous world record was 21:47 by cl_op_s, who held this record for over three years. Watch the run below:

I hope you guys enjoy this new record!
