Insane Difficulty: FF6 Beyond Chaos playthrough - Insane Difficulty

My next playthrough will be on FF6 Beyond Chaos randomizer, made from Abyssonym: the one that i consider the best randomizer guy of the whole FF6 scenario.
In the first minutes of part 1 i directly show how to make work the program, using a fresh new rom, generate the randomized rom and so i start to play.

As seed i wrote: 205141111894518
It's not a random choice, it's "Tenkarider" converted into numbers, letter by letter:
T -> 20
E -> 5
N -> 14
K -> 11
A -> 1
R -> 18
I -> 9
D -> 4
E -> 5
R -> 18
So it's my personal randomized seed XD
Due to the random nature of the game, i really cannot provide a commentary of my actions, strategies, choices since i really don't know what will gonna happen as i play
Enjoy my run!

part 1 - how to use it Tutorial + intro


part 2 - One man Army(of many Gau)


part 3 - A moogle rules Figaro...

part 4 - Siegfried-in-a-box!



part 5 - Vargas wasn't alone...

Due to its new randomization, i cannot manage to perform Suplex... looks like you'll never see it in action!

part 6 - Kefka knew everything!

No surprise that they found the returners...

I doubt anyone will notice the difference.

Probably.

Well I, for one, would like to know your thoughts and reactions... especially as I am the mod's developer.

• I was disappointed that you had Blitz for Vargas... until I realized what the true boss of Mt. Koltz was.
  
• It seems like people are encountering TunnelArmr a lot in the newer versions... I guess it makes sense. It wasn't available for random encounters in older versions, and it's one of the few bosses with an appropriate level for the early zones.
  
• You can do Suplex easily, just press "up up R R down". It seems like the diagonal inputs scare off a lot of players from using Blitz, so starting from version 50, Blitzes are going to always have diagonals in logical places and will look less scary (but won't be any less difficult to do, IMO).
  
• R-Earth is pretty nice when you have float.
  
• I chuckled a bit when you talked to that Returner and he said "Not even the Empire'd think to look here for us!", right after you fought Kefka-in-a-box.
  
• Apparently the Returners aren't lacking in funding, Banon had some wicked gear and his abilities weren't bad either... he can Jump away from danger whenever he wants. He's the perfect escort mission NPC.

- I think i had an insane amount of luck in having Blitz right with him
- I'll try casting Suplex once more, then...
- It's funny how Xianpu, which looks appearently weak, reveals useful at the end;
- Kefka hidden in a box in returner's hideout was epic
- Banon is basically invincible(i might say he's the one who escorts me )... part 7 will definitively show that.

_____________________________________________________


part 7 - Banon is a Shinobi!



part 8 - JACKPOT!!!

The best usage of Genji Glove in the whole history of videogames.

part 9 - We have the thief!

Not so much obvious, but in the randomizer you definitively want to find the steal guy as soon as possible: my bro didn't had steal with any ally and so he was forced to use Thief Knife to steal...

Tenkarider, on 04 March 2015 - 04:45 PM, said:

Can you tell us what that usage is?

Wow, how many times do you have to fight TunnelArmr?

Well... the best way to know that should be watching the video...

Tenkarider, on 05 March 2015 - 04:01 AM, said:

The best way to know is reading about it, because that way nobody has to watch your video....

Abyss told me what's up, though.

The best thing of TunnelArmr is that it's the only known way to farm Warp Stones

As soon as i get a new equip, i always check it's effect as breakable(if it exists), only after that i equip it.
I love breakable equip hidden spells! Said that, for me Presenter in your mod means early kill and loot, because all the times my bro met him he always had death/stone weakness, or still he always had a way to kill him right in that moment... in his case the most unexpected way to kill him was sketching his special, which was istant death/stone effect(still he never had a way to kill both the monsters, like me ).

part 10 - Random train (no ideas for the title...)



part 11 - Already found the MVP?

What in the hell means Cure3 as battle command and 60+ magic as starting parameter?!?


part 12 - dat monster-in-a-clock...

This time i'm gonna wait for reinforcements...

part 13 - Kefka, you cannot pass!


part 14 - Rare stuff


part 15 - Farm road

part 16 - What the hell was that?!?

A funny battle...

part 17 - Random espers!

Too bad only few of them can completely benefit of their powers...

part 18 - Finally a Sneak Ring!

I don't know if 80% of monsters i meet have only rare steal item to steal or what: my thief sucks at stealing!

part 19 - The first Kefka's fanatics were here!

Not too much friendly...


part 20 - What the... Earrings, do you...?

That's what i call sweet.


part 21 - Persistent couple

Blocked almost everything...

part 22 Neat random for new espers!

Speed won't be a problem...


part 23 Rider, you disappoint me!

May someone use Tools or Throw!!


part 24 - heh, WoR will wait a bunch of time...

We have THE boss.

part 25 - Epic fail

At least i discovered he's weak to ice...


part 26 - Experiment failure

No good, if i won't find Thief Knife effect before going to Thamasa, then i'll lose some potentially good stealing item...


part 27 - In search of more power

I need of proceed, if i wanna beat the infamous couple...

part 28 - Nutkin for Atma?

Not bad, but i was hoping for something better...


part 29 - Really disappointed from Armory...

Damn, my bro found in 2 chests both Gold and Skull Dragons!!!


part 30 What a funny couple XD

Revealed the secret command for Shadow.

part 31 - Ugh, i cannot steal for an entire dungeon...

Still, what's the nature of R-Geo?


part 32 - What the...?!?.

I believe i triggered Ultros death script in the most improbable way of the universe!!!


part 33 - What a marvelous esper!

What i really needed...
